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...
How to Build a Tesla Coil
In many aspects, Nikola Tesla changed the way we consume electricity, transport and produce it. He even influenced the way we move and start...
PoWiFi Powers Devices Wirelessly, Eliminates Batteries
PoWiFi is a system that allows simultaneous wireless transfer of power and data to electronic devices using existing WiFi infrastructure, giving a glimpse of...
DIY Tesla Turbine From a Hard Disk
Disks
At first I tried using CDs because of their large surface areas, but they didn't hold up too well under the milling machine. I...
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...
“We’ll Prove Nikola Tesla Was Right,” Say Two Russian Physicists
In 1901, Nikola Tesla began construction of what came to be known as the Wardenclyffe Tower, which was supposed to be used for worldwide...
Bladeless Wind Turbine Built by Solar Aero, Inspired by Nikola Tesla's Invention
Remember that Tesla turbine we wrote about two years ago? Or the Tesla turbine made out of a hard drive? Nikola Tesla patented these turbines back in 1913, but he wasn't able to build them properly because the metals he could use at that time didn't have the right thickness and quality.
Disney Makes Nikola Tesla’s Wireless Power Dreams Come True
It looks like the Disney company has made Nikola Tesla's dream of wireless power transmission a reality. At least on a small scale.
