  • Method for Powering Electric Vehicle with Electrostatic and AC Electricity
    Publication number: 20230302923
    Abstract: The Method uses Nikola Tesla's process for generating Electrostatic Electricity also called Cold Electricity by Tesla. A large Inverter powers the Generator where Radiant Electricity is created from high frequency high voltage Pulsed DC. A magnet is placed 90 degrees with the spark gap to remove the current (negative electrons) at the spark Gap leaving the flow of voltage. This significantly increases the voltage much more than the input voltage. Electrostatic Electricity mixes well with Regular Electricity because it is the voltage part of Regular Electricity with no current. The Frequency Transformer allows the Electrostatic and Regular Electricities to mix in separate coils.

    Patent number: 10832844
    Abstract: Disclosed is a dual phase, multi-frequency, electromagnetic generator that creates electromagnetic fields having a first phase on a first side of said electromagnetic generator and electromagnetic fields having a second phase on an opposite side of said electromagnetic generator. In addition, gaseous emission tubes generate light frequency signals on each side of the electromagnetic generator. Tesla coils are disposed at least partially within the cone of a conically shaped transmission coil to achieve a high degree of coupling between the conically shaped transmission coils and the Tesla coils. Sparks gaps are used to create a fast rise time signal, which creates multiple frequencies.

  • TUNABLE AND AIMABLE ARTIFICIAL LIGHTENING PRODUCING DEVICE
    Publication number: 20090059460
    Abstract: A tunable and aimable artificial lightning producing device for tetanizing human voluntary muscle, disabling vehicular electronic ignition systems, and for pre-detonating wired explosives. A spark gap shaping apparatus controls a spark generated by a Tesla coil. A first stage directionalizer warps a normally spherical plasma field from the Tesla coil into an oval plasma field for confining the spark to within that shape. A second stage directionalizer converges multiple beams to successive points just ahead of a plasma field created by the first stage directionalizer without ionizing the beams, thereby maintaining ionization of a path of the spark. The spark is progressively arced to these points, thereby maintaining the path of the spark.
