You sound might confident that it would not work.  My experience has 
been that Tesla's designs worked almost without exception.

This rectifier design was for use with DC motor driven trams, as I 
recall, and the motors did not require "pure" DC to operate.  I've 
studied the rectifier design, and I expect the output would have been 
predominantly DC with a rather large AC component riding on top.  The 
rectifier would have been virtually impossible to blow, unlike the 
selenium and vacuum tube types back in the early days.

Indeed, I would think that there would be an interest in this group 
for a rectifier that could supply enough power to run multi-kilowatt 
loads and be practically indestructible.  The neodymium magnets we 
have today are far, far superior to those early weak alnico magnets 
and would be perfect for this application.

Any of you DRRSTC people out there interested in a DC power source 
that practically can't be destroyed?  This might be it.

I'd like to see you or someone else on this list build a test unit 
true to the patent example and prove it does not work.  As for me, 
I'm betting my money on Tesla.
