This method of winding increases the interwinding capacitance, and also lowers the breakdown voltage of the overall coil, because adjascent turns have a higher potential between them. When I wound my
Beware of the very high voltages between the strands. Stefan mentioned up to 30kV loading coil voltage, I guess even a fraction of this voltage will cause arcing between the strands In addition the h
You could also put a small steel plate in line with the coil to monitor current - the mag field will pluck it like a speaker. Tune for maximum sound rather than maximum smoke! (It would be worth put
