Fuel less Tesla Generator
In 1880 Nicola Tesla invented the alternating current system we use today. In 1890, he worked on a new type of electric generator, which should not “consume any fuel.”
Here is a description of his new generator on the basis of statements and records of the Tesla, and discloses how Fuel less generator could work and shows how Tesla’s new device would operate.

ABSTRACT
After a dozen years after patenting a successful method’s to generate alternating current, Nicola Tesla announced the invention of the electric generator, which should not “consume any fuel.” Such a generator should be the main driving force of its own. Two of Tesla devices representing different stages in the development of such a generator are known.

INTRODUCTION
When in college, Nicola Tesla announced that it is possible to move the electric motor without sparkling brushes, smug professor “taught” him that such an engine requires a perpetual motion, and therefore impossible. In response, in 1880, Tesla patented the AC generator and transformer.
During the 1890’s he intensively investigated other methods of energy generation, including the storage of charged particles, patented in 1901, when New York Times in June 1902 ran a story about an inventor who announced the creation of an electrical generator not requiring the main driving force in the form of fuel supplies outside, Tesla wrote to his friend that he had already invented such a device.
Fuel less generator raises the same problem of perpetual motion. Research conducted by Nicola Tesla during his second creative period has resulted in the creation of devices that are based on the possibility of fuel less energy extraction. We will discuss whether the fuel less generator Tesla’s some kind of “perpetual motion scheme” against which he warned the professor, or the creative application of recognized natural phenomena.
STATEMENTS TESLA
In the Brooklyn Eagle Tesla announced July 10, 1931, that “I have harnessed the cosmic rays and caused them to manage (move) a moving device. Further, in the same article, he writes: “More than 25 years ago, I began my efforts to harness the cosmic rays and now I can say that I succeeded.” In 1933, he makes the same statement in an article for the New York American, November 1, entitled “Device for Space-Energy Claimed by Tesla.” Tesla wrote:
“This new power to control the world’s machinery will be removed from the energy that drives the universe, cosmic energy, whose central source for the Earth is the sun and which is everywhere present in unlimited quantities.”
This count “more than 25 years ago” from 1933 to mean that the device, which Tesla said was to be built before 1908 more precise information is available through the library at Columbia University (Columbia University Library’s collection). June 10, 1902 in a letter to his friend Robert U. Johnson, editor of Century Magazine, Tesla made a clipping from a recent New York Herald on Clemente Figueras “engineer of trees and forests” in Las Palmas – capital of the Canary Islands , who invented a device which produces electricity without combustion. What happened next with Figueras and his generator fuel is unknown, but this ad in the paper prompted Tesla, in his letter to Johnson to declare that they have created such a device, and to disclose the physical laws on which it is based.
UNDERSTANDING THE INVENTION
The device, which is most consistent with the expected effect can be found in the patent Tesla “Device for utilizing radiant energy” ? 685,957, which was filed and granted by March 21, 1901. The concept of the older technical language looks. Insulated metal plate up into the air for as high as possible. Another metal plate is placed in the ground. The wire extends from the metal plate to one side of a capacitor and a second wire goes from the ground at the other end of the condenser.
Sun, as well as other sources of radiant energy, clears the fine particles of positively charged matter, which, striking the upper plate, tell her continuous electrical charge. Housed on the opposite side of the terminal capacitor is attached to the ground, which can be considered as a vast reservoir of negative electricity, negligible current flows continuously in the condenser, and because the particles are … charged to a very high potential, it is charged by the condenser may continue, as I have actually observed, almost indefinitely, until the point of piercing of the dielectric.
This is the type of device is very simple design seems to be to meet with his statement on the establishment of fuel less generator, fed by cosmic rays, but in 1900, Tesla wrote that he considers the most important of his article the one in which he describes self activates machine that could extract power from the surrounding space, it fuel less generator, which is different from his Radiant Energy Device. Article called “The increase in human energy – Through the use of the Sun” was published by his friend Robert Johnson in The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine in June 1900 soon after Tesla returned from Colorado Springs , where he held an intensive series of experiments from June 1899 until January 1900.
The exact title of the chapter where he discusses this device is worth it to play it completely.
“A departure from known methods – the possibility of” automotive “engine or machine, stationary, but capable, as a living creature, to extract energy from the environment – the ideal way of obtaining a driving force.”
Tesla said that he first began thinking about the idea when I read the statement of Lord Kelvin, who said that not self-cooling device, supporting their work through the heat coming from the outside. As a thought experiment Tesla presented a very long bundle of metal wires stretched from earth to outer space. Since the earth is warmer than the surrounding space, together with the heat that will rise up, current flows through the wires. Then, all that needs to be done take a long power cord to connect the two ends of metal grating to a motor. The motor will continue to work until the earth has cooled to the surrounding space. “It would be a stationary machine, which, apparently, to be part of the environment to cool below ambient temperature, and act receive the warm, this is what produces energy directly from the environment without” the consumption of whatever material. ”
Tesla continues in the article to describe how he worked on the creation of such an energy device, and here he does some defining work to focus on one of his inventions. He wrote that he first began thinking about how to extract energy from the surrounding space when I was in Paris during 1883, but there he could not devote much time to this idea, because several years had to deal with commercial issues related to its ac and motors. This lasted until 1889, when he returned to the idea of self-propelled machine.
TURBINE
He quickly came to the conclusion that the conventional electric machine, as it is a generator, can not directly extract energy from the cosmos, which launched its efforts in the direction, which he called the design “of the turbine.
Best known turbine – water pump – connected with Tesla’s patent # 1,061,206, which was filed in 1909 and adopted in 1913. A unique feature of this water pump is that instead of using some form of paddle wheel inside the housing for movement of water, more water in it is moving faster than using a set of flat metal disks. The turbine itself is delightful and can serve as confirmation of another important invention, unnoticed, but as far as the electric design, the overall shape of the turbine – metal discs rotating inside the supporting frame.
The same form appears in another patent, this time it is called ” dynamo electric
machine. This patent was filed and approved in the same year that Tesla said he returned to work on “self-acting” engine, in 1889. Dynamo consisting of a metal disc rotates between the magnets producing an electric current.
In comparison with its alternator, this “dynamo machine” represents a kind of an interesting analogy to the days of Faraday’s early experiments with a copper disk and magnet. Tesla makes some improvement install Faraday, using magnets that completely cover the spinning metal disks and he also adds to the outer edge of the disc, so that current can be removed more easily – all this makes him a perfect generator than Faraday. At first sight it is difficult to understand why Tesla patented such an anachronistic machine at this period of his work.
The following piece puzzle can be found in Tesla, written for The Electrical Engineer in 1891, called “Notes on a unipolar dynamo. Here Tesla presents a deep analysis of the Faraday disk generator, explaining why he was ineffective generator, describes his improved variations and, at the end of the third page of the article, claims that he invented the generator in which “the current, once started its movement, can then be sufficient to maintain itself and even grow in strength. ” Then, at the end of the article, Tesla claims that “few cars have been created by the author two years ago.” Two years before writing this article was 1889. Everything indicates that the unipolar dynamo in the form of the turbine was first engineered by Tesla device which continued to produce electricity after it was disconnected from the traditional power source.
Self-sustaining current.
Before turning to the details of this invention, it would be advisable to have an idea of how any generator, even theoretically, could be capable of the product of a self-sustaining current. This was well shown Walter M. Elsasser in Scientific American article (May 1958) which was called “Earth as a dynamo.”
Elsasser considering the Earth as a dynamo, that is suitable for explaining the rotation of the metal disk around a magnetic bar located at the edge of the disk in the Faraday generator. He drew attention, also, that the bar magnet could be replaced by an electromagnet, which could receive power from a rotating disk with the attachment of one end of the wires of the electromagnet to the outside of the disk and the other end of the wire to the metal rod that passes through the center of the disc.
Elsasser then shows that ordinary disk generator is not “could support the current is very long, due to the fact that the current induced in the drive for so many weak that he would soon be scattered resistance of the conductor [the disk].” This conventional arrangement would not be the answer, “as the currents can be raised and preserved to maintain the Earth’s magnetic field. He nevertheless offers three options for construction of a dynamo that could explain the strong magnetism of the Earth.
If we had material that could conduct electricity a thousand times better than copper, the system really should give a self-sustaining current. We could also force him to produce work of turning the drive very quickly … the third way is that we could make it self-sustaining dynamo … by increasing the size of the system: the theory of light is that the more we are doing is a dynamo, the better it works. If we could build such a device the size of a disk is many miles, we would have no difficulty in establishing self-sustaining currents.
Tesla did not have a material a thousand times more conductive than copper, as he has not been possible to rotate the disc at ultra-high speeds needed to produce sufficient current, and he did not plan to cast ingot for subsequent rotation diameter of several miles. What he actually did was to use the energy that is usually lost in the generator and turned that energy into a source of power.
Unipolar Dynamo
Tesla’s design differs from the construction of Faraday two main points. 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 emanating from the center to the outer edge.
In the Faraday unipolar generator “the current” as Tesla noted, “is set in such a way that it does not cross the entire outer ring … and … is much greater portion of the current will not occur outside …” With a magnet, completely covers the disk, Tesla used the entire surface of the disc for the production of current, instead of a small section directly attached to the bars of a magnet, as it was in the Faraday device. This not only increases the amount produced current, but current is compelled to move from center to edge, making the entire current available to the external circuit.
Even more importantly, these modifications of the Faraday design eliminated one of the biggest problems in any physical system – opposition to every action. This resistance tends to cancel any effort which is the cause of the initial steps. In an electrical system there are two turns of wire windings next to each other and the current sent through a wire passing through the first loop starts a magnetic field which works against the current passing through the second loop.
The spiral section in the drive current is forced to undergo a full radius of the disk or, as in his alternative version of the generator – to make a complete pass around the outside edge of the disk. Due to the fact that the current flows in a large circle in the rim of the disk, the magnetic field produced by current, not only does not work against the field magnet above the circular plate, as in the serial generators, but instead, actually increases the magnet. Thus, as the disc crosses the magnetic lines to produce a current coming from the disc increases the magnet, allowing it to produce even more current.
Like the serial DC generators, the unipolar dynamo also functions as a motor if current is fed to drive while under the magnet, and it seems to be the last element of which would make the unit self-sustaining. So that it is able to produce current after disconnecting from an external source movement, such as falling water or steam.
The rotation begins, for example, the engine powering the current shock. As the generator and electric drive are set moving in a magnetic shell. Since the drive is gaining speed, current, which is produced by rotating, reinforces the magnets, which become the reason for production of even more current. This current is likely to first be sent to the drive motor, which increases the speed of the system. At some point the speed of the two disks is great enough that the magnetic field produced by current, has gained momentum to keep the dynamo motor works independently.
What process could maintain the unipolar dynamo operating after the increase in power only a guess at the moment, however, two features of the generator are significant? First, when the load resistance, such as light, is added to the chain, it lowers the voltage in the center of the disc. This lower voltage in the center means that there is a greater difference in voltage between the center and the outer side of the disc, than before the bulb has been added. Since the difference between the center and outer side increases, the dynamo is working intensively, producing more current. The second, more important, the dynamo takes very little or not at all takes energy to their work, because the current coming from the generator produces a dual job. The current causes the bulb glow, but in this way from the generator to the glow lamp, it goes way, which adds time to the dynamo and, therefore, consumes energy at a very low level. The process continues as it might seem, until heat losses in the filament equal the rotational energy wheel generator.
In terms of Elsasser’s approach to self-sustaining generator, Tesla unipolar dynamo comes closest fit to meet the conditions for good electrical conductor. But due to the fact that you are using a new material, but thanks to the new geometry, applied so that the current does not create a counter force. This is similar, but not the equivalent of, the availability of a better conductor.
Else, or otherwise, the dynamo is in fact a “fuel free” generator and is inventive feat that uses one of the fundamental principles of nature – opposition to every action – and transforms it using the new geometry of the chain, in response, which in addition to the initial action. Instead, the reverse reaction, the braking system, the reaction medium on the contrary, adds energy to the system.
Tesla, however, was not satisfied with his mechanical self-sustaining generator. Dynamo could provide energy for a single machine, but his desire was to cover the city and in 1900 in an article in The Century magazine, he describes in detail the theory of such a device.
Imagine, he suggested that a closed cylinder with a small hole in it near the bottom. Let us assume that this cylinder contains very little energy, but he was placed in the environment that has a lot of energy. In this case, the energy would flow from the external environment, higher energy source, through a small hole at the bottom of the cylinder inside the cylinder, where less energy. Also assume that the energy passing into the cylinder is converted into another form of energy, such as heat is converted into mechanical energy in the steam engine. If it were possible to artificially produce such a “sink” for the energy of the surrounding space, then “it would enable us to supply any point on the globe uninterrupted energy during the day and night.”
Tesla continues, detailing his energy pump but changed his image a bit. At the Earth’s surface we have a higher energy level and can present them at the bottom of the lake, with water surrounding us like the energy of the surrounding space. If a “sink” for energy will be created in the cylinder, it is necessary to replace the water that would flow into the tank, something that is easier than water. This could be done by pumping the water from the cylinder, but when the water flowed back to, we would be able to produce only the same amount of work with the incoming water, which we spent for its pumping. “As a result, we did not win in this double operation: first pumping water, and then allowing it to come back.”
Energy, however, can be transformed into different forms during its passage from a higher to a lower status. Tesla says: “we assume that the water during its passage into the tank turns into something else that can be obtained without any use of power or very little with its use.” For example, if the energy of the environment represented in the form of water, hydrogen and oxygen that make up the water will be other forms of energy, in which she turns getting into the cylinder.
In accordance with this ideal case, all the water gets into the tank would be decomposed into oxygen and hydrogen … and the result will be that the water will constantly flow and the tank will remain empty, since the gases formed will evaporate. Thus we need to make a small amount of work initially to create a flow of water and then we’ll get any amount of energy without further effort.
Tesla recognized that the system of energy conversion may not be perfect, some water will always fall into the tank, but “will have to pump less water than it receives, or in other words, will need less energy to maintain the initial condition, which is created (the incoming water) to say that a certain amount of energy will be extracted from the environment. ”
He found that this pumping could be made piston “not connected with what – something else, but perfectly free to vibrate c tremendous speed. That he could do with his “mechanical oscillator,” a steam engine used to create high frequency currents. The faster the pump would have worked, the more effective it would be extracting energy from space. Research in this direction culminated in the generator shown by the Chicago World Fair in 1893. Only much later in the article in 1900, Tesla opened the curtain: “In that case, I demonstrated the principles of the mechanical oscillator, but the original purpose of this machine is explained here for the first time.”
It is also interesting that in 1893, Tesla applied for a patent for an electric coil, which is the most likely candidate for his successor, a non-mechanical energy extractor. This is his “Coil for electromagnets” patent ? 512,340. This is another curious design because, unlike conventional coils with a wire wound on a tubular form in a coil of wire used two posited next to each other on the frame, but the end of the first wire was added to the beginning of the second wire.
In the patent Tesla explains that this double coil is able to save much more energy than a conventional coil. Preliminary measurements of two helices of the same size and with the same number of revolutions – one single, another double (bifilar) winding, show differences in the resulting voltage. Nevertheless, the patent contains no hint that he may have a more unusual destination.
In the Century magazine article Tesla compares extracting energy from the surrounding space with the work of other scientists who, at the time, investigated the condensation of atmospheric gases into a liquid. In particular, he mentioned the work of Dr. Karl Linde who discovered what Tesla described the method of “self-cooling” air. As Tesla said: “It was only experimental proof which I had expected that the energy can be obtained from the surrounding space in a way that I expected.”
What connects the work of Linde and the electromagnetic coil Tesla, is that they both used a double path for the material with which they worked. Linde compressor used to pump air to high pressure, allowing pressure to fall during its passage through the tube and then used that cooled air to reduce the temperature of incoming air giving him move back up to the first tube through a second tube closing the first (17). Already cooled air added to the process of cooling the machine and quickly condensed the gases to a liquid.
Tesla’s intention was to condense the energy captured between the earth and its upper atmosphere and convert it into electricity. He pictured the sun as a huge electric ball, positively charged with a potential of about 200 billion volts. Earth, on the other hand, negatively charged. Amazing electric force between two bodies is at least part of what Tesla called cosmic energy. It varies from night to day and from season to season, but always present.
The positive particles are stopped at the ionosphere and between it and the negative charges in the earth at a distance of 60 miles , there is a big difference voltage – something about 360,000 volts. Since gases of the atmosphere, which serves an insulator between these two stocks of electric charges, the area between the earth and the edge of space captures huge amounts of energy. Despite the large size of the planet, for electricity it is like a capacitor which keeps positive and negative charges apart by using non-conducting material as an insulator.
The earth has a charge of 90,000 coulombs. With a potential of 360,000 volts The Earth formed 0.25 farad capacitor (farads = coulombs / volts) (18). If the formula for calculating the energy stored in a capacitor (E = 1/2CV2) applied to land, it means that the environment contains 1.6 x 1011 joules or 4.5 megawatt-hours of electrical energy.
In order to remove the cork from the energy reserve Tesla had to do two things – create a “cold sink” for environmental and energy to think the way to self-maintenance “sewage pipe”. Explanation of how this process could work again requires reflection.
Such a “sewage pipe” should be in the lowest energy state than the environment, to maintain constant energy intake in it (sink) flow to maintain a lower state of energy, and simultaneously meet the requirements of the power load attached to it. Electrical energy, watt-seconds, is the result of volts x amps x seconds. Since the period of oscillations does not change as the voltage and current should be variable in the energy equation coil.
Since the double coil winding increases the voltage difference between its turns, it may happen that the current is minimized by producing a lower state of energy in the coil. In order for the coil was initially “empty” and at low energy, it could operate at high voltage with a small amount of charge (19).
The coil must then be set into oscillation with the resonant frequency by an external source of energy. During part of this cycle the coil will go down in the electric field of the Earth as one plate of the capacitor. Since the voltage across the coil increases, the amount of charge that it can “lower the” Earth from the higher energy field will increase.
The energy captured by the coil – through the small opening, which is the atomic structure of the conductor, respectively Tesla physics of time, then “condenses” into positive and negative components of current – to form a lower state energy relative to its source.
Current comparable with water that has been turned into gases in the description of self-propelled machine Tesla. Current may “slip” from the “sink” in which whatever the load, which would be attached to the chain. Movement of current in the load would produce a strong magnetic field (target, shown in the patent) which, while declining over time, could again make a high potential, low charge “sink” to copulate with the electric field of the Earth.
Due to the fact that energy is flowing into a dual function, similar to unipolar generator, supplying a current load and helping the function of pumping energy consumption of the motion of charges is low, allowing the system to extract more energy from the environment than it spent during the work. The coil needs no extra energy from an external source to pump energy, which it extracts.
The energy could come directly from the sun.
A modern view of such a device would describe his work in terms of self-oscillating capacitive system. Once the device is configured to certain fluctuations, consumes very little power to maintain the load. Because we have an electrostatic oscillating system, only a small amount of charge passes through the load for one cycle (this is coulombs per second = amps that will be low). If the charge is used at low level, the energy accumulated in the capacitive system, will be converted into heat slightly, allowing the oscillations to continue for a long period of time.
Given the immense importance of Tesla’s inventions for the world of science is wondering why it was not used, or at least published. Politics – not science and it can be a major factor. The adoption of AC also met the opposition of powerful financiers of the period. Michael Pupin, another leading researcher of electricity, said in his autobiography:
… Commanders of the industry feared that they would have to be satisfied with the remnants of their vehicles and factories, DC for their production, if the alternating current system would receive some support … ignorance and false notions prevailed in the early nine hundred, because the commanders paid little attention to highly trained scientists (20 , 21).
Tesla’s patents for electrical generators and motors were granted in late 1880. During the 1890’s large electric power industry, as Westinghouse and General Electric, came to existence. With 10 million dollars invested in construction and equipment industry has no intention to abandon the old, but very profitable technology for the sake of some another.
Tesla saw revenues that could be derived from the self-acting generator, but at the same time he realized and the negative attitude that this device may have. At the end of the section in the magazine Century, where he described his new generator he wrote:
“I worked for a long time, being fully convinced that the practical implementation of the method of obtaining energy from the sun would be invaluable to the industry, but the continuing study of the subject, I realized that even though my expectations of profit from this project have been sufficiently substantiated, it will not be assessed in accordance with its exceptional merit “(22).
Years later, in 1933, he was clearer in his notes on the application of its fuel free generator. In the Philadelphia Public Ledger of November 2, there is an interview with Tesla under the headline “Tesla” harness “cosmic energy”. In the interview he was asked whether there will upset the existing economic system with the introduction of his principle? Dr. Tesla replied: “it is already upset.” He added that now, more than ever the time is ripe for the development of new resources.
It has been nearly a century after Nicola Tesla announced a radically new method for the production of electricity. Is needed for the development of new resources, there is now a huge, more than at the end of the last century. Perhaps these are considered an invention will make its vision of “increasing human energy through the use of solar energy” reality.
