Since I run off of inspiration, I haven't had much to say concerning Tesla's Pierce-Arrow. But I've been busy writing a book on a motorized transformer - as well as translating it into Spanish to help with my grammar - which led to this present insight: that Tesla's Special Generator is the solid-state version of Tesla's Pierce-Arrow demonstration of 1931.

Byron Brubaker is a cool guy. Trained as an electrical engineer, confidant to Joseph Newman, who goes by the moniker of MX6Maximus on YouTube and Facebook, has given me a few gems of electrical wisdom during our conversations. One is a variation of the Tesla Pierce-Arrow story which I've never heard before...

The reason why Peter Savo was asked to accompany Tesla to Buffalo, New York, was - not to serve as a witness, but - to keep an eye on the pressure gauge on the dashboard and notify Tesla the moment it rose beyond a certain safe limit. Byron claims he was pressurizing a condenser (called, capacitors nowadays) utilizing this patent, called: "Nikola Tesla U.S. Patent 577,671 - Manufacture of Electrical Condensers, Coils and Similar Devices".

I didn't have the opportunity to use this concept in any of my simulations until now.

By assuming that pressurization of the dielectric material of a capacitor equates to its increase of equivalent series resistance, raising a capacitor's series resistance in Micro-Cap led to a greater stability of the circuit I was working on, yesterday, intended for my latest book linked to, above.

The problem I was having was that the circuit, in the course of adding more components to its simulation to enable successful rotation of a motor shaft, was exploding to infinite gain as a runaway surge condition. That was merely one type of error the simulator gave me, calling it: "Matrix is singular". {I've had to learn by trial and error what Micro-Cap's cryptic messages mean to me instead of whatever its software designers intended them to mean!} The only way to prevent this error from occurring was to make a capacitor into a generator to serve as a voltage regulator. {The removal of this capacitor was the easy way to solve this problem. Yet, its inclusion ironed out the spiky gaps in the D/C output at the motor (load) coil and was the whole point to its necessity.} Since adding equivalent series resistance to a capacitor is the same as converting the capacitor into a current source (by way of it becoming a negative resistor), this led to the suppression of any new surge in this isolated section of the overall circuit. And since the circuit was already inspiring the creation of a surging condition elsewhere and under stable management, I didn't need any new instigation to destabilize an otherwise stable condition. Hence, the need for increasing the resistive presence of this peculiar variation of a capacitor. HINT.....I had to raise what would normally be my default series resistance for ceramic capacitors of 10 milli-Ohms to an unthinkable Mega-Ohm if it weren't for Byron's discussion to me several weeks ago.

This did the job. I simulated a ten second duration taking hours of computer time and consuming 4 Giga-bytes on my harddrive to store the simulator's data file for tracing the circuit's oscilloscope output.

At one kilo-Ohm of ESR, the simulator succeeded at calculating a 300 milli-second duration. But when raised to ten seconds, it bombed out with its standard error message indicating to me that I had to raise the ESR yet again by an arbitrary factor of one thousand (for convenience's sake).

So, I don't know if 1 Meg-Ohm is necessary or I might get away with something smaller, such as: 100 kilo-Ohms or 10 kilo-Ohms? I really don't care at this point.... The fact is, I succeeded with my quest to make my design for an overunity circuit capable of turning a motor shaft.
