Free Energy Receiver
chapter 9
For starters, think of this as a solar-electric panel. Tesla's invention is very different, but the
closest thing to it in conventional technology is in photovoltaics. One radical difference is that
conventional solar-electric panels consist of a substrate coated with crystalline silicon; the
latest use amorphous silicon. Conventional solar panels are expensive, and, whatever the
coating, they are manufactured by esoteric processes. But Tesla's “solar panel" is just a shiny
metal plate with a transparent coating of some insulating material which today could be a
spray plastic. Stick one of these antenna-like panels up in the air, the higher the better, and
wire it to one side of a capacitor, the other going to a good earth ground.
Now the energy from the sun is charging that
capacitor. Connect across the capacitor some sort of switching device so that it can be discharged at rhythmic intervals, and
you have an electric output. Tesla´s patent is telling us that it is that simple to get electric energy. The bigger the area of the
insulated plate, the more energy you get.
But this is more than a 'solar panel" because it does not necessarily need sunshine to operate. It also produces power at night
Of course, this is impossible according to official science.
For this reason, you could not get a patent on such an invention
today. Many an inventor has learned this the hard way. Tesla had his problems with the patent examiners, but today's
free-energy inventor has it much tougher. At the time of this writing, the U. S. Patent Office is headed by a Reagan appointee
who came to the office straight from a top executive position with Phillips Petroleum.
Tesla's free-energy receiver was patented in 1901 as An
Apparatus for the Utilization of Radiant Energy. The patent
refers to "the sun, as well as other sources of radiant energy,
like cosmic rays." That the device works at night is explained
in terms of the night-time availability of cosmic rays. Tesla
also refers to the ground as "a vast reservoir of negative
electricity."
Tesla was fascinated by radiant energy and its free-energy
possibilities. He called the Crooke's radiometer (a device
which has vanes that spin in a vacuum when exposed to
radiant energy) "a beautiful invention.
" He believed that it
would become possible to harness energy directly by
"connecting to the very wheelwork of nature." His
free-energy receiver is as close as he ever came to such a
device in his patented work. But on his 76th birthday at the ritual press conference, Tesla (who was without the financial
wherewithal to patent but went on inventing in his head) announced a "cosmic-ray motor." When asked if it was more powerful
than the Crooke's radiometer, he answered, "thousands of times more powerful."
how it works
From the electric Potential that exists between the elevated plate (plus) and the ground (minus), energy builds in the capacitor,
and, after "a suitable time interval," the accumulated energy will "manifest itself in a powerful discharge" which can do work.
The capacitor, says Tesla, should be "of considerable electrostatic capacity," and its dielectric made of "the best quality mica,'
for it has to withstand potentials that could rupture a weaker dielectrictric.
Tesla gives various options for the switching device. One is a rotary switch that resembles a Tesia circuit controller. Another is
an electrostatic device consisting of two very light, membranous conductors suspended in a vacuum. These sense the energy
build-up in the capacitor, one going positive, the other negative, and, at a certain charge level, are attracted, touch, and thus
fire the capacitor. Tesla also mentions another switching device consisting of a minute air gap or weak dielectric film which
breaks down suddenly when a certain potential is reached.
The above is about all the technical detail you get in the patent.
Although I´ve seen a few cursory references to Tesla´s
invention in my sampling of the literature of free-energy, I am not aware of any attempts to verify it experimentally.
