The Smith Coil.

[attachment=238]
Hi Joel, I love coils, I have a coil design, That I have built and tested.
What does the Smith coil do?
Hi Tom,
I'll pipe in here. The caduceus coil was popularized by Wilbur Smith of Canada. He experimented with it as a sort of HF ~30khZ sink. He found at certain RF signals it would absorb the EM energy. Think of it as a way to create a ground potential without the ground. His reasoning for experimenting with it was kinda out-there.
