On his 158th birthday, Tesla’s idea of transmitting wireless energy is still going strong

On July 10 of this year, famed inventor Nikola Tesla would have been 158 years-old and while he’s been gone for some time now, his technology still lives on. Before coming to America, Tesla attended school in Karlovac (Croatia) where he was able to perform integral calculus in his head and - graduated a 4-year term in only three years. It was during this time that his father started impressing upon him that he should become a Serbian Orthodox priest and follow in his footsteps.


Tesla on the other hand wanted to become an electrical engineer, which was against his father’s wishes. It was thanks to a bout of cholera that Tesla’s father changed his mind and would send him to the school of his choice if he got better. A short time later, he would enroll at Austrian Polytechnic through a scholarship and during his second year, he argued with one of his professors claiming that the Gramme dynamo, suggesting that commutators were not necessary for the function of the DC electrical generator.


Things soon after went downhill fast for the young inventor during that second year where he lost his scholarship and became - addicted to gambling. In fact, during his third year, he gambled away both his allowance and tuition sent by his parents and actually dropped out of school all together! Soon after he moved to Budapest, went to work at the Budapest Telephone Exchange (BTE), and quickly rose to the position of Chief Electrician, where - he was claimed to have perfected the telephone repeater (no patents exist or were filed).


Shortly after working for the BTE, he moved to France and went to work for the Continental Edison Company where he designed electrical equipment for two years and immigrated to New York City to work directly with Edison himself. The AC/DC ‘war’ between the two began almost immediately over a misunderstanding of funds to redesign Edison’s motors and generators. Edison told Tesla that if he could improve both them and make them more efficient, he would give him $50,000 and later reneged on the offer claiming it was a joke.

 

Suffice it to say, he resigned and went on to do bigger and better things, literally. Sure, he designed the AC electric generator, radio, which still hasn’t changed much over the years, but he had a loftier goal in mind, one that could bring free power to the world and destroy invading armies at the same time!


In 1901, Tesla began construction of the massive - Wardenclyffe Tower for transmitting wireless energy and radio signals over long ranges. It was reported that it could also be used to power sea-fairing and crazy airborne ships as well as for destroying armies on both land and sea. The tower itself was only partially completed and would have used the earth as a capacitor of sorts, with the ground forming one plate and the ionosphere forming the other in order to transmit electrical energy.

 

Due to lack of funding, the tower was never completed and it was torn down in 1917 by the U.S. government on fears - German spies were harnessing it somehow or using it as a navigational landmark. The tower may be gone but the idea of transmitting wireless energy lives on with scientists looking to recreate their own Tesla Tower using Tesla’s blueprints and technical notes.

 

Leonid and Sergey Plekhanov are looking to crowd-fund their ‘Planetary Energy Transmitter’ using Indigogo to reconstruct the Wardenclyffe Tower to transmit electrical power generated by a massive 196-mile square solar panel array located in a desert somewhere near the equator. The pair have reportedly used ANSYS HFSS numerical software to model Tesla’s transmission attempt and found it to be theoretically sound.


 

It’s unknown how the panels and tower will tie together and their target goal of $800,000 seems a little light for the solar panel array but if it works, it could mean - free energy for everyone on the planet. As it stands right now, they’ve only reached about 4% of the funding they need so chances are we will still be paying for the electricity we use.

    Michael,

     

    Sure, I believe Tesla made something. He did routinely produce ball lightening, or so he said. Perhaps that is something similar.

     

    At the receiving end of the power, I wonder what he did...

    Hi Mark, Linus,

     

    When I was doing research for my book, I took a new look at physics in general and what is really possible under a reset without Quantum Mechanics.

    After resolving force issues and establishing full mass and energy conservation, I took a new look at the fusion process.  What I discovered was that the experiments from 1970 on have provided the correct answer from the start.  The stellar fusion process combines similar sized masses into a single mass.  The process changes kinetic energy into potential energy.

     

    In short, everything you have been taught about how a star works is wrong!

     

    What most people have forgotten is that the stars gravity is doing all of the work.  You just cannot get more energy out than you put into the system.  What we perceive as surplus energy emanating from the star is actually part of the waste products associated with the fusion process.

     

    I have found that you have three phases for each mass level.

    First you get two masses close, but their repulsive force is too strong and they get pushed out of the fusion zone.

    Next, you get the two masses to enter into an entanglement, but again, they fail to fuse.  When the entangled pair get emitted by the star, they begin to vibrate.  I call these energy/mass pairs ETONs, short for energy TONs.  The ETON will vibrate at a fixed frequency until it enters an area of high gravity or an area of high electrostatic charge.  A photon is just an ETON that vibrates in the visible light spectrum.  It is ETONs that conduct all of the vibrational energy transfer between matter.

    The third phase it the actual fusion of the two masses.  At this point we define fusion as having two masses pushed together into a sphere such that all of the mass is in contact with the other particles.

    When fusion occurs, all of the repulsive force between the inner particles is turned into potential energy and is lost until the mass is forcibly dispersed.

     

    So as I said, the fusion process results in a net energy LOSS!

    Only nuclear fission releases the internal bits of matter, which frees the pent up potential energy.

     

    I go through this entire process in my book "I Killed Schrodinger's Cat!"

    We have checked the math and it works.

    As for the H-bomb, remember it was created to go BOOM, not create fused matter.  So without knowing the details, I suspect that all they really achieve is a near fusion event that then releases all of the atoms bits.  There is no evidence that fusion actually occurred.

     

    So I hate to be the barer of bad news, but nuclear fusion is not our future.

    Now I also include some thoughts on how we could change the nuclear fission process so that it become incredibly more efficient and would provide us with ways to mitigate the after affects.

    This will be interesting.  image

     

    Many years ago I heard we would have fusion, so our energy needs would end ... mind you they also suggested the keyboard and mouse wouldn't be needed since we'd just talk to our computers. image

    You are wrong, fusion put out several times more energy per unit of mass than fission. And fission can easily power up all planet for very long time if we have enough reactors.

    I see only one problem, we cannot sustain fusion at power level, that will put out more power than we put in. We need better materials, and so on, but in 10-20 years it should be possible. I am very disappointed in your research.

    And than that happens, humanity will go into new level, of infinite energy compared to our current needs.

     

    Just compare fission and fusion bomb, and you will see the difference, and even better, you will find same problem we need to solve, ignition and sustainability

    @ DAB,

     

    "nuclear fusion is an endo-energetic process" - so how do the Sun and H bombs work ?
