A la the Correa patent?
Dunno. Maybe a similar principle insofar as the NR part goes, but IMHO you must have a *series circuit* of many of these thing going, and tuned to the particular inductor, and not a single unit.
Why? Quien sabe? You have read the Pavel Imris patent, no? Getting all of the interlocking parameters correct is as much art as science, and it requires a tinkerer with wide experience (and lots of parts) who can try dozens of different combinations and variations on the theme, per day (or per hour). And did I mention lots of patience and determination, against unwarranted criticism?
Too bad for the Correas that they did not did not take the path (strategy) of encouraging a massive level of open experimentation by others, but instead remained secretive and committed to "super sizing" their device. They may have seen glimpses of the same effect but should have read the Imris patent and delved into limited open-sourcing.
I agree that this has not been fully "open sourced" as Sterling Allan would have defined that term, but nevertheless, getting a wide variety of different experimenters in on the act, on four continents, is what has taken this over the top so very quickly. Perhaps there is a "controlled level" of open sourcing which is preferable to letting any and all nut-cases into the party...
