Tesla is crystal clear on what radiant energy is, but less so about the real details of creation and collection. I was shocked at how much I learned by a detailed reading of 685958.
Given Tesla's specific calling out of X-rays and other forms of radiant energy as an energy source and the focus of 685958, coupled with the general scientific knowledge on how such waves are created, it seems very likely to me that coil banging approaches are one of several that can work. I am less convinced of aether vortex explanations, but am not completely turned off to such, just not sure that such an exotic explanation is required.
I mentioned this on OU also, but was very interested to find some discussions on energy transfer in ESD testing. A symposium paper suggested that ESD energy was not transferred in proportion to the Joule strength of the discharge, but in proportion to V*di/dt*A. Given that di/dt approaches infinity, that is a pretty big statement, whether the author knew it or not. It was also very obvious from the paper that the increase in energy translated into a very wide spectrum. I am generally of the opinion that for a given discharge, the aggregate sum of energies will be equal to the initial discharge...but...it is possible that sum of energies from isolated bands may be well above unity. The real secret of producing OU may be in isolating excess energies in bands, and then aggregating. A device like TK's may actually only be slightly OU (based on how he is gathering energy), but by building it over time, he can drive it to high output levels. Ten percent of a big number is still generally a big number.
Going back to the heat pump analogy...sorry Core...if you put a dozen window A/C units in the same room, the temperature in the room will increase by the amount of electrical energy expended to run the units...a heater running at COP < 1. Put those same dozen units in an environment where we can capture the heat and the cold independently, and the total available energy as expressed by a big pile of cold and a big pile of hot, will be well over unity. The spark discharge may be creating a lot of transient energy that once it averages out, may equal the spark's Joule value...but the transient energy itself may be large, but occurring in a form we aren't expecting.
