Nikola Tesla Patents
98 рите 8-96 To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, Nikola Tesla, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county and Sta te of New York, have invented certain new and useful improvements in appara tus for the production of electric currents of high frequency and potential, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to 12 the drawings accompanying and forming a part of the same. The invention which forms the subject of my present application is embodied in an improvement on an electrical apparatus invented by me a rd described in prior letters patent, notably in U. S.) pat ents No. 462,418, da ted November 3, 1891, and No. 454,622, dated June 23, 1891. This appara tus was devised for the purpo se of converting and supplying e lectrical energy in a form suited for the production of certain novel electrical phenomena which require currents of higher frequency and potential than can readily, or even possibly, be developed by generators of the ordinary types or by such mechanical appliances as were therefofore known. The apparatus as a whole involves means for utilizing the intermittent or oscillating discharge of the accumulated electrical energy of a condenser or a circuit possessing capacity, in what may designated be designed the working circuit, or that which contains d the translating de vices or those which are operated by 4 such currents. & The object of my present improvements is to provide a simple, compact and effective apparatus for producing these effects, but adapted more particularly for direct -1
