In every simulation I have done, once a blocking diode is introduced into a tuned resonant circuit resonance more or less stops. Not only does resonance stop, but the wave forms on both sides of the cell become synchronized in parallel rather than mirrored. Additionally, the peak voltage on the cell goes from as high as 20kV down to about 200V when the blocking diode is in the circuit.
1. I have to wonder:
a) what the blocking diode is really meant to do
b) if the blocking diode is really even necessary
2. In the simulation one of the last things I have tried to make resonance work with the blocking diode is to put a second capacitor in the VIC circuit which connects the chokes to each other on the side away from the cell, and is around quadruple the value of the cell itself. The value of this second capacitor seems to have no effect on the calculated resonant frequency, and allows the cell now to resonate with the blocking diode in place in the normal position. The peak voltage on the cell doesn't come near the peak voltage without the diode, but does about double the peak voltage it would otherwise reach without it.
I'd really like to know if anyone else has tried these scenarios without the blocking diode. It seems to me with all my simulations that the highest voltage only occurs with unrectified AC current at resonance.

You won't get resonance with the Stanley Meyer circuit. It is basically this circuit: http://www.richieburnett.co.uk/dcreschg.html and designed to double the voltage coming out of the transformer. If you look into the tech brief you'll see that he starts with explaining voltage across inductor and capacitor with

Steve: Is it possible to have something like http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1111 in this forum for being able to post formulas?
Also pulsed current, direct current, alternating current? It's all important for power calculations.
