Tesla Car and his nephew

[magnetoelastic]

Yeah, the 70L7 vacuum tube was not invented until 1939.  The Tesla Car is a myth.

Has anyone came up with anything on this yet?

hey nightlife,

If you haven't had a chance to check out the thread at Energetic Forum on "Tesla's Wireless Transmission" this and many other items are there all related to his wireless work. The link is kinda in the middle of the 1931 Pierce Arrow .......

 In reading through the following (http://www.scribd.com/doc/13040608/The-Researches-of-Nikola-Tesla-1894)
I happened on to a section called OBTAINING DIRECT FROM ALTERNATING CURRENTS pg 409 is the start of that section. Where Tesla explains how he converts ac current into dc current with out diodes or rectifiers but instead uses cores and coils with secondaries as the path for the alternating current and the primary windings to be used for the dc current. If he was using tubes to create a crude inverter from dc (battery) current to which he powered a motor.He could use the above mentioned device to recharge his batteries while powering his motor if the device was placed between the inverter and the motor. The motor then becomes what looks to me to be a tank circuit with which the power is merely bounced back and forth between the batteries and the motor via the device which converts ac to dc. The tubes and four rods in the story which were removed from the magic box in the telsa car could have been the removable parts for the inversion from dc to ac and the moving parts of a custom variac that used the rods for contacts inside coils to control the motor rpm. he does show a tendency to want control over both stator and rotor field strength in his better motor designs to control the power curve and speed of his motors.
  Any thoughts anyone?

hi all
i have studied this for many years and it appeared to me that tesla had made more than one car or motors for cars.
the first was a redesign of the DC motor for edison which were used in the early electric cars in new york.
the second was done about 1918 and was said to run on batteries at the same time it was said that he was working for a colonel stafford near albany new york state and that they were also working with ge or westinghouse on vaccuum tube development at albany.
this car of 1918 was as said to run on batteries and used a unigue fluid transmission so the motor could have been run at a constant speed it was said that the frequency was around 30000 htz if it contained 10 poles it would run about 3000 rpm or so i know that he experimented with generators haveing as many as 250 poles and any genset is a motor.
i have run induction motors with 60 cycle resonance and they do not have a power reduction for the work they can do but the input power is down by or to about 20 percent of normal input if the motor was wound better it may do better check out the rotoverter at.

these folks are doing allot better than me so far with variable frequency drives and replaceing the squirrel cage with permanent magnets so as to achieve a locked rotor statis.

the last car was the one most people talk about but i think it used allot more tech than was mentioned up front a battery would not have seemed very out of place or much worth mentioning unless there wasn't one the fluid transmission could still have been geared to a clutch and pump giving better performance for fluid pressure.

i have allot more that i have collected but it gets bezarre from here so will leave it out it goes along with the joule thief stuff and his antenna tech.

Do you have any info on the old dc motors?
