Ayşe pondered, “So back to the likes of Tesla. What was he doing that we apparently failed to embrace?”

“Ah,” responded T with enthusiasm, “I looked into this… it seems Nikola Tesla inverted the role in the circuit of broadcast transmission. An electric circuit is a path in which electrons flow. An antenna is grounded; the return circuit is completed by the planet; you have electricity flowing under your feet when you walk outside, under the ground. Tesla made the return circuit via the air. The earth functioned as the antenna. He used resonance!”

Arther and Ayşe checked out the energy flow in a Tesla Coil for all you electrical circuit specialists out there.
