[6] E.g., see T.W. Barrett, "Tesla's Nonlinear Oscillator- Shuttle-Circuit (OSC) Theory," Annales de la Fondation Louis de Broglie, 16(1), 1991, p. 23-41. Barrett shows that a higher topology EM model (e.g., quaternions) allows shuttling and storage of potentials in circuits, and also allows additional EM functioning of a circuit that a conventional EM analysis cannot reveal. Tesla's actual patented circuits in fact exhibit this higher topology, when a quaternion EM analysis of them is performed. No orthodox vector/tensor analysis can show this.
