But as it says in the patent and as is logical, it depends on the inductance and the capacitance of the particular series connected bifilar wound coil as to the frequency of excitement that will cause the resonance (which is true for all coils), no matter what the application, if the frequency of excitement is compatible with the inductance and capacitance of the SB coil so that resonance is produced in the coil, or the coil is excited at the frequency of resonance, then the difference will be there.

Seems to be an insinuation that some people think a HF coil will show the benefit when excited by low frequency. A higher frequency coil requires high frequency excitement and a lower frequency coil only requires lower frequency excitement as is well known by most, to get resonance we need to excite the coil with the correct frequency. Of course.

  I can understand how by use of resonance we can store energy.  Not unlike a battery or a catapault of a flywheel-etc.  The part I don't get about Tesla and his magnifying transmitter is his claim that the natural medium offered no resistance to really high potentials at high frequency.   What he may have been doing is creating plasma emanating out from his terminal in the air.   This would greatly increase the mass in play.  The plasma would electrically extend the terminal.   I don't see him creating a plasma construct from radiator to receiver without encountering huge amounts of difficulty.  But he could make one big ass sky conductor.  By excluding any sharp edges or defects his sky terminal would not create the lightning bolts he is famous for.  In fact the guys who have those sharp little pipes hanging out of a Tesla transformer are using Tesla's safety circuit.  I have created a weird plasma thing before.  It isn't bright white crackling zig zag lightning looking stuff.  It is  more like a flame.  I used an iron coil (by chance) mid-tapped with the anode of an old tv set attached to the middle.  It created ion wind at least a foot away.  The flames were coming out of both ends of the iron wire and bowing towards each other along a smooth circumference.  I imagine if I put information riding the hv flyback somehow the flames would have danced.  I gotta repeat this experiment again.  I've had this old microwave oven sitting around just too busy to get past the one way screws built for guys like me.  If tesla did make a huge antennae made out of plasma instead of conventional metals,  any wave activity in the plasma would act just like wave activity in an antennae mast.  I haven't seen any broadcast antennae's 2 or 3 miles high with a 20 mile radius at the top.  I really don't know what the fuck he was up to in NJ but I believe a metal object like an airplane flying over that tower would have let go a couple of electrons and look like a ship lit up with St. Elmo's fire right before the crackler blows the mast to shit.

I think Tesla wanted to rather supress plasma    Wasn't that the famous spikes whcih killed DC generator operators ?

Definitely within the transmitter core.  Arcing between turns would have resulted in eddy currents (lightning currents) and destruction of any dielectric used to insulate the secondaries.  You can have a dark plasma.  Most metals that we consider conductors are room temperature partially ionized plasma.  My logic path is that he needed a big tall antennae and that it would be impossible to construct such an antennae so he ionized the air.  The only other thing I can think of was that he was trying to use the intervening dielectric  (atmospheric gasses) for the dielectric and excite the receivers like we excite secondaries when we couple an ac circuit to another circuit  via a condensor sandwiched between the two circuits.   His terminal= capacitor plate a- the air=dielectric, the receiver terminal=capacitor plate b..  This I can see happening but he constantly referred to rendering the ambient medium conductive.  Maybe he considered current as the information conveyed between two points in space charged to different degrees or electrically polarized. There is some information being conducted between a charged cloud and Earth.  A highly charged negative cloud can make the Earth below it positively charged relative to those parts of the Earth not directly below the cloud.  It appears that the negative charge information of the cloud is conducted through space and moves electrons in the Earth without any electrons actually moving from cloud to ground.   Then again we have electrolytic capacitors too which rely on ionized stuff which you would find in a plasma.  This is why I am confused.  Was he using electrostatics or electrodynamics?

hey @sparks,did you get my pm reply about infrared.what do u think?
