This example is for the fastest mode, that results in the design
formulas:
w0^2*L1*C1=33/72=0.458333333333333
w0^2*L2*C2=4/9=0.444444444444444
w0^2*L3*C3=1/4=0.25
K12^2=     15/33=0.454545454545455
L2/L3=     15/18=0.833333333333333
Note that a capacitance (C2) in parallel with the secondary coil is
required. The system oscillates at 3 frequencies, w0, 2w0, and 3w0
rads/s
during the energy transfer process, that takes just one cycle.
