Since this forum seems to be about energy, let me attempt to enlighten your readers as to how high voltage pulses led Tesla to the discovery of a free source of power. This information may seem bizarre, but I assure you can research everything I am about to write for yourself.
People have a misconception about the forces acting upon the surface of the Earth. We know there is a magnetic field, in the North/South direction and we know the Earth rotates physically around an axis in the East/West direction, but we describe the force in the vertical direction Up/Down as gravity. Let me explain why this conception of gravity is a misconception.
On the Earth, in the vertical direction from the surface of the Earth into Space, exists a High Voltage Electrostatic field. In fact this field is so strong, there is a voltage potential of over 300 Volts between your head and your feet, when your standing on the ground. Between say the ground and the International Space Station, the voltage is over 40 million volts! You can research this by searching, "Atmospheric Electricity", "Hans Alfven", "Schumann" or even the "NASA Tethered Satellite experiment". This is a fact, the electrostatic forces are much greater than the gravitational forces in the vertical direction.
So everyone always asks, "If there is 300 Volts across my body, why do I not feel a shock or die from a shock?" Well the answer to this ties in with everything I have discussed to this point. The reason you do not get shocked, it there is no current flow to shock you. Air, vacuum etc etc acts like an insulator and effectively limits the current flow. Nevertheless, the electrostatic voltage still exists. We need a tall conducting tower, with a large metal sphere or plate at the top, to accurately measure this voltage( which Tesla seems quite familiar with ).
So in a nutshell, Tesla's discovery of an ability to transmit power using electrostatic high voltage pulses generated by artificial means, led him to the discovery of this "natural" source of electrostatic high voltage pulses. If you fully grasp the implications of this, you will begin to realize the true genius of Tesla's wireless system. Realize this has nothing to do with alternating electromagnetic field produced by alternating current, like radio, although the apparatus looks similar.
This is a incredible brief explanation( scratching the surface as it were ) but should allow someone to make the connection and points in the right direction.
