Dave, I like the idea of a triply wound helix, but I will have to think about whether it would provide the same kind of conveyor moving field - it may. It would solve the cross-over issues of the coils. It is the non-axial components of the field that would seem to be at play in both cases - triple helix or three successive axial coils.
