I call Bullpoop on everything and all the wacky theories and "makes sense to me" theories in the posts above.

Here's why: In the FIRST LINE of the manufacturer's instructions for the Supercoil for which 360 so kindly posted the link, it states:

The 140001 Super Coil is designed with most of the primary resistance external of the coil to reduce inductive reactance and therefore increase the coil output.

360, what part of that did you not understand?

To everyone else, unless you ARE an electrical engineer or somehow have learned about R-L-C circuits, this is the part of alternating current circuits that you cannot understand with a direct current brain.

I do not pretend to know the exact answer, it has been too long from EE201 and EE301.
