exactly, aiding bifilars would create an intens magnetic flux intensity, squared.
would the twisted chokes survive the emf?

I think its going to have to be a GOOD heavy build on the wires
to survive an automotive environment.  Also the magnetic pulsing  is
going to put a lot of mechanical stress on it.

I'm not 100% sure yet, but I think I've found a suitable replacement for
the SS430F/FR wire.  Nichome C aka MWS-675, Tophet C, HAI-NiCr 60, Alloy C, Nikrothal 6, Electroloy....

38 AWG 42.19 ohms per foot, faint magnetic attraction per MWSwire.com

Don't those wire specs sound familiar?

The magnetic flux created in the Vic from the dual primary
 (yes, bifilar wound as per tech brief and in series "aiding" per Tesla) creates
a strong enough field on the bifilar twisted choke(spiral wrapped as per tech brief), that it
stops current from flowing out of the chokes.

Its all about the magnetic field clinching onto the electrons in the chokes and not letting them go anywhere.

The electron clustering is from the voltage potential difference from the chokes to
the electrodes(positive attracts negative).

While the electrons are in the neighborhood, switch in a different positive potential that does let current
flow and drag them electrons out. 

None of the replication attempts that I have seen are directed at the magnetic pinching of electrons.
That's why none work IMO. 

It just sunk in last weekend.  I'm gathering/ordering parts now that I have an understanding
and a direction to go.

I don't necessarily blame BP.  If they were allowed to drill in shallower water this wouldn't be as big of an issue or maybe not happened at all. 

You have to admit it is one heck of an engineering effort to start drilling a mile down from the surface of the ocean. To fix any issues that happen at a mile deep at those type of pressures is inconceivable to most people.   

I feel bad for the people that live around the affected Gulf areas.  It's hard enough to make a decent living and when something like this happens that can ruin your livelihood, it  can mentally break you.

impedance is lowest because the inductive reactance and capacitive reactance are equal and opposite - NOT because they are both zero... they are both large.

Thanks for that post Donaldwfc.

While I never thought the impedance would be zero at resonance, I did not think about aiming for reactances of a large resistance. 

I would think the circuit would have to have a fairly sharp Q for this, and I'm not so sure a water cap is capable, but I can't say that with any degree of certainty...at least not yet.

Hmmm....something else to ponder on.

"A word of caution is in order with series LC resonant circuits: because of the high currents which may be present in a series LC circuit at resonance, it is possible to produce dangerously high voltage drops across the capacitor and the inductor"

Please explain how or where there can be high voltage at resonance in a series LC circuit.

Maybe I can't comprehend it because of my preconceived notion that at resonance, a series LC circuit is
at it's lowest impedance.   

Lowest impedance=highest amperage=low voltage.
