Sorry to bring back a dead post, but I too am looking for information on valvular conduits. I found the patent here:
http://www.google.com/patents?hl=en&lr=&vid=USPAT1329559&id=Lt1PAAAAEBAJ&oi=fnd&dq=tesla+patent&printsec=abstract#v=onepage&q=tesla%20patent&f=true"

I'm struggling to visualize this device as it is depicted in the patent. I've seen the water or air turbine using circular disks of a similar sort.

Can anyone please describe how this device works? I understand how the linear conduit restricts flow in one direction, but I do not see the correlation to the mechanical oscillator described in the patent.

Regards,

As far as I know, it is a term used in the Star Trek series.

Well I suppose that's a good thing seeing how there are several technologies that have emerged seemingly from the Star Trek series today...

I'm not certain, but I think you must be 18 or older before you can view such material.

I don't understand. We're talking about a patent by Nikola Tesla. I don't know what you're thinking about...
