So... A good way to test to see if you have a 'scalar'
coil would be to see if you can resonate it.... There
should ne NO SRF (self resonate frequency) for such
a design.
To make a scalar coil, there must be B-Field cancellation
in order to cancel out the inductive field, also there needs
to be a cancellation in the distributive capacitance which
essentually is parallel wires. If there is a distributive
capacitance, the imaginary part of the impedance will grow
and thus it will not produce scalar fields.
Has anyone tested a 'scalar' coil for reactive impedance.
A network analyzer would be ideal and realitively cheap.
The analyzer scans through frequencies to see what the
impedance is for the device inder test. It is NOT like an
inductance tester which only tests at 1kHz or 1MHz for
the more expensive LCR meters.
