Glenn,
This was something we did back in 1990 and put on our video report tapes
then. We called it free resonance. We ran a coil across the room at
full tilt and tuned a separate, base grounded, 1/4 wave resonator to the
same frequency. We got spark almost a foot long off of the resonator!
We dubbed this "free resonance" and it launched us into magnifier work.
In proximity the coupling is virtually 100% capacitive and large powers
can be transferred this way. We have a number of examples of this on our
tapes.
