Nikola Tesla U.S. Patent 685,954 - Method of Utilizing Effects Transmitted through Natural Media Patent Wrapper Page 29

432 Janelled per D. 13: The method hereinbefore described of utilizing electrical effects or disturbances transmitted through the natural medie from a distant source, which consists in effecting by means of such disturbances or effects a storage in a condenser of electrical energy derived from an independent source for periods of time corresponding in succession and duration to such disturbances or effects, and discharging the electrical energy so accumulated into or through a receiving device at predetermined intervals of time. // Cancelled pers. per D. 13 device of electrical energy derived from an independent source for periods of time corresponding in succession and duration to such disturbances or effects, and discharging the electrical energy so accumulated into or through a receiving device at predetermined intervals of time. 14: The method hereinbefore described of utilizing electrical effects or disturbances transmitted through the natural medie from a distant source, which consists in producing, by means of such effects or disturbances, variations of resistance in a circuit including independent electrical source and a device adapted to be ete with electrical energy therefrom, thereby causing the storage device to be charged with energy from such independent source, and using the potential electrical energy so accumulated to operate a receiving device. 15: The method hereinbefore described of utilizing effects or disturbances transmitted through the natural media from a distant source, which consists in producing, by means 11 of such effects or disturbances, variations of resistance in a circuit including an independent electrical source and a condenser, thereby causing the condenser to be charged with energy from the independent source, and using the potential 22
