Exhibit 03 · Valvular Conduit · Patented Feb. 3, 1920
One direction passes.
The other fights itself.
Tesla’s conduit uses no moving valve member. Fig. 1 shows a rigid casing 1 with repeated projections ending in buckets 2, directing partitions 3, connection nipples 4 and 5, and a fitting top plate 6. In the preferred direction, the approximate path 7 remains comparatively straight. Driven the opposite way, fluid is repeatedly diverted, reversed, accelerated, slowed, and collided.
Accuracy rule: we show Tesla’s actual bucket/partition geometry and his stated flow mechanism. The patent’s “200 or more” figure is presented only as Tesla’s theoretical resistance-ratio discussion, not as a guaranteed modern measured value.
Start with Fig. 1. The conduit is a rigid passage with repeated internal elements—no hinged flap, poppet, reed, or other moving valve component.
