"You sound might confident that it would not work.  My experience has

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.

 You build one and try it and then report the results!  Good
luck.......................

   I concur with your suggestion. About a half a dozen times in the 
past year persons taking
a "minority viewpoint" have recommended that others invest the time 
and money to prove
them wrong, rather than going to the effort and expense of 
substantiating their own claims.
As to the assertion of Tesla's near infallibility, A number of his 
patents were for devices
that were too expensive, too inefficient, or technologically 
impossible, even a hundred
years later. There is a precedence from "the top" for this position: 
Tesla filed many patents
with the implied attitude, "I'm so sure I'm right, I'll leave it to 
someone else to actually build
my device and prove me wrong."

   At least in the world of science and engineering the burden of 
proof is on the person who proposes innovative devices, not on those 
who question their feasibility or merit.
