Tesla/Pierce-Arrow Car Basics
FOREWORD: First and most important, “THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX”, THROW AWAY THE BOX, this theory and circuit is VERY DIFFRENT from conventional thinking. No magic, no smoke, no mirrors, no batteries, no moving parts, just very old electrical theory never taught only shelved for unknown reason’s, although I believe it was J.P .Morgan, (General Electric), in the 1920’s that told Tesla quote, ”I don’t want to be just an antenna salesman”, but at that time Tesla was trying to “transmit” the power to be received, it wasn’t until the early 1930’s he discovered the power was all around us in MASSIVE quantities all that was needed was a tap. The tap was made by Dr. T. Henry Moray first, although his device’s output was high frequency and would not run a motor or inductive load. The “HEADWATERS” for his device was the same as the later Tesla/Pierce-Arrow automobile device but Tesla’s was a variable frequency device suitable for motor speed control. The device’s use a theory called “Splitting the positive”, simply explained, take just the positive from a 12v battery and connect to positive on a 12v incandescent bulb, then take just the positive from a 3v battery and connect to minus on same bulb and connect both battery minus’s together to complete circuit and bulb will burn with the 9v differential. The circuit I have come up with uses the same “Splitting the positive” theory.
HEADWATERS: In a sense we have a crystal set tuned at say 76hz, picked up from maybe the sun or the vibration of the earth rotating or moving through space, we don’t know which but the sun puts out the full radio spectrum so I suspect a suitable device could be built to pick it up. To extract this and make it useable we use instead of a gang tuning capacitor, we wind “bobbin coil’s” on two separate ferrite iron core’s, these core’s, parallel to each other, are moved closer or farther apart until tuning is achieved between coil’s. While acting as capacitance the coil’s also step up the voltage and impart this onto the iron core, the coil’s are wound on core’s in opposite direction’s to achieve a polyphase effect between the two core’s. Now the resultant “ringing” of the iron core’s at 76hz with a now stepped up to say 25 or 35 volt’s will cause the random flying atom’s near each iron core to be imparted with the 76hz at 30v and will be placed in an orderly orbit around iron core’s to be collected for our use. Lets say each iron core’s bobbin coil’s consist of ; Primary’s say 4, and two set's of secondary’s, 2 coil’s for controls, and 8 coil’s for our main “CURRENT COLLECTOR TUBE“, and this is per iron core. The 2 control coil’s run the variable trigger 30v oscillator. The 8 CURRENT COLLECTOR TUBE coil’s provide our high voltage (2 to 4 thousand volt’s) needed to collect sufficient current to run motor’s or “lifters” grid’s through the device’s OUTPUT TUBE’S. This is our VOLTAGE. This covers the two "rod's" that were "pushed in" to turn on the device. They were nothing more than simple ferrite iron rod's, transformer core's call them. These core's can be partially inserted into the primary to bring crystal device up, at the same time into control coil for a load, then when controls were up the core's are pushed all the way in to finally couple in high voltage secondary to bring current collector tube on line. Inductive coupling no "magic".
CURRENT COLLECTOR and OUTPUT TUBES: The CURRENT COLLECTOR TUBE consist of two anodes opposite each other with a “breakdown” gap on the ends facing each other. This gap is designed to provide a sufficient transfer of electron’s to prevent visible spark but allow current collector “bobbin” coil’s on ferrite iron core’s to build up to and maintain 2 to 4 thousand volt’s, remember the coil’s act as capacitor’s and will build up voltage until they burn up unless they are discharged. The discharge of 4000v at 76hz is captured on a pickup plate and fed to a “fairly thick” CURRENT COLLECTOR ROD, which like the ferrite iron core’s is imparted with 4000v 76hz, “ringing” the rod and causing atoms near rod to pick up same voltage and frequency and be made available for our use. This is our output CURRENT.
The OUTPUT TUBE’S are designed much like the current collector tube, an anode sized for designed output current is opposed by a smaller trigger conductor. The anode is fed through a resistor from the current collector rod. The trigger is fed through same size resistor but power from current collector rod goes through a variable voltage TRIGGER TUBE so trigger voltage and rate can be controlled to vary output from output tube plate. This is where we use the “Splitting the positive” theory, anode at 4000v and trigger at 4000v, we have no output to plate. Begin to LOWER the trigger voltage and breakdown across gap begins causing anode to “shed” its charge which is picked up by the plate, this is our final output. It can be fed directly to a “lifter’s” control surface and varied for control or using 2 output tube’s running at different voltage’s say 4000v for one and 3880v for the other, a 120v differential is achieved to run device’s like an electric motor, the Tesla/Pierce-Arrow, our oven, air conditioner, heater, ... .
TRIGGER TUBES: The trigger tube’s are designed similar to an old triode vacuum tube. This was most likely an integral part of each output tube in both Moray and Tesla design’s but for testing mine will be separate. This tube consists of only three conductors, a cathode, grid and plate, and uses a “cold cathode” no heater. The cathode, this conductor is our control for this entire device. It’s operation is as follow's - the voltage applied to this cathode will be none or zero volt’s down into the minus range. To make it function - at zero volt’s the tube is “cut off”, no flow occurs between grid and plate and plate voltage is at its lowest at this point causing trigger voltage in output tube to be at it’s lowest resulting in FULL power output from output tube. As cathode voltage on trigger tube is LOWERED down into minus volt’s say -30v, trigger tube is fully “on” and max flow occurs between grid and plate and plate voltage is at it’s highest at this point causing trigger voltage in output tube to be equal to it’s anode voltage resulting in no power output from output tube and this completes our cycle from max volt’s output to zero volt’s output from output tube. This cover's the "three special tube's in the wooden box in his pocket". They were two combination trigger/output tube's and one current collector tube. Tesla made his own H.I.D. light bulb's, a few special tube's were nothing for him.
NOTES: [1] All described tube’s most likely had a vacuum pulled on them and may also have been charged with a gas like argon or nitrogen.
[2] I believe Tesla had a metal gang variable capacitor connected to the accelerator pedal, this varied the “firing” frequency of the trigger tubes cathode’s through a variable frequency oscillator circuit giving variable frequency output for motor speed control. By having only two wire’s coming from the motor it was most likely a 120v or 220v single phase motor. At reported 50,000 watts device output that’s about 67hp but with as large physical size as described it had plenty of torque.
Having reportedly made only one of these device’s and his papers and thought’s on them either destroyed or in AREA 51 we will never know his future thought’s on this device. I suspect using only one current collector tube and rod, additional pair’s of output tube’s could be added and “fired” in such an order to create a polyphase or three phase or more effect allowing three phase or more motors to be used.
[3] Last and most important , the output from output tube’s will BE HIGH VOLTAGE all the way to some point in winding or device where the two output’s meet, therefore wiring must have HIGH VOLTAGE insulation or isolation transformer with high voltage insulated primary’s to use 600v wiring in secondary circuit’s.

Thanks for your invite to your site. It's good to see people working on this device. As for clairification, nothing is clear about this device or theory execpt that we all seem to be on the case. My internet savy, not so good and I am having NO success trying to copy my schematic and drawing here for ya'll to ponder but fear not I will be successful, someday.
