Hi Jerry!
I was thinking of this once before, and I had thought that it might
work more efficiently to not actually connect the magnets to the tines
of the tuning forks, but put that as close as possible without touching
them. I thought that not having the magnets connected would reduce the
chance of throwing the frequency of the tuning fork off. And I think it
might be interesting to take a small amount of the current from the
receptor coil, feed it through a large-ratio step-up transformer and
dump it through a small transducer set up to keep the tuning form
running. I suppose it could be possible.
