how to use the power from a tesla coil to power appliances?

Tesla coils produce very high voltage at a few microamps. so there are very few things they are practical to power. Tesla coils can be scaled down to supply useful power. The lowest power is a joule thief

The tesla coil/also called by tesla as the tesla transformer was PART of the system to transmit power through natural media IE earth and air. ONE the way people use it today is incorrect and telsa said so many times in his presentations. When marconi and others used his coil and other things he invented they were using them in diffrent ways as tesla used them.. Imagine using paper to build paper macheete animals but never writing on it. its a poor analogy but correct. To make the transmission of energy work properly the first things you need is the machine to produce power of high potential and occilations.... He used these words often in his lectures but most didnt seem to understand what he ment by them. You have to imagine that at that time he was making up words for alot of stuff he was discovering and in doing so people just didnt get it. When he says high potential most inveraibly thing alot of amps or watts.... this is not the case it is referring to the occilations the power is going through. If you were to make his patent

then remake

then remake

You could then plug in any generator into the first patent or even into the wall socket and then it would send those waves through the air to your reciever 685953 and it would then power any device you had without wires.. the other key is following all the instructions.... and that for some people is impossable.

IT COULD NOT POWER ANYTHING EXCEPT IT CAN BE USED AS A STUN GUN.
