The reversal of the EM wave at the resonant frequency alternations will not
sweep up the positive Ions.  This is what my X-mas experimental work was all
about.  It is a matter of timing!  As I have show, not all tesla coils or
even the same Tesla coil will produce E.S. charge!  You can choose to have
it or not.  It is totally a matter of power delivery methods and timing.
Put the power delivery pulses too close together and the E.S. disappears.
Weaken the power per pulse and it goes away.  In these latter cases, the
ions are sweep up in the first case and just not produced in sufficient
quantity in the second.  A tube coil suffers both maladies and even being a
true Tesla coil and putting out 10" arcs, no easily measured ions are
produced to accumulate charge at range.

Finally, a fan at 90 degrees wipes the charge out on all but the most
powerful of disruptive systems.

I expalin the possible theory for this in an upcoming article in TCBA news.
