Re-Inventing The Wheel-Part1-Clemente_Figuera-THE INFINITE ENERGY MACHINE

[NRamaswami]

Dear Mr. Marathonman:

My experiments are over. Edison failed about 1086 times and I failed about 100 times.  The 1902 report says that the Figuera took the energy from the Atmosphere. Used a small device. Using the atmosphere essentially means using electrostatics or capacitors. None of the patents show any capacitor. The only thing that I have noticed is that thick insulation produces good results and once we reach saturation of the core secondary output is dependent not on primary input but on the number of turns and thickness of wires of secondary and the size of the core.

I'm afraid of sparks and afraid of capacitors. I know the sound a capacitor makes when it is suddenly discharged and the kind of spark it can make at that time. Not interested in doing these dangerous things. Moreover I have started getting some work. It is better to focus on my practice and earn some money rather than spending money on these projects. Bye Bye..

The 1902 report says that the Figuera took the energy from the Atmosphere. Used a small device. Using the atmosphere essentially means using electrostatics or capacitors. None of the patents show any capacitor.

I have a press clipping, that I have not translated (it doesn't give any technical detail), where Figuera stated that his invention did not dealed with atmospheric electricity. Newspapers named his machine that way  (energy from the surroundings, atmosphere,...) but it was just a bad definition of his generator, and he was totally contrary to the name given by reporters. Basically he stated that although he believed that in the future the power of rays could be collected his invention rely on a more close source of the electricity. He wrote about the vibrations on the molecules created by the electricity, as a force in itself. He stated: " The big mistake is to suppose, and settle, that we are going to use the electricity of the atmosphere and the clouds. This is not that way; not even close"


The part I love more is the end of that press clipping:


" When dealing with electricity you can't  and you mustn´t pronounce the word 'impossible'   ".

The so called 'athmosperic electricity' was used in two context. One is electrostatic field, second is ether. Later it was completly misunderstood.

The article is signed off  ,  C Figuera and P Blasberg


Pedro is not a no body , he played his part

Curiously Pedro Blasberg became later the director of the gas factory in the Canary Islands. He disappeared from everything related to the generator. And his career had a huge progression: from electrician to director of a gas factory. Something here stinks ....
