since I cant solve my challenge yet, I will first focus on something else.
tuning the L1 impulse to the L4 extra coil.
I have made new tuning caps for l2 and l3/l4
10nf and 60nf.
the 10nf is capable of around 3500V AC
made of 4x 10nF series parallel.
Now I am not limited anymore by the 1800V AC of the switchable tuning board.
I made measurements, of the impulse duration, and the L4.
Surprisingly, the L4 frequency is perfectly visible, on the outside rim of L3.
L4 is grounded and L3 is series connected as before, inside rim to inside rim.
DC offset is put away for now
scr297 clearly shows the L4 ripple, measured on the L3 outside rim. The impulse is clearly faster.
scr298 shows the impulse halfwave duration of 380ns
scr299 shows the L4 full wave ripple duration of 1114ns, so a half wave is 557ns
scr300 show L3/L4 inside rim, max voltage at max power, of 2747V pp (64V dc input, 157kc/s)
scr301 shows current of L3 in green 15A pp, and 90 degrees out of phase with voltage (orange)
scr302 shows current of L4 in green 7A pp but IN phase with voltage.
now the impulse can be slowed down (adding parallel caps), or the L4 can be sped up (removing windings)
L4 is now 897.666 kc/s
while L1= 1316 kc/s
rather unique, as the difference is size and windings would suggest differently.
This again shows the uniqueness of the L4 extra coil. Which has voltage and current in phase, and is clearly much faster then expected. Again proof for the longitudinal modus it vibrates in.
its wise to first tune to a subharmonic of L4.
897.666
5th=179.53 kc/s
6 th=149.611 kc/s
7th=128.24 kc/s
I did these tests at 157kc/s far from Ideal...
going lower would mean more caps parallel to L3.
let's add 5nf and see if I can get near 149 kc/s
