Using the ring launcher you have and attempting to shoot a ring of smoke at the coil hoping that it would make a ring arcs in the air, but instead it arced to the secondary windings?

Inner tube was right. Well done. My new double toroid covered with chicken wire seemed indestructible, at least from a fall at toroid height. Unfortunately when it hit the ground the central disc pinched the tube giving 2 cuts in it over an inch long. My repair job didn't hold as I only had small patches. Shouldn't be too hard to repair though with a new tube and the mesh holds its shape if deflated. The mesh covers both toroids at once. The electrical connection is solid and it should take a high power. All it took was an aluminium disc cut from a square (old one from child crossing sign), a free car tube and a $15 1000x20 truck tube. I will post details in a separate thread.

edit Ok on secondary review.... it also looks a bit like ferro fluid in weird lighting. Or maybe just oil dripping.... in weird light.
Is it from the inside of you fog machines reservoir?
first guess pre-edit before really looking at it.... It's the eye of a reptile of some fancy pieces. Probably a frog - could be a newt, salamander, or maybe a gecko.

Damn, I am making these too easy.
It is a single ferrofluid spike under Neon tube lighting.
The rest of the series are here. I am making a Ferrofluid public display and have been trying lighting ideas. Probably will use a back neon to get the direct reflection like here plus two side fluoros to pick up the spikes only.
I originally wanted to have grid lighting but it was a bit difficult and I have to have it ready next week.
I have taken video aas well but not yet edited. Will probably put that on YouTube when I get it done.
