The patent is built around this coil’s projected ability to control plasmoid diameter, thus evening out yield variations of as much as 10:1 on shots that look like identical starting conditions. The initial angular (spin) velocity magnifies to the 4th power, so even an air conditioning compressor and fan could account for such large variations when the coil isn’t connected.
Energizing the AMC coil seems to have stabilized yields by overpowering all local fields. Hopefully it won’t be too difficult to get at least 256 programmable plasmoid diameters.
