I plan to make a working full-power model in the next months. The real
advantage that I see in that configuration is that very fast energy
transfer is possible. That system puts all the energy of the primary
capacitor in the capacitance of the terminal and in the self-capacitance
of the third coil in just one oscillation cycle in the fastest mode.
