  • Tesla Remaking: Why has no one tried to recreate ALL his inventions patents?

    I know most of you think mush of what Tesla claims is bunk besides the repeatable stuff that is in use today. I am not questioning weather any of it was feasable or not.

    MY REAL QUESTION IS: Does anyone know if ANYONE anywhere has tried to or is trying to remake/ recreate/reproduce His known patented Inventions from the beginning extrapolating there design from the patents which can be fairly easily found.

    I mean i see many people making a few of his inventions here and there but im of the mind that to know how somehting works one should repeat it all FROM the beginning not jus one here and there. I wonder if anyone is recreating them or has and if they did it with or attempted to with original parts or materials used.... Some might claim that a part is a part today or then but the older way of making things could have has side affect those similar modern parts do not have... and that side affect may have lead to some of his discoveries.

    Im not one of these people fair weather reading about his internet pushed claims of free energy... Though i wouldnt denie rediscovering his wireless transmission of energy would be profound what i am seeking moreso is the reasons why no one has tried to even COPY his devices not just the end device but all of them..... IE reading the articles from Popular Mechanics about his speach to the electrical engeneers in NY and in London and how they were awed by his electrical light show.... Ive looked and looked online and no one seesms to have remade this supposidly simple electrical device??? WHY? this and many others.... Samual clemens a friend and often visitor to his NY lab talked of many Wonders and machines.... there in his patents why are none remade???

  • Turning rate of 150CC engine before the gears?

    I know sounds weird and technical but I wanted to know how fast the engine was turning the (sprocket,or whetever its called) before it hits the gearing. so its maximum sustainable rotation speed/revolutions. And if you know that the average torque for th e same sized engine..... I know diffrent brands differ Im just looking for some close numbers doesnt have to be 100% exact.

  • Can Gearing Increase Horsepower if you have high RPMs?

    My question is this . Lets say you have an electric motor that is only one Mechanical Horsepower Yet has massive RPMs. You want to put this on a vehicle. Can gearing be used to turn the RPMs into Horsepower. IE sort of like on a 10 speed Bycicle at the start low gear is easy to turn but goes slow but the only reason it goes that slow is because its limited by the speed your legs can turn it right?
