Abstract

A system for resonating. In one aspect, the system may include a temperature controlled, vacuum chamber. The chamber may include a primary superconductive coil having first and second ends and wrapped around a first non-conductive cylindrical form, where each of the first and second ends of the primary superconductive coil is coupled to a terminal of a driver, a secondary superconductive coil having first and second ends and wrapped around a second non-conductive cylindrical form, where a first end is coupled to a ground, and a tertiary superconductive coil having first and second ends and wrapped around a third non-conductive cylindrical form, where a first end is connected to a top load and a second end is coupled to the second end of the secondary superconductive coil. In one aspect, the top load is connected to an electrode, at least a portion of the electrode is located outside the chamber, and the first non-conductive cylindrical form at least partially surrounds the second non-conductive cylindrical form.
