Here’s day two of Jeri Ellsworth’s, aka Circuit Girl, video lab journal, Short Circuit. In this one, she discusses frequency multiplication with tank circuits.

That’s very cool and stunningly clearly explained – thank you!
good stuff
Sorry, That’s not frequency multiplication, that’s just filtering out harmonics from a pulse train. The tank circuit acts like a 800 kHz bandpass filter. True frequency multiplication will allow *any* output frequency, not just the LC resonant frequency, and typically requires nonlinearity.
The right way to look at this is in the frequency domain.
