ABSTRACT
In this seminar we will know about Tesla and his various inventions he was the greatest inventor of his
time he has more than 300 patents in his name he gave very strong battle with Thomas Alva Edison
his inventions are very so many but in this seminar report I am going to discuss about some inventions
which are unused like earthquake machine which was actually an ac oscillator generator this caused
the earthquake while it was running and next the though camera was invented this was an theoretic
patent which was not build perfectly but he believed that this would work then any one could see any
bodies thoughts on a screen next the wireless was the most popular and most used inventions from the
Nikola Tesla this include 3 types with varying in range the first one was Tesla coil by using this the
wireless power could be transferred within very small distance and net magnifying transmitter was
used to transmit the power for few meters long then the warden cliff tower built he stated that by using
this we could transmit the power for very large distances he dreamed that one day he wanted to power
the whole globe wirelessly by using those warden cliff tower next invention he invented was bladeless
turbine this works with bounty layer effect in this the compressed air rotates the motor without the
blades this has an very high effective motors spinning speeds net invention is the aerial transportation
in this the stated the way for travelling in air with vertical takeoff and landing methods in this an air
vehicle can take off from the place without having runways by working as an helicopter while flying
from an certain position and converting as an airplane after take off this can again land at an place
vertically by converting it back to an helicopter the next invention he invented was death beam this is
an very powerful weapon which was given as an idea by Nikola Tesla to USA during the world war
this can takedown the air flying vehicles like airplanes from miles away this uses very high power so
the power needed to make this weapon work was not possible during that time so this weapon was
never used Tesla believed that this weapon could stop the world war because this helps to defend the
countries from the enemies next the invention that was invented by Nikola Tesla was Tesla valve this
helps in making the air flow in only one way this has no moving parts and great efficiencies this is
used in many places like jet engines micro valves this are the some of the inventions that are discussed
in this seminar report this is the brief explanation about the content.

17JN1A0407 NIKOLA TESLA AND HIS UNUSED INVENTIONS
BIOGRAPHY OF NIKOLAS TESLA

Nikolas Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer,
and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating
current (AC) electricity supply system.
Fig 1.Nikola Tesla
Born and raised in the Austrian Empire, Tesla studied engineering and physics in the 1870s
without receiving a degree, gaining practical experience in the early 1880s working
in telephony and at Continental Edison in the new electric power industry. In 1884 he
emigrated to the United States, where he became a naturalized citizen. He worked for a short
time at the Edison Machine Works in New York City before he struck out on his own. With
the help of partners to finance and market his ideas, Tesla set up laboratories and companies in
New York to develop a range of electrical and mechanical devices. His alternating
current (AC) induction motor and related polyphase AC patents, licensed by Westinghouse
Electric in 1888, earned him a considerable amount of money and became the cornerstone of
the polyphase system which that company eventually marketed.
Attempting to develop inventions he could patent and market, Tesla conducted a range of
experiments with mechanical oscillators/generators, electrical discharge tubes, and early X-ray
imaging. He also built a wireless-controlled boat, one of the first-ever exhibited. Tesla became
well known as an inventor and demonstrated his achievements to celebrities and wealthy
patrons at his lab, and was noted for his showmanship at public lectures. Throughout the
1890s, Tesla pursued his ideas for wireless lighting and worldwide wireless electric power
distribution in his high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments in New York and Colorado
Springs. In 1893, he made pronouncements on the possibility of wireless communication with
SREE VENKATESHWARA COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Page 1
his devices. Tesla tried to put these ideas to practical use in his unfinished Wardenclyffe
Tower project, an intercontinental wireless communication and power transmitter, but ran out
of funding before he could complete it.
After Wardenclyffe, Tesla experimented with a series of inventions in the 1910s and 1920s
with varying degrees of success. Having spent most of his money, Tesla lived in a series of
New York hotels, leaving behind unpaid bills. He died in New York City in January
1943. Tesla's work fell into relative obscurity following his death, until 1960, when
the General Conference on Weights and Measures named the SI unit of magnetic flux
density the tesla in his honor. There has been a resurgence in popular interest in Tesla since
the 1990s.
Nikola Tesla was born an ethnic Serb in the village of Smiljan, within the Military Frontier, in
the Austrian Empire (present day Croatia), on 10 July [O.S. 28 June] 1856. His father, Milutin
Tesla (1819–1879), was an Eastern Orthodox priest. Tesla's mother, Đuka Mandić (1822–
1892), whose father was also an Orthodox priest, had a talent for making home craft tools and
mechanical appliances and the ability to memorize Serbian epic poems. Đuka had never
received a formal education. Tesla credited his eidetic memory and creative abilities to his
mother's genetics and influence. Tesla's progenitors were from western Serbia, near
Montenegro.
Tesla was the fourth of five children. He had three sisters, Milka, Angelina, and Marica, and
an older brother named Dane, who was killed in a horse riding accident when Tesla was aged
five. In 1861, Tesla attended primary school in Smiljan where he studied German, arithmetic,
and religion. In 1862, the Tesla family moved to the nearby Gospic, where Tesla's father
worked as parish priest. Nikola completed primary school, followed by middle school. In
1870, Tesla moved to Karlovac to attend high school at the Higher Real Gymnasium where
the classes were held in German, as it was usual throughout schools within the Austro-
Hungarian Military Frontier.
tesla later wrote that he became interested in demonstrations of electricity by his physics
professor. Tesla noted that these demonstrations of this "mysterious phenomena" made him
want "to know more of this wonderful force". Tesla was able to perform integral calculus in
his head, which prompted his teachers to believe that he was cheating. He finished a four-year
term in three years, graduating in 1873.
In 1873, Tesla returned to Smiljan. Shortly after he arrived, he contracted cholera, was
bedridden for nine months and was near death multiple times. In a moment of despair, Tesla's
father (who had originally wanted him to enter the priesthood), promised to send him to the
best engineering school if he recovered from the illness.
In 1874, Tesla evaded conscription into the Austro-Hungarian Army in Smiljan by running
away southeast of Lika to Tomingaj, near Gračac. There he explored the mountains wearing
hunter's garb. Tesla said that this contact with nature made him stronger, both physically and
mentally. He read many books while in Tomingaj and later said that Mark Twain's works had
helped him to miraculously recover from his earlier illness.
In 1875, Tesla enrolled at the Imperial-Royal Technical College in Graz on a Military Frontier
scholarship. During his first year, Tesla never missed a lecture, earned the highest grades
possible, passed nine exams (nearly twice as many as required), started a Serb cultural
club, and even received a letter of commendation from the dean of the technical faculty to his
father, which stated, "Your son is a star of first rank." At Graz, Tesla was fascinated by the
detailed lectures on electricity presented by Professor Jakob Pöschl.
Tesla claimed that he worked from 3 a.m. to 11 p.m., no Sundays or holidays excepted. He
was "mortified when [his] father made light of [those] hard won honors." After his father's
death in 1879, Tesla found a package of letters from his professors to his father, warning that
unless he were removed from the school, Tesla would di diee through overwork. At the end of his
second year, Tesla lost his scholarship and became addicted to gambling. During his third
year, Tesla gambled away his allowance and his tuition money, later gambling back his initial
losses and returning the balance tto
o his family. Tesla said that he "conquered [his] passion then
and there," but later in the United States, he was again known to play billiards. When
examination time came, Tesla was unprepared and asked for an extension to study, but was
denied. He did nott receive grades for the last semester of the third year and he never graduated
from college.
In December 1878, Tesla left Graz and severed all relations with his family to hide the fact
that he dropped out of college. His friends thought that he had drowned ed in the nearby Mur
River. Tesla moved to Maribor
Maribor,, where he worked as a draftsman for 60 florins per month. He
spent his spare time playing cards with local men on the streets.
In March 1879, Tesla's father went to Maribor to beg his son to return home, but b he
refused. Nikola suffered a nervous breakdown around the same time. On 24 March 1879,
Tesla was returned to Gospić under police guard for not having a residence permit.
On 17 April 1879, Milutin Tesla died at the age of 60 after contracting an unspecified
unspeci
illness. Some sources say that he died of a stroke. During that year, Tesla taught a large class
of students in his old school in Gospic.
In January 1880, two of Tesla's uncles put together enough money to help him leave Gospić
for Prague, where he wass to study. He arrived too late to enroll at Charles-Ferdinand
Charles
University;; he had never studied Greek, a required subject; and he was illiterate in Czech,
another required subject. Tesla did, however, attend lectures in philosophy at the university as
an auditor
uditor but he did not receive grades for the courses.

Fig 2.Edision Company

In 1882, Tivadar Puskás got Tesla another job in Paris with the Continental Edison
Company. Tesla began working in what was then a brand new industry, installing indoor
incandescent lighting citywide in the form of electric power utility. The company had several
subdivisions and Tesla worked at the Société Electrique Edison, the division in the Ivry-sur-
Seine suburb of Paris in charge of installing the lighting system. There he gained a great deal
of practical experience in electrical engineering. Management took notice of his advanced
knowledge in engineering and physics and soon had him designing and building improved
versions of generating dynamos and motors. They also sent him on to troubleshoot
engineering problems at other Edison utilities being built around France and in Germany.
MOVE TO UNITED STATES
In 1884, Edison manager Charles Batchelor, who had been overseeing the Paris installation,
was brought back to the United States to manage the Edison Machine Works, a manufacturing
division situated in New York City, and asked that Tesla be brought to the United States as
well. In June 1884, Tesla emigrated and began working almost immediately at the Machine
Works on Manhattan's Lower East Side, an overcrowded shop with a workforce of several
hundred machinists, laborers, managing staff, and 20 "field engineers" struggling with the task
of building the large electric utility in that city. As in Paris, Tesla was working on
troubleshooting installations and improving generators. Historian W. Bernard Carlson notes
Tesla may have met company founder Thomas Edison only a couple of times. One of those
times was noted in Tesla's autobiography where, after staying up all night repairing the
damaged dynamos on the ocean liner SS Oregon, he ran into Batchelor and Edison, who made
a quip about their "Parisian" being out all night. After Tesla told them he had been up all night
fixing the Oregon Edison commented to Batchelor that "this is a damned good man". One of
the projects given to Tesla was to develop an arc lamp-based street lighting system. Arc
lighting was the most popular type of street lighting but it required high voltages and was
incompatible with the Edison low-voltage incandescent system, causing the company to lose
contracts in some cities. Tesla's designs were never put into production, possibly because of
technical improvements in incandescent street lighting or because of an installation deal that
Edison made with an arc lighting company.
Tesla had been working at the Machine Works for a total of six months when he quit. What
event precipitated his leaving is unclear. It may have been over a bonus he did not receive,
either for redesigning generators or for the arc lighting system that was shelved. Tesla had
previous run-ins with the Edison company over unpaid bonuses he believed he had earned. In
his autobiography, Tesla stated the manager of the Edison Machine Works offered a $50,000
bonus to design "twenty-four different types of standard machines" "but it turned out to be a
practical joke". Later versions of this story have Thomas Edison himself offering and then
reneging on the deal, quipping "Tesla, you don't understand our American humor". The size of
the bonus in either story has been noted as odd since Machine Works manager Batchelor was
stingy with pay and the company did not have that amount of cash (equivalent to $12 million
today) on hand.[57] Tesla's diary contains just one comment on what happened at the end of his
employment, a note he scrawled across the two pages covering 7 December 1884, to 4 January
1885, saying "Good by to the Edison Machine Works".

TESLA ELECTRIC LIGHT & MANUFACTURING

Soon after leaving the Edison company, Tesla was working on patenting an arc lighting
system, possibly the same one he had developed at Edison. In March 1885, he met with patent
attorney Lemuel W. Serrell, the same attorney used by Edison, to obtain help with submitting
the patents. Serrell introduced Tesla to two businessmen, Robert Lane and Benjamin Vail,
who agreed to finance an arc lighting manufacturing and utility company in Tesla's name,
the Tesla Electric Light & Manufacturing. Tesla worked for the rest of the year obtaining the
patents that included an improved DC generator, the first patents issued to Tesla in the US,
and building and installing the system in Rahway, New Jersey. Tesla's new system gained
notice in the technical press, which commented on its advanced features.
Company directors formed a new utility company, abandoning Tesla's company and leaving
the inventor penniless. Tesla even lost control of the patents he had generated, since he had
assigned them to the company in exchange for stock. He had to work at various electrical
repair jobs and as a ditch digger for $2 per day. Later in life Tesla recounted that part of 1886
as a time of hardship, writing "My high education in various branches of science, mechanics
and literature seemed to me like a mockery".
NEW YORK LABORATORIES

The money Tesla made from licensing his AC patents made him independently wealthy and
gave him the time and funds to pursue his own interests. In 1889, Tesla moved out of the
Liberty Street shop Peck and Brown had rented and for the next dozen years working out of a
series of workshop/laboratory spaces in Manhattan. These included a lab at 175 Grand Street
(1889–1892), the fourth floor of 33–35 South Fifth Avenue (1892–1895), and sixth and
seventh floors of 46 & 48 East Houston Street (1895–1902). Tesla and his hired staff
conducted some of his most significant work in these workshops.
On 30 July 1891, aged 35, Tesla became a naturalized citizen of the United States. In the same
year, he patented his Tesla coil.
LAB FIRE
In the early morning hours of 13 March 1895, the South Fifth Avenue building that housed
Tesla's lab caught fire. It started in the basement of the building and was so intense Tesla's
4th-floor lab burned and collapsed into the second floor. The fire not only set back Tesla's
ongoing projects, but it also destroyed a collection of early notes and research material,
models, and demonstration pieces, including many that had been exhibited at the 1893 Worlds
Colombian Exposition. Tesla told The New York Times "I am in too much grief to talk. What
can I say?" After the fire Tesla moved to 46 & 48 East Houston Street and rebuilt his lab on
the 6th and 7th floors.
Tesla won numerous medals and awards over this time. They include:

 Grand Officer of the Order of St. Sava (Serbia, 1892)

 Elliott Cresson Medal (Franklin Institute, USA, 1894)
 Grand Cross of the Order of Prince Danilo I (Montenegro, 1895)
 AIEE Edison Medal (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, USA, 1917)
 Grand Cross of the Order of St. Sava (Yugoslavia, 1926)
 Cross Cross of the Order of the Yugoslav Crown (Yugoslavia, 1931)
 John Scott Medal (Franklin Institute & Philadelphia City Council, USA, 1934)
 Grand Cross of the Order of the White Lion (Czechoslovakia, 1937)
 Medal of the University of Paris (Paris, France, 1937)
 The Medal of the University St. Clement of Ochrida (Sofia, Bulgaria, 1939)
LIVING CIRCUMSTANCES
Tesla lived at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City from 1900 and ran up a large bill. He
moved to the St. Regis Hotel in 1922 and followed a pattern from then on of moving to a
different hotel every few years and leaving unpaid bills behind.
Tesla moved to the Hotel New Yorker in 1934. At this time Westinghouse Electric &
Manufacturing Company began paying him $125 per month in addition to paying his rent.
Accounts of how this came about vary. Several sources claim that Westinghouse was
concerned, or possibly warned, about potential bad publicity arising from the impoverished
conditions in which their former star inventor was living. The payment has been described as
being couched as a "consulting fee" to get around Tesla's aversion to accepting charity. Tesla
biographer Marc Seifer described the Westinghouse payments as a type of "unspecified
settlement". In any case, Westinghouse provided the funds for Tesla for the rest of his life. On
7 January 1943, at the age of 86, Tesla died alone in Room 3327 of the Hotel New Yorker. His
body was later found by maid Alice Monaghan after she had entered Tesla's room, ignoring
the "do not disturb" sign that Tesla had placed on his door two days earlier. Assistant medical
examiner H.W. Wembley examined the body and ruled that the cause of death had
been coronary thrombosis.
Two days later the Federal Bureau of Investigation ordered the Alien Property Custodian to seize
Tesla's belongings. John G. Trump, a professor at M.I.T. and a well-known electrical engineer serving
as a technical aide to the National Defense Research Committee, was called in to analyze the Tesla
items, which were being held in custody. After a three-day investigation, Trump's report concluded that
there was nothing which would constitute a hazard in unfriendly hands
APPEARNCE
Tesla was 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m) tall and weighed 142 pounds (64 kg), with almost no
weight variance from 1888 to about 1926. His appearance was described by newspaper
editor Arthur Brisbane as "almost the tallest, almost the thinnest and certainly the most serious
man who goes to Delmonico's regularly". He was an elegant, stylish figure in New York City,
meticulous in his grooming, clothing, and regimented in his daily activities, an appearance he
maintained so as to further his business relationships. He was also described as having light
eyes, "very big hands", and "remarkably big" thumbs.

EIDETIC MEMORY
Tesla read many works, memorizing complete books, and supposedly possessed
a photographic memory. He was a polyglot, speaking eight languages: Serbo-Croatian, Czech,
English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, and Latin. Tesla related in his autobiography that
he experienced detailed moments of inspiration.
RELATIONSHIPS
Tesla was a lifelong bachelor, who had once explained that his chastity was very helpful to his
scientific abilities.
Tesla was asocial and prone to seclude himself with his work. However when he did engage in social
life, many people spoke very positively and admiringly of Tesla. Robert Underwood Johnson described
him as attaining a "distinguished sweetness, sincerity, modesty, refinement, generosity, and force". His
secretary, Dorothy Skerrit, wrote: "his genial smile and nobility of bearing always denoted the
gentlemanly characteristics that were so ingrained in his soul". Tesla's friend, Julian Hawthorne, wrote,
"seldom did one meet a scientist or engineer who was also a poet, a philosopher, an appreciator of fine
music, a linguist, and a connoisseur of food and drink.
Tesla was a great genius who dedicated his life for science discoveries.

UNUSED INVENTIONS OF NIKOLAS TESLA

1. EARTHQUAKE MACHINE
Tesla's electro-mechanical oscillator is a steam-powered electric generator patented
by Nikola Tesla in 1893. Later in life Tesla claimed one version of the oscillator caused an
earthquake in New York City in 1898, gaining it the popular culture title "Tesla's earthquake
machine".
Tesla's oscillator is a reciprocating electricity generator. Steam would be forced into the
oscillator, and exit through a series of ports, pushing a piston up and down that was attached to
an armature, causing it to vibrate up and down at high speed, producing electricity. The
casing's upper chamber had to withstand pressures of 400 psi and temperatures exceeding 200
°C. Some versions used air trapped behind the piston as an "air spring", increasing efficiency.
Another variation used electromagnets to control the frequency of the piston's oscillation.
Tesla developed many versions of the oscillator and looked on it as a possible replacement for
inefficient reciprocating steam engines used to turn generators, but it was superseded by the
development of highly efficient steam turbines. Tesla also used the highly regular tunable
oscillation of the device to set frequency in his high frequency electrical and wireless
transmission experiments. There are also claims it had a physiological effect on people
subjected to its vibrations in that it acted as a laxative causing people to immediately run to the
bathroom afterwards.
EARTHQUAKE CLAIM
In 1935 at his annual birthday party/press meeting a 79-year-old Tesla related a story where he
claimed a version of his mechanical oscillator caused extreme vibrations in structures and
even an earthquake in downtown New York City. Reporter John J. O'Neill's biography of
Nikola Tesla includes a version of this story (date of the telling not given).
One version of the story has Tesla experimenting with a small version of his mechanical
oscillator at his laboratory on 46 East Houston Street near the Manhattan neighborhood
of SoHo. Tesla said the oscillator was around 7 inches (18 cm) long and weighing one or two
pounds, something "you could put in your overcoat pocket". At one point while experimenting
with the oscillator, he alleged it generated a resonance in several buildings, causing complaints
to the police. As the speed grew, he said that the machine oscillated at the resonance frequency
of his own building and, belatedly realizing the danger, he was forced to use a sledgehammer
to terminate the experiment, just as the police arrived. Other versions have Tesla smashing the
device before the police arrive and have multi-ton equipment in the basement moving around.
Another version has Tesla clamping an oscillator to a building under construction and causing
it to vibrate so violently the steelworkers working on it left the building in a panic.
At the 1935 party Tesla also claimed the mechanical oscillator could destroy the Empire State
Building with "Five pounds of air pressure" if attached on a girder and that he expected to earn
$100 million from the oscillator within two years.

MYTH BUSTERS
The oscillator/"earthquake machine" was explored in 2006 in Episode 60 – "Earthquake
Machine". The Myth Busters made a device powered by electricity rather than steam. It
produced vibrations that could be felt hundreds of feet away, but no earthquake shaking on the
bridge they attached to; they judged that the claim that the device produced an earthquake to
be false (i.e. a "busted myth").

2. THOUGHT CAMERA
In the 1930's, Nikola Tesla, who is known for creating the induction motor and refining AC
currents, imagined a machine that would allow you to project a mental image in real life and
play back your thoughts like a slideshow.
In 1933, the Kansas City Journal-Post wrote about Tesla's reasoning at the time.
In short, he said if you had a mental image, your body would also produce a corresponding
retinal image, which could be photographed by a machine to be projected onto a viewing
screen.
"In this way every thought of the individual could be read. Our minds would then, indeed, be
like open books," Tesla told the Journal-Post.
Tesla told a newspaper reporter decades later: “I became convinced that a definite
image formed in thought must, by reflex action, produce a corresponding image on
the retina, which might possibly be read by suitable apparatus.” The inventor
conceived of reflecting an image on an artificial retina, taking a photograph and
projecting the image on a screen. “If this can be done successfully, then the objects
imagined by a person would be clearly reflected on the screen as they are formed,”
he said, “and in this way every thought of the individual could be read.
The invention didn't work as Tesla hoped. But scientists now are making progress toward
making mind photography a real thing.

3. WIRELESS ENERGY
Tesla made 3 inventions that can transfer the electricity wirelessly they are tesla
coils, magnifying transmitter and large tower was build called as warden cliff tower
TESLA COIL
Electrical oscillation and resonant air-core transformer circuits had been explored before
Tesla. Resonant circuits using Leyden jars were invented beginning in 1826 by Felix
Savary, Joseph Henry, William Thomson, and Oliver Lodge. and Henry Rowland built a
resonant transformer in 1889. Elihu Thomson invented the Tesla coil circuit independently at
the same time Tesla did. Tesla patented his Tesla coil circuit April 25, 1891. and first publicly
demonstrated it May 20, 1891 in his lecture "Experiments with Alternate Currents of Very
High Frequency and Their Application to Methods of Artificial Illumination" before
the American Institute of Electrical Engineers at Columbia College, New York. Although
Tesla patented many similar circuits during this period, this was the first that contained all the
elements of the Tesla coil: high voltage primary transformer, capacitor, spark gap, and air core
"oscillation transformer".
A Tesla coil is an electrical resonant transformer circuit designed by inventor Nikola Tesla in
1891. It is used to produce high-voltage, low-current, high frequency alternating-
current electricity. Tesla experimented with a number of different configurations consisting of
two, or sometimes three, coupled resonant electric circuits.
Tesla used these circuits to conduct innovative experiments in
electrical lighting, phosphorescence, X-ray generation, high frequency alternating
current phenomena, electrotherapy, and the transmission of electrical energy without wires.
Tesla coil circuits were used commercially in sparkgap radio transmitters for wireless
telegraphy until the 1920s, and in medical equipment such as electrotherapy and violet
ray devices. Today, their main usage is for entertainment and educational displays, although
small coils are still used as leak detectors for high vacuum systems.
A Tesla coil is a radio frequency oscillator that drives an air-core double-tuned resonant
transformer to produce high voltages at low currents. Tesla's original circuits as well as most
modern coils use a simple spark gap to excite oscillations in the tuned transformer. More
sophisticated designs use transistor or thyristor switches or vacuum tube electronic
oscillators to drive the resonant transformer.
Tesla coils can produce output voltages from 50 kilovolts to several million volts for large
coils. The alternating current output is in the low radio frequency range, usually between
50 kHz and 1 MHz. Although some oscillator-driven coils generate a continuous alternating
current, most Tesla coils have a pulsed output; the high voltage consists of a rapid string of
pulses of radio frequency alternating current.
The common spark-excited Tesla coil circuit, shown below, consists of these components:

 A high voltage supply transformer (T), to step the AC mains voltage up to a high enough
voltage to jump the spark gap. Typical voltages are between 5 and 30 kilovolts (kV).
 A capacitor (C1) that forms a tuned circuit with the primary winding L1 of the Tesla
transformer
 A spark gap (SG) that acts as a switch in the primary circuit
 The Tesla coil (L1, L2), an air-core double-tuned resonant transformer, which generates
the high output voltage.
 Optionally, a capacitive electrode (top load) (E) in the form of a smooth metal sphere
or torus attached to the secondary terminal of the coil. Its large surface area suppresses
premature air breakdown and arc discharges, increasing the Q factor and output voltage.
APPLICATIONS
Today, although small Tesla coils are used as leak detectors in scientific high vacuum
systems and igniters in arc welders, their main use is entertainment and educational displays.
HEALTH ISSUES
The high voltage radio frequency (RF) discharges from the output terminal of a Tesla coil
pose a unique hazard not found in other high voltage equipment: when passed through the
body they often do not cause the painful sensation and muscle contraction of electric shock, as
lower frequency AC or DC currents do. The nervous system is insensitive to currents with
frequencies over 10 – 20 kHz. It is thought that the reason for this is that a certain minimum
number of ions must be driven across a nerve cell's membrane by the imposed voltage to
trigger the nerve cell to depolarize and transmit an impulse. At radio frequencies, there is
insufficient time during a half-cycle for enough ions to cross the membrane before the
alternating voltage reverses. The danger is that since no pain is felt, experimenters often
assume the currents are harmless. Teachers and hobbyists demonstrating small Tesla coils
often impress their audience by touching the high voltage terminal or allowing the streamer
arcs to pass through their body.
If the arcs from the high voltage terminal strike the bare skin, they can cause deep-seated
burns called RF burns. This is often avoided by allowing the arcs to strike a piece of metal
held in the hand, or a thimble on a finger, instead. The current passes from the metal into the
person's hand through a wide enough surface area to avoid causing burns. Often no sensation
is felt, or just a warmth or tingling.
However this does not mean the current is harmless. Even a small Tesla coil produces many
times the electrical energy necessary to stop the heart, if the frequency happens to be low
enough to cause ventricular fibrillation. A minor misadjustment of the coil could result
in electrocution. In addition, the RF current heats the tissues it passes through. Carefully
controlled Tesla coil currents, applied directly to the skin by electrodes, were used in the early
20th century for deep body tissue heating in the medical field of longwave diathermy. The
amount of heating depends on the current density, which depends on the power output of the
Tesla coil and the cross-sectional area of the path the current takes through the body to
ground. Particularly if it passes through narrow structures such as blood vessels or joints it
may raise the local tissue temperature to hyperthermic levels, "cooking" internal organs or
causing other injuries. International ICNIRP safety standards for RF current in the body in the
Tesla coil frequency range of 0.1 – 1 MHz specify a maximum current density of 0.2 mA per
square centimeter and a maximum power absorption rate (SAR) in tissue of 4 W/kg in limbs
and 0.8 W/kg average over the body. Even low power Tesla coils could exceed these limits,
and it is generally impossible to determine the threshold current where bodily injury begins.
Being struck by arcs from a high power (> 1000 watt) Tesla coil is likely to be fatal.
Another reported hazard of this practice is that arcs from the high voltage terminal often strike
the primary winding of the coil. This momentarily creates a conductive path for the lethal
50/60 Hz primary current from the supply transformer to reach the output terminal. If a person
is connected to the output terminal at the time, either by touching it or allowing arcs from the
terminal to strike the person's body, then the high primary current could pass through the
conductive ionized air path, through the body to ground, causing electrocution.

MAGNIFING TRANSMITTER
The magnifying transmitter is an advanced harmonic oscillator of the electrical Tesla coil,
used for the wireless transmission of electrical energy.[1] Is it used for the wireless
transmission of electrical energy, if so does this include anything significant to date, other than
sparks? Also Nikola Tesla's apparatus is a high-voltage, air-core, self-regenerative resonant
transformer that generates very high voltages at high frequency. Does its self-regenerative
status mean that it is a perpetual motion machine? Tesla was a great man and had some
incredible ideas. Everyone gets something wrong, even the very best, and he may have sold us
a pup on this one. The magnifying transmitter does something, but was it the amazing machine
that some believe, or is it a side-show way of obtaining a big electricity bill along with some
huge sparks
"Self-regenerative" was the term Tesla's in one of his patents. However, this particular term is
no longer in general use. Tesla'a Magnifier falls into a category of devices called "multi-
resonant networks". These consist of two, or more, coupled resonant circuits, and the math
that describes them can become quite cumbersome. Until relatively recently, Tesla's Magnifier
had not been rigorously analyzed, and design information that did exist tended to be mostly
empirical and anecdotal. See the newly added references by Antonio Carlos M. de Queiroz
and Paul Nicholson in the external links section for more information on multi-resonant
networks and helical resonators.
"The magnifying transmitter is an alternate version of a Tesla Coil. It is a high power
harmonic oscillator that Nikola Tesla proposed for the wireless transmission of electrical
energy. Tesla's apparatus is a high-voltage, air-core, multiple-resonant transformer that can
generate very high voltages at high frequency."
The Magnifying transmitter is designed and intended for use at low frequency.
In this article it is stated that Tesla effectively discovered the primary resonance freqnency of
the earth-ionosphere cavity, at ~8 Hz
Tesla wrote the following:
It is suitable for any frequency, from a few to many thousands of cycles per second, and can
be used in the production of currents of tremendous volume and moderate pressure, or
of smaller amperage and immense electromotive force. The maximum electric tension is
merely dependent on the curvature of the surfaces on which the charged elements are situated
and the area of the latter.
Judging from my past experience, as much as 100,000,000 volts are perfectly practicable. On
the other hand currents of many thousands of amperes may be obtained in the antenna. A plant
of but very moderate dimensions is required for such performances. Theoretically, a terminal
of less than 90 feet in diameter is sufficient to develop an electromotive force of that
magnitude while for antenna currents of from 2,000-4,000 amperes at the usual frequencies it
need not be larger than 30 feet in diameter.
In a more restricted meaning this wireless transmitter is one in which the Hertz-wave radiation
is an entirely negligible quantity as compared with the whole energy, under which condition
the damping factor is extremely small and an enormous charge is stored in the elevated

capacity. Such a circuit may then be excited with impulses of any kind, even of low frequency
and it will yield sinusoidal and continuous oscillations like those of an alternator.
Taken in the narrowest significance of the term, however, it is a resonant transformer which,
besides possessing these qualities, is accurately proportioned to fit the globe and its electrical
constants and properties, by virtue of which design it becomes highly efficient and effective in
the wireless transmission of energy.
The 'Magnifying Transmitter.' This is Tesla's best invention, a peculiar transformer
specially adapted to excite the Earth, which is in the transmission of electrical energy what the
telescope is in astronomical observation. By the use of this marvelous device he has already
set up electrical movements of greater intensity than those of lightning and passed a current,
sufficient to light more than two hundred incandescent lamps, around the Globe.
"The earth has a charge of 96,500 coulombs. With a potential of 360,000 volts, the earth
constitutes a capacitor of .25 farads (farads = coulombs/volts). If the formula for calculating
the energy stored in a capacitor (E =1/2CV2) is applied to the earth, it turns out that the
ambient medium contains 1.6 x 1011 joules or 4.5 megawatt-hours of electrical energy. In
order to utilize this high-voltage energy you must do two things -- make an energy sink and
then devise a way of making the "sink" oscillate.
SIMPLIFIED VERSION
This article is based on many assumptions and is basically giving wrong information. The
patents mentioned and the image copied from them DO NOT depict a magnifying transmitter.
Read the text in those patents! Tesla does NOT use the word Magnifying Transmitter
anywhere in those patents, nor does he ever refer to those patents as Magnifying Transmitter.
Leland Anderson has copied a few documents that DO refer to Wardenclyffe and as
Wardenclyffe WAS a Magnifying Transmitter, those documents provide a main clue as to
what a Magnifying Transmitter is.
For those who want to spend a few weeks reading through Tesla's work: Please note that after
his laboratory was burned down, Tesla is much less open in his communications. And then in
June 1900 he writes this really strange article: "The Problem of Increasing Human Energy".
Read it, and read it again, you will see that it contains a code. Once you have this code, read
through all Tesla's articles starting 1991. Then and only then you will have a chance of
understanding what a Magnifying Transmitter is all about.
It is work in progress, not every detail is fully described. But I hope it will be sufficient to
convince you.
What then does the Magnifying Transmitter do?

- It takes energy from any source (Tesla mentions the Niagara Falls)
- It amplifies this energy, by adding the Suns energy to it, in a very direct and beautiful way.
- It distributes this energy to specific receiving stations all over the world, in which it is
amplified a second time, by adding the Suns energy.
- It uses the Earth for distribution of this energy
The reason it is difficult to understand is that most of the article, as well as the above blather,
is a confused mishmash of pseudoscientific WP:OR WP:FRINGE theories dreamed up by
Tesla cultists from Tesla's discredited 19th century ideas about wireless power transmission.
The transmitter is basically a large Tesla coil, producing extremely high voltage, radio
frequency alternating current at its top terminal. Tesla himself didn't really know what he was
doing. Obsessed with wireless power transmission, he rejected any theories that conflicted
with his goal, including Maxwell's equations and Hertzian waves. Most of this article is horse
manure. It should be completely rewritten
It is actually a bit better than "blather" and "pseudo scientific horse manure" which are terms
usually employed by those who just wish to oppose some idea without trying to understand the
actual facts. For those who DO want to understand, read this: Tesla's Magnifying Transmitter.
BTW. the term "self regenerative resonant transformer" is NOT used by Tesla in any of his
articles or patents. It originates from a biography done by someone else. But as the term very
accurately describes what a Magnifying Transmitter is, I believe it is likely that this term in
some way originates from Tesla himself.

WARDENCLIFF TOWER
Warden Cliff Tower (1901–1917), also known as the Tesla Tower, was an early
experimental wireless transmission station designed and built by Nikola Tesla on Long
Island in 1901–1902, located in the village of Shoreham, New York. Tesla intended to
transmit messages, telephony and even facsimile images across the Atlantic to England and to

ships at sea based on his theories of using the Earth to conduct the signals. His decision to
scale up the facility and implement his ideas of wireless power transmission to better compete
with Guglielmo Marconi's radio-based telegraph system was met with refusal to fund the
changes by the project's primary backer, financier J. P. Morgan. Additional investment could
not be found, and the project was abandoned in 1906, never to become operational.
In an attempt to satisfy Tesla's debts, the tower was demolished for scrap in 1917 and the
property taken in foreclosure in 1922. For 50 years, Wardenclyffe was a processing facility
producing photography supplies. Many buildings were added to the site and the land it
occupies has been trimmed down to 16 acres (6.5 ha) but the original, 94 by 94 ft (29 by
29 m), brick building designed by Stanford White remains standing to this day.
In the 1980s and 2000s, hazardous waste from the photographic era was cleaned up, and the
site was sold and cleared for new development. A grassroots campaign to save the site
succeeded in purchasing the property in 2013, with plans to build a future museum dedicated
to Nikola Tesla. In 2018 the property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
DESIGN AND OPERATING PRINCIPAL
Tesla's design for Wardenclyffe grew out of his experiments beginning in the early 1890s. His
primary goal in these experiments was to develop a new wireless power transmission system.
He discarded the idea of using the newly discovered Hertzian (radio) waves, detected in 1888
by German physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz since Tesla doubted they existed and basic
physics told him, and most other scientists from that period, that they would only travel in
straight lines the way visible light did, meaning they would travel straight out into space
becoming "hopelessly lost".
In laboratory work and later large-scale experiments at Colorado Springs in 1899, Tesla
developed his own ideas on how a worldwide wireless system would work. He theorized from
these experiments that if he injected electric current into the Earth at just the right frequency
he could harness what he believed was the planet's own electrical charge and cause it to
resonate at a frequency that would be amplified in "standing waves" that could be tapped
anywhere on the planet to run devices or, through modulation, carry a signal. His system was
based more on 19th century ideas of electrical conduction and telegraphy instead of the newer
theories of air-borne electromagnetic waves, with an electrical charge being conducted
through the ground and being returned through the air.
Tesla's design used a concept of a charged conductive upper layer in the atmosphere, a theory
dating back to an 1872 idea for a proposed wireless power system by Mahlon Loomis. Tesla
not only believed that he could use this layer as his return path in his electrical conduction
system, but that the power flowing through it would make it glow, providing night time
lighting for cities and shipping lanes.
In a February 1901 Collier's Weekly article titled "Talking With Planets" Tesla described his
"system of energy transmission and of telegraphy without the use of wires" as:
(using) the Earth itself as the medium for conducting the currents, thus dispensing with wires
and all other artificial conductors ... a machine which, to explain its operation in plain
language, resembled a pump in its action, drawing electricity from the Earth and driving it
back into the same at an enormous rate, thus creating ripples or disturbances which, spreading
through the Earth as through a wire, could be detected at great distances by carefully attuned

receiving circuits. In this manner I was able to transmit to a distance, not only feeble effects
for the purposes of signaling, but considerable amounts of energy, and later discoveries I made
convinced me that I shall ultimately succeed in conveying power without wires, for industrial
purposes, with high economy, and to any distance, however great.
Although Tesla demonstrated wireless power transmission at Colorado Springs, lighting
electric lights mounted outside the building where he had his large experimental coil, he did
not scientifically test his theories. He believed he had achieved Earth resonance which,
according to his theory, would work at any distance.
FINANCES
Tesla was back in New York in January 1900. He had convinced his friend Robert Underwood
Johnson, editor of The Century Magazine, to allow him to publish an article covering his work
and Johnson had even sent a photographer to Colorado Springs the previous year to
photograph Tesla's experiments. The article titled "The Problem of Increasing Human Energy"
written by Tesla appeared in the June, 1900 edition of Century Magazine.
Instead of the understandable scientific description Johnson had hoped for it was more of a
lengthy philosophical treatise where Tesla described his futuristic ideas on harnessing the sun's
energy, control the weather with electricity, wireless control, and how future inventions would
make war impossible. It also contained what were to become iconic images by photographer
Dickenson Alley of Tesla and his Colorado Springs experiments.
Tesla made the rounds in New York trying to find investors for his system of wireless
transmission, wining and dining them at the Waldorf-Astoria's Palm Garden (the hotel where
he was living at the time), The Players Club and Delmonico's. Tesla first went to his old
friend George Westinghouse for help. Westinghouse seemed like a natural fit for the project
given the large-scale AC equipment Westinghouse manufactured and Tesla's need for similar
equipment.
Tesla asked Westinghouse to "…meet me on some fair terms in furnishing me the machinery,
retaining the ownership of the same and interesting yourself to a certain extent". While
Westinghouse declined to buy into the project, he did agree to lend Tesla
$6,000. Westinghouse suggested Tesla pursue some of the rich venture capitalists. Tesla
talked to John Jacob Astor, Thomas Fortune Ryan, and even sent a cabochon sapphire ring as
a gift to Henry O. Havemeyer. No investment was forthcoming from Havemeyer and Ryan but
Astor did buy 500 shares in Tesla's company. Tesla gained the attention of financier J. P.
Morgan in November 1900.
Morgan, who was impressed by Guglielmo Marconi's feat of sending reports from
the America's Cup yacht races off Long Island back to New York City via radio-based
wireless the previous year, was dubious about the feasibility and patent priority of Tesla's
system.
In several discussions Tesla assured Morgan his system was superior to, and based on patents
that superseded, that of Marconi's and of other wireless inventors', and that it would far
outpace the performance of its main competitor, the transatlantic telegraph cable. Morgan
signed a contract with Tesla in March 1901, agreeing to give the inventor $150,000 to develop
and build a wireless station on Long Island, New York, capable of sending wireless messages
to London as well as ships at sea. The deal also included Morgan having a 51% interest in the

company as well as a 51% share in present and future wireless patents developed from the
project.
ABANDONMENT
In 1906 the financial problems and other events may have led to what Tesla biographer Marc
J. Seifer suspects was a nervous breakdown on Tesla's part. In June architect Stanford White
was murdered by Harry Kendall Thaw over White's affair with Thaw's wife, actress Evelyn
Nesbit. In October long time investor William Rankine died of a heart attack. Things were so
bad by the fall of that year George Scherff, Tesla's chief manager who had been supervising
Wardenclyffe, had to leave to find other employment. The people living around Wardenclyffe
noticed the Tesla plant seemed to have been abandoned without notice.
In 1904 Tesla took out a mortgage on the Wardenclyffe property with George C. Boldt,
proprietor of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, to cover Tesla's living expenses at the hotel. In 1908
Tesla procured a second mortgage from Boldt to further cover expenses. The facility was
partially abandoned around 1911, and the tower structure deteriorated. Between 1912 and
1915, Tesla's finances unraveled, and when the funders wanted to know how they were going
to recoup their investments, Tesla was unable to give satisfactory answers.
The March 1, 1916 edition of the publication Export American Industries ran a story titled
"Tesla's Million Dollar Folly" describing the abandoned Wardenclyffe site:
There everything seemed left as for a day — chairs, desks, and papers in businesslike array.
The great wheels seemed only awaiting Monday life. But the magic word has not been spoken,
and the spell still rests on the great plant.
By mid-1917 the facility's main building was breached and vandalized.
DEMOLITION
By 1915, Tesla's accumulated debt at the Waldorf-Astoria was around $20,000 ($505 thousand
in 2019 dollars). When Tesla was unable to make any further payments on the mortgages,
Boldt foreclosed on the Wardenclyffe property. Boldt failed to find any use for the property
and finally decided to demolish the tower for scrap. On July 4, 1917 the Smiley Steel
Company of New York began demolition of the tower by dynamiting it. The tower was
knocked on a tilt by the initial explosion but it took until September to totally demolish it. The
scrap value realized was $1750.
Since this was during World War I a rumor spread, picked up by newspapers and other
publications, that the tower was demolished on orders of the United States Government with
claims German spies were using it as a radio transmitter or observation post, or that it was
being used as a landmark for German submarines. Tesla was not pleased with what he saw as
attacks on his patriotism via the rumors about Wardenclyffe, but since the original mortgages
with Boldt as well as the foreclosure had been kept off the public record in order to hide his
financial difficulties, Tesla was not able to reveal the real reason for the demolition.
George Boldt decided to make the property available for sale. On April 20, 1922, Tesla lost an
appeal of judgment on Boldt's foreclosure. This effectively locked Tesla out of any future
development of the facility.

4. BLADELESS TURBINE (TESLA TURBINE)
The Tesla turbine is a bladeless centripetal flow turbine patented by Nikola Tesla in 1913. It is
referred to as a bladeless turbine. The Tesla turbine is also known as the boundary layer
turbine, cohesion-type turbine, and Prandtl layer turbine (after Ludwig Prandtl) because it uses
the boundary-layer effect and not a fluid impinging upon the blades as in a conventional
turbine. Bioengineering researchers have referred to it as a multiple-disk centrifugal
pump. One of Tesla's desires for implementation of this turbine was for geothermal power,
which was described in Our Future Motive Power.
Description
The guiding idea for developing Tesla turbine is the fact that in order to attain the highest
efficiency, the changes in the velocity and direction of movement of fluid should be as gradual
as possible. Therefore, the propelling fluid of Tesla turbine moves in natural paths or stream
lines of least resistance.
A Tesla turbine consists of a set of smooth disks, with nozzles applying a moving fluid to the
edge of the disk. The fluid drags on the disk by means of viscosity and the adhesion of the
surface layer of the fluid. As the fluid slows and adds energy to the disks, it spirals into the
center exhaust. Since the rotor has no projections, it is very sturdy.
Tesla wrote: "This turbine is an efficient self-starting prime mover which may be operated as a
steam or mixed fluid turbine at will, without changes in construction and is on this account
very convenient. Minor departures from the turbine, as may be dictated by the circumstances
in each case, will obviously suggest themselves but if it is carried out on these general lines it
will be found highly profitable to the owners of the steam plant while permitting the use of
their old installation. However, the best economic results in the development of power from
steam by the Tesla turbine will be obtained in plants especially adapted for the purpose."
Pump
The device can function as a pump if a similar set of disks and a housing with
an involute shape (versus circular for the turbine) are used. In this configuration a motor is
attached to the shaft. The fluid enters near the center, is given energy by the disks, then exits at
the periphery. The Tesla turbine does not use friction in the conventional sense; precisely, it
avoids it and uses adhesion (the Coanda effect) and viscosity instead. It uses the boundary-
layer effect on the disc blades.
Smooth rotor disks were originally proposed, but these gave poor starting torque. Tesla
subsequently discovered that smooth rotor disks with small washers bridging the disks in ~12–
24 places around the perimeter of a 10″ disk and a second ring of 6–12 washers at a sub-
diameter made for a significant improvement in starting torque without compromising
efficiency.
APPLICATIONS
Tesla's patents state that the device was intended for the use of fluids as motive agents, as
distinguished from the application of the same for the propulsion or compression of fluids
(though the device can be used for those purposes as well). As of 2016, the Tesla turbine has
not seen widespread commercial use since its invention. The Tesla pump, however, has been
commercially available since 1982 and is used to pump fluids that are abrasive, viscous, shear
sensitive, contain solids, or are otherwise difficult to handle with other pumps. Tesla himself
did not procure a large contract for production. The main drawback in his time, as mentioned,
was the poor knowledge of materials characteristics and behaviors at high temperatures. The
best metallurgy of the day could not prevent the turbine disks from moving and warping
unacceptably during operation.
Today, many amateur experiments in the field have been conducted using Tesla turbines
which use compressed air, or steam as its power source (the steam being generated with heat
from fuel combustion or from solar radiation). The issue of the warping of the discs has been
partially solved using new materials such as carbon fiber.
One proposed current application for the device is a waste pump, in factories and mills where
normal vane-type turbine pumps typically get blocked.
Applications of the Tesla turbine as a multiple-disk centrifugal blood pump have yielded
promising results due to the low peak shear force.
Biomedical engineering research on such applications has been continued into the 21st
century.
EFFICIENCY AND CALUCULATIONS
In Tesla's time, the efficiency of conventional turbines was low because turbines used a direct
drive system that severely limited the potential speed of a turbine to whatever it was driving.
At the time of introduction, modern ship turbines were massive and included dozens, or even
hundreds of stages of turbines, yet produced extremely low efficiency due to their low speed.
For example, the turbine on the Titanic weighed over 400 tons, ran at just 165rpm, and used
steam at a pressure of only 6 PSI. This limited it to harvesting waste steam from the main
power plants, a pair of reciprocating steam engines. The Tesla turbine also had the ability to
run on higher temperature gasses than bladed turbines of the time contributed to its greater
efficiency. Eventually axial turbines were given gearing to allow them to operate at higher
speeds, but efficiency of axial turbines remained very low in comparison to the Tesla Turbine.
As time went on, competing Axial turbines became dramatically more efficient and powerful,
a second stage of reduction gears was introduced in most cutting edge U.S. naval ships of the
1930s. The improvement in steam technology gave the U.S. Navy aircraft carriers a clear
advantage in speed over both Allied and enemy aircraft carriers, and so the proven axial steam
turbines became the preferred form of propulsion until the 1973 oil embargo took place. The
oil crisis drove the majority of new civilian vessels to turn to diesel engines. Axial steam
turbines still had not exceeded 50% efficiency by that time, and so civilian ships chose to
utilize diesel engines due to their superior efficiency. By this time, the comparably efficient
Tesla turbine was over 60 years old.

Tesla's design attempted to sidestep the key drawbacks of the bladed axial turbines, and even
the lowest estimates for efficiency still dramatically outperformed the efficiency of axial steam
turbines of the day. However, in testing against more modern engines, the Tesla Turbine had
expansion efficiencies far below contemporary steam turbines and far below contemporary
reciprocating steam engines. It does suffer from other problems such as shear losses and flow
restrictions, but this is partially offset by the relatively massive reduction in weight and
volume. Some of Tesla turbine's advantages lie in relatively low flow rate applications or
when small applications are called for. The disks need to be as thin as possible at the edges in
order not to introduce turbulence as the fluid leaves the disks. This translates to needing to
increase the number of disks as the flow rate increases. Maximum efficiency comes in this
system when the inter-disk spacing approximates the thickness of the boundary layer, and
since boundary layer thickness is dependent on viscosity and pressure, the claim that a single
design can be used efficiently for a variety of fuels and fluids is incorrect. A Tesla turbine
differs from a conventional turbine only in the mechanism used for transferring energy to the
shaft. Various analyses demonstrate the flow rate between the disks must be kept relatively
low to maintain efficiency. Reportedly, the efficiency of the Tesla turbine drops with
increased load. Under light load, the spiral taken by the fluid moving from the intake to the
exhaust is a tight spiral, undergoing many rotations. Under load, the number of rotations drops
and the spiral becomes progressively shorter. This will increase the shear losses and also
reduce the efficiency because the gas is in contact with the discs for less distance.
Efficiency is a function of power output. A moderate load makes for high efficiency. Too
heavy a load increases the slip in the turbine and lowers the efficiency; with too light a load,
little power is delivered to the output, which also decreases efficiency (to zero at idle). This
behavior is not exclusive to Tesla turbines.
The turbine efficiency of the gas Tesla turbine is estimated to be above 60, reaching a
maximum of 95 percent. Keep in mind that turbine efficiency is different from the cycle
efficiency of the engine using the turbine. Axial turbines which operate today in steam plants
or jet engines have efficiencies of over 90%. This is different from the cycle efficiencies of the
plant or engine which are between approximately 25% and 42%, and are limited by any
irreversibilities to be below the Carnot cycle efficiency. Tesla claimed that a steam version of
his device would achieve around 95 percent efficiency. Actual tests of a Tesla steam turbine at
the Westinghouse works showed a steam rate of 38 pounds per horsepower-hour,
corresponding to a turbine efficiency in the range of 90%, while contemporary steam turbines
could often achieve turbine efficiencies of well over 50%. The thermodynamic efficiency is a
measure of how well it performs compared to an isentropic case. It is the ratio of the ideal to
the actual work input/output. Turbine efficiency is defined as the ratio of the ideal change
in enthalpy to the real enthalpy for the same change in pressure.
In the 1950s, Warren Rice attempted to re-create Tesla's experiments, but he did not perform
these early tests on a pump built strictly in line with the Tesla's patented design (it, among
other things, was not a Tesla multiple staged turbine nor did it possess Tesla's nozzle). Rice's
experimental single stage system's working fluid was air. Rice's test turbines, as published in
early reports, produced an overall measured efficiency of 36–41% for a single stage. Higher
efficiency would be expected if designed as originally proposed by Tesla.
In his final work with the Tesla turbine and published just prior to his retirement, Rice
conducted a bulk-parameter analysis of model laminar flow in multiple disk turbines. A very

high claim for rotor efficiency (as opposed to overall device efficiency) for this design was
published in 1991 titled "Tesla Turbomachinery". This paper states:
With proper use of the analytical results, the rotor efficiency using laminar flow can be very
high, even above 95%. However, in order to attain high rotor efficiency, the flowrate number
must be made small which means high rotor efficiency is achieved at the expense of using a
large number of disks and hence a physically larger rotor. For each value of flow rate number
there is an optimum value of Reynolds number for maximum efficiency. With common fluids,
the required disk spacing is dismally small causing [rotors using] laminar flow to tend to be
large and heavy for a prescribed throughflow rate. Extensive investigations have been made of
Tesla-type liquid pumps using laminar-flow rotors. It was found that overall pump efficiency
was low even when rotor efficiency was high because of the losses occurring at the rotor
entrance and exit earlier mentioned.
Modern multiple stage bladed turbines typically reach 60–70% efficiency, while large steam
turbines often show turbine efficiency of over 90% in practice. Volute rotor matched Tesla-
type machines of reasonable size with common fluids (steam, gas, and water) would also be
expected to show efficiencies in the vicinity of 60–70% and possibly higher.
BOUNDARY LAYER EFFECT
Bladeless Turbine Works on the principal of Boundary Layer Effect In physics and fluid
mechanics, a boundary layer is the layer of fluid in the immediate vicinity of a bounding
surface where the effects of viscosity are significant. The liquid or gas in the boundary layer
tends to cling to the surface.
The boundary layer around a human is heated by the human, so it is warmer than the
surrounding air. A breeze disrupts the boundary layer, and hair and clothing protect it, making
the human feel cooler or warmer. On an aircraft wing, the boundary layer is the part of the
flow close to the wing, where viscous forces distort the surrounding non-viscous flow. In
the Earth's atmosphere, the atmospheric boundary layer is the air layer near the ground. It is
affected by the surface; day-night heat flows caused by the sun heating the ground, moisture,
or momentum transfer to or from the surface.
Many of the principles that apply to aircraft also apply to ships, submarines, and offshore
platforms.
For ships, unlike aircraft, one deals with incompressible flows, where change in water density
is negligible (a pressure rise close to 1000kPa leads to a change of only 2–3 kg/m 3). This field
of fluid dynamics is called hydrodynamics. A ship engineer designs for hydrodynamics first,
and for strength only later. The boundary layer development, breakdown, and separation
become critical because the high viscosity of water produces high shear stresses. Another
consequence of high viscosity is the slip stream effect, in which the ship moves like a spear
tearing through a sponge at high velocity.
Boundary layer ingestion promises an increase in aircraft fuel efficiency with an aft-
mounted propulsor ingesting the slow fuselage boundary layer and re-energising the wake to
reduce drag and improve propulsive efficiency. To operate in distorted airflow, the fan is
heavier and its efficiency is reduced, and its integration is challenging. It is used in concepts
like the Aurora D8 or the French research agency Onera’s Nova, saving 5% in cruise by
ingesting 40% of the fuselage boundary layer.

Airbus presented the Nautilius concept at the ICAS congress in September 2018: to ingest all
the fuselage boundary layer, while minimizing the azimuthal flow distortion, the fuselage
splits into two spindles with 13
13-18:1 bypass ratio fans. Propulsive efficiencies are up to 90%
like counter-rotating open rotors with smaller, lighter, less complex and noisy engines. It could
lower fuel burn by over 10% compared to a usual underwing 15:1 bypass ratio engine.

5. AERIAL TRANSPORTATION
The latest inventions patented by Nikola Tesla are probablly the most mysterious because
it seems that nobody still ever attempted to build and some of their principles and
their purposes are also uknown.
In 1928 Tesla patented the invention for the "Apparatus for Aerial Transportation" that he
claimed would revolutionise the world. This device would be powered by one of his
miraculous turbines and would cost less than a thousand dollars.
US1,655,113 -Method of Aerial Transportation- January 3, 1928

US1,655,114 -Apparatus for Aerial Transportation- January 3, 1928
In those patents it is easy to appreciate that it had been designed by using many
technical features of the conventional aviation and it could be compared to the
ornithopter concept or the V-tol design, which could develop a vertical taking off like an
helicopter and fly in horizontal position as an airplane when some altitude is achieved.
Today some of the most important aeronautic companies from around the world are
searching for the right design which could make possible this method to avoid the risk
which implies the common method of taking off and landing of the modern commertial
aviation, knowing that most of the accidents usually doesn't happend during the flight but
during the taking off and the landing.
The apparatus described in Tesla's patents seems to be quite simple but strange and it seems
that he didn't have any intention to build any prototype. Another mistery is why Tesla patented
an airplane like the patents US1,655,113 & US1,655,114 on January 3, 1928 when he'd
already proposed the ultimate flying machine in 1919 and knowing that he wasn't very
optimistic about the future of comertial aviation. One reason could be the difference of height.
This awsome craft was to be powered by his World Wireless System, fly without wings or
propellers, and would make war unthinkable by its ability to strike an enemy with impunity
from thousands of miles away.
Maybe by the time Tesla conceded that airplanes might be useful after all, he was already
behind the times. Four years before Tesla filed his own patent application, Albert Zahm, a
versatile inventor with the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Corp., had come up with essentially
the same idea.
Application filed September 9, 1921, Serial No. 499,519, and in Great Britain April, 1921.
The utility of the aeroplane as a means of transport is materially lessened and its commercial
introduction greatly hampered owning to the inherent inability of the mechanism to readily
rise and alight, which is an unavoidable consequence of the fact that the required lifting force

can only be produced by a more or less rapid translatory movement of the planes or foils.In
actual experience the minimum speed for ascension and landing is a considerable fraction of
that in full flight, and the principles of design do not admit of a very great advance in this
respect without sacrifice "of some desirable feature. For this reason planes of i very large area,
high lift wing-sections, deflectors of the slip-stream of the propeller, or analogous means,
which might be helpful in these operations, do not afford the remedy sought. This
indispensable high velocity, imperilling life and property, makes it necessary to equip the
machine with special appliances and provide suitable facilities at the terminals of the route, all
of which entail numerous drawbacks and difficulties of a serious nature. 80 imperative has it
become to devise some. plan of doing away with .these limitations of the aeroplane that the
consensus of expert opinion characterizes the problem as one of the most impressing and
important and its practical solution is eagerly awaited by those engaged in the development of
the art, as well as the general public.

energy.This follows directly from the fundamental laws of fluid propulsion, laid down by W.

amount of power simply by increasing the aggregate mass of the particles and reducing their
velocities. Taking a special case for illustration, if .under given conditions be ten pounds per
horse-power, then a hundredfold increase of the mass of air, accompanied by a reduction of its
effective velocity to one-tenth, would produce a force of one hundred pounds per horsepower.
But the seemingly great gain thus secured is of little significance in aviation, for the reason

More recently, professional attention has been turned to the helicopter which is devoid of
planes as distinct organs of support and, presumably, enables both vertical and horizontal
propulsion to be satisfactorily accomplished thoroughly the instrumentality of the propeller

6. DEATH BEAM
Tesla’s creative mind continued to spark new visions even late in his life. On his
78th birthday, he told The New York Times that he had come up with this most
important invention, one that would “cause armies of millions to drop dead in their
tracks.” The invention? A military weapon that would accelerate mercury particles at
48 times the speed of sound inside a vacuum chamber and shoot a high-velocity
beam “through the free air, of such tremendous energy that [it] will bring down a
fleet of 10,000 enemy airplanes at a distance of 250 miles.” Although the press
dubbed it a “death beam,” Tesla believed it a “peace beam” that would foil attacks
by airplanes and invading armies and save lives by acting “like an invisible Chinese
wall, only a million times more impenetrable.” Tesla offered his particle-beam
weapon to numerous governments, including the United States, but the only country
to show interest was the Soviet Union, which conducted a partial test in 1939.
The death ray or death beam was a theoretical particle beam or electromagnetic weapon first
theorized around the 1920s and 1930s. Around that time, notable inventors such as Guglielmo
Marconi, Nikola Tesla, Harry Grindell Matthews, Edwin R. Scott, Erich Graichen and others
claimed to have invented it independently. In 1957, the National Inventors Council was still
issuing lists of needed military inventions that included a death ray.
While based in fiction, research into energy-based weapons inspired by past speculation has
contributed to real-life weapons in use by modern militaries sometimes called a sort of "death
ray", such as the United States Navy and its Laser Weapon System (LaWS) deployed in mid-
2014. Such armaments are technically known as directed-energy weapons.
In 1923, Edwin R. Scott, an inventor from San Francisco, claimed he was the first to develop a
death ray that would destroy human life and bring down planes at a distance. He was born
in Detroit, and he claimed he worked for nine years as a student and protégé of Charles P.
Steinmetz. Harry Grindell-Matthews tried to sell what he reported to be a death ray to the
British Air Ministry in 1924. He was never able to show a functioning model or demonstrate it
to the military.
Nikola Tesla claimed to have invented a "death beam" which he called teleforce in the 1930s
and continued the claims up until his death. Tesla explained that "this invention of mine does
not contemplate the use of any so-called 'death rays'. Rays are not applicable because they
cannot be produced in requisite quantities and diminish rapidly in intensity with distance. All
the energy of New York City (approximately two million horsepower) transformed into rays
and projected twenty miles, could not kill a human being, because, according to a well known
law of physics, it would disperse to such an extent as to be ineffectual. My apparatus projects
particles which may be relatively large or of microscopic dimensions, enabling us to convey to
a small area at a great distance trillions of times more energy than is possible with rays of any
kind. Many thousands of horsepower can thus be transmitted by a stream thinner than a hair,
so that nothing can resist." Tesla proposed that a nation could "destroy anything approaching

within 200 miles... [and] will provide a wall of power" in order to "make any country, large or
small, impregnable against armies, airplanes, and other means for attack". He claimed to have
worked on the project since about 1900, and said that it drew power from the ionosphere,
which he called "an invisible ball of energy surrounding Earth". He said that he had done this
with the help of a 50-foot tesla coil.
Antonio Longoria in 1934 claimed to have a death ray that could kill pigeons from four miles
away and could kill a mouse enclosed in a "thick walled metal chamber".
During World War II, the Germans had at least two projects, and the Japanese one, to create
so-called death rays. One German project led by Ernst Schiebold concerned a particle
accelerator with a steerable bundle of beryllium rods running through the vertical axis. The
other was developed by Dr. Rolf Wideroe and is referred to in his biography. The machine
developed by Widerøe was in the Dresden Plasma Physics laboratory in February 1945 when
the city was bombed. Widerøe led a team in March 1945 to remove the device from the ruined
laboratory and deliver it to General Patton's 3rd Army at Burggrub where it was taken into US
custody on 14 April 1945. The Japanese weapon was called Death ray "Ku-Go" which aimed
to employ microwaves created in a large magnetron.
IN SCIENCE FRICTION
The concept of a death ray has fueled science fiction stories at least as early as Aleksey Nikolayevich
Tolstoy’s 1927 novel The Garin Death Ray. Later science fiction introduced the concept of the
handheld raygun used by fictional characters such as Flash Gordon. In Alfred Noyes' 1940 novel The Last
Man (US title: No Other Man), a death ray developed by a German scientist named Mardok is unleashed in
a global war and almost wipes out the human race. Similar weapons are found in George Lucas's science-
fiction saga Star Wars.

7. TESLA VALVE
A Tesla valve,, called by Tesla a valvular conduit, is a fixed-geometry
geometry passive check valve. It
allows a fluid to flow preferentially in one direction, without moving parts. The device is
named after Nikola Tesla,, who was awarded U.S. Patent 1,329,559 in 1920 for its invention.
The patent application describes the invention as follow
follows
The interior of the conduit is provided with enlargements, recesses, projections, baffles, or
buckets which, while offering virtually no resistance to the passage of the fluid in one
direction, other than surface friction, constitute an almost impassable barrier to its flow in the
opposite direction.Tesla illustrates this with the drawing, showing one possible construction
with a series of eleven flow-control
control segments, although any other number of such segments
could be used as desired to increase or decr
decrease the flow regulation effect.
The Tesla valve is used in microfluidic applications. and offers advantages such as scalability,
durability, and ease of fabrication in a variety of materials. One computational fluid
dynamics simulation of Tesla valves with two and four segments showed that the flow
resistance in the blocking (o (orr reverse) direction was about 15 and 40 times greater,
respectively, than the unimpeded (or forward) direction
direction. This lends support to Tesla's patent
assertion that in the valvular conduit in his diagram, a pressure ratio "approximating 200 can
be obtained so that the device acts as a slightly leaking valve".
valve".Most
Most of the valves we use today
have moving parts to stop the flow from one side but This is the fixed geometry one way valve
due to its design it gives complete output as given in the input from one side si but when the
input is given from another side it suffers with losses due to flow resistance caused due to
increasing pressure due to divergence and forming a vortex due to the collision of primary and
secondary streams this causes the flow harder from tthehe another side This is highly durable as it
has no moving parts.
DIODICITY
The valves are structures that have a higher pressure drop for the flow in one direction
(reverse) than the other (forward). This difference in flow resistance causes a net directional
flow rate in the forward direction in oscillating flows. The efficiency is often expressed in
diodicity being the ratio of pressure drops for identical flow rates
