Tesla's experimental station at Colorado Springs.  Shown is the extra coil discharging from a brass ring at its top to which thin wires, pointing upward, are fastened.  The sparks pass upward to a metal hood fastened to the base of the tower.  When operating in this fashion the coil produces the effect of a hot furnace, creating a strong current of air through the open roof. 1899.
