EAGLE-RESEARCH MISSION Eagle-Research is an organization that develops and distributes practical energy solutions. We define practical as simple, inexpensive, environmentally-considerate, easy to build, low maintenance and, applicable to small scale energy needs. We gather information from diverse sources, perform comprehensive experiments using rigorous standards, then publish how-to books to share the results with other researchers and the general public. We believe that writing books insures that these technologies will be secured public knowledge, and that our patent-free philosophy promotes increasingly better energy solutions. Eagle-Research does not accept government grants. The money from the sale of our books and devices is used to finance on-going research.

EAGLE-RESEARCH ADVOCATES PATENT-FREE PATENT-FREE TECHNOLOGY “I differ from most inventors in many many ways. For one, I actually make my living and finance continued research by inventing. Two, I don’t hold-back ‘secrets’ of my innovations. Three, I do not patent my work. It is distributed worldwide as public knowledge, so no one else can patent it either. Actually, Actually, the patent office is very inefficient and people have gotten patents on my technology... technology... usually to fraud investors. However, the patent patent is worthless. Patent law states public domain information is not patentable.

FINANCING OUR RESEARCH As more work and research gets done, we will write further books in each of our lines of research. By writing a series of books in this manner, we can keep you updated on the latest information on energy saving research. Selling information information is how we make money money to continue our research. Therefore, you will not do yourself or your friends a favour if you copy this book to distribute to your friends. friends. In doing so, you deprive us of funds to advance the research that will help us all.

WORK IN PROGRESS Eagle-Research is a research and development organization dedicated to finding the best possible energy solutions. Because the nature of research and development is an evolving process, we are continually improving on the technologies we are working with. Though we’re proud of our commitment to constant and never-ending improvement, we do recognize there is an unfortunate side-effect: side-effect: Our ‘best’ today will pale in comparison to our ‘best’ tomorrow. tomorrow. At any given date, the Eagle-Research discoveries, which are distributed in the form of web information; books; videos or devices, are at varying stages of development. Therefore, by the time our most up-to-date up-to-date ‘best’ can be compiled, organized, produced & distributed, we’ve already improved upon the information. information. We’re working as fast fast as we can.

INTRODUCTION Yugoslavian born Nikola Tesla (1856 - 1943) was undoubtedly a visionary of profound profound impact. He was a prolific writer, had an extraordinary ability to visualize, and his inventions were so far ahead of his time that we have still not caught up. Even a mere glance through a fair account of Nikola Tesla Tesla inspires, causes one’s mouth to drop open and one’s one’s heart to to sink. Where could human civilization be now if  Tesla’s genius had been fairly and fully celebrated? Perhaps, more more to the point: Where couldn’t we be? It is because of Nikola Tesla’s legacy of inspiration that EagleResearch, Inc. (ER) and many other admirers pay their respects to his work by whatever means they are able. In this case, ER has compiled this list of Nikola Tesla’s patents in the hopes of helping others to learn from and take further steps with his work.

To avoid having to repeat the contact information fro document sources, the sources have been listed in the beginning of this booklet. Example: I will refer to ● "Source A", which is University Microfilms. The source source where ER obtained the document, not the

source of record. Source of record information is listed when possible and applicable. The intent is to make these references easy to get. We assume that most people can access the Inter-Library loan program through their local college, university, school or community libraries. Nikola Tesla

Locate the documents in the various libraries (usually by phone) and then give the complete information to the library closest to you, to arrange for inter-library loan. Then photocopy photocopy the parts parts of  the document that are applicable to your research and return the document.  Additions and corrections corrections to this reference are always welcome.

In some cases, (for research purposes only) we can provide copies of these documents from our files. Send an email entitled: entitled: TDTR Photocopies, [email protected] for photocopy and postage rates.

In almost every step of progress in electrical power engineering, as well as in radio, we can trace the spark of thought back to Nikola Tesla. There are few indeed who in their lifetime see realization of such a far-flung imagination. (E.F.W. Alexanderson)

Inspiration—that is what he gave to other inventors whose endeavors his life spanned, and that is what his work continues to give to technical specialists in these times. On the occasion of Tesla’s seventy-fifth birthday (1931), his contemporaries wrote that his lectures where then both as imaginative and inspirational to productive development as when they were first published forty years before that: In reading of Tesla’s Tesla’s work one is constantly struck by his many suggestions which have anticipated later developments in the radio art. (Louis Cohen) There are three aspects of Tesla’s Tesla’s work which particularly deserve our admiration: The importance of the achievements in themselves, as  judged by their practical bearing; the logical clearness and purity of thought, with which the arguments are pursued and new results obtained; the vision and the inspiration, I should almost say the courage, of seeing remote things far ahead and so opening up new avenues to mankind. (I. C. M. Brentano) Today, we yet find that the writings of Tesla retain their undiminished power of inspirational endeavor to the reader. Tesla was indeed out of his time, and this biography represents a distinct achievement in overcoming unusual investigative obstacles to bring his remarkable story to life.

...”Not to stagger on being shown through the laboratory of Nikola Tesla” McGovern would later recall, “requires the possession of an uncommonly sturdy mind... “Fancy yourself seated in a large, well-lighted rom, with mountains of curious-looking machinery on all sides. A tall, thin young man walks walks up to you, and by merely snapping his fingers creates instantaneously a ball of leaping red flame, and holds it calmly in his hands. As you gaze you are surprised to see it does not burn his fingers. He lets it fall upon is clothing, on his hair, into your lap, and, finally, puts the ball of flame into a wooden box. You are amazed to to see that nowhere does the flame leave the slightest trace, and you rub your eyes to make sure you are not asleep.” If McGovern was baffled by Tesla’s Tesla’s fireball, he was at least not alone. None of his contemporaries could explain how Tesla produced this oftrepeated effect, and no one can explain it today. ... from Tesla, Man Out of Time, by Margaret Margaret Cheney Cheney © 1981, Published by Prentice-Hall ISBN: 0-13-906859-7

WHO IS GEORGE WISEMAN George Wiseman is the founder and president of Eagle-Research, a non-profit organization that develops and distributes energy-saving solutions. He is multi-talented and multi-degreed, but singular in his mission: to promote self-sufficiency at the individual level by discovering and sharing the best, all-around, practical solutions. George attributes his self-reliance, resourcefulness and commitment to our natural environment, to his rural roots. “Dad didn’t believe in having any equipment on the place (hobby farms in Montana, Oregon, Alaska and finally a ranch in British Columbia) that we couldn’t fix ourselves. We had running water if we ran and got it. And electricity was something that that came in batteries”. His farmgrown, western cowboy philosophy combine well with his inventor persona to create a world-class visionary. He takes the hand-up rather rather than the hand-out approach to everything. Since 1984, George has been making his living as an inventor and author. author. His fuel-savers have gained him a worldwide following of satisfied consumers who eagerly pursue his work for new offerings. George continues to impress his customers, peers and competition with practical innovations that c an be successfully home-built. home-built. His latest product, the ERxxxx WaterTorch, WaterTorch, is making great waves in dozens of industries around the globe. As much as anything, it’s his commitment to patentfree technology development that has earned George Wiseman a champion reputation. reputation. Openly sharing research findings benefits everyone by constantly elevating the standards of viable energy solutions. George’s work has been featured on radio and in newspapers around North America and at many ‘alternative’ energy gatherings including the International Tesla Tesla Society Symposiums and Exotic Research Conferences. He lives with his bride, Tenaj, Tenaj, and their brood of cats, in a lush valley of the Rocky Mountains.

CASTLE PROJECT Eagle-Research (George Wiseman) in cooperation with Being Unlimited (Tenaj DaCosta Wiseman) are in the initial stages of creating their ultimate dream. They envision a world-renowned educational energy centre designed to find, develop and harness the unique genius inside each of us. The centre will be open to all sorts of creative-thinkers in their respective fields: inventors; writers; healing arts practitioners; feng shui specialists; architects; illustrators; horticulturalists; fitness experts… www.eagle-research.com

Individuals wishing to participate in the project may access the required reading list, that will be updated from time-to-time, on the Eagle-Research website: (www.eagle-research.com) Comments and/or contributions are invited from anyone who is committed to cultivating dream seeds. Nay-sayers are better not to waste their time. Negative input will be wholeheartedly disregarded.
