Solarial: Solar Power for Disasters
I recently found a website providing some design details to make a solar powered balloon, or zeppelin to assist the rescue teams in case of a natural calamity, such as the one in Burma, the earthquake in China, and so on. The idea is to have mobile electric power in such areas, where it can’t [...]
Tesla’s Self-sustaining electricity generator
Before going into the details of this invention it would be worthwhile to have an idea of how any generator, even in theory, could be capable of producing a self-sustaining current. This has been clearly explained by Walter M. Elsasser in a Scientific American article (May 1958) titled “The Earth as a Dynamo.”
Elsasser models [...]
How To Build a Tesla Turbine From a Hard Disk Drive
Please note that I am not a Physicist or a machinist (yet). I have been interested in Nikola Tesla for some time, and I was looking for a project to gain some experience in the machine shop. My job is to provide Lecture Demonstrations, so my goal was to produce a [...]
John Bedini’s Scalar Wave Battery Charger
It happened on a Saturday night on the Bill Jenkins Show. I was invited to speak between the Dodger Baseball game and the news. The show had about one hour remaining to the end at 12:00 midnight.
Bill Jenkins knew nothing about what I was going to talk about that night. The time came for us [...]
John Bedini’s Cigar Box-sized Tesla Switch - How To Build It
John Bedini was invited to speak at the Tesla Centennial Symposium in Colorado Springs, CO, on August, 11, 1984, The symposium honored the 100th anniversary of the arrival of Nikola Tesla in the USA, and was sponsored by the Tesla Committee, by the Institute for Electronic and Electrical Engineers (IEEE), Pikes Peak Section, and by [...]
The Tesla Turbine
Nikola Tesla created an engine design nearly 100 years ago that is as much as three or four times more efficient than the combustion engine design that has dominated for reasons other than science.At the time of his invention around 1909, Tesla was able to demonstrate a fuel efficiency of 60% with his bladeless [...]
The Tesla Oscillator (aka Earthquake machine)
Nikola Tesla is primarily thought of as an electrical genius, but he also was responsible for a number of mechanical devices. One of the most notorious of these was his “Earthquake Machine” otherwise known as the Tesla Oscillator. The machine which Tesla tested was small, around seven inches long, and weighing only one or two [...]
Tesla’s Unipolar Dynamo working principles
Tesla’s design varied from that of Faraday in two major ways. First, he used a magnet that was bigger in diameter than the disk so that the magnet completely covered the disk. Second, he divided the disk into sections with spiral curves radiating out from the center to the outside edge.
In the Faraday unipolar generator [...]
