Tesla Car and his nephew

[mikestocks2006]

Driving that car for 20 miles and up to 70mph, would require some substantial horsepower. Maybe in the dozens? Not sure how heavy that car was but sure it was not the most aerodynamic.
Looking at the specs of the tube rectifiers, they seem have a max power of 5 watts each for the filament

Even 12 of them in a parallel configuration, can they handle the power requirements?
Thanks

One horsepower is IIRC about 746 watts.  So in normal electric power obviously the tubes would not cut it.  However if he was using radiant energy that would be a whole different story.  I'll assume he was using radiant energy with a motor that could run from RE.  There is also some controversy over whether he actually used the 70L7 tubes.

The answer is simpler then you think. Motor was not ORDINARY motor, but modified. Now imagine 200W input amplification to 35kW INSIDE motor as a torque due to HUGE magnetic field GAIN.
See it ? Case closed.

I like the sound of that explanation. Exactly how would we go about building this so it would work?

Look for Tariel Kapanadze videos then adapt, it is all Tesla methods
