    Presentation - The Switch

    The document describes the circuitry of Tesla's switch, which uses 4 batteries that can be configured in either series or parallel to change the direction of current flow through a motor. It does this through a mechanical switch consisting of 3 rotors that selectively activate or deactivate switches S1 and S3 to switch between two states where batteries 1&2 and 3&4 are arranged differently, reversing the direction of current and rotation of the motor.
