OK - I'll bite. 100% is always a bold statement to make about most
anything, including energy transfer... :)
Are you talking about transferring energy from coil #1 to coil #2? Or
are you speaking of storing (and subsequently extracting) energy from a
single coil?
I am not an expert on transmission line theory or even general e-mag
principles. Any clarification on your use of "100%" would be
appreciated!
