Burn baby burn.
You can build one and find out for yourself.
Nikola Tesla has not been granted his proper place in history. In the Smithsonian Institution, for example, Mr. Edison's inventions are justifiably well represented. However, although the museum has included Mr. Tesla's alternating current generators in their exhibit, no mention is made of Mr. Tesla. In fact the generator is included as part of the Edison exhibit (The Congressional Record, 1990)
Mr. Wagner notes that Edison's bust is not only situated near Tesla's first AC motor/generator, but also "Tesla's U.S. patent number appeared on the motor/generator, [and] ... the display was arranged in such a way as to give credit to Edison" (Wagner, 2002). He writes that the Tesla exhibit, a small glass show-case containing some of his personal artifacts in a darkened hallway near the men's room, was only created due to recent congressional pressure. According to Mr. Wagner, Nikola Tesla has also been omitted from the Smithsonian museum’s educational texts, despite his numerous contributions to modern electrical technology. The Smithsonian Book of Invention describes innovators such as Charles Goodyear and Thomas Edison in addition to popular culture figures such as Archie Bunker and Colonel Sanders, but fails to even mention Nikola Tesla. Smithsonian’s Visual Timeline of Inventions is not significantly better, detailing inventions such as the Rubik's cube, the electric toothbrush, and the pop-up toaster, but fails to list the AC motor. Further, this book credits the invention of radio to Guglielmo Marconi, despite the Supreme Court ruling in favor of Tesla’s patents. In his writings, Wagner accuses the Smithsonian of presenting "distorted history" suggesting that the electrical innovations of Edison are held above those of Tesla due to contributions from the Edison foundation to the Smithsonian (Wagner, 1996; 2002).

The Free Battery Charger is a modified inverter circuit. You can get the component values from Ton van Roon's site
