The influence of the coil is short-range, so the author only takes it into account when the permanent magnet is close to the coil. The magnet certainly induces an EMF in the coil, but if the circuit is well designed, for example in the form of an LC circuit, it will have a high impedance at the pendulum frequency, so the induced current will be negligible and there will be no feedback effect on the permanent magnet. As for the "fine-structures", I do not see what this is about. We cannot say that there is a real parametric effect. When this is the case, a parameter is artificially modified at the right time of oscillation, which introduces in phase energy into the system. Not here. With Doubochinski, we have a non-linearity related only to the functioning of the pendulum: when the amplitude becomes large, the oscillation period is no longer constant, it depends on the amplitude. The pendulum uses this fact to adjust its period with that of the coil signal, by modifying the amplitude. It seems that the quantization effect cannot be obtained when the amplitude is low so that the pendulum period is constant and equal to √(L/g). I put everything I found on the subject here: http://exvacuo.free.fr/div/Sciences/Divers/Douboshinski/I discovered that despite his age, Doubochinski still seems to be active as scientific and technical director of the small French company " Quantix". The company seems credible, it is approved by the Ministry of Advanced Education and Research. It states: "A part of the scientific and technical team has already been set up, in particular with former students and collaborators of Dr Doubochinski". The company is looking for financing. They do R&D and apply the Doubochinski principle to vibratory phenomena, particularly for cooling effects with high efficiency, using pressure waves.
