Undoubtedly a long way from reality, although "acceptable" performance
appears to be possible without further breakthroughs.

While more research is called for, I think it's closer to practicality
than you suggest -- note that air exhibited the modeled high-Q
"acceptable" behavior.

In any event, it's promising and exciting! Note that calculations of
conducting loops performance show essentially no energy dissipated
inside the human.

p.s. I'm reminded of how physicists at the end of the 19th century
thought they knew everything, that nothing remained to be discovered.
LOL!
