Does anyone have any insight into Tesla's car or Moray's box? I'm guessing they were working on similar principles. I know the construction of the parts was different, though. Supposedly Moray's box contained chambers with some kind of granular material that is speculated might have been slightly radioactive in nature (though I'm not convinced of this). All i know is that they say the chambers contained what he called "valves" and that they behaved like some kind of semi-conductor. Regarding Tesla's car, there is also an account floating around about a relative or friend that got a chance to ride with Tesla in the car once. The account states that Tesla had brought a box with some kind of tubes with him and plugged the box into the dashboard of the car. The tubes were believed to be the primary source of power. He had been working on the box in his hotel room before bringing it to the car. The car was silent in operation.
I am seriously new at electricity and electronics, but from everything I've learned, an LC circuit resonates based on the characteristics of the capacitor. If you look at Tesla's patent on Apparatus for the Utilization of Radiant Energy, he charges a capacitor before discharging it to do whatever he wants with it. Now since every circuit has a certain natural resonance, I wondered if the capacitor is actually gaining the bulk of its charge based on cosmic rays or em waves or scalar waves which interact with the resonant frequency of the circuit. I think I'm wrong on this but I really dont know what causes Tesla's circuit to be so weak so I'm posing this thought for feedback.
The reason I bring up that issue is this: isn't there a tremendous amount of total energy in the form of EM and cosmic rays everywhere? Isn't the problem of harvesting it that any method we normally use is only picking up a very narrow band of that energy? So if we could devise a way to pick up a wide band or all of it, we'd have more energy than we can fathom.
Consider that Tesla's car may have had an antenna on it (possibly receiving cosmic energy?). And consider that Moray's device is reported to have put out 50,000 WATTS with no input!! 50,000 watts is crazy! That sounds like the type of number one might predict if he had indeed found a way to harness nearly all of the cosmic or em waves passing that region of space.
Also, here's another question to put a different perspective on things: Can any light be gleaned by studying how earth batteries work? Based on strange accounts of Nathan Stubblefields work and his patents, he apparently figured out how to use large amounts of energy in some ways that would have appeared almost impossible to believe because the mechanisms were so peculiar. Since earth batteries are brewing natural currents straight from a dielectric, is there something going on here that can help understand what's happening when a circuit picks up em or scalar energy?
He had both a large antenna and two smaller antennas that he inserted into the box. He was indeed receiving something. In this article
"Experiments with Alternate Currents of High Potential and High Frequency" by Nikola Tesla ... one can see He indeed was receiving but that something was the thin sheet that developed in between two in (smaller antennas) and a much larger antenna but only larger in the sense of surface area not mass. Equal mass. So that his special oil filled Transformer wouldn't be out of balance. In the article it goes into how he could shape the static field that formed between the source (larger surface area compared to the smaller) and in (smaller) in.
If one reads about what happens in the event you would see that the field gets more intense as it is flowing from the source to the much smaller surface area in. In effect being able to scoop up more charges as it enters the smaller in. This energy is static in nature so there needs to be another inlet (other small inlet) that one could pull from the stream of charges that are cycled into the device as it runs on demand. Like a y connection from the source and each connecting to the smaller antennas. With one having the load in between. Of course the load will have to be designed for high voltage or modified to have that capability With a better voltage breakdown properties. The last requirement is that the load will be running full throttle and needs to have enough cooling built in or added on.
In Tesla's case he added fan blades to the not used end on the motor he used in the pierce arrow and he might have added a pulser circuit after the load to regulate the charges through the load. Hence all the tubes on the box.
If you do one thing you need to read all of that article I referenced to you. Once you start to see that he figured out how to scoop charges through a cycle or stream and not deplete the area of charges you will start to understand his methods after wardencliff or went back to after wardencliff.
It would be interesting to see if these thin sheets would cut through the air like wings on a plane. You could have a large antenna in between two smaller outside wingtip antennas. Hmmm....
You also need to pay attention to shielding and since he talks about static shielding in the paper I suggest it was used heavily around and after the source to control the flow and direct it the way he wanted. Tesla did in fact design coax as well or a static version. In the article it talks about the shielding extending into the oil and not coming to close to the wires connections.
