you never talked about why the building shook when he turned on the oscillator. From what I understand, it's because everything has a frequency and if you get really close to that frequency, you can excite and cause waves through that object. I'm not sure if I explained it correctly but it's a lot like the singing bowls or a wine glass when you use it to make sound.

Even very high precision CNC mills generate a slight bit of eclipse. At the end of the day the a circle on a machine like this is really the combination of two linear axises. When you come to the top and bottom or left and right ends of the axises the machine head has inertia and can't come to a dead stop instantly which typically results in some error. Hence why things which require high precision circular features often times use drills and reamers to accomplish this. You can use circular interpolation but the error will always be there.

This has a very similar mechanism to an air file. They work almost exactly the same way by using a piston that redirects air based on its position in order to oscillate, only here the oscillation is used to file away material rather than power a generator. Also you can tune a printer in order to prevent them from printing ovals but it can be very tedious and may not be to the level of accuracy you need for an air tight fit

Attention. At the time of the student Tesla, the generators (Dynamo) and commutator DC engines were already known. Tesla's "oscillation" machine was never realized. Tesla only suggested the way of direct conversion of the oscillating movement of the steam engine without the use of the crankshaft and the flywheel. What caused a small earthquake was a rotary regulator using cams that were to become a replacement for the original Watt regulator.

Great video! I appreciate the historical aspects you shared, as well as your very clever redesign. Pneumatic needle scalers use this exact piston arrangement to create oscillating motion, by the way.

1:13 Did you actually print that out just for the sole purpose of doing that? Hats off.

The way you have the magnets oriented, the magnetic field is parallel to the windings so they don't really cut thru the windings much. You should try orienting the magnets 90 degrees so the magnetic field cuts thru the windings for their entire length of travel instead of only at the extreme ends of the oscillation.

With external valve gear you've basically replicated a steam engine.

3:50 Kids, don't do PLA. Or whatever the filament is.

@Integza the reason you are stopping in the middle isn't due solely to weight based inertia but instead is due to not having the air spring on the same shaft. The spring would have imparted force at the end of each stroke that wouldn't be countered until it reached near the end of the next stroke meaning while there would be zero imparted force at the center it would have already been made to move both by the air flow and the spring stored power. Additionally, the cause of the 'earthquake' effect is actually due to the outlet hole on his original design. This can be thought of as similar to a woofer cone where the linear oscillating motion interrupts the airflow causing essentially pulsed air to get pushed into the ground (which the system was originally designed to be bolted to in order to prevent the vibration from physically moving the device.) which if it reaches mechanical resonance with the design of an structure will very easily lead to catastrophic failure. A simple analog is if you just take a big sub (at least 15") and point it at the ground with enough clearance to still allow open airflow, then using a frequency generator and amplifier run it at different frequencies ranging from

That would be amazing! Please share the results :D

It has a lot in common with a phase locked loop; electronic circuits very good at oscillating at specific frequencies. Yes, the piston moves up and down, but the housing, attached to the building, is moving as well. Piston goes up, there is a small 'recoil' pushing housing down. Newton said something about this. The slight movement of the housing+beams is enough to subtlety change the timing of the steam-valves opening and closing. This in turn affects motion of the piston. Positive feedback. If the beam is flexing up, the valves are in a different place than when the beam is flexing down. There are two oscillators operating at once; the piston and the housing+steel beams. The resonant frequency of the steel beams in the building can quickly be 'found' as a phase relationship because the oscillators.

I built one of these 7years ago out of stainless and brass for fun. I did not use round magnets. I used 3 earth bar magnets and had each pass a steel bars made of plates and wire wrapped around each sticking out sideways like in his design. It actually makes about 35 volts to charge a cap bank like was intended

Maybe the problem is that, at every moment the magnet is moving inside the coil, the intensity of the magnetic field increases in a part of the coil while it decreases in the other part. The induced voltages cancel each other.

Good proof of concept and more from you makes me keep watching keep up with the R&D and you will perfect it

Also to make piston heavier you can have just simple holes for additional metal to be attached, or even magnets to push piston out from center and top piston out of corners :)

The Spring Piston is there to make sure the device never rests in the central position by the exact mechanism you talked about earlier, once its in motion it dose not want to stop and as such pushes the second main piston area into the second stage of the injection.

YT algorithms sent me here, and the recycling bit was hilarious. Gold!

The 'fun' part of Tesla's design is that the timing of the valves is affected by the velocity of the base of the unit. To put it another way, any vibration in the base of the unit is going to affect the phase and frequency of the oscillator. Strap the oscillator to a steel beam, and it will 'find' the fundamental frequency of that structure automatically.

This kind of in piston valve is pretty common on Lego projects. You can increase inertia by connecting it to a flywheel. The interesting thing is this design is reversible! You can either connect the inlet to positive or negative pressures relative to the atmosphere. Of course, the behavior would not the exactly the same. The flywheel's inertia also works as part of the "restorative force" of the cycle, instead of a spring...

Similar "inversed" Designs are used as linear actuators and linear compressors, f.e. in fridges. I would say, compressors are reversed steam engines.
