Yes, this thing works! The faster energy transfer reduces the
influence of losses.
If you want to try an optimal design, I am making available a design
program for these circuits at:
http://www.coe.ufrj.br/~acmq/programs/mreshp.zip
To obtain the 6th-order low-pass-high-pass directly coupled network,
specify 3 resonances, and a low-pass input section. Choose the mode
based on reasonable output capacitances.
Note that the program also makes designs for initial energy in the
first inductor (generalized induction coils).
No manual or waveform plots for awhile.
