For extra these effects in 1,2,3 mode are the great
and depend on coil geometry and geometry/size of
isotropic capacity object of its terminal.
For fast energy transfer for 2nd coil tight coupled to
primary ,current spikes (in Mhz+ spectrum) can
interfere too (stronger than in low coupled
system).This is an inherent property of every helical
resonator in transient operation.Paul Nicholson
might comment on this.

Certainly,if low impedance primary is used this part
(C2') may successfuly be realised as part of total
C2,and no big problem.But,the question is how low with
respect to other parameters in magnifier system is low
enough to satisfy us for OLTC design with high
coupling?

Must be definitely grounded then.You are right.

Scoping and lower power tuning  is way to go for
everyone who seriosly attempts to mess with any TC
design.
To big istropic capacity in the bottom of extra coil
isn't best solution for higher powered resonator.

In 1,2,n modes,when optimimum transferr occurrs ,if
toroid is smooth and roc choosen so that spark breaks
out at some 75% of max potential,the energy is
released in burst-almost explosively.Hull pointed out
that in his "maggy" systems with small 3rd
resonator,and dominant isotropic toroid sound was
something to hear,althought I doubt he had ever
achived (1,2,n)-like transfer or *true* mag operation
of any slower mode  .Therefore,I suspect something to
be different.

Some traces of 13M,can be viewed on www.ttr-dot-com
site,(in the end of 13M story article there are links
of msm).Not true magnifer judging by
waveform,althought drawn scheme clearly shows the
presence and recognising of C2 inthere.
