I had to post this,as it's something i would like to try soon.
John(DadHav) is a member here,although he dosnt visit much. But i thought this should be shown,along with some of his well built pulse motors.
Enjoy

Yeah it's good interesting stuff to experiment with.
Don't all his "grounds" go to the same place ? Because unless he has some actual ground between the individual ground connections it's just the same as many others have done. A Meyl like arrangement. I ran motors, filament bulbs, LED banks and even fluro's from my setup "which was similar but I drove mine at full resonant frequency with a DC chopper on the transmitter primary'. also I used an Armstrong Oscillator variant. And even transferred power from one steel shed to another via a single wire laying on the ground. He should know the neon will come on if he holds it even close to the coil. so should a fluro.
If he tunes his output coil he will get a sine wave output from it if the transmitter is outputting an auto tuned sine wave. And the power to the load on the output can be regulated by de-tuning the output tank.
