A Complicated Technology
On Oct. 1, 2007, the following comment was received:
The "Four Battery Switch" is a complicated technology.
There is no evidence that Tesla ever worked on this technology. All historic records lead back to Ronald Brandt as the inventor.
Both Ronald Brandt and John Bedini have built working models of the "Four Battery Switch", so it can be done. John says it is a "total pain" to tune the circuit, and he refuses to work on it anymore. No one has built a working model in decades. It's not easy. In fact, it is extremely difficult. The probability that Dave Wenbert's group is going to build a working model of this technology is low.
Built Something Similar, not OU

I worked on something similar while at NERL, a motorized recharging system by Doug Konzen (Conehead is his nickname in the field.) With a WEEK of fussing with the system, we never demonstrated OU. I agree with John Bedini's assessment.
Answer to Skeptics
The Tesla Switch offends some of the faithful by its sheer simplicity.
But, if you read the Muller report (mueller.pdf) of Bedini's from 1984, it becomes apparent that this device has better 'test credentials' as to being independently verified as a real, genuine, working FE/OU system than most other inventions in this field.
When the common underlying dynamic [by which all such systems operate] is understood, it becomes apparent that all the competing devices offer is greater complexity, cost, and uncertainty. In practice, once the GVEP is sorted out and "tweaked" to optimize it, even this design might be streamliined, to just a single Newman module and a single integrated switching disk. Ultimately, a solid state version will probably come about, although, personally, I am skeptical that solid state components are reliable in any radiant energy application. Stan Meyer recognized it and patented an electro-mechanical pulse generator separately, along with the WFC (#4,613,779), expressly complaining in the patent Background of this problem. We've seen countless examples of how fragile Mosfets, 555 Timers, Diodes, Capacitors, etc. just "snap, crackle, and pop" when exposed to this energy. The Tesla Switch is easier to implement without these discrete components than any other FE/OU architecture.
As to its provenance, Ron Brandt, who demonstrated his own car powered by the circuit and drove Bedini around in it, himself said that he learned it from Tesla, whom he had worked for earlier in life, and made no claims to having invented it originally himself. He filed no patents, which would be curious if it was his own design, since he had it operating an electric car, and, when replicated by Bedini, it worked exactly as claimed.
Reportedly, this unit is the one that John Bedini got beaten up and threatened over, which is why he refuses to discuss the matter. The physical intimidation he suffered over it back in 1984 is why, even today, he will not release an overunity battery charger product. We hope that the GVEP will ultimately force Energenx to bite the bullet and come out with a true FE/OU system from Bedini.
The slow speed of current propagation through the the lead acid system (compared to copper wire) is what makes this a good candidate for radiant ZPE/QVE extraction. It is more resiliant in maintaining its "source dipole" than all sorts of other approaches. The liquid electrolyte (just like water in the WFC) with its relatively long "relaxation time" serves as Bearden's "Degenerate Semiconductor" in admitting free excess potential from the quantum vacuum.
Being the simplest and cheapest approach to the ZPE extration problem - and one that we have hard test data since 1984 to prove that it can be done - it makes sense to invest in the Tesla Switch before exploring all of the more complex, finicky, marginal, unreliable, proprietary, more speculative and less-well-understood alternative FE/OU architectures out there.
The Tesla Switch has fewer variables and they are easier to control, which makes for a faster pace of research overall. It is easily fabricated using common, cheap components and materials, and this is an important factor when you look at the question "okay, it works, so What happens Next?"
While I'm sure that Tom Bearden will ultimately find the $9 Million he needs for the MEG, it will/has come at enormous cost in time, effort, and lost opportunities. A couple dozen other major FE/OU machine inventions are also on the money hunt, because they require big bucks to mass produce. This doesnt. We cant afford to spend the next five years sniffing out venture capital, or chasing patents. We need to "Kick the Door Down" - and do it in the next 12 months....
