Nikola Tesla had an Electric Pierce Arrow in 1930, the ICE engine was replaced by an electric motor. The power source is a black box of radio tubes, in the glove box. The box had an antenna coming out. Tesla would fool with some tuners and tune in the frequency of 240 volts and is supplied through the air for your car. The car ran almost silent. The car was hidden in a barn near Niguera Falls. He was sending the energy of the Central, in some way. He said that this power might be possible for everyone. JPMorgan did not like the idea, because where do you put the meter? Morgan stopped funding and Tesla Wardencliffe Torre was brought down. We were denied FREE power. Now we pay for gas and smog.
Here is the story: In 1930, Nikola Tesla asked his nephew, Petar Savo, who was born in Yugoslavia in 1899, to come to New York. Petar was 43 years younger than his uncle. Until then he had lived under stringent conditions in Yugoslavia, Tesla's country of birth. During the summer of 1931, Tesla took his nephew to Buffalo to unveil and test a new car. Tesla had developed their own personal funds.
It is a Pierce Arrow, one of the luxury cars of the era. The engine had been removed, leaving the clutch, gearbox and transmission to the rear wheels undisturbed. The gasoline engine has been replaced with a round, completely enclosed electric motor of about 1 m in length and 65cm in diameter, with a fan in the front. Presumably, it has no distributor. Tesla was not willing to say who had manufactured the engine. It is possibly one of the divisions of Westinghouse.
The "energy receiver" (gravitational energy converter) had been built by Tesla himself. The dimensions of the converter housing were approximately 60 x 25 x 15cm. Was installed in front of the dash. Among other things, the converter contained 12 vacuum tubes, of which three were from the 70-L-7 type. A large antenna approximately 1.8 meters long, came out of the converter. This antenna apparently the same function as in the Moray converter (see chapter on Radiant Energy). Furthermore, two thick rods protruded approximately 10cm from the converter housing.
Tesla pushed to say "We now have power." The engine reached a maximum of 1800rpm. Tesla said it was fairly hot when operating, and therefore a cooling fan is needed. In addition, he said there was enough energy in the converter to illuminate an entire house, besides running the car engine. The car was tested for a week, reaching a maximum speed of 90 miles per hour effortlessly. Its performance data at least comparable to that of an automobile using gasoline. At a stop sign, a passerby noted that no exhaust from the exhaust pipe. Petar answered "We have no engine." The car was kept on a farm, perhaps 20 miles outside of Buffalo, not far from Niagara Falls.
A few months after this test car, and due to the economic crisis at the time, Pierce Arrow had to stop production. It is very likely that the electrical interconnection between the engine and transmission has been made there. Pierce Arrow tools were purchased by Studebaker in South Bend. Not quite 30 years later, that company also vanished to form American Motors, along with Nash. Later, some of its fans attempted to resuscitate the Pierce Arrow. Unfortunately, were unsuccessful.
Thus, today the name of the company is in a mausoleum, along with others such as Horch, Maybach, Hispano-Suiza, Bugatti and Isotta Fraschini.
