Concerning my replication of "John's Non-Inductive Coil Experiment", i reached the goal of having the sawtooth waveform in the L3 circuit.
But does this mean i have reached "above unity" without any decent measurements?
Not in my book, so i have maintained this L3 sawtooth waveform while powering a 12V/5W bulb in L2 and made some input versus output measurements.
Below screenshot 1 shows the voltage (purple), current (green) and power (red) signals across this 12V/5W bulb in L2 (the load), so we have 5W output there.
And no, this 5W is NOT also available in the L3 circuit as we have no load there.
Screenshot 2 shows the voltage (purple), current (green) and power (red) signals into L1 BEFORE the filter circuit, so very close to what the PS delivers, so we have 7.3W input there.
Screenshot 3 shows the voltage (purple), current (green) and power (red) signals into L1 AFTER the filter circuit, so the real signals into L1, so we have also 7.5W input there, but less accurate due to the nasty spikes reaching 450V.
A video of my measurements is here:

Changing the frequency, duty cycle, input voltage, etc. does not show any significant changes up till now.
