Free Energy will change the World - Free Energy will stop Climate Change - Free Energy will give us hope
and we will not surrender until free energy will be enabled all over the world, to power planes, cars, ships and trains.
Free energy will help the poor to become independent of needing expensive fuels.
So all in all Free energy will bring far more peace to the world than any other invention has already brought to the world.

I'm hoping that people that have experiences with spark gaps and other means of switching suitable for Tesla-type devices will share there knowledge here:

It is the men of insight and the men of unobstructed vision of every generation who are able to lead us through the quagmire of a in-a-rut thinking. It is the men of imagination who are able to see relationships which escape the casual observer. It remains for the men of intuition to seek answers while others avoid even the question.

Eric Dollard mentions a "multiplicative" effect with spark gaps:

QuoteThe action of the spark gap has a multiplicative effect also.  Consider Steinmetz' analysis: "Continual or cummulative oscillations involve an energy supply to the system.  If the energy supply is less than energy dissipation the OSC damps as a transient with reduced u.  If the supply equals the dissipation the OSC is continuous.  If the supply is greater the OSC is cumulative.
He mentions in another paragraph that he only encountered the "jamming together of electrons" when using spark gaps as the rate of rise of EMF is much greater by the spark method and he adds that strong impulses to not seem possible by "shunt" methods.  Then he goes of into plasma effects and other stuff.  Fascinating actually.
