Tesla's oscillator
Tesla's electro-mechanical oscillator is a steam-powered electric generator patented by Nikola Tesla in 1893.〔(W. Bernard Carlson, Tesla: Inventor of the Electrical Age, pages 181-185 )〕〔Reciprocating Engine, , February 6, 1894.〕 Later in life Tesla claimed one version of the oscillator caused an earthquake in New York City in 1898, gaining it the popular culture title "Tesla's earthquake machine".
==Description==
Tesla's oscillator is a reciprocating electricity generator. Steam would be forced into the oscillator, and exit through a series of ports, pushing a piston up and down that was attached to an armature, causing it to vibrate up and down at high speed, producing electricity. The casing was by necessity very strong, as temperatures due to pressure heating in the upper chamber exceeded 200 degrees, and the pressure reached 400psi. Some versions used air trapped behind the piston as an "air spring", increasing efficiency. Another variation used electromagnets to control the frequency of the piston's oscillation.
Tesla developed many versions of the oscillator and looked on it as a possible replacement for inefficient reciprocating steam engines used to turn generators, but it was superseded by the development of highly efficient steam turbines. Tesla also used the highly regular tunable oscillation of the device to set frequency in his high frequency electrical and wireless transmission experiments.〔 There are also claims it had a physiological effect on people subjected to its vibrations in that it acted as a laxative causing people to immediately run to the bathroom afterwards.〔(Judy Wearing, Edison's Concrete Piano: Flying Tanks, Six-Nippled Sheep, Walk-On-Water Shoes - TRY NOT TO BE TOO WEIRD - NICOLA TESLA'S EARTHQUAKE MACHINE )〕
