Here is that picture made very small.

Yes that is a  good picture of what I was talking about .

I  have a list of  Tesla patents that is suposed to be complete ........I looked through it twice and didn't  find the  patent  I was thinking of ..

I did  find one  with  similar  configuration .

In  the patent I was thinking  of   where  P is in this patent   there was a  flat pllate of  metal used as a cap

Where  r & d  are  there was a coil

There  were  several  modified  versions .
one  had a  spark  gap   another had a  comutator

I remember  it said that  the   cap  should be  elavated  the higher the better..

Edit   
It  turns out that I can't  get  the picture here at this time
it is patent   # 685 957
I can't seem to select  it  from  PDF
I did a screen shot .......MS Paint  won't accept  it because it is not the right format .
I tried to  upload it to an online image editor I  use  sometimes ........it timed out .

I am going to let it go for a while .

it is patent   # 685 957

thanks for the number

Here try this
http://www.pat2pdf.org/pat2pdf/foo.pl

go there and plug in the number - take out the space first.

it will be a pdf

then bookmark that page - it is great to have it.

@ All:

The picture Jeanna just posted (good job Jeanna) was discussed a million posts ago or so.  I think, and am not sure, but I think that since the photo was part of the larger picture with NS's telephone "system" I think it is safe to say that these unidentified items are not the earth batteries.  I believe they are the electromagnetic coil part of the patent that Joe has pointed out to us several times. (good catch Joe)  What are those things on the top of the rods?  We discussed this as well and I don't think we have any idea.  The only reason for my saying this is because it goes along with what Joe discovered in the patent and, the several photos we have had here on the actual earth batteries.  There are several other photos that have been posted, maybe I can repost some, that show these same unique rods in the earth when NS is in the woods in a picture called "Receiving a message" or something like that.  I am just urging caution that I, along with others, believe this was part of the telephone system and not the power source. (earth batteries)

Hans posted a picture or two of a box of earth batteries which some of us zoomed in on (as best we could) and they did not look anything like these others at all.  Am I sure about this?  Well, I am sure they looked totally different but I can't really say anything for sure.  Just keep an open mind and remember Joe's discovery that there were two totally different devices described in the patent.  The thing I do not understand is that if these were just for the telephone system as electromagnets, why did he need so many of them?  I mean, if he just needed a relay or solenoid, why so many?  I think there were like 5 or so in Jeanna's blow-up shot.

So, what am I really saying here?  I don't really know.

Bill,
Would you mind reposting the results you have on your NS coil?

I would like to see a list of whatever you have from the pot of water and comparable measurements of the same coil once it went into the ground.

I think this will be cery useful at this point, and really what the new folks are asking for.

Thanks,

jeanna

@ Jeanna:

Yes, I will dig up my results from the wet experiments with the two coils but, I have not yet buried any as I too am trying to keep them clean until I can wind secondaries.  So, I have no in the ground experience with the coils.

Do you think I should repost links to my earth battery video series on youtube here for the new folks?  Of course, these were all made with the multiple electrode approach using carbon rods and magnesium blocks.

It might take me a little while to  find my coils results, but I will.  Thanks Jeanna.
