Tesla Energy Technology on Art Bell Tonight

[BlackJack]

Take a break from the WAR! Should be interesting program. Will cover tech to pull electricity from atmosphere. Tesla invented Radio and 60 cycle AC.....both of which we will use to listen to program! Amazing.....the grid is still as Tesla designed it 100 years ago. Did you know Tesla demonstrated a remote controlled model boat at the 1894 Chicago Worlds Fair? AND he powered the fair with his AC electric system that demonstrated the wave of the future utility grid. Man was 100 years ahead of his time .....at least. Its all about frequency Baby! Yeah.....

ixnay on the cabway.... No Winston Churchill was hit by a Cab in New York ( Looked the wrong way traffic reversed from england) and lived to lead england.... But tesla was in his hotel room.

In Colorado Springs, Colo., where he stayed from May 1899 until early 1900, Tesla made what he regarded as his most important discovery-- terrestrial stationary waves. By this discovery he proved that the Earth could be used as a conductor and would be as responsive as a tuning fork to electrical vibrations of a certain frequency. He also lighted 200 lamps without wires from a distance of 25 miles (40 kilometres) and created man-made lightning, producing flashes measuring 135 feet (41 metres). At one time he was certain he had received signals from another planet in his Colorado laboratory, a claim that was met with derision in some scientific journals.

Thanks to the internet and a certain radical, russian-born pro laissez faire novelist-philosopher, Tesla is starting to get the recognition and credit he is so deserving of. I think A&E Biography or Nova did a special on him. And there are some good books on Tesla now. There is also a website put up by I think a high school science teacher (apologies if I am wrong) that correctly points out that our own Smithsonian Institution overemphasizes the wizard of menlo park (no need to mention) and needs to recognize Tesla in it's exhibits. I am looking for the link.

The Fantastic Inventions of Nikola Tesla
by Nikola Tesla

This book is a readable and affordable virtual compendium of patents, diagrams, photos and explanations of the many incredible inventions of the originator of the modern era of electrafication. In Tesla's own words, are such topics as wireless transmission of power, death rays, and radio controlled airships. In addition rare material on German bases in Antarctica and South America, and a secret city built at a remote jungle site in South America by one of Tesla's students, Guglielmo Marconi. Marconi's secret group claims to have built flying saucers in the 1940s and to have gone to Mars in the early 1950s! Incredible photos of these Tesla craft are included. The Ancient Atlantean system of broadcasting energy through a grid system of obelisks and pyramids is discussed and a fascinating concept comes out of one chapter that the Egyptian engineers had to wear a protective metal head-shields while in these power-plants, hence the Egyptian Pharoah's head covering as well as the Face on Mars.

About a year ago, I purchased, on clearance, the book "The Inventions, Researches, and Writings of Nikola Tesla". $25 book that I bought for 8 bucks. Well worth the price. I have an engineering degree, and this book makes my head spin. The guy was waaaay ahead of his time. Some of the things he managed to do, he was unable to completely explain. But he did have his theories, some of them pretty darned close to what we regard as the model for electrical energy. What amazes me is that this guy was doing this stuff A CENTURY AGO! No modern electronics, just machines which created his multifrequency AC currents (as well as other things he was into, like his gas turbine engine).

[" And I mean It "]

Evening R-bert.

I have wondered if so called extra-terrestrial UFO's and/or allegedly crashed remnants were not actually terrestial originating explorers (Tesla educated or otherwise) shot down or tragically made some miscalculations with the operation of their craft.

PS thanks for the O&G link from the other day

[Walkingfeather]

What is also amazing about this guy is that he claimed to build his generators in his mind and rund them in his mind for a couple of weeks and then dismantle them again in his mind to check for wear. Now fo rsomeone that knows nothing of Tesla you would think.... BS.... But after reading his work I wouldn't doubt he could do it.

[" And I mean It "]

I think I read this at a Tesla site, but the story goes that two techs at his lab or a factory where they were all working, were debating the shape and volume of a shape - a cylinder cut perpinduclar to the axis of a cylinder. Allegedly, Tesla answered the techs in a few seconds that this (to us a "charcoal-birquette" looking)object had volume such and such.

Think about this. As quickly as you could answer 4/3 pi R cubed to "what's the volume of a sphere?"

It is a sphere plus the volume gained moving to a square in the plane of the two original cylinder intersecting axes.

[BlackJack]

Great pic......thanks for the post. Yep....thats the world's first remote controlled vehicle. Just think....its about 118 years old! Incredible!

[DaveTesla]

While Tesla did much research and work on wireless transmission of power, the source was not the atmosphere.
While is it is possible to receive energy from the atmosphere (natural and man made electromagnetic emissions)
the amount of energy would be nil compared to the expenditure.
Just more Bandini.

[MadRobotArtist]

I thought that I'd read that he disappeared one day without a trace. I could be mistaken. I knew his work disappeared immediately after he was gone though. It's interesting, I wonder who snatched up all of his work? If Tesla had coils that could disrupt time and space, my God the applications are unbelievable. Which tells me that potentially time travel could indeed be a possibility.

[PJ-Comix]

Can you provide a amazon link to this guy. Are there any 3rd grade level reading material that I could read and get to know a bit about him.

I think this might help. Check it out on AMAZON.

BTW, there is a really funny Steinmetz quote that I would like to find. It has something to do with his charge for a part. Incidentally, the most important work in electromagnetic theory was done by Steinmetz. He wrote volumes on this topic. Also available on Amazon.

[Wrigley]

That's a theme with the callers.

Here's an old good thread here Nikola Tesla - Erased at the Smithsonian

Nikola Tesla

Birth:	Jul. 9, 1856
Death:	Jan. 7, 1943
Scientist / Inventor. Tesla was a Croatian immigrant born in Smiljan, Croatia. He arrived in New York a well trained and educated man but penniless. Some of his patented inventions: a system of electrical transmission of power, an electro-magnetic motor, a system of electrical distribution, a dynamo-electrical machine, a regulation system for alternating current motors. He patented a method of operating arc lamps. He is conceded to be the greatest inventor of all times His inventions made radio and TV possible. Without his induction motor, nearly everything that moves on wheels would stop. His inventions made possible cheap electrical light and energy as well as travel on street cars, subways, and electrical railroads. He pointed the way to the automatic pilot, to the rocket airplane, and to the robot bomb. He discovered the nature of cosmic rays. He produced the first bolt of man-made lightning. He harnessed Niagara Falls. Although others made great fortunes from his inventions, Tesla never became financially wealthy. He did however establish a permanent reputation as one of the greatest visionary scientists in the history of physics. To this day scientists scour his notebooks for insights for possible new discoveries and inventions. Tesla died in the Hotel New Yorker. A state funeral was held at St. John The Divine Cathedral in New York City. He was cremated and his ashes ere interned in a golden sphere, Tesla's favorite physical shape. They are on permanent display at the Tesla Museum in Belgrade along with his death mask. (Bio by John R. Bacak) Cause of death: Coronary Thrombosis
Burial: Nikola Tesla Museum Belgrade, Serbia Plot: Third room

[Erasmus]

A great anecdote about Dr. Steinmetz.

One day a group of engineering students were visiting Dr. Steinmetz at his home. They encountered him in his greenhouse, tending his plants.

Dr. Steinmetz noted to the students that a small lizard had a habit of running around the periphery of the greenhouse. He said, "I have discovered that the speed with which the lizard makes the circuit is a function of the ambient temperature. Therefore, if I have the lizard and a stopwatch, I have no need for a thermometer."

One of the students said, "Dr. Steinmetz, has it occurred to you that if you had a stopwatch and a thermometer, you would have no need for the lizard?"

[Erasmus]

By the way, I understand that there is a movement afoot to change the name of the standard unit of frequency from the Hertz to the Charles Proteus Steinmetz.
