Once I saw the single set up for a Kelvin genarator I put all the pices together and made the connection. So if you really want to know how this technology works I just pointed you in the right direction.

H20power,
I ran across the Atmospheric Electricity document that Lord Kelvin recommends below to Tesla .
The only way I could get the info was each page being a single PDF.
There are about 50 of them. Here are the first 19 related to Atmospheric Electricity circa 1860
SEE BIGFOOT's post below, he combined all the PDF's into 1 PDF. (thanks BigFoot)The Table of Contents does not match the page numbers/file names.
You have to go by Table of Contents and Section Numbers within each page.
Hope this helps further the development,

Dear Mr. Tesla,
I do not know how I can ever thank you enough for the most kind letter of May, 10, which I found in my cabin in the Lucania, with the beautiful books which you most kindly sent me along with it:—“The Buried Temple”, “The Gospel of Bhudda”, “Les Grands Inities”, the exquisite edition of Rossetti’s “House of Life”, and last but not least the Century Magazine for June, 1900 with the splendid and marvelous photographs on pp. 176, 187, 190, 191, 192, full of electrical lessons.
We had a most beautiful passage across the Atlantic, much the finest I have ever had. I was trying hard nearly all the way, but quite unsuccessfully, to find something definite as to the functions of ether in respect to plain, old fashioned magnetism. A propos of this, I have instructed the publishers, Messrs. Macmillan, to send you at the Waldorf a copy of my book (Collection of Separate Papers) on Electrostatics and Magnetism. I shall be glad if you will accept it from me as a very small mark of my gratitude to you for your kindness. You may possibly find something interesting in the articles on Atmospheric Electricity which it contains.
Lady Kelvin joins me in kind regards, and I remain,
Yours always truly,
Kelvin
Thank you also warmly for the beautiful flowers.
