In this patent no resonant capasitors, so this pattent, I think, is wrong.
The patent I showed is the basic design. Capacitors could be used to improve the efficiency at the appropriate spots. There is also control circuitry not included in the basic patent.
With their design the 4 poles would indeed slow the unit down when power is extracted but in the tesla patent that I showed there are no poles per say. In fact Tesla said that the ring generators field cores would act like they had infinite poles. This is accomplished by the many many winds of copper around the ring field core. Each turn of each wind would be considered a pole.
Another reference to the Tesla method has already been shown by
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3b3h2cEbHw Now this is not the exact method that the patent That I have shown shows. It is in exact opposite and actually a hybrid. Where the magneto (exciter) and generator sections were merged. I don't believe this will work that well because of the fact that the permanent magnets are inside of the generator ring. The magneto needs to be 2 phase. And the generator field coils utilize the 2 phase from the magentos to create a standard Tesla rotating magnetic field within the toroid. The field cores are excited by High voltage which gets transformed in the rotor core's 2 phase generator coils. When this happens a huge magnetic field is created in the Rotor core and loops back to the toroid field cores generating even more high voltage and continues to do so in a loop. You can tap the loop via the rotor generating coils and utilized in the way Tesla has shown in the patent. Once this process is started no additional energy is required to feed this system once it is up to speed. and because the field cores have no real poles there is very little effect on the speed of the rotor as the prime mover rotates the rotor shaft.
In the case of the above video he has chosen a pulse motor. Thats fine and dandy but the real power of the system should utilize a motor as shown in the Tesla patent. This will allow for a more robust system that can generate much more then what the video shows above.
Also you must adhere to transformer rules when utilizing Tesla's methods. Keeping the strong magnetic fields in the rotors core allows conservation of the magnetic field to strengthen the effect of this kind of system.
Tesla also tried to tell us about the direction of the high voltage field and it's relationship to the rotor's direction of turning. Allowing the field coils to travel in the opposite direction of the rotor allows for a better efficiency of the generators section, especially at lower speeds.
So lets take this one step at a time:
Magneto (exciter): -- A magneto is an electrical generator that uses permanent magnets to produce periodic pulses of alternating current.
This should be a standard High voltage Magneto in a isolated two phase design. This means there is no common ground. Each phase is completely separated.
Generator: High voltage field coils on a non polled core: Standard Tesla toroidial transformer 4 subsections. Two coils per phase diametrically opposite per pair.
The rotor should be Two Phase 90 degrees out of phase in winding. So a cross design. The field coils should be energized in opposition to the rotor turning direction (to increase low speed generation).
The field cores should be able to channel a good amount of the magnetic field producible by the rotors two phase coils. <- This might be limiting factor of the total power obtainable from the system.
The rotor coils should be of heavy gauge and the field coils should be of very light gauge.
Prime mover (motor): This can be made as strong as one needs. The more powerful the Motor the better it can be tapped for useful energy as mechanical output. It must be of the design Tesla notes in his Patent.
Both Current and mechanical energy can be taken from this system. This is what Tesla was testing in 1932 with the Pierce Arrow experiment. He had Westinghouse build the motor/generator for him but made the control circuitry himself. This was to control the output of the unit and used up to 12 tubes for that purpose.
Several other Patents Tesla used were the magnetic control valve for the Gas pedal so to speak and various other patents provided by him. All of the other PAtents were done after he refined his ideas. Each one not directly tied to this device but as a subset of patents.
Again lets refer to the Patent:

One other note of interest is that the generator section if shorted would act like an AC motor. Direct shorting should not be employed on the generator section as this would fight the prime mover. So control circuitry must be used to keep it from direct shorting the generating Rotor.
The reason for the belt in the original patent was for mechanical extraction. The more you retard the rotor the more it becomes unsynchronized and the more current it generates per the text. In this mode it is a constant velocity system and an attempt to retard the rotor via mechanical extraction correspondingly increases the generated currents. Although this would be best in mechanical extraction I doubt this is the design that won in Tesla's mind. The option I allude to creates a symbiotic relationship to variable output without the need to retard the rotor since the Prime mover is included on the same shaft and hence generates a constant current. This would mean that when not in use it would generate huge heat values due to current pooling which was a reported issue in Tesla's Roadster test that made him include a sizable fan to keep it from overheating on the shaft as well.
One curious point is that when Tesla was looking at the impulses and how they affected static metal is that a huge heat value was attained. This is due to current pooling in the static metal. If the current has no where to go it will build to a point of melting the metal in the field and this is where I draw my conclusions about heat related issues in the Roadster experiment. When the current is not extracted it builds and a high value of heat is generated because it can not flow.
Tesla also elluded that metal wires even though straight had a variable static capacity. The variable part being the elevation above ground level. When that capacity is overshot it will react in various ways that also include explosions of that variable static capacity just like when you overfill a capacitor it will explode with such violence that he likened it to the best dynamite of the day.
