Having Tom Veils a professor from the engineering department was a wonderful & unique experience. When he first started talking he said “People think everything that everything that is being invented are new things, but here are things that show that there are already invented”, which made a lot of sense after he showed us the experiments. He showed us a sterling engine which has two cups, one hot water and the other cold water which is a substitute for steam engine, it would run if you have a differentiation. The other machine he showed us was the Mendocino Motor from California. It is a solar-powered magnetically levitated electric motor. It floats due to its magnetic repulsion (5 magnets the middle one is a magnet field). You can’t actually use it for anything, it will keep spinning until the sun is out.
Another interesting experiment of Nikola Tesla- altering current – electro-science . It wouldn’t work because of all the garbage, it would destroy anything. Tesla was an enigma. Tesla inspired a medical group that believed that these current could heal different type of problems.He showed us how it worked by using a violet ray – that has argon gas. They thought it was doing something but it didn’t actually work. The professor also tried with a stick and put directly to the source and no volts transferred to him, because as he explained, electricity goes above the stick, instead of through the stick. Coper magnetic, it takes more time to got through than next to it.
Professor Tom Veils also stated “We love energy, the easiest way to win the country is blowing up the power grid.” Which is true, not only the United States, but almost the whole world depends on energy.
