I know there are a lot of myth topics regarding Nicola Tesla. So why not just make an entire episode special on all things Tesla? And as a grand finale revisit the earthquake machine?

I'd love to see them test the "Fueless Generator" in which, as you put more draw on the generator, it supposedly generates more electricity. http://home.earthlink.net/~drestinblack/generator.htm

Also, I'd like to see them test the boundaryless turbine which is supposedly 98% efficient. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_turbine

Note: I've build the turbine out of CD's before. It's easy to make and run, I've just never tested this efficiency.



I would think these two Tesla inventions would be easy to test.

I agree. The electromechanical resonance device would be nice to see in action and you could find a building waiting to be demolished and try it out.

Tesla was a genius, but everything he built that works efficiently is either currently used or was used in the past. Many of his ideas did not work, however, like the earthquake machine. There's no need to do an episode on him because his ideas have already been exploited.

I haven't seen his "fueless generate" in use anywhere. I saw a "demo" of it once where, there was a string of light bulbs attached to the generator, as each one was turned on, the rest got brighter and brighter indicating that more electricity was being generated as more demand was put on the system.

I don't know of anyone running one of these generators, I'd love to see the MBs test this generator.

How about the inductive motor principle demonstration? I read somewhere that Tesla made a car-like vehicle travel up to 100 mph using the idea.
