Nikola Tesla U.S. Patent 1,119,732 - Apparatus for Transmitting Electrical Energy Patent Wrapper Page 80

776 Per G Sub & 34. In apparatus for the transmission of electrical energy through the natural media, a resonating circuit connected to ground and to an elevated terminal, and having its outer boundaries arranged in a manner to prevent, on any of them, an urdue accumulation of the free charge, as specified above. 20. 35. A resonating circuit of high potential, a portion of which comprises a coiled conductor the turns of which are sufficiently close to minimize the effect of its small radius of curvature in the distribution of the free charge, whereby leakage is prevented, as set forth. 36. A résonuting circuit of high potential, a portion of Wich comprises a conductor arranged in space so as to minimize the effect of its small radius of curvature in the distribution of the free charge, as set forth. 37. In à circuit of high tension, a conductor having its outer boundaries arranged to cause a sensibly uniform distribution of the charge thereon and thereby permit the 20cumulation of a great quantity of electricity, as set forth. 38. In apparatus of high tension, means for preventing leakage of electricity, comprising one or more conductors, the outer surface-elements of which are arranged in space to prevent an undue accumulation of the free charge on any of them, as set forth. 39. In apparatus for the production of great electromotive forces, an inductance coil or conductor supported-on a place of relatively low potential and having its outer boundaries arranged in a manner to prevent, on any of them, an undue accumulation of the charge, as set forth. 40 In apparatus for the production of high tensions, a self-inductor joined in series with an energizing circuit and having its outer boundaries arranged in a manner to prevent, on any of them, an excessive rise of the electrical surface density, as set forth. 371-78 82 (13)
