Hi Fred,
I used to enjoy monitoring your posts in the "old" Tesla group. Do you have
any idea what happened to it? All that aside, the above was a response to
my first post regarding an invention to conserve energy in fluorescent
lighting systems using a miniature Telsa coil. The method I employed
produced no harmonics and I was able to operate a radio in close proximity
to the device with no interference.
