Verpies Does this include the grounding?
Usually, I use a symmetrical ungrounded system to measure the round-trip reflecton delay of the TC coil only, like this: Nice build, grounding is relative and more related to an effect than the ground per say. For example, in your setup we have a high potential induced in the secondary which can oscillate between the two end loads like any ordinary capacitance. However in this case one end on the secondary has a positive charge and the other a negative charge, equal yet opposite. This is true because the coil volume is limited containing a finite number of conduction electrons. However the moment we connect one end to a "ground" the number of conduction electrons is not limited and the ground becomes part of the circuit. In this case the whole of the coil will alternately be charged positive then negative with respect to the ground. better put, in your setup you can only produce a charge separation across the coil ie. (+)coil(-) or (-)coil(+). However when a ground plane comes into play then the whole of the coil becomes positive or negative as follows. Ground(-)>>>>coil(+), Ground(+)<<<coil(-) and the charge separation is then between the ground and the coil. Now ask yourself why this matters?, to what end?. If the coil produces a charge separation across the coil then the ends are not unlike two plates of a capacitor. However if the coil is connected to a ground plane then the coil becomes one plate of a capacitor and the ground plane the other. Obviously there is a difference and this difference is of great importance with respect to the kind of effects were looking for. Think about it... in one instance the coil would act like two plates of a capacitor due to the charge separation, we connect a ground then the coil is forced to act like only one plate of a capacitor with the ground being the other plate. Most don't understand this, what happens when we move one plate of a conventional plate capacitor?... the capacitance changes. Since the energy in a capacitor is equal to 1/2CV^2 and the capacitance has changed then the energy must have changed as well. Since we know the energy must have changed then where was the point of dissipation of the energy?. Well, it's now between the coil and the ground plane and if for any reason the Earth potential should change then obviously this change would be reflected in the total energy between the coil and the ground plane. This is how we attach a circuit to the wheelwork of nature, we make our circuit an integral part of nature able to interact with it. We create a motional circuit element which does not actually have to involve a physical motion. Think of it this way, if we had two charged capacitor plates and we could make one plate instantly cease to exist the change in potential would be infinite. Apparently one person actually achieved something similar to this and even a marginal initial charge produced millions of volts. Which doesn't actually violate the laws of physics but more so proves there are countless variations of the laws that we have yet to fully comprehend. Understand the Conservation Of Energy always applies however were swimming in a sea of energy ready to be transformed so energy was never the problem... understanding how to transform it is the problem.
