I do have all four Tesla coils up and running. Currently I'm testing out how to configure the four coils together to produce a rotating electric field.
Is there a specific reason you need Tesla Coils, or are you just trying to make a rotating magnetic field?
If all you want is to make a rotating electromagnetic field, I fear you're over-thinking it a bit. All you need is 2 or more electromagnets running off AC currents that are out of step. (3 coils at 120 degree intervals is quite common) Where the fields intersect, you get a rotating magnetic field. AC motors, invented by Tesla, use that principle, with a centre rotor attached to a permanent magnet, which rotates itself to align with the rotating magnetic field, producing mechanical work. You would just replace the centre rotor in the design with whatever you want to be influenced by the rotating magnetic field.
I'm not interested at all in rotating magnetic fields. I have built rotating magnetic field generators in the past. There is nothing new at all to be learned from them.
There is a specific reason I'm choosing Tesla coils. The coils create huge electric fields. I don't know of any other device that can do that. The magnetic component appears to be missing. So if there is a magnetic field present, it isn't even strong enough to deflect a compass needle.
I want the electric field to be as strong as I can get it without creating a lightening bolt. So the secondary coil is always run as an open circuit.
Here is an interesting question that I may acquire an answer to. Will a simulated moving electric field create an accompanying huge magnetic field?
As far as I know, there are no devices that utilize rotating electric fields. I've seen patents for them. And it was mentioned that huge electric fields were used in the Philadelphia experiment. But very little info exists on how the electric fields were created.
This is entirely experimental. So it's a learn as I go type of project. But I am going to couple this rotating electric field generator with my Zero Time Generator just to see if there is a resonant reaction that takes place.
