Richard, 

Good work!  This is just about what we did in the 1994 ESJ article 
mentioned earlier.  Two things; an "un-modified" ES voltameter will read 
AC volts as well as DC.  An electrometer is the better choice.  This may 
be the culprit in your 1/r reading.  Second, you are making use of the 
good office of highly charged matter particles (air molecules).  These 
definitely throw a monkey wrench into the works.  We have done this 
virtually to death!  Now, lose the fan and you will see, basically, the 
true ES "explosive wave" accumulation approach the inverse sqare law, 
provided you see the DC component only. 

 It is nice that you are in search of the amazing DC wave component of 
the coil.  The key factor is to shut the coil off and make an 
instantaneous electrostatic VM reading!  This is the true DC component of 
the signal.  The RF component disappears instantly!  This is what we had 
to do in our original work.  Actually, it usually was real close to the 
normal max run reading.  You must super insulate the collection terminal 
and elimenate all edges to avoid rapid air discharge after shut down.  A 
toroid would be better and a sphere ideal.  You must wipe the terminal 
down with alcohol and clean, lint free, cloth mere seconds before the 
test to elimenate any trace of dust.  WD-40 is also good.

P.S. your stuff is on its way.
