Atomic Electricity- Updated
DC electrostatic motors, with a measured efficiency of over 99%, were built at MIT by Professor John Trump.,and described in the Jan. 1947 meeting of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers.
Dr.Trump was the main gov't official, that went over Tesla's secret papers , after his death in 1943.
At the time, the well known electrical engineer, was serving as a technical aide to the Nat'l Defense Research Committee of the Office of Scientific Research & Development.
He was asked to participate in the examination of Tesla's papers at the Manhattan Warehouse & Storage Co.
Dr. Trump reported afterwards, that no examination had been made of the vast amount of Tesla's property, that had been in the basement of the New Yorker Hotel, ten years prior to Tesla's death, or of any of his papers, except those in his immediate possession at the time of his death.
Dr. Trump concluded in his report, that there was nothing that would constitute a hazard in unfriendly hands.
Dr. John G. Trump, evidently used Tesla's ideas and incorporated them into his motors, after WW11, as Tesla's knowledge of radioactivity and his views were well known since the days of radium, and Madam Curie
The motors resemble the variable capacitors used in tuning a radio set, except the rotors can spin around continuously, instead of intermeshing with a stationary plate, to tune in a station. In the simplest version, a radioactive isotope coated plate emits beta rays (electrons) in a vacuum, between two ordinary plates of metal on a shaft.
The electrons fly out at high speeds and strike the surrounding metal plates, thus endowing them with a negative charge.
The charge builds up until the uncoated plates reach a voltage corresponding to the kinetic energy of the electrons. If the electrons are ejected from the isotope with a speed corresponding to a million volts, they would be able to fly to the opposite plate in the face of a field of a million volts.
In the simplest fashion an electric load is connected to the coated and uncoated plates to run some kind of DC motor. (Visualize the Tesla Turbine, as an analogy, invented in the early 1900's as an analogy, modernized )
The atomic electricity motors are built into a vacuum enclosed container, and operate at extremely high voltages. There are no magnetic fields, and no heavy currents that cause the ordinary kind of loses encountered in electric motors of conventional design.
This is a DC, brushless motor.
One motor of this kind can be driven by a beta-ray generator, and the whole apparatus can be enclosed into one vacuum cannister and run from a radioactive isotope that would be immediately converted into mechanical energy.
This mechanical system can be used to drive machinery, or operate a type of electrical generator more suitable to present systems of power distribution
This means that the direct conversion of nuclear power into electronic power, using the electrons from the nucleus, rather than those of from it's outer orbits, which has been the immediate source of all our electric power up to the present time.
