Re: Tesla Coil RF Transmitter: Tesla DIDN'T use 10s of KHz

"In any tank circuit, the reactive power between inductor and capacitor
is far higher than the real power driving the tank circuit's losses."

	Only if the circuit Q is very high.  One definition of Q is "the ratio
of energy stored to energy dissipated per cycle".  If the Q of the
Schumann resonances is less than 10, as measurements show, then to keep
12,500,000 MEGAWATTS stored the input would need to be 1,250,000
megawatts, not "a few horsepower".  If the Q were a million, which it's
not, then the input would still need to be 12.5 megawatts, which is
about 16,762.78 horsepower.
