[BEP]

I've failed to find the documentation but the pic looks almost identical to a patent filed for satellite power supplies.

The only things I remember...

1. The copper wire coils had to be completely bare
2. There was no material envelope.
3. It needed a sine-wave high power  RF signal for a kick-start
4. It was used in some early satellites by the US

If I find the documents I'll post them.

Any suggestion as to why "bare" wire is preferable rather than coated?

[BEP]

There was but I only recall it sounding a bit wild. The info about the reaction bare wire had to the radiation sounded more like the effects of heat. The RF modulated the radiation. Modulation of charge was also mentioned. Since then I've stumbled on things worse so I really want to find the info now.

I believe the patent holder was finally a NASA scientist.

I hope you can find the reference BEP, You have me really curious.

I found the value of the fat white capacitor by blowing up the picture on:

The white capacitor is 4.7 mfd !!!
I cannot see the value of the other brown capacitor.

Why would anyone produce a resonant circuit (if that is what it is) with a capacitor of this value connected across an inductor of only about 2 microhenries? From the component values alone this circuit has got to be nonsense.
