A few weeks ago i decided to dive into this interesting subject. I think you all are familiar with this topic and know about the work of Thane Heinz and others.
My approach is similar but i start with some non-complicated math. Goal is to know how much delay a coil system should have to benefit from this effect. Therefore we have to measure the ohms and henry from a coil to calculate the time constant T which plays a key role here.

as we can see, if we shorten the secondary from transformer the time delay gets big. and the force which acts against our primary source dipole loose strength so this is what we want maybe...

For any RL system, the time constant is:

\(
\tau = \frac{L}{R_{\text{total}}}
\)

where:

* \(L\) is the effective inductance seen by the current path
* \(R_{\text{total}}\) is the total series resistance (winding resistance, external resistors, and any equivalent resistive damping introduced by loads or coupling networks)

a bit more of this can be found at: https://aether-research.institute/MSO5000_liveview_doc/delayed_lenz_coupled_inductors/

to make things complicated i decide to built an analytic RL transient simulator for pulse and sine excitation, mainly as a clean laboratory reference model for inductive experiments.

It models a single series RL branch (L, R_coil, R_load) and computes a lot of stuff.

maybe it is only for freaks šŸ˜Ž

Wow, excellent Bearndorfer!

You've got exactly where I'm looking for information on voltage transients.

If I could give two or more likes, I would have.

Thank you.

This is the first time I've seen a Doc R Stiffler reel in 3D, incredible.

after some refinements (mostly under the hood) v1.1.4 is ready. it is licensed under GPLv3 so everybody can use it freely. you can host it on your own server or use docker container if you like to have lab-security.

additional information can be found here

@jagau -> awesome image

just released v1.1.6 
- CH5 (if selected) shows p(t)=v(t)*i(t) as new plot in Scope
- Import Feature
- TANK view
- Value Reference Page
- and more calculated Metrics 

RLC-Analyzer on Docker Hub

Download Self-Host Bundle (v1.1.6)

or test it here

Hi @baerndorfer,

once I also read things about delayed lenz and JLNaudin experiments about it. Then I saw this experiment

http://jnaudin.free.fr/dlenz/DLE19en.htm

where is adjusted distance of coil from the rotor and I noticed a similarity with this Tesla's patent with "magnetic delay" which is used to shift excitation to some degree to run motor.

this is in JS and HMTL/CSS to run on browser platform. 

have a nice day!

---
when this tool is ready i will put it on github so everyone can replicate or work even further. the math used is on bottom of page. so no houdini there.

i do all the coding with Sublime Text.

For UI-design and framework i use GPT 5.2
