Thanks!   I read that long ago, but didn't dig up the Corum's paper to
check everything.

Terry's major beef centers on engineering: their paper is irrelevant to
coilers.  I totally agree.  And General Relativity is irrelevant to
mechanical engineers.  Their's is a science paper, and the situations
where it becomes important are with things like general EM theory, or
Tesla's World System, and NOT the situations ever encountered in building
lightning generators.   For example, multi-mode operation is a fascinating
physics phenomenon, but for engineers whose goal is to increase spark
length and efficiency, operation at higher modes is a useless distraction
which needs to be halted.   As Terry says,running a coil at upper
harmonics does not let them "operate acceptably."   That's very much an
engineering viewpoint.   Now a scientist *only* wants to examine the
"unacceptable" operation, since that's the stuff that's outside the box,
and not part of any coilers' knowledge.
