I can't speak for him but on reading the posts I think he clarified it
at the bottom by stressing the difference between short duration, one
shot high power output as opposed to continuous energy sourcing as in
this quote;

Resonant energy buildup meaning a capacitive like charging, then a quick
dump...all the nickels dumped at one time, but they do have to be
refilled. Energy sourcing as being a constant stream of nickels at
either a certain velocity/potential/voltage (assuming one a time) or
many nickels thrown out at the same time and repeated over and over for
a certain 'current'...<g>....
The most common error in f/e circuits is this very 'error' where these
high voltage/current single pulses simply can't be maintained to sustain
a load...now if they could be produced FAST enough, they would average
out for power, but to date, they haven't to my knowledge as proven by
there not being a working, self-powered, self-sustained o/u device.
