TESLA VERSUS EINSTEIN

THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT

The Philadelphia Experiment tells of a Navy experiment in making warships invisible. The experiment went haywire, goes the story, dematerializing a vessel in Philadelphia only to have it rematerialize, crew and all, in Norfolk. Some crew get stuck in the bulkheads during the Einstein space-time transition. The story is set in the year 1944. However, Tesla died in 1943 (January). A review by the Department of Naval Research found no evidence to support the tale.

HAARP

Does Tesla’s peculiar radio technology have anything to do with another black project called HAARP? This gigantic radio-transmitting complex indeed exists in Alaska, and is said to be situated over a huge reservoir of natural gas used to fuel its megawatt dynamos. What a power supply for any transmitter! Very ominous. But is it Tesla? 

Indeed HAARP is radio, which Tesla invented. But Tesla’s radio is longwave, and HAARP's carrier is shortwave (or VHF, depending on your source). These upper bands (3 to 300 mc) Tesla may have never explored, for he knew that they were relatively ineffective compared to the low frequencies (under 500 kc). Of course, HAARP could pulse its carrier to any beat it wants.

Also HAARP's alleged experiment is said to involve the stimulating and heating and bouncing of energy off of an ionosphere, which Tesla insists does not exist and would have absolutely no effect on radio propagation if it did (The True Wireless. 

Earthquakes? Can a radio transmitter's power be similarly directed to a geographic target and execute mechanical effects upon tectonic plates. Could there be perhaps some kind of piezo-electric effect? Tesla did invent the equipment to do the job. His "earthquake machine,"   or tele-geodynamic oscillator, was not a wireless transmitter but a mechanical device, an acoustic vibrator that worked on the mechanical plane, and it could create seismic effects at a distance.

Rumor has it that a Siberian forest near Tungusta was leveled in 1908 by a 15-kiloton blast from Tesla’s magnifying transmitter at the opposite side of the earth. Another rumor is that a super-size Tesla coil secreted underground in Canada accidentally created the summer-2003 East Coast electric-grid blackout is a story that played on Art Bell one night but never gained traction.

"Patents may be the only sound footing in the mythic world of Tesla."

ANTIGRAVITY

UFO’s, antigravity? Both are associated with Tesla. But there are just a few speculative notes, and his few aircraft patents use conventional air-flow lift. Some antigravity experimenters employ the Tesla-coil as a high-voltage power supply. Some UFO researchers speculate that flying saucers use dual out-of-phase Tesla coils in the levitation drive.

Compounding the Tesla Mystique is the inventor's anticipation of technologies unknown to the general public until the 1960's, like fluidics, cryogenics, and computer logic. That Tesla is original and has priority in these arts is assumed by enthusiasts, but confirmation would require extensive searches among patents filed by other inventors of the period. So much innovation gets lost in the patent archives.

DEATH RAY

Tesla, a believer in organized military force, invented weapons of war (robotic boats and submarines, death rays, etc.) which he tried to sell to the US Navy and to the Department of War.

The inventor idealized a mechanized, automated, robotic warfare which would replace human participants entirely with machines. Tesla foresaw weapons of mass destruction and the possibility of a lasting world peace based on mutually-assured-destruction.

Tesla, the inventor of wireless and remote control, foresaw the "teleautomatic" warfare of today in which robotic Predator aircraft, controlled from a bunker in Nevada, deliver bombs and missiles upon Afghanistan. Sorry, but if we credit Tesla with remote control, this invidious connection can be made.

Tesla, the purist engineer, advocated a social engineering that included eugenic cleansing. He said government "should prevent the breeding of the unfit by sterilization and the deliberate guidance of the mating instinct."

Tesla is celebrated for an interesting electric-ray device which he introduced to the press, unfortunately, as a death ray. He explored this clever vacuum invention in laboratory prototypes, and drawings exist in the literature, but he never put it into patent. Because of one cavalier utterance by Tesla at a birthday press conference, the death ray was sensationalized by the media and given disproportionate prominence compared to many other newsworthy Tesla inventions that did get into patent but which the press ignored. All of Tesla's other fascinating work in electric-ray technology is generally ignored and unappreciated even today.

So much fantasy, folklore, and disinformation swim around Tesla that a writer venturing into these waters has difficulty finding any secure footing. This writer had the good fortune of first encountering Tesla solely in patents (having stumbled upon a complete set that someone had photocopied at the National Archives, prior to these becoming available in book). Surveying the field, even as the literature was developed back then in the early eighties, the patents may be the only sound footing in the slippery mythic world of Tesla.

Tesla’s nephew wrote an account of a 1931 drive in his uncle's customized Pierce Arrow, which was powered by an 80 hp AC electric motor that was apparently supplied, not by any massive battery-pack, but by a space-energy receiver. Consisting of a circuit having twelve rectifier vacuum tubes, operating cold-cathode, in a box resembling a radio receiver and measuring about 24 by 12 by 6 inches, the device powered the heavy vehicle for a 50-mile drive at speeds of up to 90 mph. Now this would be the ultimate electric vehicle.

As he drove, Tesla boasted to his nephew that his free-energy device could supply the electrical needs of any household with power to spare. Hopefully, the story is true, but there is only this one account to go by. It belongs to a period of Tesla's life about which not much is known.

"Space energy is a truth  evident in a lightning bolt, but it is a most taboo truth."

Lurking perhaps in Tesla's confiscated notes are drawings of practical table-top space-energy power plants. Subsequent inventors have demonstrated similar successful devices (Morey, Plauson, Coler, Hendershot, Stubblefield...) but they have received more punishment than reward for their efforts.

Tesla said, "Electric power is everywhere present in unlimited quantities and can drive the world's machinery without the need for coal, oil, gas, or any other fuel." This truth is a most taboo truth, but it is evident in a lightning bolt.

The Tesla coil is arguably a free-energy device, or at least an energy magnifier. It's fashionable to say that the conversion technology required to put free energy into practice is way off in the future or locked up in government files awaiting "disclosure." Yes, but only if you ignore all of the archived patents and other available literature, which in the aggregate would supply more than enough knowledge for engineers to proceed with confidence to the developmental workbench.

THE ENERGY SCARCITY LIE

If it is true, as Tesla said, that electric energy is everywhere present and can be harnessed for practical use, then energy-scarcity is a myth. Scarcity, one could argue, is contrived and advertised, not on the basis of any known scientific truth, but upon scientific fictions propagated by well-paid researchers and academics in order to better control the population. The latest wrinkle in this ongoing propaganda campaign is "peak oil." The entire world has been vaccinated with a conviction that electric energy is a finite, limited, esoteric resource that must be centrally generated by obnoxious combustive and nuclear processes or by those ridiculous, unsightly windmill farms. Electricity is sold as a scarce resource that must be conserved, controlled, and paid for by the kilowatt hour.

Contrived scarcity is the ruling system's rule in respect to all energy sources, electric, petroleum, or whatever. Tesla ran afoul of this rule of rules.

TESLA'S WIRELESS DREAM

Tesla invented the 60-cycle AC power system that runs civilization today, the dynamos, transformers, motors, regulators and arc lamps. In 1891, he began a stream of inventing that produced the Tesla coil, radical non-filament lighting devices, the x-ray and other vacuum electric-ray devices, electrotherapy, the magnifying transmitter, radio, wireless power, and even a space-energy receiver.

Although much of Tesla's high-frequency work got into patent, most never went into manufacture, and some which did, like radio, did so under another’s name, like Marconi’s. (Tesla's priority in radio, after decades of litigation, was finally decided by the US Supreme Court in 1944.)

Tesla was denied credit for inventing two fundamental radio-receiver circuits, the regenerative and the superhetrodyne, but both can be found in Tesla's Colorado Springs Notes of 1899.

Few of Tesla's explorations into ray technology got into patent, and this third phase of his experimental life is under-documented.

Tesla's ultimate dream was for the realization of his wireless inventions as a "World System". His ill-fated tower at Wardencliff (near Shoreham, Long Island) was to be the prototype magnifying transmitter for a global communications network. It was to propagate both broadcast and point-to-point wireless, including telephone, telegraph, stock tickers, teletype, even FAX, as well as voice and music on a global scale, a corporate monopolist's dream.

The Wardencliff magnifying transmitter also may have had the potential to be a utility that could propagate electric power wirelessly through the earth to industry and homes in the New York area and perhaps beyond. But this potential is not pushed in the "World System" brochure that was published to promote the project.

Did Tesla advertise this wireless-power capability to his financier, J.P. Morgan? Did a humanitarian Tesla threaten capitalism with free electric power and thus drive Morgan to halt the project?

The project's formidable world telecommunications capability in itself may have been enough to induce Morgan to kill Wardencliff. Tesla's grandiose dream would have taken radio into a global centralization not quite achievable even today. No multinational institutional structure, corporate or governmental, existed at the time upon which such a system could have been founded. At the turn of the century, the J.P. Morgans might have been dreaming globalistically, but it would be thirty years before the moguls could establish radio networks on just a national scale.

Tesla saw his World System as a civilizing force. He wrote, "It will be very efficient in enlightening the masses, particularly in uncivilized countries and less accessible regions."

TESLA VERSUS EINSTEIN

“There is no such thing as an electron,” said Tesla who had no respect for the quantum theory that was becoming fashionable in his own lifetime. 

Like quantum, Tesla had no good words for Einstein’s hallowed theory of relativity, which he called "a mass of errors and deceptive ideas violently opposed to the teachings of great men of science of the past and even to common sense." Einstein "wraps all these errors and fallacies in magnificient mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors." The theory's exponents, he said, are "metaphysicians, not scientists". He said "Not a single one of the relativity propositions has been proved."

"He described relativity as a 'beggar wrapped in purple whom ignorant people take for a king.' In support of his statement he cited a number of experiments he had conducted as far back as 1896 on the cosmic ray. He has measured cosmic-ray velocities from Antarus, he said, which he found to be fifty times greater than the speed of light, thus demolishing, he contended, one of the basic pillars of relativity, according to which there can be no speed greater than that of light.” 
-- New York Times, 7/11/35.

Go all the way with the Einsteinian-quantum-electron and you'll eventually get to the glib, buzzy Dr. Kaku, who has his electrons "darting in and out of parallel universes." (Admit this language into your mind as meaning, and it is your loss.) Einstein, Star Trek, and Kaku are just another way of suppressing Tesla by obfuscation.

Tesla thought science took a wrong turn when it adopted the quantum and Einstein. Premodern science is qualitative. Modern science is quantitative. It materializes the immaterial universe, particle-izes it, counts it, mathematizes it, while discounting the qualitative, the immaterial, the subtle, the etheric, the cosmic, the poetic. It is an error to impute any of this constrictive dogma to the expansive, visionary Nikola Tesla.

Tesla came in on the ground floor of experimental particle physics with his exploration of x-rays (co-incident with Roentgen's explorations). X-rays, he once observed, were "streams of matter." The vocabulary of particle physics he otherwise avoids. The materialistic philosophy of quantum, which promises to find the universe in a quark, would be completely alien to Tesla's cosmic view, in which the ether is the universal continuum, immaterial, a field permeating all of matter and all of space, "a tenuity beyond perception."

EXPLOITED GENIUS

Tesla could visualize machines working in his head! No drawings. No formulations necessary.

In his heyday, Tesla was exploited as the poster-boy for the emerging electric-power utility industry that was exploiting his AC inventions. Far from obscure, Tesla circa 1900 was as famous as Thomas Edison. The press romanced a genius-Tesla to the public in the process of promoting this industry, which would develop into the omnipotent monopolies of Samuel Insull, the modern grid, and Enron.

The J.P. Morgan (Rothschild agent) owned media turned on their pet genius and tried to render him invisible by limiting his exposure.

The Tesla brand was used by the system and then abruptly disposed of, but it has seen a little revival today. The Tesla sportscar does have a plausible claim in that today's electric cars use AC motors derived from Tesla's.

Would the modern electrical age never have happened without Nikola Tesla? Tesla's alternating-current meshed with the needs of an industrial system which could not have expanded nationally into today's expansive grid on Edison's puny direct-current system.

Some differentiate Tesla as so exceptional that he must have come from another planet.
