Nikola Tesla

"There manifests itself in the fully developed being , Man, a desire mysterious, inscrutable and irresistible: to imitate nature, to create, to work himself the wonders he perceives.... Long ago he recognized that all perceptible matter comes from a primary substance, or tenuity beyond conception, filling all space, the Akasha or luminiferous ether, which is acted upon by the life giving Prana or creative force, calling into existence, in never ending cycles all things and phenomena. The primary substance, thrown into infinitesimal whirls of prodigious velocity, becomes gross matter; the force subsiding, the motion ceases and matter disappears, reverting to the primary substance."
Nikola Tesla

There is much that could be said about Mr. Nikola Tesla. However there are numerous outside links, which can provide a much better explanation than myself, provided below. The areas of his work which are of particular interest here are his use of resonance and his applications of electrodynamics. Tesla was known to have readily considered the mechanical analog of the electrical machines he constructed. This unique perspective eventually enabled him to develop his dynamic theory of gravity. There is a rumoured experiment in which he levitated a " cylinder of the finest material " using a method he felt was ancient in principle. Later thought experiments with this same principle led to the design of the "Tesla Missle" shown below. Another discovery made by Tesla of specific interest is the detection of natural resonant frequencies of the Earth itself(Schuamann resonance). These occilations occured both in the ground and within the atmospheric cavity between the ground and the ionoshpere. The original pages shown below, from Nikola Tesla's Colorodo Springs notebook, show the standing wave structure within his transmitting antenna. The tower constructed at Wardencliff would have had the capability to send large amounts of power into the ionosphere to pump energy into these natural harmonics ( which could create man made borealis for illumination as well as transmit power worldwide ) . This is essentially what the modern HAARP transmitter in Alaska can do. Nikola Tesla was very familiar with the power of resonance and feedback and applied this power in many of his devices. The world in which we live today is still far behind the imagination of a man who lived one hundred years ago.

I often read stories about Tesla's lost papers and documents, about how the government secreted them away somwhere, and people are angry and want to read these papers. It seems like many people feel if we only had these papers we could re-discover what Tesla was really working on, and discover his secrets. But Tesla did not have to read other peoples documents and papers to originally discover these secrets, he learned them through self-study and experimentation. He learned them by following his heart and mind, despite the ignorance and utter disrespect of those around him. You do not need to read some secret paper to really understand what Tesla was doing. Why seek some papers which have been lost in time, written by a man one hundered years ago, when there is the possibility someone could be presenting this exact same information, right now, for free, in front of your very eyes. When Tesla spoke of his ideas, he was ridiculed, suppressed, ignored, despised and the people and scientists of his time completely dismissed his ideas as fanciful and science fiction. Now today, we clamour to rediscover what he was talking about, with no appologies whatsover for our previous arrogance. Maybe, we should have just listened to Tesla in the first place! Maybe, if someone is making similar claims today, we should not be so quick to outright dismiss those claims, else we again miss these great opportunities. People wonder why nobody saw Tesla's genius, and then they turn around and mock the current geniuses of today, exactly as happened in Tesla's time, and to so many great minds of the past. When people encounter something they do not understand, it is far easier to just jest, than it is to gain the required understanding.

Tesla had learned to keep his ideas to himself, from people like Thomas Edison and J.P. Morgan. Thomas Edison was a thief, a liar, and most of all a total jerk towards Tesla. Tesla worked his whole life for the benefit of humanity, not himself. All his money went into further research, to create his fantastic vision of the future. Tesla was building a electrical system to give free power to the entire world. Thomas Edison was only ever interested in Thomas Edison. Edison only ever cared about the money to be made from selling light and power. His invention of the Electric Chair and his public electrocution of animals are quite simply, inhumane. J.P. Morgan was backing the Wardencliff tower, until he realized how little control it would give him. J.P.Morgan effectively prevented a system which could have replenished the Earth, prevented our current oil dependecies and advanced humanity, all to make money for J.P.Morgan. Unforntunatly our current econmic society supports such sociopaths as Edison and Morgan, providing no room for visionaries or free thinkers such as Nikola Tesla. Why do people always support the selfish and arrogant, instead of supporting those who would and can truly benefit us all? The common person needs to get their priorities straight. What do you value most, money or life?

Nikola Tesla's Dynamic Theory of Gravity

"Nikola Tesla's dynamic theory of gravity was an attempt to ascertain a theory between gravitational radiation and the electromagnetic force as a unified field theory (a model over matter and energy). No mathematical details of the theory are available, nor is there any evidence that Tesla ever worked them out. The most documented part is Tesla's critique of Einstein's theory of relativity - at the time of his announcement, it was considered by the scientific establishment to exceed the bounds of reason. Nowadays it is simply ignored.

The theory was developed initially between 1892 and 1894, during the period that he was conducting experiments with high frequency and high potential electromagnetism, and was never published. Though these principles guided his future research and experiments, Tesla did not announce it until near the end of his life.

Tesla published a prepared statement on his 81st birthday (July 10, 1937) critiquing Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. The following is a portion of that statement:

... Supposing that the bodies act upon the surrounding space causing curving of the same, it appears to my simple mind that the curved spaces must react on the bodies, and producing the opposite effects, straightening out the curves. Since action and reaction are coexistent, it follows that the supposed curvature of space is entirely impossible - But even if it existed it would not explain the motions of the bodies as observed. Only the existence of a field of force can account for the motions of the bodies as observed, and its assumption dispenses with space curvature. All literature on this subject is futile and destined to oblivion. So are all attempts to explain the workings of the universe without recognizing the existence of the ether and the indispensable function it plays in the phenomena...

My second discovery was of a physical truth of the greatest importance. As I have searched the entire scientific records in more than a half dozen languages for a long time without finding the least anticipation, I consider myself the original discoverer of this truth, which can be expressed by the statement: There is no energy in matter other than that received from the environment.

While this statement asserted that Tesla had "worked out a dynamic theory of gravity" that he soon hoped to give to the world, he reportedly died before he publicized the details. Few details were revealed by Tesla about his theory.

As an alternative to Einstein's general relativity, Tesla's theory was supposed to explain gravity using electrodynamics. Details of Tesla's theory that are available consist of basic arguments against space being curved by gravitational effects, which leads some to believe Tesla failed to understand Einstein's theory is not about curved space at all, but curved space-time. There is disagreement about Tesla's exact understanding of Einstein's theories, as Tesla was actively conducting his research during the time of Einstein's research.

The principles of relativity which Tesla disputed show up in very broad range of effects and have been confirmed by numerous experiments. For instance, the relativistic relation between mass and energy, which Tesla did not accept, shows up in a variety of phenomena:

The mass deficit of atomic nuclei, i.e. that atomic nuclei weigh less than the sum of their parts The energy released by particle-antiparticle collisions and absorbed by particle-antiparticle pair creation (annihilation) The increasing inertial mass of particles in accelerators, when their velocity goes near light speed.

How Tesla Proposed to Fly Without Wings, Electrically.

The mechanism Tesla likely used for his flying machine without wings

Multiple Tesla coils create an extremely high electrostatic charge on the outside of the vehicle. By firing these Tesla coils in rapid succesion, a powerful, rapidly rotating electrostatic field is created. The key realization required to understad how this produces lift, is to realize the rotation speed in nearly limitless, because no real mechanical rotation is occuring in the vehicle. Furthermore, the electrostatic field acts on a far greater volume of air, than any wing, propellor or rotor can. Thus there is not only sufficient force for lift, but much greater performance and lifting capacitiy per input horsepower than any standard aircraft.

They finally admit wireless power is possible. I did this in my garage like 10 years ago. Tesla did stuff like this in the early 1900's.

Question's about Tesla and his work? Send me an email( Link on my contact page ). I have tons of experience building Tesla coils and know of many cool experiments you can do with them. I could stick my bare hand into my one coil's 20,000 Volt discharge, and light up a florescent tube in the other hand. Tesla was a genious and I despise those who kept his true genious from humanity. Science and understanding should be free for all people, not limited by the few to control the masses. Tesla's world will one day be a reality. Progress and the power of nature are inevitable and unstoppable.
