How can we utilize Tesla's free energy tower idea to make a practical machine supplying wireless energy?

Question

I want to make a small version (only if it would be easy) to get free wireless energy for at least a couple acres of range. I haven't done that much research on his invention, so sorry if this seems very impractical. If you can give me step-by-step instructions on how to do this, and it works, I'll give you 10 points! (I was only a little sarcastic.)

Answer 1

Tesla was a brilliant and underrated genius who was ripped off by several people and never got the acclaim he deserved for his inventions. But the basic problem with his wireless power transmission system is finding a form of radiant energy that can be generated, transmitted and absorbed with almost 100% efficiency, but is only absorbed by the receiver, not by anything else. We haven't had much luck finding one. Take microwaves. You can turn electricity into a beam of microwaves, transmit them through space or air and convert them back to electricity reasonably efficiently. It's been suggested as a way to get energy from solar panels in space down to Earth. But if you get in the way, you get cooked. Then there's neutrinos. A beam carrying megawatts of energy in the form of neutrinos would be completely safe; you'd hardly absorb any of them. But they're difficult to generate efficiently and almost impossible to intercept and convert into useful energy. Similarly with gravity waves. But if you want to build just a demo, microwaves are your best bet. A model helicopter powered by an electric motor has been kept aloft by a beam of microwaves generated on the ground. The chopper consists of a grid of diodes to intercept the microwave beam and convert it to DC, which is then fed to the motor which turns the rotors. Just don't get in the way of the beam.

Answer 2

Tesla had a mental health problem that got worse as he got older, toward the end of his life some people were saying he was mad, he certainly had no control over his spendthrift ways.
Wickipedia has a time line account of his life and inventions and the free energy tower was one of the last things he made which ended in complete failure.

Answer 3

At this second they say its a win win situation for them and us. We use a lot less electric powered and they could perchance positioned again construction or including on to power flowers saving even more effective money. yet there's a gloomy area to all of this that places a huge challenge to the destiny, those bulbs include Mercury a threat it really is think to be deposed in a particular waste disposal. also if those bulbs wreck in the homestead they're a threat and think to require particular clean up. i imagine we prefer to watch for a purifier bulb

Answer 4

It wouldn't be 'easy' in any sense of the word. And it would also probably involve several thousand dollars worth of materials. Tesla had some very kewl ideas, but most of them were totally impractical.

Answer 5

he took all that knowledge with him after his car accident and his facility burned down and he then died sorry that I couldn't be of that much assistance but look into the use of the new batteries that they are coming out with for power line electric storage they will probably be used in electric cars in the future the first land speed record was done by an electric car and was just broke again by another electric car check it out on the discovery.com site

Answer 6

it's not a "free energy" tower. it is more like a wireless transmitter. but hey, good luck with that. the government shut him down because they thought that he was trying to make a DEATH RAY. which, for all i know, he was.

Answer 7

i dont kno what that means..............
