Did Tesla OBSERVE "radiant" aka "free" energy?

Regarding the Magnifying Transmitter: I've watched an interesting presentation (unfortunately German language only) here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eB_HsLke4Vo which explains quite well why the transmitted power was magnified. He also explains that when radio stations started to filter out the "noise", which in fact were scalar/longitudinal waves, the "free energy" was gone. And since then many "free energy inventions" didn't work anymore (e.g. Roy Meyers etc.)
The scalar waves seemed to gain energy by sending it through the atmosphere and thereby it provided more output than input if you collected it with an antenna.

So yeah, I don't know, but maybe Tesla found a way to get this magnified energy also without sending it through the atmosphere. I don't know, guess I must watch the video again...

Some good discussion here on Tesla's box for the Pierce Arrow car:

I'm attaching the first page from Patrick Kelly's Free Energy book from chapter 11 (it's an older version so might not be in the same chapter now) where he discusses a device that Tesla built but never patented which was supposed to be a device to get free energy from the air.  I've seen it discussed more lately and it seems somewhat related the William Lyne's device.   A search in Patrick Kelly's book will yield all the info on this device.  His book here:   http://www.free-energy-info.co.uk/

That chapter 11 gaget must be new Ive never seen that one.You might be able to include the wroking princible of Tesla's pat # 413353 instead of using an electro magnet. Combine that yet again with a PMH to hold the magnetic feild once charged and make it varible with load demand. Maybe the little black box with the three rods was using some of these things and the rods were perminent magnets.The count of three would make it 3 phase then like a modern alternator difference being both sides of wave are turned into forward voltage instead of dead clipping off have the cycle like they do with solid state components.
You also have to look at the idea Tesla had with regard to tube that has a hole in it.once evacuated by converting the contense the surounding tries to fill in the tube. Conversion makes the void.The battery is your entire universe.

I've seen this principle shown in another pdf once, which was writing about Ed Grey Tube, the Testatika and Tesla. It also showed a  spark gap and 2 permanent magnets coming afterwards, so that "the ionised air" was "rectified" or something like that. Tesla said that the energy gained is much more than needed to produce it.

The sketch in the PDF from free-energy-info is much better though. Now the question is who wants to try it out and can try it out. It doesn't sound that complicated, that's why I wonder no one has tried it out. I recall that in the former PDF a voltage of 20.000 Volt was used, with an amperage of about 20 milliAmpere (yes that low...), produced by an Oscillator. This would then cause a permanent lightning arc on the ball electrodes, which in turn would then cause radiant energy from air. This radiant energy must be collected with 2 metal plates, each with small round holes in it (like a "net").

I for my part have no equipment to produce the source power currently... I tried it with a Wimshurst device though, but the discharge frequency is just too low and weak. It should be a very bright and continuos lightning arc. If the arc is only thin and blue/violet colored, that this is not enough, it must be bright white.
