Tesla's Magnifying Transmitter (amplify electricity)

[sparks]

     Tesla teaches us time and time again the correlation between the mechanical world and the electrical world.  Please contemplate this.  Two capacitor plates do not weigh the same amount when charged.  A piece of copper wire changes physical dimensions upon being pulsed.  A piece of copper wire can be visualized as a doped semiconductor.  When first energised the holes in the electron valence shells are caused to move instantaneously through the atomic matrix well before any mass moves.  Gravity will now accelerate one end of the wire differently then the other creating torque.  The electron cloud is a reality.  The cloud circulating a vacuum just like a solid matrix circulates a hole.

My Great Grandfather was an inventor, as was my Grandfather. Gr. Grand Dad had involvements with Westinghouse back then and maybe some with Tesla. He had 2 electric motors connected at the shaft and all wires went to a box with a switch on it. Turn on the switch and give a spin of the shaft and it kept accelerating.
He had shown it around town and was soon threatened by people and was told not to show it any longer. So he tossed the box and that was the end of that. My Grandfather told me this many times. But Im not certain that the box was the key, though he made it seem that way.
But this has had me going since I was a kid. And there was no big transformers, antenna, or crazy high voltage involved, at least no streamers or lightning. So I believe that it can be done on lower voltage scales and at variable freq, if necessary at all.
But I am intent on finding out what he had going there, whether it was in the box, or the motors were built a certain way.

So this is phase change with conservation of energy. Could happen if you conductor was wide enough and the field was strong enough.

    I want to try a resonant tank circuit but instead of just a plain old coil take an ac motor and load her down.  This should stabilize the inductance part and the capacitance will have to be a capacitor bank.  A small dc pulse should be enough to take care of any wave damping due to resistance of the tank.  No idea yet how to limit the current oscillating between motor and cap bank though.  Tesla often shows circuits where he mentions that the currents in the resonant circuit is thousands of times that of the supply current.   Need some kind of current and voltage sensing to disrupt the resonance and dump the power into some lightbulbs or something to get rid of the excess otherwise I will end up with a burnt out motor winding or a blown up capacitor bank.  Westinghouse found out about resonance trying to connect his alternators to transmission lines that had the right capacitance matched to the generator inductance as welll as the Colorado Springs utility suppliers

Well now you are talking my language. I have been interested in ac induction motors also since I read about the Peirce Arrow Tesla worked on. So in the situation you are pondering, could you not find a way to store the extra energy for use elsewhere? From what you wrote, it seems to be in line with my Gr. Grandfathers motors, as it went faster and faster, meaning that the power buildup was seemingly never ending. In many of Teslas setups, spark gaps seem to keep things at a certain level, other than the reasons for use of the spark gaps as he mostly claims.
Draining off some of the extra energy and storing it would be a way of not wasting a drop while still keeping things under control.
