I was reading about Tesla this evening, as I do every once in a while to get a new perspective. I came across a theory he developed which I have never heard of before. It would be like Tesla's theory of free energy. It's called "Oscillator-Shuttle Circuit" theory or OSC theory.
I looked on the forum but found no mention of it. From what I've digested so far it is a vary meaty theory. And hey, it came from Tesla.
This might be just what the doctor ordered for all you starving coil builders.
After reading through the below document I have been struck with several ideas.
http://www.cheniere.org/references/TeslaOSC.pdf (http://www.cheniere.org/references/TeslaOSC.pdf)
1.) Tesla's nonlinear oscillator-shuttle-circuit (OSC) theory may describe Tesla's magnifying transmitter.
2.) Stanly Myers coils look very similar.
3.) This may very well describe Steve Marks TPU coil setup as well.
4.) The thermoacoustic refrigeration technology developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory looks strikingly similar to me. That is the phase angle change in one part of the circuit in combination with the original pulse serves to extract energy from the surrounding medium. http://www.lanl.gov/thermoacoustics/ (http://www.lanl.gov/thermoacoustics/)
In my own humble opinion, this shuttle theory deserves a lot more attention. It's like what has been slowly trying to form in my mind, starting with the TPU, is now right there in front of me.
As soon as I saw this picture my attention was immediately drawn to what Mr. Tesla is holding in his hands. I can see that it is two small coils of different size. But why is his attention turned to those coils. What secret do they hold?
Could it be possible that the machines behind him came from the knowledge of what he holds in his hands?
Nice picture of Tesla. thanks for posting that. Was that taken in his New York Lab?
Barrett's theory is complicated. Didn't he prove portions of it? I recall that he received a couple of patents.
Looking at your right hand rule, creating a force on a conductor in a magnetic field might produce a current.
EDIT:
if you apply an electric field pulse perp to the magnetic field (index finger of your right hand using your rule diagram), while the field is changing (pulse rise) will it create a force is that will induce a dipole current (like a displacement current)?

Yes the theory is a little bit hard to picture immediately but it's no more complicated than what I see in my mind already. It's a beautiful thing. It really is.
Being able to comprehend it separates the men from the boys. So if I ever grow up and am able see the whole thing clearly and completely in my mind I will try and describe it. ::)
I have always thought that things are simple when we remove the facade we have created.
