I did some more experiments with the series-parallel circuit and put it into a document that is attached.
The document establishes that SPICE simulations cannot predict what is going to happen with resonant circuits.
Now the question is how to use this excess power. I tried make the coil a primary of a transformer, but when I loaded the secondary, the Q of the primary lowered significantly. And by load I mean a rectifier and a buffer capacitor and maybe some LED. So that is not great. What I want to try is to try some bifilar winding so make use of the excess power.
Another idea could be to use it for heating. But heating elements are generating heat from resistance and that directly lowers Q of the resonant circuit, therefore a careful design needs to take place. There will be some balance between R of the heating element and Q of the resonant circuit. Or in another words, the higher R, the lower COP.
Recently I read in a book called Electricity One-Seven by Harry Mileaf that if the ratio between Q and R is 10:1 the R can be neglected in computations. Not sure what that means in reality, but I sure am looking forward to experiments with Q > 1000.
Any further ideas welcome.
