Tesla Radiant Receiver - Collector

[Sergh]

I found a very interesting modern patent, describing one important, seemingly unnoticeable detail.

TESLA PATENT 685,958 METHOD OF UTILIZING RADIANT ENERGY.

Referring to Fig. 1, C is the condenser, P the insulated plate or conducting body, which is exposed to the rays, and P' another plate or conductor, all being joined in series, as shown. The terminals T T' of the condenser are also connected to a circuit including a receiver R, which is to be operated, and a circuit-controlling device d, which in this case is composed of two very thin conducting-plates t t', placed in close proximity and very mobile, either by reason of extreme flexibility or owing to the character of their support.

A modern patent for a similar part:

Found a way to detect and enhance the radiant - https://gorchilin.com/articles/radiant/second_magnetic_field_amplifier?lang=en
