Re: sphere within a sphere

Hi All,
I don't immediately see how it makes an improvement, but it brings up some 
interesting questions. As I understand it, the two spheres are insulated 
from each other, so that he has created a spherical capacitor with the 
inner plate connected to the top of the TC. The outer sphere presents a 
larger C(top) w/r to ground than the small one, but the two spheres are a 
capacitor in series with C(top), which reduces net C(top)? (net change in 
resonance??). What is the potential/polarity of outer sphere w/r to inner 
one? w/r to ground?? These are going to require a lot more coffee (and 
aspirin) for a Sunday morning than I have available right now. Any gurus of 
simulation want to play with this?

I'll believe it when I see it. Seems like the outer sphere would shield the
inner and wouldn't make any difference, in tuning or output. Maybe if he
doubles input power (which wasn't mentioned in the listing).
