A logical extension of the idea of a series of electrical and magnetic storage components arranged in a circle such that a relatively large amount of energy can be periodically cycled through them is to see if some of the components could be switched to work in two or more loops at the same time. The frequency of energy pulses going through the magnetic storage units (solenoids), for example, might still work at two, three or more times the frequency of energy pulses that the electrical storage units (capacitors) can handle.

With all the components being used at the same frequency and arranged cyclically it would be similar to a one-dimensional system. With switches on magnetic storage units so that they have energy pulses go through them at twice the rate that they are sent through capacitors it would be like a two-dimensional storage system. With a three fold difference in frequencies you would have something like a three-dimensional system.

Then there would be the boundary conditions. Would you have the pulses cycle around a repetitive loop, or could you have energy pulses bounce and reflect at the edges, or could there be other kinds of optimal patterns for sending the energy coursing through these systems. Capacitors can only handle very short durations of large amounts of energy and they might need a significant lax time between pulses. Such a switched configuration might allow a capacitor a rest time of two, three or more times the duration of the energy pulse through the component. Something like this might be needed to make such a system technically viable. How many capacitors could you have optimally switched around a solenoid, and how could you optimise the number of nodes and configuration for such a network? You could think of it as a kind of multidimensional vessel to hold energy in, if it worked. The boundary conditions and patterned paths might be made to mimic varying fractal spaces.

Most people reading this might think that I am writing rubbish, scribbling on scraps or merely musing away. Yep. Something like this might work, or it may not. It might not work now, but it might be feasible some time in the future. These are very broad ideas and being out of the information loop, so to speak, these ideas may have already been considered.
