Tesla Technology for the 21st Century

Nikola Tesla: 1856 – 1943

Ask any school kid: “who invented radio”? If you get an answer at all it will doubtless be Marconi - an answer with which all the encyclopedias and textbooks agree. Or ask most anyone: “who invented the stuff that makes your toaster, your stereo, the street lights, the factories and offices work?” Without hesitation, Thomas Edison, right? Wrong both times. The correct answer is Nikola Tesla, a person you have probably never heard of. There's more. He  discovered x-rays a year before W. K. Roentgen did in Germany, he built a vacuum tube amplifier several years before Lee de Forest did, he was using fluorescent lights in his laboratory 40 years before the industry “invented” them, and he demonstrated the principles used in microwave ovens and radar decades before they became an integral part of our society. Yet we associate his name with none of them. [1]  (Excerpted from “Power and Resonance”)

Nikola Tesla was a unique genius.  He had the ability to completely visualize a working model of a new invention in his mind.  He would then test, hypothesize, and rebuild the design all in his mind (similar to photographic memory, but more active).  Only when the design was complete and working did he build a physical model of it. Tesla’s rotating magnetic field A.C. electric power generator was built in this fashion and forever changed our world.  What most people don’t know is that by the time of his death he held over 290 U.S. patents forming the cornerstone to most 20th and 21st century technology, Why is it that Tesla is rarely given the credit and respect he deserves?  This is a great injustice to our countries history. Please read about John Wagner's struggle to get U.S. educational institutions to re-recognize the greatness of this man.  Some of Tesla’s designs were so good, that they have not been improved upon in 100 years!  What is even more startling is the technology that Tesla invented that is still not used even today.  This proves how far ahead his thinking really was.

Tesla’s Life Work:  Wireless Transmission of Electrical Power

"As soon as completed, it will be possible for a business man in New York to dictate instructions, and have them instantly appear in type at his office in London or elsewhere. He will be able to call up, from his desk, and talk to any telephone subscriber on the globe, without any change whatever in the existing equipment. An inexpensive instrument, not bigger than a watch, will enable its bearer to hear anywhere, on sea or land, music or song, the speech of a political leader, the address of an eminent man of science, or the sermon of an eloquent clergyman, delivered in some other place, however distant. In the same manner any picture, character, drawing, or print can be transferred from one to another place. Millions of such instruments can be operated from but one plant of this kind. More important than this, however, will be the transmission of power, without wires, which will be shown on a scale large enough to carry conviction."  [2]    -   Nikola Tesla  1908

 Everything described above was to be transmitted to the whole world from one tower in Wardenclyffe, New York.  What he is describing is basically radio, television, a wireless form of the internet, and transmission of electricity without wires, all wrapped up into one system:  The World Wireless System.  The drawing to the left is a rendition of the tower in Wardenclyffe, NY.  The lines coming off the top represent High Voltage electricity that transmit electricity and highly diverse forms of communication to antennas around the world.  The average sized door and window are included to show scale of the tower.  For a more complete discussion of how the tower works go here.  He had the tower built and ready to operate to demo this system, but at the last second J.P. Morgan, who was funding the project, stopped giving money to Tesla.  The tower sat unfinished for a couple years and no one ever refunded the project.  Eventually, Tesla had to sell the land to pay debts and the tower was demolished, but the building is still standing and there are plans to make a museum out of it.  What a different world we would be living in now if that tower were completed in 1908!  Sadly, the powerful people of the world felt that if the World Wireless System was put into operation then they would be only in the business of selling antennas and the world could take as much energy as needed without any way to meter it and charge for it. But what really upset them was Tesla’s discovery of a source of energy that is truly unlimited, cheap to produce, and has no detrimental environmental effects (See next heading below).  This would mean that every country has equal access to as much electricity as industry requires and thus the powerful people of the world, who have their grips on the world’s energy resources, would become a lot less powerful.  Because of these things, they decided to drop all funding to Tesla’s scientific advancements and research, despite the fact that all his theories were experimentally proven in Colorado Springs.  At the same time Einstein had just split the atom, which meant a whole new controllable source of energy.  Tesla warned against nuclear energy saying it is “a serious crime against nature, and one day we will have to pay the consequences” and history has proved him right (e.g. Hiroshima, Nagasaki, The Cold War, Three Mile Island meltdown, Chernobyl fallout).  Tesla had envisioned a peaceful world where electricity was created from an endless, cheap, clean source and beamed directly to electric cars, planes, trains, and industry without high-tension power lines (which invariably create energy loss and Electro-Magnetic pollution).  Yet here we are, almost in 2002, and we still haven’t utilized this incredible idea.

Tesla’s Greatest Discovery:  A New Source of Clean, Unlimited, Cheap Energy

"We are whirling through endless space with an inconceivable speed, all around us everything is spinning, everything is moving, everywhere is energy. There must be some way of availing ourselves of this energy more directly."  [3]  Nikola Tesla – 1891

Inventor announces discovery to displace fuel in driving machinery. Calls Sun main source. A principle by which power for driving machinery of the world may be developed from the cosmic energy which operates the universe, has been discovered by Nikola Tesla, noted physicist and inventor of scientific devices, he announced today. This principle, which taps a source of power described as "everywhere present in unlimited quantities" and which may be transmitted by wire or wireless from central plants to any part of the globe, will eliminate the need of coal, oil, gas or any other of the common fuels, he said. Dr. Tesla in a statement today at his hotel indicated the time was not far distant when the principle would be ready for practical commercial development. Asked whether the sudden introduction of his principle would upset the present economic system, Dr. Tesla replied, "It is badly upset already." He added that now as never before was the time ripe for the development of new resources. While in its present form, the theory calls for the development of energy in central plants requiring vast machinery. Dr. Tesla said he might be able to work out a plan for its use by individuals. The central source of cosmic energy for the earth is the Sun, Dr. Tesla said, but “night will not interrupt the flow of new power supply”.  [4]

    “The attractive features of the Cosmic Rays is their constancy. They shower down on us throughout the whole 24 hours, and if a plant is developed to use their power it will not require devices for storing energy as would be necessary with devices using wind, tide, or sunlight.  All of my investigations seem to point to the conclusion that they are small particles, each carrying so small a charge that we are justified in calling them neutrons.  They move with great velocity, exceeding that of light.  More than 25 years ago I began my efforts to harness the cosmic rays and I can now state that I have succeeded in operating a motive device by means of them.  I will tell you in a general way, the cosmic ray ionizes the air, setting free many charges – ions and electrons.  These charges are captured in a condenser which is made to discharge through the circuit of the motor.”  [5] - Nikola Tesla  1932

    By 1932, Tesla had many patents and much of his technology was in widespread use.  He made this public statement above, "I have succeeded in operating a motive device by means of them [cosmic rays]".  This means that the energy is strong enough to power a motor, and start a new industrial revolution with a whole new source of power.  Tesla was a great experimental physicist and the motor he built proves the strength of this energy, but its source is lesser known. Tesla theorized about cosmic rays, but other researchers into his work have said that its source was the aether or gravity stressing energy or Radiant Energy.  Truthfully, no one has exactly defined the source yet and even Dr. Tesla stated that although "he did not know where it came from, mankind should be very grateful for its presence". Tesla spoke very glowingly of this opportunity, saying of the energy itself that "it is available in limitless quantities".  Recently there has been much effort by independent sources to re-create a way to tap this energy with some success.

    This new source of energy was and still is a serious threat to the Energy Industry.  Even though the unit of Magnetic Flux Density was named a 'Tesla' and he joined the ranks of Volta and Ampere, the public has strangely been kept in the dark about this great inventor of our time.  Today, despite all his achievements, you would be hard-pressed to find his name among basic science textbooks and sadly most teachers have never even heard of him!  For a more complete discussion of this topic, go visit John Wagner’s web page. We are now in the 3rd Millennium.  Now is the time to leave bad old habits in the past and enter into humankind’s bright new future.    If we truly wish to conserve Earth’s resources, then lets use the energy that is "everywhere present in unlimited quantities".  Tesla was one of the first people to discover and work on a source of energy that is cheap, sustainable, and unlimited.  Since his time there has been MUCH research by independent scientists and inventors on this subject of 'free energy', and much has been discovered.  Dr. Peter Lindemann says that actually these machines do not create something from nothing, but rather they use a small type of one energy to release a large amount of a different kind of energy. Please read this article by Dr. Peter A. Lindemann titled "The World of Free Energy", I think it is the best description of the technology that's out there and why it hasn't been considered by mainstream science yet.  Also here is a very complete article about the Vested Interest Suppression.
