So what we have here is yet another perpetual motion machine and a noise maker on 160m. Nice. This one had me scratching my head for a while with the ubiquitous “How’d they figure that?” question floating around my brain. Tesla was a genius but I don’t think physics will allow this to work at any viable level of efficiency except as how Kermit states in regards to the ease of fleecing investors- IMHO.

Hello All -
As noted on odv last week by John Stratton and Chris Imlay, the FCC has accepted an STA for a grant to Texzon to operate a surplus 50kw Nautel AM broadcast transmitter on 1710-1900 kHz to demonstrate the use of "Zenneck" waves to facilitate the possibility of power transmission world-wide without wires ala Nickolas Tesla. The STA states an ERP of 100 watts of emission with 10 Hz bandwidth with a proprietary "probe" antenna that will excite only Zenneck waves with no Norton ground waves.
The outrageous claims by Texzon should start paying large dividends now that they have their STA application for their demonstration of Zenneck waves. Late last year a un-related pair of physicist claimed that they could observe the long-fabled Zenneck waves in dielectric slabs at 625nm (laser), the electric fields would be indistinguishable from normal waveguide modes in their laboratory set-up without significant mathematical dexiterity in the analysis. Despite the conventional understanding of electromagnetic theory Texzon claims a "new paradigm in physics" to transmit power anywhere in the world without wires - I think the real power will be to separate gullible investors from their hard-earned cash... more on that can be found here; https://strategictechinvestor.com/acq/nano-electricity/american-power-lines-...
In the mean-time it looks as if the STA will operate around and in 160 meters with essentially CW at 100 w ERP.
