Tesla's Wireless Power Transmission

[danbos]

Can someone who is familiar with Tesla's wireless transmission of
power explain how this was to be achieved? I have a lot of info but I
can't get a coherent picture.

Magnifying Transmitter (TMT): Would this apparatus transmit power
through the air or through the ground? or both? What is its purpose?
Is it the main power source in the scheme?

Earth / Ionosphere (EI) : Would the TMT charge or discharge the EI? If
so, how could this be done so that there is a buildup of voltage that
can be transmitted?

Resonance: A lot of what I read proposes putting the EI into resonance
and harnessing the power from this. How would this be done? I have
some basic knowledge of RLC circuits but don't see the connection
between resonance in a RLC circuit and the ability to buildup
tremendous voltages / currents.

Receiver: Somehow this transmitted power has to be converted to a
useable form. Another RLC circuit to do this?

Tesla was a genius. Like Barbara Streisand. About some things. Some
times. Not about everything, always.

Tesla's wireless power transmission scheme was clearly intended to be
a way to avoid stringing power cables from poles or underground. It
didn't work. Resonance is "real", but the *word* is not a description
of a practical way to move large amounts of energy from one place to
another. It is, obviously, a way to move information from one place
to another ("radio"). That is where Tesla's experiments eventually
came to practical fruition. Please don't waste a lot of your valuable
time trying to understand the hyperbolic speculative ignorance about
Tesla you've probably found easily found on the internet. It insults
Tesla's real achievements.

Tesla was a charlatan at best, and a con man at worst, but certainly
never a genius. At the time however that worked out for him. He
didn't so much as discover the transformer which I consider to be his
highest glory as he stumbled across it, but someone would have anyway
and no genius required for that either. Ditto for the electric motor
and outside of those two - he did nothing of any real account after
the fact. Now that last tidbit speaks volumes as to his true capacity
which was barely enough to recognize that he had something of value at
the two times he stumbled upon them, and that's no where near genius,
sorry.

I find Tesla own writings to be just as convoluted as any aggrandizing
Tesla article found anywhere. I wouldn't waste my time reading
either, I've done enough of that already to know that there is no
useful knowledge to be found doing so. His true achievements were
pretty simple, plain, and useful, a point even he doesn't seem to have
a proper clue about - and thus I contend he was a con man back when a
career in the new field of electric fluids paid pretty good, IF you
didn't have to pack a big suitcase and your hotel room was on the
second floor where you could survive a jump out the widow when and if
required.

danbos, when Tesla himself can't explain his single phase electric
motor properly and be right about it, it's time to buy a clue. Hint:
there are NO rotating fields in a single phase electric motor, yet he
writes that there are. He is such a genius, the man doesn't even know
his own invention...

You must be an Edison fan ;-)
