Graham Gunderson's Energy conference presentation Most impressive and mysterious

And fwiw I was able to find the "first light" testing image of the completed system with its receiver, lighting up an incandescent bulb.

First done by Hertz in 1887, spark gap transmitter, same wire loop receiver.

Nothing new, nice workmanship I might say, no instrumentation though.

TK, your a comedian!.  If he had a schematic, he wouldn't need your help!

I'm glad you think I'm a comedian, but I'm not being funny here, at least not intentionally. Nor am I a mind reader. Slow down and take a deep breath. Of course if he _had_ a complete schematic he would not need my help. But he doesn't, he is trying to draw one from looking at the breadboard.

Anyway, how good are you at TTL? I have one IC on the logic board that I can't identify (yet). Do you have enough experience to know what chip it should be by looking at the connected components? I don't.

He hasn't indicated which chip he can't identify and I can't tell what the connected components are from looking at the photo. Once he has drawn a schematic from the photo showing which chip is unidentified and which are known, plus all components he can identify, I might be able to help.

(One wonders why he doesn't just ask Gunderson what the chip is ...      )

Thanks... but wrong. Do you see a spark gap in my system? And this system is a near-field electromagnetic system that is precisely tuned, not a broadband RF system. Just about the only resemblance to a Hertzian system is the loop, which in my receiver system is actually a loosely coupled transformer secondary that forms part of a high-Q tank circuit.
It's not new, that much is true, but it's not Hertzian. The Hertzian system can generate a little spark in its receiver, that's all. I get constant AC and/or DC power out of mine, depending on the details of the receiver circuit. And it even works under water.

Nah, You, RF generator, solid state. Hertz, RF generator spark gap. You, near field, Hertz, near field.  It's just a nice well engineered modern day demonstration,
using all the solid state goodies of Hertz device with application of later near field theory and resonance.  This is not new!
Besides not working under water(tested by dunking both units as shown in salt water, no orientation of receiver, output smoke, hydrogen and oxygen) I bet it works in space,
glows when held in your hand and will not electrocute you. PLUS it could charge your cell phone and toothbrush.
TK, your better than this, quit mucking with the less informed.  Sorry gang, I'm way off topic and I apologize. 
After the last few days of reading post, I need a bit of levity!  Back to Gunderson.
