Foreword,
I searched this forum and found that this patent has been mentioned in more than 14 threads, but none has been developed in his account.
I have read a couple of days ago, an Interview of Tesla in 1916 to a New York Law office regarding his apparatus and patents with a goal at protecting his interests in case of a court. Tesla then was 60 years old.
....
From the first things discussed (with the end of formalities and praise) was this peculiar patent. Using Tesla's own words according to K.L. Corum* and J.F. Corum, Ph.D.** are:
" This is one of most beautiful things ever produced in the way of apparatus: I take a generator of any kind. With the generator I charge a condenser.
Then I discharge the condenser under conditions which result in the production of vibrations. Now, it was known since Lord Kelvin that the
condenser discharge would give this vibration, but I perfected my apparatus to such a degree that it became an instrument utilizable in the arts, in a
much broader way than Lord Kelvin had contemplated as possible. In fact, years afterwards when Lord Kelvin honored me by presenting to the
British Association one of my oscillators of a perfected form, he said that it was "a wonderful development and destined to be of great importance."
..
I personally thought that this type of patent was to step-down currents created by Tesla coils. Instead, the man says he uses a generator of ANY KIND, and this way - as the patent says -transforms the energy.
1) To what i may add?
The interview continues..
"...E] is supposed to be a condenser. That [A] is the generator. Now then, supposing that this is a generator of
steady pressure. I can obtain oscillations of any frequency I desire. I can make them damped or undamped. I can make them of one direction or
alternating in direction as I choose. At G are devices which operate—lamps, or anything else. Some experimenters who have gone after me have
found a difficulty. They said,
"No, we cannot produce a constant train of oscillations."
Well, it is not my fault. I never have had the slightest difficulty. I produced constant oscillations and I have described how I produced them. Anyone
who has no more than my own skill can do it."
Ok, now i am little confused. Tesla talks about oscillations when a condenser is discharged. Naturally we all tend to think, the damped, resonance that is created by the LCR created when the condenser is discharged...
But things tend complicated when Tesla says, that the oscillations could be ONE way or alternating.
2) What kind of oscillation could be one way and what alternating?
....
I have been reading a free energy article by Bruce Perreault regarding his Ion Valve (the kind of articles that the net is full of) http://www.nuenergy.org/pdf/ion_valve_article.pdf . In this article Perreault makes some interesting notes. I quote:
"In one experimental set-up, it was confirmed that when a charged capacitor is discharged through a spark gap that the stored energy is transferred by way of high frequency electrical oscillations. It was found that these oscillations occur directly before the discharge of the capacitor, thus the term, pre-glow discharge. It was found that during the pre-glow discharge plateau, energy is transferred from a primary to a secondary electrical coil. Directly after pre-glow discharge, a surge of current is measured. At the point of current surge is where most of the stored energy in the capacitor is released as wasted heat."
In case this statement is genuine then we have a starking similarity to Tesla's sayings.
...
Spark gaps, spark gaps, spark gaps.... Almost everywhere in the free energy literature of FE devices there is a spark gap. Either for well understood reasons or misunderstood reasons, the spark gap usage is peculiar. So much have been said about those, that is futile to repeat a portion of them.
An interesting thing that Bruce Perreault has said in this article, it is that spark gap geometry and materials used are of GREAT importance. He specify materials to do also.
he also saying that the spark gap must be quenched as more as possible so as the actual current discharge to be at minimum. (he says current is waste)
Tesla in the interview discussed says "Then I discharge the condenser under conditions which result in the production of vibrations"
3) What are the conditions?
