Keith,
 I agree with your comments on antenna core materials.
The only thing I would change is the mu range
for antenna cores. RF materials are available from
a low of 15 to a high of under 1000. BaFe is a hard material
that has never to my knowledge been used in antenna cores.
I have found BaFe to generally have hugher mu 
than SrFe but always under 3.

Jones,
I did see vid#7 but I was not sure how to intrepret
what was shown. A ground or touching a finger to the
input is required to light the LEDs?  Nothing else?
I have some white super bright LEDs which I will
try if I can find them but I agree with Ron that the
magic will be found in the cores and not in the LEDs.
Vid#7 certainly suggests that the system is overunity,
but it does not change the observation that the
circuit is a resonant voltage multiplier. What mu>1
means is that there is more energy present in
the magnetic field inside the core than the applied
excitation energy. The reason magnetic cores are not
normally overunity is that the mu multiplier
is normally applicable in reverse as the energy is removed.
