Just take it one step at a time.

Yep, that's my approach. I'm actually pretty comfortable with math; just not able to put in the time to do the paper justice right now and I'd have to brush up significantly on my EM to be able to really get much from it.

Thanks for the replies! It's fun for me to imagine a world where Tesla had his way with more than just AC; must be particularly fun for you to go about actually building such a world. :)
