The chief feature which distinguishes the
method present from that former
invention, just referred to, that the energy 85
stored not, the former instance, ob
tained from the energy the disturbances
or effects transmitted from distance, but
from independent source. Evidently

In the practical application this method
I usually proceed follows: any point
where desire investigate utilize for 120
any purpose effects disturbances propa
gated through the natural media from any
kind source provide suitable generator
of electricity—as, for example, battery and
a condenser—which connect the poles 125

Expressed generally, the present method 90
consists charging storage device with en
ergy from independent source, controlling
the charging said device the action the
effects disturbances transmitted through
the natural media, and coincidently using 95
the stored energy for operating receiving
device.
Furthermore, the enei’gy obtained through
the cooperation the impulses the form
of extremely rapid vibrations and because of
this unsuitable for the operation ordinary

secured many instances; but very often the
improvement either not applicable all,
of, so, the gain very slight. Furthermore, since

it necessary for the attainment the best
results that whatever the character the re
ceiver and the nature the disturbances as
much possible the energy conveyed

of the receiver, and with this object view
I have heretofore, among other means, em

thus magnifying the effect exerted upon and

My present invention intended for the
same general purposes, and comprises an- 80
other apparatus means which similar
results may obtained.

it desirable that the disturbances produced
by the transmitting apparatus should as

tain forms high frequency apparatus,

known, important practical advantages are
in this respect secured
