At the bottom of this page are two diagrams sent to me by Andy Janson. They purport to be similar to the circuits that Nikola Tesla is said to have used in his fabled Pierce-Arrow electric car in the summer of 1931.

As the story goes, he had the gasoline engine removed and replaced with a 80kW electric motor. He then installed a mysterious "black box" from which rods protruded. Wires connected the box to the motor, providing it with enough electric power to achieves speeds of over 90 mph.

What was inside that box remains a mystery. It wasn't large enough to house the batteries of the time or a generator. It is presumed that it contained some type of circuitry that was able to tap into and dramatically amplify the energy that Tesla believed is all around us.

The circuitry below shows two antennas that are believed to correspond to Tesla's two rods, one for energy input and the other for output. Between them are vacuum tubes and resistors that connect to the 80 hp AC induction motor, another Tesla invention. In essence, the earth is a huge battery that Tesla believed he could inductively (wirelessly) plug into with one antenna representing the positive electrode and the other the negative.

Not being an electrical engineer, I asked our Tech Editor, Mike Brace for his analysis of the circuits. A former aerospace engineer, he noted there...

... has been a proposal for years to put a tethered satellite in geo-synchronous orbit using a conductive tether line. As the tether 'cuts' through the earth's magnetic field (due to the earth's rotation) it would generate substantial electricity. But that is an awfully long antenna. I am not too sure how he proposes to generate that much electricity from such small amount of line. Maybe the occiliations have something to do with it...

There is enough evidence to suggest that Tesla did [indeed] discover a way to generate enough electricity from a small box to drive a car around, but that secret was buried with him.



NOTE: I ran across this piece late today...not sure how old it is but it is interesting. Some of our readers are Tesla enthusiasts and have a page and thread on Phantoms and Monsters Wiki - Tesla, Leadskalin, Hutchison & Others...Lon

Hi, all. Having studied Tesla and engineering for years, I can give you a reasonably accurate answer to this mystery. Please feel free to use it to create what you will. It'll be fun to watch the race. Ready?

Tesla's little "black box" is simply a scale model of the earth.
The earth can be said to operate as kind of AC motor, with it's own harmonics and operating frequency, driven by the sun via the poles; this frequency is well known, but unexploited. The sun puts out a tremendous (though variable) amount of energy, which the earth absorbs and "operates" off of in the form of heat and EM. That's what Tesla created with his opposing antennae and tubes, the integral AC motor serving as a kind of electromagnetic turbine.

Tangentially, just as the sun creates intense "black spot" vortices, the earth does the same thing, potentially resulting in: weather. The spinning and warming and cooling of the air masses explains some of what we see, but look at spontaneous cloud generation, which swirls/boils in 3 dimensions from a sot as if a powerful stream of EM energy were exiting the earth. Thought I'd drop that in while I was here.

Anyway, it should be a relatively simple -- and cheap -- thing to create Tesla's black box with currently available technology. Just tune the device to the earth's resonant frequency, then a harmonic thereof, and see what happens. This "free energy" angle is one of the main reasons why hardly anyone has heard of Tesla, and why his journals were confiscated by the government so long ago: they make making money from oil and coal and the selling of energy a lot more difficult. Alas, in the end, like 9/11, it all comes down to money.
