"How about coils of magnet wire to act as a transmitter?"

That would work fine. Try about 8" in diameter, maybe a hundred turns using the smallest wire you have handy. Munch the wire together so that the length is < 1/2 inch. You can use an oatmeal box or something of that nature for a form. If you are going to mount it inside a box (which has to be non-conductive like wood or plastic) then put a few strips of tape with the sticky side out on the form before you wind so you can secure the coil and then remove it from the form.

It appears uncritical. The commercial ones that I've seen photos of are total garbage as far as generating much far field goes so it apparently doesn't take much energy to do whatever.

My brief experience using a loop similar to what I described driven by a function generator is that it did indeed have an effect but not good one as I was getting a little "woozy". I made a small adjustment in the frequency and it cleared right up. Perhaps some "beat" issue? I decided that the next logical move would be to build a remote receiver for the natural signal and try to use it to phase lock the local source to avoid beats.

Haven't bothered yet and it has been years. It appears that once the novelty wears off that most folks just bag the whole thing...
