In 2012 I tried to crack this and failed ending up inventing the Bug vibro coil, but re inspired recently by Wayfinders Blog...
...we're onto it!
Tonally awesome, no noise, so simple to build, and totally unlimited to what you can build around the concept...
Inductance the two loops system!

What The!. Great work Bug. Now if you could make a video, step by step building this thing for us thick folk that would be great
Well, it certainly beats watching a home-made pickup winder going round for several hours before snapping the hair-thin wire. Looks like a great way to make a home-made pickup. Also looks like you can make the pickup really thin and hide the amplification gubbins somewhere else.
Great job Bug, and good on Wayfinder, Oily et al for inspiring you to go into the shed and bash some metal.

Any chance of getting a raw video demo without effects? I'd like to do a feature on this, but I need a simpler video without the hoopla.
This is awesome!
Oh.
Sounds like an electrified can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
