Tesla Car and his nephew

[Bob Smith]

Correct me if I'm wrong, guys, but I am of the impression that each time the rotor's windings in a DC motor are energized (induction), followed by the magnetic field's collapse, we have CEMF, which is actually radiant energy. Contemporary motors are designed to kill the CEMF, are they not?
Might Tesla's motor have harnessed the influx of RE from the collapsing spikes/mag field?

In this way, the aether itself is our real battery, with an endless supply of RE. All we need to do is to disturb it in the proper way with an imbalance (spike), and have a means to allow its radiant energy to rush into the system to give us real power.

I remember reading about Tesla inserting the steel rods into his little power box in the Pierce Arrow. Makes me think of Doc Stiffler tuning his finely wound SEC coils with ferrite rods to ge the proper frequency for resonance to power the SEC.

I wonder if there's a link that can be made between the rods for frequency tuning and the rest of Tesla's setup. If the rods slid into coils, could they have provided enough power to get some induction going?  Maybe whatever voltage developed with rods and coils might've been passed into tubes for stepping up before going to the electric motor?

Is there any reason to believe Tesla did not use a Tesla switch with four large batteries to power the motor ?
The batteries also being recharged all the time by a radiant energy collector like all the connected metal sheets on the car,
with the frame as the virtual ground.

If connected the right way wouldn't an induction motor become a generator when the car is decelerating as well ?

Where is the info about this from Tesla himself ? Or is the story just a story told by Tesla's nephew ?

Was Tesla's nephew wise in the ways of Tesla ? As in did he understand Tesla's Tech ?

What was the net uphill verses downhill distance on the trip Tesla took ? Was it more uphill than down or more downhill than up ?

What is it that makes people think if this story was true, that there would be no batteries. Tesla used batteries a lot.

I have yet to see any "official" information about this Pierce Arrow experiment.

Tesla was a smart man and if the story is true he was determined not to show people actually how it worked.
So in my opinion all the things he was seen to do were probably distractions anyway to hide the true nature of his invention.
That's what i would have done.

...  There is also some controversy over whether he actually used the 70L7 tubes.

Hi e2matrix
Yes, according to at least one other account the 201A type were used, but they were of same order of magnitude in power handling capability as the 70L7.

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.

Hi forest,
Do you have link or any book references regarding the amplification inside the motor and its modifications?
Thanks
Mike

BTW, the Lost Science book, has some pretty interesting/intriguing presentations about Tesla and many others.

I also believe as Forest does. I think the ac induction motor was modified some way.

Being an AC motor, he most likely used the motor windings as the L in LC. but where was the C?  Bifilar wound motor?  ;]  If he had the motor windings in resonance, it should be extremely efficient.

Not sure. Just ideas.  ;]

I finally found something I had read a few years back about the possibility of Tesla using tubes in his "power box."  Not the most authoritative source, but it may shed light on some possibilities.  See:
