The "Tesla Switch" seems to derive from Ronald Brandt -- who is generally reported to have been a close friend of Tesla (though google books / biographies don't show him).

Estate of Ron Brandt
« on: February 11, 2012, 10:50:43 PM »I purchased the estate of Ron Brandt, the inventor of the Tesla switch, this past summer. Items include a number of his Tesla switches, perm-mag motors, diagrams, vidoes and audio tapes of experiements and various mock ups. Wondering what I should do with these items.
