Dear Sir, I am intrested in the wirless power transmmsion concept of Nikola Tesla, Earth batteries and Electrostatic generators. If we analyse his Patent, number 645.576: System of Transmission of Electrical Energy, you may also check it here please : http://www.keelynet.com/tesla/00645576.pdf . We can see many differences with today’s radio techniques. Tesla believed that radio was conduction, not radiation, his radio was grounded rather than aerial. Rather than a radiating antenna, he employed an aerial capacity. According the scientist the earth (ground) is the positive plate of a capacitor where the ionosphere the positive layer builds. So, there are negative charges which are ions and electrons in the ground, they are free. Tesla may used these “free charges” in his wireless power transmission. If so, can we assume the ground as a kind of “cold plasma” which contains ions ? Can the ground be assumed as a “charge pool” ? Why ? Of course, the same principle should be also valid for the cold iosnosphere plasma. 2- Nikola Tesla used a flat spiral coil in his secondary circuit, this coil is activated by the primary coil. The primary circuit is represented in the drawing by the generator symbol. The first circuit is working according the rules of electrodynamics, a potential difference creates an electron flow in the primary coil, the magnetic field induced by the electrons in the primary coil, activates (oscillate) the free charges between the aearial capacity and ground (Secondary circuit). Is that possible, while the secondary circuit which is grounded seems to be an electrostatic system, while the free charges which are not bound of the ground plasma are flowing at the surface of the coil, which seems not to be electrodynamic in its nature ? Did Nikola Tesla use the principles of Electrostatic induction during his signal transmission ? Many thanks, Sharon
