I hope he keeps these original fabrications... the Lada experimentation is rather repeatable... these things are one of a kind.

@@gmspeedgarage3697 Nikola Tesla never had any kind of free energy, and he also never claimed it. He attempted to transmit electrical energy without cables through the air. Some mistake this project as free energy, which is false. The energy which would have been transmitted would have been produced in conventional power stations, oil, coal, water. But Tesla erred with this project, it never worked and can't work.

[@dodgydruid]

I did this and variations of this back in the eighties, even went very far down the route of patenting the whole idea back in '99 but didn't follow through. I hit on making an engine when working for an avionics company called Muirhead Vestric, I actually used the insanely powerful magnets from a Harrier aircraft system motor and some very strong stainless steel rodding to make con rods and crankshaft and high expense jewelled bearings again from the trusty Harrier stuff. My patent covered also X and Y shaped configurations which could be modular bolted together to make multiples and used to replace petrol engines size for size. Had different concepts of air and magnetic bearings on the crankshaft preferring magnetic bearings for low friction and general air cooling with heat exchangers for anything that got very hot but my prototype ran perfectly for as long as one wanted, virtually no friction and just continual power motion.

[@mike97525]

Designing a magnetic engine involves creating a system that utilizes magnetic fields to produce mechanical work. Here's a simplified outline of how you could design one: Understanding Magnetic Fields: Before designing a magnetic engine, it's crucial to have a solid understanding of magnetic fields and their properties. This includes knowledge of electromagnetism and how magnetic fields interact with one another. Choose Magnetic Materials: Select appropriate magnetic materials for your engine, such as neodymium magnets or electromagnets. Consider factors like magnetic strength, durability, and cost. Design the Engine Components: Stator: This stationary part of the engine contains the magnets or electromagnets that generate the magnetic field. Rotor: The rotor is the moving part of the engine that interacts with the magnetic field to produce mechanical work. It may contain magnets or be induced to create its own magnetic field. Arrange Magnets: Place magnets on the stator and rotor in a configuration that maximizes the interaction between magnetic fields. This may involve alternating the polarity of magnets or arranging them in a specific pattern. Control System: Develop a control system to regulate the magnetic field strength and direction, as well as the movement of the rotor. This could involve electronic circuits and sensors to detect the position and speed of the rotor. Mechanical Components: Integrate mechanical components such as shafts, bearings, and gears to transmit the rotational motion produced by the engine to useful work, such as driving a generator or a vehicle. Testing and Optimization: Test the engine prototype to evaluate its performance, efficiency, and reliability. Make adjustments and optimizations as necessary to improve its operation. Safety Considerations: Ensure that the design incorporates safety features to prevent accidents or damage from the strong magnetic fields generated by the engine. Efficiency Improvement: Continuously refine the design to enhance efficiency, reduce energy losses, and optimize the performance of the magnetic engine. Environmental Impact: Consider the environmental impact of the engine's materials, operation, and disposal. Aim to minimize any negative effects and explore options for using renewable energy sources to power the engine.

The thing is, a machine somewhat like this can actually work. There are certain criteria that need to be met to make it work, and even more specification to make it work well.

This is pretty much one of the better ways to build a demonstration motor to show kids etc, except one set of magnets has to be electromagnets so you can turn them on and off at the appropriate times. Putting a small electric motor on the crank shaft is of course the other way to do it but there is something cool about seeing the “pistons” actually pushing and the kids can fiddle with the timing etc.

The law of conservation of energy is a fundamental natural law derived empirically and is one of several conservation laws in physics. It states that the total energy of a closed system is constant with respect to time, i.e. persists over time. In other words, energy can be converted from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed.
