The big question is - what was so unique about Tesla's circuit that the
patent office issued him a patent ? Keep in mind that Hertz's circuit could
not be made practicable for radio . This circuit also makes Tesla coils
possible. Most coilers and Hams take Tesla's circuit for granted without
knowing why it is so important.
