    Nikola Tesla, the man who made our world possible. There are many rumors about whether or not tesla actually created a device that creates Free/Alternative Energy. Nikola Tesla did not create a Free/Alternative energy source because, physics would not allow it, also there is no physical evidence to prove this energy source, and most websites that claim he did are not credible. First, I need to clarify what I mean when I say Free/Alternative energy. Free energy is the creation of energy…

    Nikola Tesla and The War Of Currents When you are watching a movie and it gets just a little too loud it only takes a click of a button to fix that, and when you want to remember a moment forever all it takes is a little raise of a camera and a click. Nikola accomplished many great things in his lifetime. Simple things that make life easier are often overlooked, but we have Nikola Tesla to thank for many; Tesla developed the alternating-current electrical system that is widely used today.…

    Fig. 3. Schematic Diagram of Power Line Guardians (“PLG”) PLGs are also used to give the real-time data on the lines such as: line current, conductor temperature, frequency, sag [17]-[21]. Fig. 4. The PLG communications system. The diagram (Fig.4) shows the PLG communications system. PLGs (blue) control the power flows on the lines. Super PLGs (red) can control both the power flows and the PLGs. These Super PLGs are also used to communicate with Energy Management Systems (EMS) and allow…

    But in Norton’s Theorem the equivalent circuit has a current source and a resistance in parallel with the load resistance (R_X). Continued on next page: HOW IS IT USED When using Norton’s Theorem the load resistance is removed and replaced with a short (wire) and points labeled A and B. The reason to label the points A and B is to show where the meter would measure the unknown voltage and current associated with the load resistance. Next the load resistor is placed into…

    before they both parted ways. He sold many patent rights, including those to his alternating-current machinery, to George Westinghouse. His invention the tesla coil that he built in 1891 is still used in radio technology to this day. Tesla eventually died in New York City on January 7, 1943. Tesla didn't get as many patents as Edison did, he only obtained around 300 patents and sold his Alternating Current…
