Telsa High Frequency Electrical Generator
In the early years when Nicola Tesla had his laboratory in New
York, he made a simple vibration device powered by air. It was
simple in construction and having no valves , one air inlet and
only one moving part.
Although power required is hazy, it was suggested he used only
1/25 horsepower to run it.
When he had the unit connected to a metal pillar in his
building and when he had it running some time, there was
resonance build up enough in the surrounding buildings to
cause them to shake and nearly be destroyed.
They would have happened to, if he had not stopped the unit by
hitting it with a large hammer nearby to stop the resonance.
Although I have not seen the unit , I believe it could have
worked in principle like the unit illustrated.
The design shown is my idea of how it could have been modified
later by Telsa to generate electrical energy of high alternating
frequency for transfer of electrical energy without wires.
It could be made of metal [preferably] but maybe with modern
plastic fittings as well if heat build up is not a problem
encountered.
The unit might have been constructed thus:
A single cylinder closed off at one end with a drill hole small
enough to hold a single piston rod .
On the bottom of the shaft is a piece of plastic that seals
bottom hole in position when shaft is in down position.
Next up is an air delivery position.
Further up the piston is a piece of circular metal that makes a
air tight seal.
Rubber seals or oil possibly be used to ensure a complete air
tight fit.
Above this is a set of magnets that move through a coil of
wire.
The weight above is designed to help move the assembly down
when air pressure drops.
Secure top of unit so that rod can only travel up and down
without side ways movement.
A Slight Variation
The piston arrangement could be different in that no hole needs
to be drilled in the bottom of cylinder.
Use a cup or tin can for outer cylinder and fed with air in from
side.
Place a small cylinder inside can so that rod shaft has
somewhere to rest securely and is able to move only up and
down.
Make a cover that fits over top of can and is air tight when
rested there when fitted to shaft. Make a inlet for the air to
be side delivered into unit.
The rest of assembly is as above.
The distance the rod needs to travel need not be large as it is
the higher frequencies we are interested in.
You will need to experiment with coil windings, magnetic
strength and air pressure to get your desired electrical
output.
Theory Of Operation
Air Pressure is delivered through side outlet
The air pressure in the cylinder builds up and lifts assembly
upwards generating electricity in one direction in the coil.
When the air pressure drops due to the bottom hole in the
cylinder or through the top with cup unit ,the top weight
forces unit downwards and generates electricity in opposite
direction.
The whole process repeats until air supply is removed. I would
suggest that the Tesla unit be mounted on rubber backing to
prevent vibration transfer to surrounding areas. The ideas put
forward are not protected by patent as far as I know.
