I would like to know what is in the tesla watch that is supposed to change the electromagnectic field around it and how that object is made. Is it a copper coil with magnectic tape wrapped arount it? | ||

It is just another way to separate the less educated from their money. If Nicola Tesla were alive today, he would be taking these people to court for abusing his good name. | ||

why not buy it and see if you feel any difference while wearing it. not too long ago electricity was a mistry. if it dosn't feel right,return it. | ||

I bought one twenty years ago and the first battery lasted 15 yrs. While it's claims can't be verified with today's tools, I do feel a difference when I wear it and when I don't I just don't feel as "up". If you want to call this a placebo effect, then that's OK. I would prefer to know that my own body can produce the same results with a little encouragement. However, my dowser friends can "measure" the difference between them by dowsing in a double blind test. | ||

If your dowsing claim is correct I suggest you contact the James Randi Educational Foundation (www.randi.org), since if your friends really can "measure" the difference in a double blind test they can win a million dollars. | ||

do you know that village where Tesla was born still do not have electricity Tesla house  | ||

The original "Teslar" watch was invented by the odd Russian physicist Andrija Puharich. Search on "Puharich" to find some info. If I recall, the idea was simple: humans are sensitive to environmental electrical effects, and the Earth has a strong 7.8Hz AC electrostatic field because of worldwide lightning. All organisms on Earth have been exposed to that signal throughout their evolution. But modern life has filled the air with "loud" RF and 60Hz noise, and supposedly this induces a stress response (supposedly this stress response is much less if you vacation far out in the country with no electric power.) So, what if we wear a local ELF transmitter on our wrists? Will it improve health by overriding the modern "noise" with an artifically-produced "natural" signal? Even more important, how could we ever hope to separate the Placebo effect from any real benefit? (And it certainly doesn't help things that the medical community has for decades been extremely hostile to any suggestion that mammal tissue can respond to low-freq magnetic or electrostatic fields. This was their overreaction to quack electrical cures that happened back in the 1930s and earlier.) | ||

I think it is proper for medical practitioners to be doubtful of anything that can't be separated from the placebo effect. Of all the sources of stress in modern society, a few microwatts of radio noise is probably one of the least troubling. We also evolved in a much quieter environment as far as sound is concerned, and the idea of walking around with earmuffs on would make much more sense than a wristband that emits pink radio noise in the single digit hertz range. Energy is a function of frequency, and it seems very unlikely that a human can detect low power signals in that frequency range. But clearly we are very good at detecting low power audio noise. But why bother with an expensive watch when a tinfoil hat is so much cheaper? And much more likely to be effective, and perhaps even measurably so when using a cell phone. | ||

I am a Certified Master Watchmaker, with a curiosity about how things work, and a tested IQ of 150 (as if anyone cares). I replace the batteries in these watches (Philip Stein Teslar) on a regular basis. Here are the facts of the construction of these watches; 1) They usually have a stainless steel case which appears to be well made and water resistant 2) The case-back is made with two small glass windows. 3) The timekeeping mechanisms, or movements, are usually made by the Miyota division of the Citizen Watch Company, and have been used by Citizen in their very small ladies watches for sometime (the same unchanged movement). 4) There are two separate movements in each watch, hence the two setting crowns. 5) Inside the case-back, there are two rectangular strips of copper foil which have each been folded in half to form a square, and the ends held together with double-stick tape. Each stuck together square of foil is then placed over the inside of one small window, and secured with another piece of double-stick tape. 6) There is no 'Tesla coil' other than that utilized by each watch movement to drive the watch (the same as every other quartz watch from $3 to #$30,000). 7) There are no wires or circuitry which connect the copper foil squares to each other or the watch movements. 8) There is not an ELF generator nor any other 'patented' circuitry in the watch (other than that utilized in the regular operation of the quartz movements and licensed to Citizen). Being familiar with Nicola Tesla's work, I would agree with the sentiments expressed earlier by Sfield in 2004. For any other questions regarding my experience with this watch (Philip Stein Teslar) or any other type of watches, please feel free to email 'georockman@excite.com geo |
