Auto-Inductive Rectenna via Scroll Waves

[Kalki]

from Mr. Volland in Eds Capacitor thread, it explains. in part,  what I'm intending to do with the scroll electret and discharge tube:

Thank you for your research.  The HF generator effect of Moray's Sparking Condencer which you have found correlates to the report that Ed Gray referred to his Tube as an "inverter".  The high frequency generation involves the capacitive cylinders being in a tank circuit with the connective loops forming the inductances.  This effect is detailed in Farnsworth's patent #2,189,358 for his high frequency Diode Oscillator.  An examination of Gray's circuit shows that a potential exists on the grids, relative to the central rod, due to the connection - through the battery and motor - of the capacitor negative with the grids, with differing distances from the center resulting in different relative potentials on each grid.  Since the RF vibration of the gas in the tube produces impact ionization, the momentary 12 Volt displacement current through the cap results in the static charge build up he referred to as 'overshoot voltage'.  As he asys in the patent, the Tube is a "switching element", allowing the 12 Volt current to flow when the circuit is closed, with the pre-existing ionizing potential making the Tube conductive.  As a result of this static charge, his system cap is totally recharged in an instant, rather than with the series of impulses first used from the transformer.  This indicates his Tube has a capacitance at least as high as the system capacitor.
