Then I had a discussion with Byron Brubaker, who calls himself **broken link removed** on YouTube, in which he brought up how Tesla magnified power by the use of the analogy of a child on a swing which invokes Q factor (which he had to explain to me by way of an excerpt from
Radio Amateur Handbook 1976) and resonance. He's not a believer in 'free energy' nor of 'overunity' which I can respect since I know, now, better that these catch all phrases belie an ignorance of something spooky that defies a broader, or more accurate, viewpoint until such time as we know better how to explain a seemingly anomalous occurrence.

Our discussion included time, since if an amount of energy is bled off from an oscillation at a rate less than it is accumulating due to a high Q exhibiting resonance and a standing wave, then it can erroneously appear to be 'free energy' when in fact all it's doing is accumulating voltage at a rate faster than what ever the load is dissipating. So, it's not enough to say that: "energy IN has to equal energy OUT" since "rate of energy transfer IN vs rate of energy transfer OUT" is also important. This says the same thing but is vastly more accurate and to the point.
Time is a very important consideration. It's equivalent to saying how big a garden hose is filling a bucket at what rate of flow versus how many and how small are the holes in that bucket leaking out the water? This, unfortunately, bypasses paying strict attention to the voltage source, alone, to also include considering the layering effect of standing waves provided with new influxes of power at just the right moment to accumulate over time. Which is a lot better than a mere
voltage multiplier circuit which merely multiplies up to a limit without accumulating beyond any fixed limit.
