I have reported my 25 nS actual measurements
using my dual-trace 100 MHz o'scope.

I assume that your physics lab has the ability
to perform such a simple measurement. May I
suggest that you simply perform the experiment
and report the results - or get one of your
students to do it.

I suspect that others have done such experiments,
measured what I measured, and are withholding the
results for obvious reasons.

I'm not the one hawking the tonic, Cecil. But send me the coil, and
I'll happily test it, report back, and return it to you after.
