There does seem to be something very strange about this picture as the
"electrodes" i.e. the wire loops appear to be short-circuiting the output
terminals -yet corona is clearly to be seen between the wires.

This is most unlikely unless the frequency of the apparatus were so high
that the inductive reactance of the wire loops was appreciable.
Does anyone have an explanation for this unusual observation?

At first glance It looks to me like the effect of a
bipolar coil of extra high Fr.
Not a sure about terminal-loops connections from the
picture though (blured).
I read "My Inventions" couple of years  ago.I'm going
to borrow it from local library again and view the
photo better.It is VERY interesting Tesla's bio and a
brief summary of his work.
