A Realistic Speculation of Tesla's EV Conversion of a Pierce-Arrow in 1931
I certainly can't say that I know what happened. But I'll speculate that Tesla's purchase of 12 radio tubes and some wire in a Buffalo, New York, electronics shop was to hide what really went inside his mysterious box: a bank of parallel capacitors precharged overnight at his hotel room with whatever voltage he needed to provide sufficient torque to run the A/C motor in his EV conversion of a 1931 Pierce-Arrow weighing in at over four thousand pounds. That's what my simulation suggests to me.
Two LMDs whose surges are thwarted by 6V Batteries
The remainder of the circuit merely supplies current dominating over voltage as the byproduct of a surge which can escalate towards infinite gain and at a rate which could become explosive if it were not for the six volt batteries acting as anchor weights on a 85% clocked duty cycle. Any voltage source is also a voltage regulator. Especially A/C voltage sources since they're already regulated as a sinewave. D/C voltage sources have no waveform. So, they tend to create surges (parasitic transients) more readily than do A/C voltage sources.
I wish I knew why simulators can exhibit parametric oscillations despite our lack of formal education on this topic for this is where 'overunity' and 'free energy' occur from. I have yet to see any instance that suggests otherwise.
It is this lack of information that leaves people to speculate, sometimes wildly, why free energy can exist at all. Certainly, the reactive nature of capacitors (in particular) suggest a reason for the birth of new terminology, such as the word: "radiant" energy.
Except for the stress which reactance imposes on a circuit's components, energy is truly free in that its ultimate source and goal is itself. In other words, energy comes from itself whenever it is synthesized and returns to itself whenever it decomposes. This would explain why energy can seemingly appear from out of nowhere or disappear into nowhere when in reality it doesn't have to go anywhere. It's already here and stays here, omnipresent, throughout all of Creation.
Decomposition must not be confused with thermodynamic losses for the latter is merely the transfer of energy from one location to another. Decomposition is not a transfer; it is a convergence of energy into a singularity reducing the quantity of energy available. Likewise, synthesis is a divergence out of singularities spawning multiplicities of energy.
So, energy is never created nor is it destroyed. It is always with us. But we must recognize a game of charade ensues whenever we consider the flexible nature to energy's quantity. This is mathematically modeled by the cardinal sets of infinite series designated by the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet: Aleph. Aleph allows for singular infinities becoming multiple entities in which each infinity is unique with its own identity.

I am slowly digesting your excellent work on the characteristics of the flat coil. You are to be commended on the thoroughness and rigour with which you have conducted your experiments and the level of detail and clarity with which you have documented them.
(One quibble: Your photographs of the HP VNA screen occasionally demonstrate camera shake, and are off-axis, indicating that an inexpensive tripod might be worth adding to your laboratory equipment. See also: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projec...oscope-camera/ and https://hackaday.com/2013/08/06/benc...oscilloscopes/ )
The cleanliness and elegance of your set-up is also superb. I have visited engineering laboratories at multi-billion dollar corporations which were less well kept than yours!
Your illustrations of the manner in which the primary and secondary coils simply will not resonate at identical frequencies is fascinating, and a phenomena which has not been well discussed in the material posted to this forum so far.
Some questions:
On this page: Flat Coil Impedance - Part 2 : VNA measurements | AMInnovations
You state that:
"It is also conjectured that the initiation of a displacement event requires a non-linear trigger within the system being tested whether that originates from the generator, the coils, or is stimulated as a response (pulled by) the load."
The phrase "non-linear trigger" seems to imply a transient voltage fluctuation (e.g as produced by a spark gap). Can you clarify whether this is what you intended to say?
Additionally, you speak repeatedly of a "displacement event", but have not (yet) explained what this might mean in practice.
It seems logical to assume that such a "displacement event" has previously been demonstrated in an Eric Dollard video.
One helpful way to illustrate your meaning might be to provide a link to a YouTube video showing this event. In the event you are not familiar with YouTube's interface, it is surprisingly easy to cite particular points in time for a given video.
By way of example, if I was interested in showing the part of the "Tesla's Longitudinal Dielectricity" video where Eric shows the effect on foil strips, 21:18 into the video, I would proceed as follows:
1) Navigate to the point in the video where this occurs
2) Click the "SHARE" text under the video, located to the right of the Thumbs Up / Thumbs Down
3) Check the box next to the text "Start at 21:18" (or any other desired time)
4) Copy-and-paste the generated video link:

Hi Adrian,
Quite understood that you've been busy, and looking forward to your new publications when they come!
To clarify, when you say displacement, I assume you are referring to displacement current.
A simple approach for measuring displacement current in condensers is presented here:
See also: https://physics.stackexchange.com/a/348620
Naturally, this assumes the "displacement current" of Maxwell is indeed what we want to measure. This may not necessarily be the case.
Your theoretical model of assembling a delicately orchestrated harmony and then smashing it to pieces with a lightning bolt in order to exploit theorised external corrective forces is very interesting.
I am not sure if this is consistent with how Tesla understood things, but that's no cause for discouragement. Either you're right or you're not, the experiments will tell soon enough.
When you say that "...the displacement event is so short as to be essentially un-measureable with common equipment, before transference takes over and dissipates the effect of the discharge as electric voltages and currents..." this would seem to imply the 'displacement event' is a non-electrical or perhaps even non-physical phenomena.
Have you already obtained experimental evidence for this conclusion, and if so, what did you find?
Measuring very high speed electrical transients, on the other hand, is much easier than it was in Tesla's day.
In fact, it seems unlikely that his original research would have been based on events which are too fast or too short to measure with modern equipment: today we can measure transients with picosecond duration, but generating them requires microwave-design style considerations where geometry and materials are concerned.
On the other hand, it seems unlikely the "brass and wood" approach of Tesla's day would have permitted similar speeds *assuming he was working with the same "stuff" in an electrical sense*.
Eric Dollard has referenced the Tesla mercury switch as the "ne plus ultra" of transient switching devices. Here is Tesla's patent: https://teslauniverse.com/nikola-tes...uit-controller
I am curious to hear more about your experiments with a vacuum tube in series with the wire. How do you suppose transference works? Why would the addition of a vacuum tube prolong the lifetime of a displacement event?
As to the subject of producing highly non-linear triggers:
Eric Dollard has frequently referenced the Steinmetz "Transients" chapter on lightning arrestors, which depicts a series of brass balls forming a distributed spark gap.
As it happens, one of the (modern) techniques for the production of very fast transient impulses is the Marx generator, which uses precisely the same geometry. See e.g http://przyrbwn.icm.edu.pl/APP/PDF/115/a115z604.pdf
Particularly when equipped with a pulse forming network (e.g a peaking capacitor) at the output these devices are capable of producing transients with 300ps rise times at repetition frequencies above 300Hz. For example: http://przyrbwn.icm.edu.pl/APP/PDF/115/a115z644.pdf
It has been observed by other experimenters that an erected Marx generator, when charged through inductances rather than resistances, is eerily similar to Eric Dollard's "analog computer".
However, even the fastest repetition rates achievable by Marx generators are likely well below that of Tesla's rotary mercury switch, even if they are likely able to produce sharper transients.Comment

Hi Adrian,
That is a very thorough explanation of your thoughts. Thank you for taking the time and effort to write it.
You seem to feel that there is something in nature that results in the hiding of displacement by default:
According to this theory, the only means of bringing about displacement events would be through the creation of circumstances which preclude transference.The mechanism of displacement is revealed in action when the continuity of the need of the circuit to re-balance to the steady state is disrupted or held-of, and cannot in the moment be addressed by the process of transference. In this case the mechanism of displacement is called-forth, and whose action on the form can be observed, and is usually characterised by an injection of additional energy required to initiate the re-balance (speed-up) the process of transference.
Does this not run contrary to the design principles of the Tesla Magnifying Transformer?
The TMT would seem to balance the electric and magnetic fields of induction not through the creation of transients but through the careful control of the circumstances under which those fields are created.
As a whole it seems that while the Tesla example of the DC dynamo and the railway tracks may demonstrate displacement, there is nothing about that example to suggest it describes the primary or only means of producing displacement.
All these things aside, I look forward to the results of your experiments!Comment

(1) INTRODUCTION
Presently, much discussion exists regarding the proliferation of harmonics in the electric utility system. Moreover, the susceptibility of this system to damage or destruction from a well-positioned nuclear E.M.P. is a subject of great concern.
Such problems are not necessarily intrinsic to the process of electric transmission and distribution, but only present themselves when certain configurations exist within the electric utility system. Paramount in any transmission or distribution system is that such system must be a closed system, that is, the electromagnetic boundary condition must be maintained to the highest practical degree. This assures that the entry or exit of extraneous electric forces is minimized.
Presently, with regard to the electric utility system, the electromagnetic boundary condition is being violated in two ways;
1) By the ubiquitous employment of Wye to Wye connected transmission and distribution transformers, and related load configuration.
2) Through the extension of a common neutral connection throughout the entire electric utility system.
The widespread and enforced adoption of these practices has rendered the electric utility system an open system, or in other words, an antenna system, one of unprecedented proportions. The consequences must be obvious.
It is the objective of the following series of engineering reports to re-establish a fundamental understanding of polyphase alternating current, then apply this understanding to the analysis of the situation as it exists today with regard to the electric utility system.
(2) THE ENGINEERING DILEMMA
Electrical engineering in the digital age has taken a turn into the abyss. The engineering foundation so well established through the efforts of Arthur Kennelly, Charles Steinmetz, and other notables, has been outright abandoned. Engineers have been replaced by software technicians, and accordingly the electric utility system has become a morass of harmonics, parasitic oscillations, and stray currents. This malady is presently being carried out with deliberation, and moreover, being made law.
(3) THE SITUATION, THEN AND NOW
Kennelly once remarked that a properly designed three phase power system contains no significant harmonics. This may have been true in the era in which Kennelly lived, but presently the proliferation of harmonics in the electric utility system is rampant. In the manner of Oliver Heaviside, one may ask; If harmonics are a problem, then why allow them to begin with. The child exclaims, "The Emperor wears no clothes"!
In the early electrical age, the principal customer loads were the incandescent lamp of Thomas Edison, and the induction motor of Nikola Tesla. Neither were a source of significant harmonics. What harmonic content did exist was neutralized by the Delta connection of apparatus windings.
The concurrent development of long distance telephone served as a check upon the harmonic content of the electric utility system. In this era the long lines were of open wire construction and utilized voice frequency transmission, both of which are susceptible to power system interference. This situation led to the establishment of an administrative agency to co-ordinate electromagnetic compatibility between power and communication companies.
(4) THE GENESIS OF THE "HARMONIC PROBLEM"
Two principal factors led to the harmonic situation as it exists today in the electric utility system. One was the gradual adoption of a Wye connection of apparatus windings and load configurations, another was the increasing use of fluorescent lighting as a replacement for incandescent lighting.
The general use of a Wye connected transformer configuration grew out of the need to expand the load capacity of existing distribution systems to meet the ever-increasing demand for electric light and power. Delta to Wye system conversion allowed for a 173 percent increase in capacity while retaining the original transformers. The only additional requirement in this conversion is the system-wide installation of a fourth conductor, or system neutral. An additional benefit derived from the neutral was that the system could be referenced to Earth potential without the need for auxiliary apparatus, as was necessary in a Delta connected system.
The dominance of the Wye connected load grew out of the proliferation of large office complexes. The enormity of their lighting systems required a shift from the Edison three wire system to a Wye connected four wire configuration, this in order to provide a good phase balance to the electric utility providing the power for illumination. A significant penalty for this conversion is that while the Edison system suppresses the harmonics, the Wye system reinforces the harmonics.
The large-scale generation of harmonics began when the fluorescent lamp replaced the incandescent lamp in these large office complexes. The fluorescent lamp and its reactance ballast are a prodigious source of troublesome harmonics. Ultimately such a load should be Delta connected in order to suppress the proliferation of these harmonics into the electric utility system. However, such connection requires two pole rather than one pole switching and circuit protection devices, which increases the cost of installation.
In the electric age the primary windings of the distribution transformers supplying electric power to these lighting systems were typically Delta connected. This prevented entry of the harmonics into the electric utility system. The penalty was to be increased transformer heating.
(5) WYE CONNECTION OF TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS
The widespread adoption of Wye connected electric utility systems can be attributed to the efforts of the rural electrification administration, R.E.A. Here the objective was to significantly reduce the cost of delivering electric power to the more remote areas of the United States. Through the employment of the higher transmission voltages for the purpose of distribution, the "copper" cost was greatly reduced. Because no transformer was required to step down this transmission voltage to a distribution voltage, the cost of a distribution substation was obviated. The penalty for this practice was that the transmission system must also be Wye connected.
Another cost savings measure adopted by the R.E.A. program was the implementation of a multiple grounded neutral throughout the entire system. This neutral was made common to both the high side and low side of the distribution transformer, effectively bypassing the transformer. This practice significantly reduced the insulation requirements on an otherwise high voltage system. The penalty for this practice is the exposure of the customer to primary neutral transients, and difficulty in ground fault protection.
The practices instituted by the R.E.A. program significantly enhanced the ability of the resulting electric utility system to interfere with other services. Inevitably, what saved the power company money cost the phone company money, and endangered the customer.Last edited by Aaron; 02-06-2019, 07:06 AM.SUPPORT ERIC DOLLARD'S WORK AT EPD LABORATORIES, INC.

NVE-1, cont.
(6) THE ELECTRIC UTILITY IN THE ELECTRONIC AGE
As society moved from the electrical age into the electronic age the situation of the electric utility system began to deteriorate. In the electronic age an ever-increasing proportion of the load presented to the electric utility system was to involve the conversion between the alternating current used for light and power and the direct current used for electronic devices. The conversion between A.C. and D.C., rectifiers and inverters, is verily a condition of "forcing a square peg into a round hole". Accordingly, this process engenders a plurality of troublesome transients, particularly those associated with the silicon-controlled rectifier (S.C.R.), which ultimately spelled disaster for the electric utility system.
The harmonic malady was propelled forward by a shift in reasoning, this from the established viewpoint of electric transmission as an electromagnetic boundary condition (Maxwell-Heaviside), to the modernistic viewpoint of electric transmission as an electronic current (Lorentz-Einstein). In the modern viewpoint electricity was no longer propagation in the space enclosed by the transmission conductors, but the notion is that electricity is propagated within the transmission conductors themselves. Accordingly, in this view, the space surrounding the transmission conductors is void of any electrical activity. This mindset has made impossible any understanding of electric transmission and has sent electrical engineering back into its dark ages when electricity was regarded as a material substance.
(7) THE ELECTRIC UTILITY IN THE DIGITAL AGE
The electric utility in the digital age has arrived at a situation where all deleterious factors have merged into a common motive. Nikola Tesla would say "Commercial Enterprise has out-run technical competence".
The vanguard is the ubiquitous eradication of the Delta connection of apparatus windings and load configurations. The entire electric utility system is undergoing a retrograde conversion, from what was an interlocked triple phase system, into a trio of independent singe phase systems. Moreover, the primary and secondary windings of all transmission and distribution transformers are being bonded together at their neutral points. This effort effectively bypasses the transformers, hence creating an extensive metallic pathway for the propagation of harmonics, oscillations, and disruptive transients.
In this digital age the load presented to the electric utility system is of a disruptive discharge nature. All contemporary power conversion methodologies employ the integration of switching transients in the conversion process between the utility system alternating current and the electronic (silicon) device direct current. In general, a true A.C. load is becoming non-existent.
It is the intrinsic nature of such transient waveforms to excite oscillations into the electric field surrounding the various transmission and distribution structures. These in turn intensify the already problematic harmonic waveforms. Moreover, the interaction of these electric oscillations with the semi-conductor devices results in a barrage of spurious frequencies. The plurality of these parasitic oscillations tend to merge into a unified oscillation through the common neutral connection, giving the ability to distribute interference on an unprecedented level. This situation alludes to electronic warfare, where consumer devices of foreign manufacture can be regarded as a "Trojan Horse".
It has become evident to many that the aforementioned condition has created an unprecedented level of radio interference, particularly in the A.M. broadcast band. However, unlike the era of long distance telephone, no administrative agency exists to ensure electromagnetic compatibility in this digital age.
(8) EPILOGUE
It is important to recognize that the ultimate root of the problem here defined is sociological, not technological. The situation today resembles in many ways that which existed at the onset of the dark ages, when the first theory of relatively announced that the Earth is the center of the universe, a notion brutally enforced by the corporate church.
Accordingly, any attempt toward remediation of the electric utility situation will be met with fierce opposition and nothing will change for the better. Such is the fate of the human species, it is written.

Hi Marcus,
I feel that the fundamental principles and mechanisms of nature can be considered to be like layers of an onion. As each outer layer of the onion is discovered, explored, and understood it can be peeled back to reveal more fundamental inner workings at a deeper level. All the layers of the onion are in play all of the time right down to the core, and each successive outer layer is a product of all the inner layers that went before it. In this analogy transference is the outer most layer of the onion, and displacement is the next inner layer. In order to reveal the principles and mechanisms of displacement it is first necessary to have a good working understanding of transference, and then to be able to find ways to peel back transference.Originally posted by Marcus Neuhof View Post
For example, the theory of quantum mechanics provides a more thorough and encompassing theory of the microscopic world and how this influences macroscopic events, but is not readily observable or measureable in the macroscopic world. Classical mechanics is easily observable and measureable in the macroscopic world but is unable to adequately account for the microscopic world. Both theories are correct within their scope, where classical mechanics is the outer layer of the onion, and quantum mechanics the layer inside that, and doubtless there are other layers within that that are yet to be discovered.
As per the layers of the onion, we cannot create displacement as it is already in play and acting within the system, we can only reveal its action under conditions where the outer layer of transference is not able to meet, balance, and resolve the external event, whereupon a deeper layer with a more fundamental mechanism must be called upon in order to assist meeting the required need of the system. By creating circumstances and conditions within the experiment which cannot be directly balanced through transference we are able to observe phenomena and mechanisms due to a deeper layer of the onion. In the case of displacement, by peeling back the outer layer of transference just for a moment, whereupon equilibrium is re-established and we observe transference again as the normal mechanism of transfer of electric power.According to this theory, the only means of bringing about displacement events would be through the creation of circumstances which preclude transference.
Does this not run contrary to the design principles of the Tesla Magnifying Transformer?
The TMT would seem to balance the electric and magnetic fields of induction not through the creation of transients but through the careful control of the circumstances under which those fields are created.Comment

TMT After Spark Gap Quenches
To go along with what Adrian just said, the scientific papers published by the Corum brothers do an excellent job of describing the unique phenomenon occurring in the secondary when the spark quenches. I attached a few PDF documents of the Corum brother's published work for those of you who are looking for a technical document which describes the way these coils work and what is unique and unexplored about their operation.

Instrumentation that requires an ultra low noise source can be made from
tube amp. Some transistor amps will also work. Both are run in an ultra linear mode. Both require filtering know how. The mosfet Switch mode are plentiful and efficient but are noise ridden. The noise is spurious.
A video of tube amplifier putting out 24V can power 19.5 watts.
