@Milehigh My personal interpretation of this is that this is a bold-faced lie made by Tesla. It all makes sense. That is one interpretation, if memory serves me correct Tesla started experimenting with mechanical oscillators in a hard vacuum which would obviously vibrate for extended periods of time. Next he experimented with extending the period of electrical oscillations which of course led to patent 685012," Means For Increasing The Intensity Of Electrical Oscillations", a product of Carl Von Linde's work with the condensing of air and a means to produce cheap oxygen for industry. To my knowledge this is the first patent in history which relates directly to super-conduction and Tesla states that this is in fact his goal-- to decrease all resistance to zero. The next year Tesla applies for another patent 685958, "Method Of Utilizing of Radiant Energy", now we have two patents 685012 in 1900 and 685958 in 1901. One patent seeks to reduce all resistance to zero, super-conduction, and the other to utilize "radiant energy" to power an electrical device from an external source. Now let's do some math here, I have one (1) superconducting circuit and I have one (1) circuit which utilizes an external radiant energy source, and when I add one to the other I would get a superconducting circuit having almost no resistance powered by a radiant energy source which I'm going to go out on a limb and say probably wouldn't be stopping any time soon. As well it also sounds a hell of a lot like science to me, look at the time line, Tesla was moving in one direction and only one. He wanted to reduce all resistance and harness a clean,free external energy source which could produce usable amounts of energy. Even in this modern day and age we are still striving to do the exact same thing, superconducting transmission lines and renewable energy are at the top of our wish list and Tesla knew this in 1900, he stated this was what was needed. Spark gaps and "disruptive discharges" might be fun to play with, but in a general sense they are not used at all in the day-to-day running of our society. Maybe you better just hit the old folks home early because your not making any sense, spark gaps ie.. ESD and plasma research are cutting edge technologies in every science journal, electrostatics/nanotechnology are cutting edge technology in every science journal, disruptive discharges, transient effects, and fast transient discharges up into the terrahertz spectrum are cutting edge technologies in every science journal---period. You see the problem here is that your area expertise is the past, it has no future and it is not sustainable and our younger generation understands this much better than we do. Here is one example of what we are up against milehigh, tonight my family and I are sitting in the hot tub and my 10 year old daughter says "what are the three states of matter" to my eight year old son because my kids are always talking about science, go figure. He quickly says "solid, liquid and gas" and my daughter says "Ha -- wrong solid, liquid, gas and plasma the text book and my teacher were wrong because I researched it". I also personally know of two teenagers under sixteen who built a GEET and had proven, that is proven, that the efficiency is higher than the best automobile engines available as their science project. Imagine that, a couple of teenagers getting better efficiency from an internal combustion engine than the best engineers in the automobile industry--exactly how does that work?. You see only so many people can believe the BS for so long before they finally clue in and I am afraid most of our younger generation as well as myself just ain't buying your story anymore because it has no future.
