"In conclusion: There is moderate power flow between the power transformer and
the primary capacitor. There is huge peak power flow between the capacitances
and inductances in both tanks. There is large power flow between the primary
tank and the secondary tank.
No mystery."

	Agreed.  However, disagree with all comments here about
"power AMPLIFICATION".  Certainly the peak power flowing from a
capacitor can be greater than the reactive power in the L-C
circuit. but I can't imagine calling the effect amplification.
