Thread found here www. energeticforum.com Found missing info from Tesla Radiant Energy Patent Refer to the article by jj thomson "on the discharge of electricity produced by the rontgen rays, and the effects produced by these rays on dielectrics through which they pass" at the royalsocietypublishing. org I believe that Tesla was charging his insulated plate in patent 685957 using an electrophorus (negative static charge) static prior to connecting to the rest of the circuit.
