I purchased the estate of Ron Brandt, the inventor of the Tesla switch, this past summer. Items include a number of his Tesla switches, perm-mag motors, diagrams, vidoes and audio tapes of experiements and various mock ups. Wondering what I should do with these items.

Do you have his electric vehicle?


This thing has some pretty wild stories associated with it.


There is definitely interest!


Seems he couldn't take it with him, neither can you. Share.


I found it:  RhettSpencer:

Back in 1992 or 1991 Ron Brandt spent a few weeks with me and we ran his transistor switched circut using 4 batteries 6 transistors and a few other components.  we uses a signal generator to adjust the switching freq for maximum output to the load. we used 4 car headlights for the load on the switching unit and 1 on each of the baseline batteries.  we had 2 extra batteries we used as baselines.  to start off we charged all batteries using an astron 50 amp powersupply. all batteries were new.


We measured the SG of the electrolite and also the battery voltage 4 hours after charging before we began testing.  each of the baseline batteries with 1 headlight attached lasted I believe 7 hours before reaching 7 volts, our cutoff point.  the 4 batteries being switched ran for 73 hours before reaching the 7 volt mark.
We would check the frequency every hour or so longer intervals at night maybe 4 hours to keep it at maximum output to the load.  somewhere around 900 to 1100 Hz if i remember correctly.


after the first test all batteries were recharged with the power supply and we calculated the total recharge power we used to get the sg and voltage back to where we started. the 4 switching batteries required the same recharge time as the baseline batteries to reach our full charge state.


the second and 3rd test seemed to go about the same. but on the 4th test when trying to recharge the 4 switching batteries something strange happend.  the 4 switching batteries had 50 amps at 15 volts pumping into them but no bubbles, the battery temp was below room temp, and nothing was going on other than my powersupply getting a good workout.  it stayed like this for over 3 days then all at once it started to bubble and the recharge cycle began and the battery came back to life. This happened to all 4 batteries. we ran the test again pretty much same results and again the batteries would not recharge for 3 days. we stopped after this as it was taking way to long and we had lost all the net gain we had achieved in the first tests.


Ron told me that when he was running his electric car his neighbors car had a bad battery and he removed one from his electric car and gave it to them. the alternator on the neighbors car went up in smoke after an hour of driving.  it was more than likely running at full field trying to charge the battery.




We did not use a motor and i believe that is the secret to getting it to self charge. Ron told me he ran his car for months without charging the batteries.


He also told me a strange story that after running the car for a few hours when setting at a stop light the other cars around him all stopped running.  he called it some sort of energy field he thought it was creating. he also told me that his neighbor could not get out of her mobile home one day when he had the motor running and the car in idle for a few hours in is driveway, she yelled for help and when he went to help her it was like walking through air as thick as sand and it took almost all his energy to get to her.


after that he stopped the project to think about what was happening.


It will be interesting if anyone else will have the same battery non charging event happen to them.

When the estate was purchased he had developed 3 perm-mag motors all in different sizes. The last one was a working model on a bench motor weighs about 100lbs. Each perm-mag motor has a switch with it. It looked like Ron was building a 4th motor identical to the 3rd motor but much bigger. The design on the 4th was exactly the same as the 3rd motor. the 3rd motor, biggest motor mounted to a work bench was actually hooked up to 2 different banks of battery's and his switch.

He had so much paperwork and diagrams starting back to his days in Oregon it's hard to organize it all. It appears he had worked with John Bedini in the late 70's and early 80's. I can't find any collaboration with anyone with the motors and switches he developed before his death, looks like he was working alone on these.

All of his audio tapes have been snapped I  guess for security reasons. Need to take them to a professional have them  and have rewound to listen. The way his shop was configured he was a man in hidding for sure, very strange.

I joined overunity just to respond to this post --- I'm mostly involved with cold fusion/LENR -- see lenr.qumbu.com --  but I've just recently been looking into the Tesla/Brandt/Bedini switch. Google didn't give me ANY information about the Brandt/Tesla connection.

I suspect you've got something that's either a) worthless or b) invaluable !!!

I'm inclined towards the latter. For the time being, I'd say that it's very important to keep it all together (not selling it piecemeal on eBay), and to catalog it.

What state (country?) are you in? (Send me a PM or email if you prefer).

Even though it's worthless you still found it necessary to make an account to point that out. Furthermore your suggesting to not sell it EVEN THOUGH it's worthless. And finally EVEN THOUGH it's worthless you're very interested in where the location is.

If it got sold I'd rather have it bought by someone known on the forum than someone completely unknown who finds it worthless but wants to have it all.

I too just joined to respond to this post.

Mr. Smith,I`m sure I don`t have to tell you of all people how marvelous it is that a non-hermit has acquired the Brandt material

I hope you will at least consider donating one of the devices to a trusted and qualified individual or group to properly reverse engineer .Might I suggest either the admin. of the site (Steffan) if he is willing.Or Panacea-BOCAF?Truly wondrous news!!!Any chance of some pics of the devices?

machine drawings updated to autocad and stp and controller schematics updated to gerber files with today's parts have been open sourced along with photos and videos of Ron Brandt showing his first generation controller during a 1995 conference.
