A few things about the Tesla Coil

Ovidiu Sandru — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 20:34:44 +0000

To investigate the electrical realm of high-frequency and high-voltage, Tesla invented an apparatus that pushed the limits of electrical understanding. None of the circuit’s typical components were unknown at the time, but its design and operation together achieved unique results”not the least because of Tesla’s masterful refinements in construction of key elements, most particularly of […]

Tesla Free Energy Device – The Bifilar Coil

Ovidiu Sandru — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 20:31:51 +0000

Tesla’s free energy suppression is a conspiracy theory claiming that certain special interest groups are suppressing, or have suppressed in the past, technologies that would or could provide energy at reduced costs, reduced pollution output, or would or could reduce the energy consumption of various devices. Most of the free energy devices in question have […]
