I think it depends on the over all reactance.
Some people think DS was somehow canceling the reactance in the tank with a precision resistor.. How this works i dont know.
The greatest mistake that many make is to look at these circuits as only electromagnetic circuits, and totally ignore their longitudinal aspects and all that occurs before the electrons start to flow. When you first complete the circuit (during the rise of the impulse) the universe around the coil goes through "adjustments" (some say the entire universe reacts, but I find that hard to believe) because you changed everything with your impulse. There is already a sense of order to this local universe because fo the presence of the conductors, insulators and everything else. So, everything is already connected in some way. Any change in mass or energy produces some form of radiation as the universe responds to the change. In our case, this "radiation" is RE. Do a little reading and you will find that changes in mass/energy are propagated longitudinally. It is the excited coil that produces the RE effect. More mass = greater effect. If you try to excite the coil open-ended (not term in a cap or grounded) you can not polarize the conductor correctly to get the sudden change in mass/energy. I don't think you can excite the vacuum into producing it or a dielectric. There are three schools of thought currently debated in the public sector regarding how this works: From: "The Connection Between Inertial Forces and the Vector Potential" By: Alexandre A. Martins1 and Mario J. Pinheiro2 INTRODUCTION There have been numerous attempts to explain the origin of the inertia property of matter suggested qualitatively by Galileo in his writings and later quantified by Newton (Jammer, 1961), although its conceptualization still remains as an unclear resistance of mass to changes of its state of motion. Since the works of Kirchhoff, Mach, Hertz, Clifford and Poincaré a set of logical objections were raised against Newton's laws mainly based on the significance of mass and force (Eisenbud, 1958). Driven by a strong need to develop advanced space propulsion physics there are studies that try to link inertia with gravitational interactions with the rest of the universe (Mach, 1989; Bridgman, 1961; Sciama, 1953), while others hypothesize that inertial forces result from an interaction of matter with electromagnetic fluctuations of the zero point field (Sakharov, 1968; Puthoff, 1989; Haisch and Rueda, 1998) and, finally, others that attribute inertia as the result of the particle interaction with its own field (Lorentz, 1992; Abraham, 1902; Richardson, 1916; see also Ray (2004) for a general survey). Now you can kind of see how mechanical vibration might also cause some interesting effects: Keely, Leedskalnin, Tesla's Mechanical Oscillator, etc.
