Hi. I was discussing this on a private list, but George hit on the same problem and posted publically about it. A torroid is a leaky animal, especially an air core one, which is what this resolves too when you saturate it with a big impulse as described and shown in the scope shots. That leakage flux will readily interact with the nail, hence the results as shown. The effect on dielectrics is hardly surprising either, given the strong electric fields caused by time changing flux. I'm just not seeing the anomaly here, excepting the laser experiment which needs to be replicated. If that proves reproducible then they might really have something...

Here is some interesting work, which George Holz is involved with: http://jlnlabs.imars.com/vpexp/ I struggled for a while to imagine how one could possibly exploit this. No claim is made for it being OU now. That probably awaits the advent of RTSC. But even then, is there an implementation that outputs electric current? Imagine 6 pairs of these coils surrounding another toroid - which can be a one turn conductor... or 6 of these around a ferrite forming a "unit" and imagine 6 of those units around a one turn wire connected to load. Frank Grimer's coils-within-coils, ad infinitum... Jones
