Again it is the LC ratio that must be kept for resonance."

I don`t know enough about Art`s antenna to deny it. I do know that
resonance depends on the reciprocal of the sq. rt. of the product of LC,
not its quotient.

Explosive results from an inductor were introduced by Kettering, I
believe, through interruption of battery current through an inductor to
generate a very high voltage spark to ignite the fuel air mixture within
the cylinder of an internal combustion engine for automobiles. Just as I
doubt the inclusion of a pendulum in Art`s antenna, I also doubt the
presence of an interruptor to discharge either the capacitance or
inductance in the resonant antenna.

If Art`s antenna is novel, useful, and not completely obvious from prior
knowlege, he may profit from it. I wish him all the best.

Richard,
You just have to familierise yourself with what ia termed a TANK
circuit
When you do this all becomes clear.Since it is used in transmitters
it may well be included in ARRL publications. On the other hand
"Google"
the circuit. My guess is that it in the older books of Terman where if
you
see a chapter on spark transmitters it will appear in there.
Another good place to look would be Bailey's book with
reference to a flyback transformer. This is a very important area
to hone your antenna skills. Side note. I am not interested in profit.

Art
