You did a very nice job with this DSE coil, it's very clean.
For your question about the micro generator, in my case it was more beneficial as it increased the metal surfaces but in no case should they touch each other, only the ambient air separates them. I used two metal heads of the work lamp, the third mass is natural earth, our good old earth.
If you look closely at the circuit construction, It is a ambient micro generator,
I built this circuit a few years ago and for more than two years the mine has worked very well without any external source, only the ambient provided the necessary voltage.
the voltage doubler is the bridge diode at the begining who charge the capacitor and after some time the bjt circuit pulse the LED and a flash appear.
Congratulations, you have a eternal energy harvester ! ☺️
It will work forever, mine is working since March, Editor and AlteredUnity built theirs also in March (you can find them in this thread) and Jagau's prototype (the original) is working for more than two years.

If someone is still thinking the device is gathering energy from human-made sources (like radio stations) I'm just adding here a video fragment showing it's not the case. Watch this video from to 07:26 to 16:58.
I set the video to start directly at the explanation about actually how small the energy of the radio stations is:
So we're talking about micro-volts per second. So there is no way to light two big LEDs at every 2-3 seconds by gathering a few uV per second from the radio stations.
And the same things about other radio emitters, I tried that by shutting down my router's wireless emissions (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and I saw no effect on the behavior of the device.

As I said in one of my previous posts I'm adding here a video of my micro-generator replica took about one month ago during a 15 km far but very strong thunderstorm cell:
In my area was no rain and no wind, just some clouds. But at about 15 km away (according to the weather radars) was a strong thunderstorm cell which did significant damages in that area.
The second part of the video is where I turned on the lights.
I never saw it going crazy and being so intense like this before or after that remote thundersorm cell.
Just another proof of the fact that the energy source of the micro-generator is not the human-made radio or other artificial sources and also a proof of device's sensitivity.
Compare the video with this one when it was actually raining and had thundersorms in the area.
