All,

In theory,  We should never be more than 50% efficient in energy transfer 
from one capacitor to another!  i.e. the Cprimary to the Csecondary 
Usually the resonator load capacitance plus Ion cloud loading.  This 
assumes 100% coupling and zero other losses!  If fact, we are much lower 
than that with the finest system in operation.

50% of the capacitively stored energy always disappears in circuit loses 
(resistive and magnetic) even with direct wired connections.  There is a 
lot of additional wasteful garbage going on in between the primary and 
secondary capacitors.
