Tesla's tertiary coil was outside the inductive coupling range of the primary and secondary system. So what induced the power in it? Obviously the logical guess is aetheric waves...radiant energy. If aetheric waves can induce large amounts of power in a coil...but...not being magnetic, is not subject to Lenz...then there is nothing really to self limit the system. That agrees very well with Tesla's statement regarding those coils.
So then what is the best way to generate a wave in the aether? It is said that aether is a super fluid with very low viscosity and very high density. Observing other fluids...like water...it becomes pretty apparent that large volume, strong impact, and high speed would be the best for generating the strongest pressure waves. Applied to aether, assuming that an electrostatic field alters aether density, that would imply a large volume of copper, high voltage, and rapid switching. Sound familiar?
Pondering more...when heat alters the density of air, we see perturbations in the light passing through it. Since a magnetic field is carried within aether, is it plausible that a wave in the aether creates a variation in magnetic field density, much like light wiggling over the hot pavement? When that magnetic field is reasonably strong and the aetheric wave is strong, the resulting wiggling of the magnetic field density would cause induction in any metal in the field. Since the movement of the field was done by an aetheric wave that cost very little to produce, the resulting power could be produced at a significant discount. If it were further possible to generate the aether wave as a standing wave, the wave intensity would continue to increase and the magnetic field variation would also increase. Using that line of reasoning, the intensity of the static magnetic field would directly affect the intensity of the variations by the aether wave. Maybe I'm deluding myself, but this is really starting to make some sense.
Now off to the lab to drag myself back down to reality...
