First I want to commend you on your effort! I would like to point out 
though that you are changing too many variables in your experiments 
ie. between test #1 and #2 you not only changed the primary from flat 
to a 30 degree inverted cone but you also went to a larger toroid, so
it is impossible to say which of these changes or if it required both 
to get the increased output your results show. In the future only 
change 1 variable and keep every thing else the same, this is the 
only way to truly determine what is happening.
