I for one request!
David H. Sloan did a wonderful job reinventing the principal of a
base driven resonator 35 years after Tesla. The coil was wound
out of some standard copper water pipe (it has been awhile since
I read this stuff) and was mounted inside of a fairly large
grounded steel bell jar if memory serves correctly. The tip of
the pipe was rounded and pointed at a grounded metal target. The
steel vacuum vessel had a thin window near the target for the
radiation of X-Rays.
If memory serves he used the machine to cure a cancer in the
mother of one of his college professors. It was leading edge in
many areas. This was also the first coaxial helical resonator.
