What Is Litz Wire?
Many thin strands, each individually insulated, twisted together. Reduces skin effect at high frequency — more current uses the full conductor cross-section.

The Voltage Climb
1.5V → 3V → 6V → 9V. The cap bank voltage kept climbing as the litz wire pickup harvested energy from the spinning pulse motor rotor.
