According to Legend, Nicola Tesla descended on ordinary cars, chucked the engine away, replaced them with electric motors, and then ran them wirelessly.

Asked where the power was coming from, he replied crypically: “From the Air!”
.
.
His technique was lost until recently. We have people running around marketing this “FUELLESS GENERATOR.” They sell it here and there, then run off.
.
.
As near as I could tell, the main components seem to be a DC Motor, a Battery, an Alternator, and a AC Dynamo.
.
.
The DC Motor run by the Battery powers the AC Dynamo and the Alternator at the same time.
.
.
The Alternator charges the Battery, and the Battery runs the DC Motor, which runs the AC Dynamo and the Alternator.
.
.
Anyone who knows anything about Electricity should know that this is the biggest joke in Physics! There is NO WAY this could POSSIBLY work! The system is losing energy from Resistance, Eddy Currents, Friction, and the AC Load. Eventually, the Battery will run down, because you cannot possibly charge it as fast as you deplete it!
.
.
However, that is EXACTLY what some gang of louts has been pulling off in Lagos for years and years now. If it didn’t work, we’d know about it.
.
.
The only single complaint in the forum marketing this tech is that they paid money, but didn’t get the plans disk they paid for. No one has complained that it does not work as advertized.
.
.
Whereas I have a theory as to how this would work- the last piece of puzzle was someone who reported using it on his electric wheelchair- it will take me a while to assemble these components for financial reasons. But perhaps you have them to hand already?
.
.
The secret appears to lie in using a pulley to increase the velocity ratio of the Alternator Drive and in using Electricity instead of Mechanical Energy to drive the DC Motor.
.
.
There might need to be some circuitry (Rectifier Bridge) to catch the BACK EMF- which technique I have seen before (on paper and video- it involved messing with 1,000 Volts- my HMO doesn’t cover that, so I haven’t made it a priority!)
.
.
The power really might come from the Air.
I have heard reports that the air temperature
Drops when these “Free Energy” devices work.
.
.
The wheelchair guy said that the system burns out if you DON’t drain enough cuurent from the Dynamo.
.
.
Is there anyone with experience in trying to do this? I don’t want to hear from people who sit in their armchairs gainsaying other peoples’ experiments.
.

In the YAHOO! Group I heard of this, some idiot said we should believe his up-by-his-bootstraps Space Drive device should work, because he has 50 years aerospace engineering experience- working on stuff that had nothing to do with his design,

How Did Nicola Tesla Run Electric Cars Without Batteries?
Posted on May 30, 2013.
Tesla didn’t run or design electric cars. There’s a lot of nonsense that has arisen around his history.
He never found or developed a “free energy” device. He developed AC current, which has stood the test of the marketplace for being able to transmit it long distances. There’s no such thing as a free energy device and there never will be. It contradicts the laws of physics.

Because your “added details” contain lots of speculation but very little logic it suggests more of a rant. Ignoring the “optional details” your initial question: “How did Nicola Tesla run electric cars without batteries?” begs the question (another logical fallacy.) You are asking how without established it happened. There is no solid evidence that this story is real. If it did happen, evidence is lacking and you are asking for more speculation.
Logic suggests we start with what we know and proceed to extrapolate from there. Tesla experimented with wireless transmission of electricity in the air. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgBYQh4zC… There is some suggestion he was also interested in tapping into a natural charge that may exist in the air. http://www.technologyreview.com/view/420… Neither of these are perpetual motion machines but he is often used as a basis to claim that someone’s favorite scam is legitimate. Wireless transmission exists today in every transformer. The principle involved is induction. Other ways for wireless transmission of power include: lasers, sound and magnetic resonance.
There is no evidence to suggest he was experimenting with motors run by magnets. There is a lot of evidence to suggest such a motor will never work. http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/museum/unw… Rather it would be more reasonable to assume that he would have been interested in electricity generated outside the vehicle and transmitted to the vehicle, like a subway car only without a contact electrical connection.
Nicola Tesla didn’t fully understand what he was experimenting with so he attributed a lot of hypothetical possibilities that are rather quaint and antiquated these days. His wireless transmission of power would be what we would call resonant microwave transmissions and we do it all the time, it’s how RFID’s and toll tags work, we even have wireless charging of cell phones. Every now and then, some idiot will read Tesla’s writings and think there is something incredible to be found, well there was back during Tesla’s times and we have looked into it and developed it for modern uses in manners somewhat less sensationalistic than Tesla had imagined. That’s what happens when reality sets in.
Tesla’s free power plan was to electromagnetically induce condensation of water vapor in a very tall column of atmosphere. The descending air mass would then be able to power wind turbines. The DC motor to AC alternator is just some idiot without an engineering background trying to make something out of what little they’ve managed to read of Tesla’s work.
Condensation of atmospheric humidity is a possible energy source but it requires monolithic structures, the Prueitt tower needs to be 600 feet tall. Of course, the source of the energy is the Sun in the evaporation of water in the first place, no magic source of energy.
As to the idiot that said he has 50 year of aerospace engineering, not every job in the industry requires qualifications or even intelligence.
