Hi All,
    I found an article wherein the radiated energy from a loop of 1.5
meter radius, that has an 8 microFarad capacitor charged to 60 kV
discharged into it, is calculated.  The frequency is about 67
kiloHertz.  The author claims that, with an initial stored energy of
14.4 kiloJoules and with a discharge current of 45,000 Amperes, the
total radiated energy is 1.12 microJoules.  The calculations were done
on a computer with subroutines from the CERN program library.  This
loss mechanism would seem to be very small for a Tesla coil primary
and secondary if this calculation is correct (at this frequency).  The
article also gives references to several papers by Peter Graneau, P.
T. Pappas, Hatzikonstantinou, and P. G. Moyssides the author.
