A wire is run from the metal plate to one side of a capacitor and a second wire goes from the ground plate to the other side of the capacitor.
All the evidence points to the turbine-shaped Unipolar Dynamo as being Tesla's first design for a machine that can continue to produce electricity after being disconnected from an outside source of power.
Has anyone ever built a full scale model that puts out some real power? He obtained around three hundred patents worldwide for his inventions and some are hidden in patent archives.
It is sufficient at this time to say that I have performed experiments and obtained results from which I am able to calculate what the mechanism may be expected to perform.
Edison eventually had to kowtow to Tesla's ideas, because alternating currents could travel much further than direct current and did not require as many sub-stations to be built.
The piston B is secured to a piston rod H which works in suitable stuffing boxes in the heads of the cylinder A.
This is free energy in the sense that you do not have to pay for it except the capital cost of the device.
Although, there is no obvious reason to generate kilo watts of power through simple circuitry.
Description: Robitaille released under the open source license his patent covering this type of electrical machine.
