About the flying machine in the so-called "Unknown manuscript of Nikola Tesla"

"While working with my generator, I noticed one strange phenomenon. When it was turned on, you could clearly feel the breeze blowing towards the generator. At first, I thought it had something to do with electrostatics. Then I decided to check this out. After I rolled together a few newspapers, I lit them up and immediately put them out. Thick smoke came from newspapers. I went around the generator with these smoking newspapers. From any point of the laboratory, the smoke came to the generator and, as it rose above it, went up like an exhaust pipe. When the generator was turned off, this phenomenon was not observed.
Having considered this phenomenon, I came to the conclusion that my generator, affecting the air, reduces the force of gravity!
I built big scales to ensure this. One side of the scales was placed above the generator. To exclude the electromagnetic effect of the generator, scales were made of well-dried wood. After carefully balancing the scales, I, with great excitement, turned on the generator. The side of the scales over the generator went up quickly. I machine turned off the generator The scales went down and oscillated until it became balanced.
It felt like a trick. I loaded the scales with ballast, and by changing the power and mode of the generator, I managed to balance them. After these experiences, I decided to build a flying car that could fly not only in the air, but also in space.
The working principle of this machine is as follows: A generator installed on a flying machine is removed in the direction of its flight. Since, from all sides, the air continues to press with the same force, the flying machine will begin to move. When you are in such a car, you will not feel the acceleration, as the air will not hinder your movement.
Unfortunately, I had to give up the flying car. This happened for two reasons: First, I do not have money to do these works secretly. But most importantly, a great war has begun in Europe, and I do not want my inventions to be killed! When will these lunatics stop? "
In The New York Herald in 1911. Tesla spoke about his work on the "antigravity flying device":
"My aircraft will be without wings, without propeller. After noticing it on the surface of the earth, no one will understand that this device can fly. But he can fly perfectly safely in any direction.
Its speed will exceed the speed of any other aircraft, regardless of "holes in the air" and regardless of weather conditions. He will have the ability to remain completely still in the air for a long time, even in the event of strong winds." https://t.me/wind_history/17422
