Nikola Tesla U.S. Patent 685,953 - Method of Intensifying and Utilizing Effects Transmitted Through Natural Media Patent Wrapper Page 57

344 J Sub. Sub Spec. which cansists in charging a condenser with energy derived fr such effects or disturbancas and using, for periods. of the predetermined as to succession and duration, the accumulated potential energy so obtained to operate a receiving device. 3. The method hereinbefore described of intensifying and utilizing electrical disturbances or effects, transmitted through the naturalia to a distant receiving station, which consists in charging a condenser for succeeding and predetermined periods of time, with energy de-Exratizar rived from such effects or disturbances, and using, for periods of time predetermined as to succession and duration, the accumulated energy so obtained to operate a receiving device. 4. The method hereinbefore described of producing arbitrarily varied or intermitted electrical disturbances or effects, transmitting such disturbances or effects through the natural media to a distant receiving station, storing in a condenser energy derived from a succession of such disturbances or effects for periods of time which correspond in succession to such effects or disturbances and are predetermined as to duration, and using the accumulated potential energy so obtained to operate a receiving device. 5. The method herein described of producing arbitrarily varied or intermitted electrical disturbances o!" effects, transitting such disturbances or affects through the natural media to a distant receiving station, establishing thereby a flow of electrical energy in a circuit -15
