A Tesla coil would produce large amounts of displacement current because it is
a) high voltage
b) high frequency
The capacitance is very small but exists:
i) between adjacent turns of wire in the coil, and
ii) from the top electrode to ground.
So there will be magnetic field in the coil (inductor), as well as in the displacement current surrounding the tesla coil.
Not sure what these would look like or if/how they would interact.
The displacement current field should be orthogonal to the inductor's field, so given that magnetism is a vector they should add vectorially to give a resultant field which is at .. 45 degrees??
Would a coil placed at 90 degrees to the tesla coil produce energy for free by picking up the displacement field?
If the pickup coil was placed in the same orientation as the tesla coil then you would get direct magnetic coupling to the primary coil which is not what you want.
