READ THIS FIRST 5 things to know about this eBook

1. This eBook is best read using Adobe Acrobat Reader

2. This eBook is a direct electronic representation of the physical book, therefore, it is not optimized for viewing on a computer screen. You’ll need to scroll up and down to read the columns. We kept it this way to allow reference, to exact locations in all versions, when answering questions or addressing corrections.

3. The eBook page numbers may not match the PDF �le page numbers. In ‘print’ books, there are commonly a number of pages, at the front and back, that are not numbered or use Roman numerals. PDF �les typically start by numbering the front cover page 1. All our references to pages in this eBook will assume the ‘print’ page numbering.

4. This eBook has full page links over most of it’s pages. Clicking on a page will connect you to the Eagle-Research website (usually the Resources Section). Scroll using the sidebar.

5. This eBook was ‘State of Art’ when it was initially published. Today it is still excellent basic information. However, as always, our technologies improve, and information becomes obsolete, faster than we can print,publish and circulate updates.

EAGLE-RESEARCH MISSION

Eagle-Research is an organization that develops anddistributes practical energy solutions.

We define practical as simple, inexpensive,environmentally-considerate, easy to build, lowmaintenance and, applicable to small scale energyneeds.

We gather information from diverse sources, performcomprehensive experiments using rigorous standards,then publish how-to books to share the results with otherresearchers and the general public.

We believe that writing books insures that thesetechnologies will be secured public knowledge, and thatour patent-free philosophy promotes increasingly betterenergy solutions.

Eagle-Research does not accept government grants.The money from the sale of our books and devices isused to finance on-going research.

EAGLE-RESEARCH ADVOCATES PATENT-FREE TECHNOLOGY“I differ from most inventors in many ways. For one, I actually make my living and finance continued researchby inventing. Two, I don’t hold-back ‘secrets’ of myinnovations. Three, I do not patent my work. It isdistributed worldwide as public knowledge, so no oneelse can patent it either.

Actually, the patent office is very inefficient and peoplehave gotten patents on my technology... usually to fraudinvestors. However, the patent is worthless. Patent lawstates public domain information is not patentable.

FINANCING OUR RESEARCHAs more work and research gets done, we will writefurther books in each of our lines of research. By writinga series of books in this manner, we can keep youupdated on the latest information on energy savingresearch. Selling information is how we make money tocontinue our research. Therefore, you will not doyourself or your friends a favour if you copy this book todistribute to your friends. In doing so, you deprive us offunds to advance the research that will help us all.

DISCLAIMERThis book is sold for research and/or experimentalpurposes only. Therefore the results, which will varyaccording to the user’s knowledge, expertiseand applicationshould be considered strictly experimental.George Wiseman, his associates and/or distributors,assume no responsibility for damage or injury due to thereader’s use or misuse of information or instructionspresented herein.

Although care is taken to present accurate information: “If we knew what would happen, it wouldn’t be anexperiment.” Therefore, the author will not retroactivelyinform or reimburse buyers if (when) there are correctionsor updates to this book. Contact Eagle-Research for thelatest developments.

If the conditions outlined in the proceeding paragraphs arenot acceptable, the buyer will return the book immediatelyto the seller, for a full refund.

WORK IN PROGRESSEagle-Research is a research and developmentorganization dedicated to finding the best possible energysolutions.

Because the nature of research and development is anevolving process, we are continually improving on thetechnologies we are working with.

Though we’re proud of our commitment to constant andnever-ending improvement, we do recognize there is anunfortunate side-effect: Our ‘best’ today will pale incomparison to our ‘best’ tomorrow.

At any given date, the Eagle-Research discoveries, whichare distributed in the form of web information; books; videosor devices, are at varying stages of development.

Therefore, by the time our most up-to-date ‘best’ can becompiled, organized, produced & distributed, we’ve alreadyimproved upon the information. We’re working as fast aswe can.

INTRODUCTION

Yugoslavian born Nikola Tesla(1856 - 1943) was undoubtedly avisionary of profound impact. Hewas a prolific writer, had anextraordinary ability to visualize,and his inventions were so farahead of his time that we have stillnot caught up.

Even a mere glance through a fairaccount of Nikola Tesla inspires,causes one’s mouth to drop openand one’s heart to sink. Wherecould human civilization be now ifTesla’s genius had been fairly andfully celebrated? Perhaps, more tothe point: Where couldn’t we be?

It is because of Nikola Tesla’slegacy of inspiration that Eagle-Research, Inc. (ER) and many otheradmirers pay their respects to hiswork by whatever means they areable.

In this case, ER has compiled thislist of Nikola Tesla’s patents in thehopes of helping others to learnfrom and take further steps with hiswork.

To avoid having to repeat thecontact information fro documentsources, the sources have beenlisted in the beginning of thisbooklet.

Example: I will refer to● "Source A", which is UniversityMicrofilms. The source where ERobtained the document, not the

Inspiration—that is what he gave toother inventors whose endeavors hislife spanned, and that is what hiswork continues to give to technicalspecialists in these times. On theoccasion of Tesla’s seventy-fifthbirthday (1931), his contemporarieswrote that his lectures where thenboth as imaginative and inspirationalto productive development as whenthey were first published forty yearsbefore that:

In reading of Tesla’s work one isconstantly struck by his manysuggestions which have anticipatedlater developments in the radio art.

(Louis Cohen)

There are three aspects of Tesla’swork which particularly deserve ouradmiration: The importance of theachievements in themselves, asjudged by their practical bearing; thelogical clearness and purity ofthought, with which the argumentsare pursued and new resultsobtained; the vision and theinspiration, I should almost say thecourage, of seeing remote things farahead and so opening up newavenues to mankind.

(I. C. M. Brentano)

Today, we yet find that the writings ofTesla retain their undiminished powerof inspirational endeavor to thereader. Tesla was indeed out of histime, and this biography represents adistinct achievement in overcomingunusual investigative obstacles tobring his remarkable story to life.

...”Not to stagger on being shownthrough the laboratory of NikolaTesla” McGovern would later recall,“requires the possession of anuncommonly sturdy mind...

“Fancy yourself seated in a large,well-lighted rom, with mountains ofcurious-looking machinery on allsides. A tall, thin young man walksup to you, and by merely snappinghis fingers creates instantaneously aball of leaping red flame, and holds itcalmly in his hands. As you gaze youare surprised to see it does not burnhis fingers. He lets it fall upon isclothing, on his hair, into your lap,and, finally, puts the ball of flame intoa wooden box. You are amazed tosee that nowhere does the flameleave the slightest trace, and you rubyour eyes to make sure you are notasleep.”

If McGovern was baffled by Tesla’sfireball, he was at least not alone.None of his contemporaries couldexplain how Tesla produced this oft-repeated effect, and no one canexplain it today. ...

WHO IS GEORGE WISEMAN

George Wiseman is the founder and president ofEagle-Research, a non-profit organization thatdevelops and distributes energy-saving solutions.He is multi-talented and multi-degreed, but singularin his mission: to promote self-sufficiency at theindividual level by discovering and sharing the best,all-around, practical solutions.

George attributes his self-reliance, resourcefulnessand commitment to our natural environment, to hisrural roots. “Dad didn’t believe in having anyequipment on the place (hobby farms in Montana,Oregon, Alaska and finally a ranch in BritishColumbia) that we couldn’t fix ourselves. We hadrunning water if we ran and got it. And electricitywas something that came in batteries”. His farm-grown, western cowboy philosophy combine wellwith his inventor persona to create a world-classvisionary. He takes the hand-up rather than thehand-out approach to everything.

Since 1984, George has been making his living asan inventor and author. His fuel-savers have gainedhim a worldwide following of satisfied consumerswho eagerly pursue his work for new offerings.George continues to impress his customers, peersand competition with practical innovations that canbe successfully home-built. His latest product, theERxxxx WaterTorch, is making great waves indozens of industries around the globe.

As much as anything, it’s his commitment to patent-free technology development that has earnedGeorge Wiseman a champion reputation. Openlysharing research findings benefits everyone byconstantly elevating the standards of viable energysolutions.

George’s work has been featured on radio and innewspapers around North America and at many‘alternative’ energy gatherings including theInternational Tesla Society Symposiums and ExoticResearch Conferences.

He lives with his bride, Tenaj, and their brood of cats,in a lush valley of the Rocky Mountains.

CASTLE PROJECTEagle-Research (George Wiseman) in cooperationwith Being Unlimited (Tenaj DaCosta Wiseman) arein the initial stages of creating their ultimate dream.They envision a world-renowned educational energycentre designed to find, develop and harness theunique genius inside each of us.

The centre will be open to allsorts of creative-thinkers intheir respective fields:inventors; writers; healingarts practitioners; feng shuispecialists; architects;illustrators; horticulturalists;fitness experts…
