Did Tesla Have The Solution To Todays Blackouts?

Perhaps so, my dear Lady Fox...perhaps so.

Shown are my other Electrostatic Machines, all hand-cranked except for the motor-driven unit, which generates 500,000 to 600,000 volts.

I admire your hard work Hal. Looks like it was a work of interest and adventure.

 

@Hal Pollner Ok now you are impressing me! Great craftsmanship and look like art sculptures. No electrical input required. I hope you display those proudly.

I once hooked an alternator to a stationary bike for charging my batteries when I lived off the grid. I had a wind generator, a small low output generator on the creek, and solar cells but they sometimes couldn't keep up with the current draw on my nickel-iron batteries. I had the deep cycle but replaced them with the nickel-iron.

 

Thanks, Lady Fox...I really appreciate positive comments coming from someone who knows a great deal about the subject!

I no longer have the two counter-rotating disc Bonetti machines, but I still have the small 12-inch Wimshurst Machine, which generates a mere 75,000 volts after a few turns of the crank!

I still have my 500,000 volt Van de Graaff Machine, which I ordered from a scientific apparatus company. Like Nikola Tesla himself, I was always fascinated by High Voltages.

Cheers,
Hal

 

Thanks, Martin!

My home-made machines could not have been built without the aid of this tool:

It wasn't a big, nor little secret , not a secret at all at one time.

The "genius minds" all got bribed/hired/ to provide more money instead of clean ways of energy and inexpensive ways of living - all about money in control.
