Strange?

1. The current distribution shown on the web is different than
the current distribution shown in the model;
2. -4.91 + -20.59 + -90.01 = -115.51 is different than
90.01 - 15.68 = 74.33
3. The coil Vf shown on the web is 0.1375 is different than
eq (32) = 0.0078
4. refuting your own references (Corum²).

not strange at all.

Hi Richard,
Cecil never actually reads his references, he just
gives them and hopes you won't read them either. If he'd
bothered to look at figure 2 in the Corum reference he would
have found that the Corums had in mind a shorted stub as a
substitute for their Tesla coil. That's o.k., since it would lead
to an inductance (jZc*tan(Betag*h)) which they could use in the
time-honored way to resonate with the capacitance of the rest
of the circuit.
You're right, not strange at all.
