In the (non-ecclesiastical) category of 'nothing new under the sun' Here is an article that many vortician 'flamers' will surely like. I have a vague memory of trying something similar, many years ago without success. http://www.swtpc.com/mholley/PopularElectronics/May1968/Flame_Amplification. htm
Best I can tell, a reasonable expectation for this type of a small 'etna' flame (50-100 watt equivalent) without an "addition" [conductivity enhancer, which can be hidden] would be at least one megohm of resistance and probably more. That is rather limiting, for use an antenna, one would think. Jones
