Insulation from the ground is compulsory ! Between 2 ends connecting the extremes of the gradient through the capacitor, antenna goes straight to the ground and a capacitor is placed on this connection.
Indeed, Tesla’s aparatus for utilising radiant energy is the mechanism employed in any of Don Smith devices, the difference consist of type of antenna used for a certain frequency chosen to be used a source of energy, see plasma tube devices and coil with NST .
So, only difference is which vibration and frequency we want to employ in a specific device, using a voltage gradient that naturally occur in atmosphere, respective 100v/meter in respect with the ground.
When make a judgement about this invention of Tesla try to visualise the whole spectrum of frequency from gamma radiation to very low frequency as Schumann resonance and design your antenna for a specific range. So caduceus coils looks more appropriate for Schumann resonance as antenna and just plates as capacitors around plasma tube for higher frequency.
Looks like the method where artificial source of radiation (including RF) with very little input is enough to give huge output power if a self powered method of interruption is employed. They could be diodes with adequate forward voltage threshold to allow capacitor to fill, or transistors or mosfet … unlimited choices, depend on your own design.
