The resistance of the coil windings is fixed and never changes, therefore the current going through it has to remain constant. current = voltage divided by resistance. (I=E/R).
So how does changing the air gap of a passive part in the game cause more current to flow thru the coil, whether it is a thousandth of an inch or a thousand miles. I'm probably wrong but I need it explained to me.
My money is on the windings shorting out, thereby lowering the coil resistance, thus sucking more current and heating the fuse and wire.

I agree with this completely. I was wondering the same thing.
