Diagram query
Hi,
I think that the diode inside the diamond shape is merely intended to indicate that the diamond is a diode bridge and in that case, the capacitor will be connected to the bridge in the standard way, giving the correct polarity.
My understanding of the point about output not affecting input power is that it takes some fixed amount to power the input, say 200 watts, and with some systems any number of outputs can be powered by that fixed input, just as in a radio transmitter feeding thousands of receivers. If, like Tesla, the available power is less than the input, say 100 watts, then having ten tuned pick-up coils the output power could be 1000 watts giving COP=5. Switching off one of those coils will not affect the input power as the transmitter runs without 'knowing' anything about any of the pick-up coils and it is not affected in any way by what they might be doing. So, switching off one pick-up coil drops the output power to 900 watts and doing that affects nothing else. That seems like a very desirable system to me.
