Muzika Teslinog kalema

Doktor Petar Teren je studirao medicinu u raznim oblastima – kardiologija, neurologija, hematologija, gerijatrija. Pored toga studirao je i fiziku. Preko dana leči pacijente, a kad sunce zađe i tokom vikenda uživa u svom hobiju, inspirisanom – Nikolom Teslom.

Električna moć iz Teslinog kalema

Dok mnogi provode vikend sa porodicom, Petar Teren uživa eksperimentišući sa poznatim Teslim kalemom, koji proizvodi visoku voltažu.

“Oko Sauronovo”

Kada smo dr Terena upitali koji mu je najdraži ekperiment odgovorio je: “Oko Sauronovo”. Fasciniran je bio zlobnim čarobnjakom, koji se pojavljuje u trilogiji “Gospodari prstenova”. Došao je na ideju da pored velike snage Teslinog kalema još snage doda kružnoj moći prstena. Kaže da ovakav izum može pomoći u sprečavanju krađe automobila.
Prošle godine je kreirao i “Modernog Mislioca”, gde oko 200,000 volti električne energije prolazilo kroz njegovo telo.

Njegovo prvo interesovanje za kalemom počelo je još u srednjoj školi. Tada je radeći na projektu napravio svoj radio. Sebe naziva “Doktor Elektrik”, a poznat je i kao “Doktor Šok”.

Sajt dr Terena – tesladonjnunder.com – zainteresovao je internacionalne medije i on se pojavio u televizijskim emisijama širom sveta. Učestvovao je i na takmičenju “Australija ima talent”, ali nije ušao u finale. Mnogi smatraju njegov hobi opasnim, bučnim i zastrašujućim. U toku programa član žirija Dani Minog je čak i izašla iz sale jer je Terenov eksperiment “uplašio”!

Nedavno, pozvao je prijatelje i rodbinu u goste, na imanje u Banberiju, gradiću udaljenom oko 180 kilometara od Perta. Želio je da pokaže svoje izume i da ih uveri da nije isto iskustvo gledati sve preko ekrana odnosno na licu mesta.

Događaju su prisustvovala i deca koja su sa sobom odnela veoma lepo iskustvo. Pozvani su i članovi Tesla Foruma iz Perta, ali nažalost nije bilo interesovanja.

Terenova laboratorija je njegovo dvorište. Prvi eksperiment je izveden u dvorištu ispred kuće i mnoge je ostavio bez daha. Električna snaga Teslinog kalema je izazvala snažnu ekploziju i prasak, a lubenica je odletela u vazduh. Kapacitet električne energije je bio 9.000 volti sa oko 10,000 xula u sekundi.

Potom, dok se Teren pripremao za sledeću tačku “programa”, njegova supruga Džejn Teren je ponudila gostima posluženje. Domaćin je zatim na televizijskom ekranu prikazao svoje radove i izume.

Inspiracija za doktora Petra Terena: Nikola Tesla

Nakon uvoda njegov sin Majkl, student muzike, predstavio je eksperiment u kojem muzika izaziva iskre, munje i sevanje između dva kalema i pruža izvanredan vizualni efekat.

Eksperiment sa električnom snagom u bazenu izazvao je brigu i uzbuđenje prisutnih. Poznato je da je voda i struja opasna kombinacija. U pripremi je Terenu pomagala supruga, koja na početku njegovog interesovanja za ovako nešto nije bila previše oduševljena. Uvek je plašila kada bi čula neku buku. Nervirala je smetnja sa televizijskim prijemom u toku eksperimentisanja. Ali nakon mnogo godina shvatila je da njen suprug zna šta radi i da to nije toliko opasno za njega.

Njena uloga je sada da pritisne prekidač i da povećava voltažu.
Posetioci su ovaj eksperiment sa strahom gledali kroz ogradu. Tu je bio i njihov sin da osigura da se niko ne povredi.

Dr Teren nam je naglasio da ovakve eksperimente ne preporučuje običnom svetu, jer nepažnja može da ozbiljne povrede i smrt.

Najjače osvetljenje na svetu

Dr Petar Teren deli mišljenje Nikole Tesle kada je zamišljao da osvetli čitavu zemlju, samo što za sada, želi da nastavi sa eksperimentima i osvetli samo Zapadnu Australiju.
Izumeo je bicikl sa najjačim osvetljenjem na svetu i nada se da će ući u Ginisovu knjigu rekorda. Dok se drugi muče da za Božić okite kuće i jelke, Teren tvrdi da je njegovo osvetljenje toliko snažno da se može videti iz – vasione.

Music Tesla coil
Doctor Peter terrain is studied medicine in various fields – cardiology, neurology, hematology, geriatrics. In addition, he studied physics. During the day treating patients, and when the sun sets over the weekend enjoying his hobby, inspired – Nikola Tesla.
While many spend the weekend with his family, Peter Terrain enjoys experimenting with the famous Tesla coil, which produces a high voltage.
His first interest in the coil began in high school. He then working on a project made its radio. He calls himself “Doctor Elektrik”, and is also known as “Doctor Shock”
Website Dr. Terena – tesladonjnunder.com – intrigued the international media and he has appeared in television shows around the world. He also participated in the competition “Australia’s Got Talent,” but did not enter the finals. Many consider his hobby dangerous, noisy and frightening. During the program juror Dani Minogue’s even got out of the sale because the terrain experiment “scared”!

Recently, he invited friends and relatives to guests at the property in Banbury, a small town about 180 kilometers from Perth. He wanted to show off their inventions and to convince them that it is not the same experience to watch all over the screen or on the spot.

The event was also attended by the children who were with him took a very nice experience. Invited are members of Tesla Forum from Perth, but unfortunately there was no interest.

Courts laboratories his yard. The first experiment was carried out in the front yard and many left breathless. Electrical power Tesla coil caused a strong explosion and burst, a watermelon is blown. Electrical power capacity was 9,000 volts with about 10,000 xula in seconds.

Then, while preparing the terrain for the next point “program” his wife Jane terrain is offered guests refreshments. The host is then on the television screen display their works and inventions.
After an introduction by his son Michael, a music student, presented an experiment in which music causes sparks, lightning and radiation between two spools and provides outstanding visual effect.

Experiment with electric power in the pool has caused concern and excitement present. It is known that water and electricity dangerous combination. In preparing the ground aids wife, who at the beginning of his interest in this sort of thing was not too thrilled. He was always afraid when they heard a noise. The annoyance annoyed with television reception during experimentation. But after many years, she realized that her husband knew what he was doing and that it is not so dangerous for him.
Its role is to press the switch and to increase the voltage.
Visitors to the experiment with the fear of looking through the fence. And then there was their son to ensure that no one gets hurt.

Dr terrain we emphasized that such experiments are not recommended for common people, because of inattention can be a serious injury and death.
