Yes. There are application fees (which vary from country to country), but also the process is complicated enough that many people work with experienced patent attorneys to prepare and submit their applications.
When you send in your money to learn how to protect your invention, you get little but what you could have found at a local library, or a google search of "U.S. Patent Law". If you truly have an invention, document everything, have it witnessed and notarized, then put all those papers in a safe deposit box somewhere that only you know about. Then consult a patent attorney. Yes, he will cost a lot. "Is your invention worth it?" is a question only you can answer.
If you mean obtaining a copy of an existing patent, each country has a collection of every patent it has ever issued. The U.S. collection can be accessed online at uspto.gov. If you mean, "get my own patent for an invention"... First, you need to have an invention of your own. Then you need to speak to a patent attorney and determine if the invention can be patented and in which countries. Then the patent attorney (or patent agent) will draft an application and file it in one or more patent offices. In a couple of years you will receive a rejection and the patent attorney will assist you to determine if the rejection can be refuted by arguments, amendments, affidavits, or other techniques. It is very important that you not discuss your invention with anyone or use it in public until you have consulted with an attorney. -- Simple, wherever you want to explore marketing product, you can go to country for getting a patent. http://indiapatents.blogspot.com
Actually you didn't include the name of the invention but most of his inventions had one patent behind it with the name Tesla put to that invention.

Yes you can put what you want to patent in an a envelope and send it in for a provisional patent. It will be kept on file in case of a dispute.
A non drafted provisional application provides the means to establish an early priotiy date. It allows filing without any formal patent claims, declaration or any information disclosure (prior art statements). Such applications enable inventor to put 'Patent Pending' on his products. If provisional application is fully drafted it allows the inventor to have a better claim over his invention in view of potential infringer. He can claim his invention in a wider manner.

The term patent pending informs the public that a person filed a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for that particular item. The patent pending designation does not give the person any legal rights; it just means that the patent office will review their application. It does not guarantee that a patent will be awarded. It is a warning to potential competitors. Hopefully they won’t put the time and money into developing a product for which you may end up holding the patent.
