yes, and i think that his explanation is more correct than yours, coz
in contrast to Hull`s your mechanism can`t explain tube coil behavior:
"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."
but according to you _any_ coil must produce positive charge in _any_
case, coz it`s just a feature of charge carriers in surrounding air.
