He wasn't gonna transmit power in the way most coilers think, He wanted to
use the globe and ionosphere as two parts of a spherical capacitor, pumping
electrical energy into both, and setting up resonance with the schumann
cavity. It's one of the main reasons why many radio engineers and many
coilers think his dreams of transmitting power was impossible, they continue
to think of the Tesla coil as a air core resonant radio antenna, which it
technically wasn't designed for in the end, Tesla designed it as a
electromagnetic pump, when coupled with the conductive ionosphere and
conductive earth, the standard far field laws don't apply since the antenna
(ionosphere) now completely surrounds all the receiving devices, everyone
and everything would practically be inside a waveguide connected to Tesla's
large coil. A experiment I thought to test on a small scale his design was
to get a metal disk of extremely large diameter, (a few hundred feet or more
in a large field, connect the top of the coil to this and the ground to of
course ground, now you'll notice the tubes will light brightly wherever you
are standing under the large metal disk. Expand the disk and you'll be able
to draw power from further and further distances. Just now expand this
design out a few thousand fold and use the ionosphere as the metal disk and
you'll see what Tesla was talking about. Of course if you have your
receiving device tuned to the same frequeny of the coil setup, you'll get
alot more power than just lighting the tube up.
