DIY Tesla Switch Guide

Hello,
there is nothing to say against a "Tesla - XYZ"  trademark.
Not even if such a Tesla switch did not know to him.
But if this Tradmark existed since 1984,
there were 25 years of time to plan something to
that the "boys" do not have to construct with "unworkable circuits",
which takes the faith to the "free energy".
If you are the man here, that have the Tesla Switch protected:
You can help people build something decent

gyulasun - that makes sense. I'm looking at the published
schematic though and it says to use the 1N914.   ??

SG3524 - I'll get it right one of these days

I'm going to go ahead and prove the original circuit that
I posted wrong before just giving up on it - what kind of
practice would it be to put all that work into releasing
bogus information? A practical joke?

I'm referring to the fact that I have not seen a working
or non-working construct of this circuit. Perhaps if it
doesn't work they ought to re-publish or officially denounce
themselves as trixters. I currently trust that they are
a lot more intelligent with electronics that I am, and
drew it precicely the way it ought to be built.

Groundloop - I hope that your build will prove successful;
I imagine that you're putting a lot of work into it and
enjoy reading your posts - don't get the idea that I'm
working against you by using my own layperson methods.

In reference to the Mueller document, figure T-7, there
is a -single- timer input. What I need to do is figure
out what is needed to supply this with appropriate on-off
signals without changing the layout in any way.

I should be able to build the circuit as shown, and then
plug in the timer as an accessory without hardwiring it
into the system, no?

@geotron,

As I said, my goal is to test the circuit Mr. Bedini did make.
It is not a problem for me what other people want to build and test.

If you want to use just one signal input then it may be easier to just use a signal generator
or a 555 timer (with a switching transistor added) to control you circuit.

@geotron

In the schematic you refer to and it includes the 1N914, the point is:
WHERE the 1N914 diodes are connected and WHERE the 30A diodes are connected.

The 1N914s are in parallel with the audio transformers' secondary (8 Ohm) coils,  ok?  Here there are surely currents that they can handle safely.

The 30 Amper diodes are in series with the batteries where the high current flow, depending on the batteries AmperHour capacity.

So two different routes for currents of highly different amplitudes, ok?

Regarding your pondering on whether the published circuits are bogus information or not, well, this can be always a question till a correct replication proves otherwise. I would not suppose John Bedini released bogus info, (maybe not the full info, this latter due to whatever reason).
However you surely read Pese's notices on the circuit problems I tried to answer for him,  I consider these problems as misprints in the schematics.
You may also wish to 'peep' into the energetic.com forum I gave a link earlier where the Tesla switch has been discussed for some time and even you could ask questions there too.

Hmm - a signal generator - interesting. I'll have to look up
some information on those.

Concerning the 555 timer, this is a diagram I found in an
ebook a while back - I'll have to track down where exactly
it appeared, but how does it look?

The various components are not labeled which gives me pause,
but perhaps it is a fairly standard arrangement that I could
use as a starting point...

Then there's the CD4011 version by Louis Pollaehn - would
this one work as well with figure T-7?
