Very nice! If we could someone find magnetic material that worked in the THz region we could have an excellent free energy device thus converting ambient energy into THz electricity with a DC component. Of course it's the DC component that's of interest. That would be some material though as the highest frequency cores are in the GHz, correct?

Yes, lol, but it would an interesting display watching 50 MW dissipate across a coil wrapped around such a small core. I'd imagine the UHF pulse alone would knock out half Los Angeles. Considering the heat capacity 470 J/Kg/K it would lower the cores temperature to absolute zero in 360us time _if_ we were to extract 50 MW of power from the 1 cubic inch of material. Although obviously heat capacity is not linear to such extreme temperatures since according to Einstein's equation, E=mc^2, there's enough energy in one cubic inch of such material to supply 50 MW for 7.4 years. Such low temperatures are not realistic for core materials. I agree though, 10 kW is more realistic, and quite frankly I would be ecstatic for an _initial_ 10 watts over input.
