The electric field of a magnet

Ice will not conduct electricity(normally) it will run along its surface, I have seen this first hand using high voltage.
What is this field around the coil, I think its electric and here's why as the ice melted you could see the field sliced through the ice in layers, it had to cut the ice to reach the coil.
So we can use ice to separate the coil from its electric field, that means we can channel the field, if we can get the coil geometry right we should be able to channel the electric field into our conductor the electric field should act just like electricity taking the path of least resistance.
We should be able to catch the electric field without pulsing.

Something else that I have been thinking, if a dielectric material will do the same, say a resin like they use to pot high voltage transformer's.
Although the ice seemed to make the magnetic field stronger, maybe because it was concentrating the fields, not sure.
There's alot that needs to be done, I hope to have the coils wound today it gets real slow at the end I have to wind about three winds then glue them and wait for the glue to dry.
I have a idea how to speed up the process, Im going to try it and see.
I will keep this thread updated.

Haste makes waste sometimes, Im afraid I messed up the trumpet coil, I'll know more after it drys.
I may try a heavier wire, a heavier wire should have more surface area and maybe it wont jump the winds so easily.
I see uncharted sea's ahead
to boldly go where no man has gone before

Hi Dave,
Nice looking coil. The shape very much reminds me of an old pic I saw just a few days back. I think the caption read (Tesla's telluric current oscillator).
I will look more and post a link if you have interest.

PS In this mechanical amplifier video by Jim Murry @ about 11:00 you can see the Tesla device.

Hey guys been trying to stay on the experiments rather than the computer, I got the coils built, setting up to play with them a bit before putting them in ice.
I also have an idea and am working on it as well, Im taking welding rods cleaning them up well then winding them with fiberglass strands from the fiberglass mat this should make a very good dielectric then Im winding them with twenty four guage magnet wire these will be bundled to make cores, Im hoping the copper wire in the core will collect eddy currents.
I'll post pics.

Edit: If anyone has heard of anyone trying this approach give a shout. ThanksHalf of the Answer is knowing the right Question

Here's the coils, finally got them wound
glass wound on welding rod
with wire, now about 11 more
here's a pic of the winding machine built out of an old electric wheelchair, I got a foot control from a sewing machine works great.
