ANOMALY

Deep in the heart of many conspiratist topics sits a desperate desire to rediscover the lost magic of Nature. It was with this lost magic, this qualitatively accessed communion with Nature, that late Victorian researchers were all too familiar. Their numerous accounts cannot often be rationalized against the wall of academic regulation which prides itself in explaining all natural phenomena through Simple mechanisms, the reductions of natural phenomena to meaningless force-chains. But even the journals of that day reveal a scientific world absolutely awash in discoveries and anomalous phenomena, portraying energies and dynamics which defy mechanistic explanation. The lost magic of vital energy! Developments which came with our present century represent empirical discoveries which yet have no theoretical precedent. In the very midst of that marvelous Epoch stand several personages who must forever remain as legends of Qualitative Science. One of these is Nikola Tesla. But why is Tesla the shadow which yet so haunts and provokes military researchers? Furthermore, why can it be said that the name of Nikola Tesla represents the “absolute rule” by which to comprehend each of the successive military projects, seemingly separate and unconnected experimental ventures observed throughout the Twentieth Century?

Why are the various achievements of Tesla so often quoted in military hardware articles, proposals which seem to attract the greatest interest only after mentioning both his name and some aspect of his work? Since they most certainly have not been able to duplicate Teslian Technology, why then do we continually find that military project committees are forever yet attempting to approximate Teslian Technology> Every professional Tesla aficionado secretly knows that Tesla electrical energies were more like luminous beams of gaseous light than radio waves or electrified particles. What they do not know is how he produced the energies. This Simple but profound process represents a
most fundamental natural principle which could never have been predicted. Having been the result of accidental empirical discovery, so few suspect it can exist. The blinding influence of mathematically precise models serves only to block awareness that other realities can or do exist. However basic and simple, Tesla Technology contains the secret of a power revolution which each knows would have changed the world. In his lifetime, the once famous Tesla became the target of dubious financial intrigues, failed death attempts, and outrageous
deprivations and deprecations. The fear which surrounded this rare genius seemed to heighten with his every announcement, a thing which greatly amused him throughout the years of his self-exile. It is the persistence of this fear which so provokes military agencies the world over to make attempts in this essential research.

The central effort of each Cold War project tells the tale of seemingly separate themes. But once again, only a complete familiarity with each stage of technical achievement in this progressive advancement can enable an informed comprehension of such themes. From a singular vantage point alone do we see each of these separate themes merge, intertwine, and become coherent Themes germane to comprehending Cold War Technology were each the resuIt of private attempts at reproducing the achievements of a Single individual, one whose work has now positively haunted the scientific and military world in excess of a century. Why indeed is it also very obvious that, with the exception
of one very Simple discovery, neither military nor private developers have yet successfully duplicated any part of true Teslian Technology? In order to best appreciate the sheer frustration of radio and military engineers, whose consistent failure to reproduce the effects reported by Nikola Tesla troubles their fundamental theoretical base, we must study something of Tesla and his own
work.

The technical themes relevant to understanding of all advanced technologies necessarily begins with Tesla. Because of a long-standing network of misinformation and the resultant skewed academic perceptions, Teslian Impulse Technology has never been openly legitimized or endorsed as a viable threat to either military or industrial agencies. This gloss is of course a complete fabrication. The most diligent examination of Tesla lectures and other lost Tesla publications, coupled with access to corroborative experimental work which vindicates most of Tesla’s own findings, has made the following chapter possible. In these few pages, you will therefore receive a summary review of
the essential Teslian principles. These are absolutely necessary before we proceed with our central theme. My Simple request is that you patiently read through this section, keeping in mind that all of the information will be completely applicable to each subsequent chapter.

It is only through the window of Teslian Impulse Technology that we can comprehend the progression of projects industrial and military throughout the entire Century. Learning each lesson carefully will best help appreciate the scope of this present theme in all of its deep implications. Here you will find factual information otherwise difficult, if not impossible, to obtain. One learns quickly that “things Teslian” are much more than they appear to be. Tesla was a classical lover of conundrums and enigmas, and knew how to use them to encrypt his meanings. When Tesla spoke, everyone listened intently. But few persons understood his meaning. To know Teslian Technology, one must be
willing to suspend conventional knowledge, listening only to the descriptions and cunning understatements by which Tesla craftily concealed his priority discoveries. Confusion over a surprising few distinctions has proved to be the only stumbling block keeping professional engineering communities from achieving the Teslian agenda.

It is for many young aspiring scholars an astounding revelation to find that the degree of revolutionary thought engaged before the Century’s turn went further than modern technology now dares to dream. The more established academes consistently rejected Teslian hypotheses as a matter of habit. Tesla was nothing less than a Jules Verne character, who stepped out of a visionary world and worked wonders in the world. What Tesla achieved could not have been made possible without his extraordinary sensitivity and keen awareness
of his own perceptions. In the absence of physical evidence, Tesla all too often worked his way toward natural truth. In this manner he discovered what theoreticians would never seek.

Most who pursue things Teslian know the sundry details of his early work in Polyphase, and his subsequent discovery of high frequency alternating current. Few however manage to isolate, identify, and comprehend his most important single discovery, the phenomenon through which all of his supposed outlandish claims were actually made possible. The discovery has not been adequately described among those who claim to know something beyond the initiatory facts concerning his work. Those who believe that only experimentation
will reveal the truth concerning Tesla may be in for a sad defeat Indeed, those who undertake the reproduction of Teslian transformers know the disappointment and subsequent disinterest which has followed so many others before. Few are honest enough to admit the possibility that their own failed experimental reproductions are entirely due to their own misunderstanding. Those who publish the plans for such designs have already contaminated the process with a fundamental and failure-prone misunderstanding. Old electrical experimenter’s texts are no better. By the end of the last Century, so much misinformation concerning the essential Teslian component, the Tesla Transformer,
had brought a complete and devastating chaos to the field. When experimental results therefore contradict statements made by Tesla, the usual conclusions find soured agreement with the low opinions of Tesla which academicians hold. In the rare instance that they are able to manage a positive remark, usually one of mock indulgence, the accolades address his early work with Polyphase. Other than these occasional smug comments, most academicians view Tesla as a “poet-scientist” who made too much of standard phenomena. Nothing can be further from the truth.

After completing his initial work in Polyphase and High Frequency Alternating Currents, Tesla made a Singular discovery which forever altered the course and nature of his experimental research. Whether purposefully or inadvertently, this Singular discovery has been completely overlooked even by those who claim to know his work best. A Single article and statements made in several of his Lectures absolutely affirm the conviction that Tesla, while working with violently abrupt electrical discharges, discovered a new force. Indeed, it was through the development and application of this new physical agency, his greatest discovery, that Tesla encountered unexpected and devastating hostility throughout both the academic and the financial worlds. The monstrous social forces which drove him into self-exile did not, however,
stop him from continuing his most important applications of this energetic species. Living in New York City until his passing in 1943, Nikola Tesla continued to conduct small experiments in applications which recall his discovery of radiant electrical energy. Few of his experiments were conducted without an accompanying assortment of reliable witnesses.

Throughout his lifetime in New York City there were many notables who observed these developments with greatest fascination. Among those who were awestruck by the things they saw were Samuel Clemens, Marguerite Merington, Robert UnderwoodJohnson, Edward Hewitt, Kolman Czito, Fritz Lowenstein, George Scherff, Dr.Jolm Hammond, Lee de Forest, and Dr. Anton Kammela, Several mysterious professionals who assisted Tesla in his actual tests runs were Simply referred to as “Mr. Uhlmann, Mr. Ailey, and Mr. Myers”. Apart from this scant information, we do not know more of these witnesses to his works. Along with these personages were a number of his private machinists.
His secretaries, a number including Dorothy Skerritt and Muriel Arbus, bore witness to his persistent experimentation. The office at 8 E.40th Street off Fifth Avenue also served as a small laboratory workshop. All of this was moved to the Hotel New Yorker in his later years. Thus whether on the large scale, by which his younger years of experimenting were performed, or on the small scale, which characterized his last years, there are several witnesses to his continuous exertions and successes, What Tesla stated in the press, throughout his career, were always supported by a great number of experimental proofs.

VORTEX

Tesla spent his student years in the Polytechnic Institute at Graz, Austria. While thoroughly engrossed in deep study of the “electrical mysteries”, young Nikola Tesla observed the operation of an alternating current generator in a lecture hall demonstration. This was the high frontier of his day, and he was very much impressed with the apparent efficiency of this design. When compared with the older Gramme machines, this alternating current generator was a true engineering marvel. The complete absence of commutator bands in the housing allowed the complete elimination of sparking losses, a greatly increased efficiency in output current being the result. The AC generator did not sizzle as it turned, it hummed. The problem was in the form of current which emerged. It alternated with a regular tempo, first surging one way, and then the other. Used for every application save one, motors, the AC generator outperformed any device which formerly comprised the electrical arsenal of apparatus. Slowly, methodically, young Tesla began developing a conceptual model for a new system of power distribution based on alternating current. Consumers could be given a superior electrical supply, one which would replace every
Edisonian model then so much the revolution. The Tesla systems could supply power for most electrical appliances. Most, but not all. Motors proved to be the problem. How to manage the continuous rotation of a motor operated by an alternating current proved too taxing for any other mind. Tesla himself was completely baffled for a time with this perplexing problem, but not because he could not solve it. Tesla knew he already had the answer, a familiar experience for one who received inspiration through vision. Tesla was awaiting the moment when the revelation would flash before his eyes. Ready for that instant, he would simply write down what he perceived in the ecstasy of his visions.

This vision proved nearly impossible to release until, while strolling in a park, he chanced to behold a beautiful sunset. Moved to emotion, Tesla began quoting a melodious poem written by his favored author, Goethe. During this dramatic rendition, Tesla suddenly became enraptured with the vision of a swirling vortex in the very heart of the sun. In this momentary episode, Tesla demonstrated both his absolute reliance on vision and his ability to materialize the same. The use of several superimposed alternating currents managed the formation of a swirling magnetic vortex, one in whose grip an armature was forcibly and continuously dragged around upon its axle. Tesla Polyphase revolutionized the world. Tesla became a multimillionaire literally overnight. Together with George Westinghouse, he harnessed Niagara Falls,
establishing forever the hydroelectric resource. Tesla continued seeking new ways to improve his Polyphase system, developing means for raising the frequency of current alternations into new and formerly unknown levels. He designed and tested a few new high frequency alternators, high speed rotating machines which produced up to 30,000 alternations per second. Tesla also found it possible to send such high frequency alternations through a single wire.

At this time, Tesla unfortunately attracted the monopolistic dreams of one l P. Morgan. The contact, established through Morgan’s associates, was one which had more the atmosphere of a threat. Politely refused by the young Tesla on several occasions, the continual visits by Morgan associates became something of a humorous charade. Tesla had observed the results of yielding to these forays, while working with Thomas Edison in New Jersey. Morgan, who worked his way to the Edison Company, eventually became the primary stockholder. Enunciating his impossible demands on Edison, the aged inventor was reduced to an callous and embittered shell. Tesla, who kept politely refusing Morgan, was finally threatened. Powerline technology had been monopolized by Morgan who, on the strength of this monopoly, strongly suggested that Tesla might not be able to export his Polyphase Power to any consumers. Without Morgan-owned powerlines there would be no Tesla-
Westinghouse Company. Tesla informed Morgan that means had already be found to eliminate the need for powerlines, a statement which appeared the very height of desperation. Morgan believed he had sufficiently leaned on Tesla to acquire his company. But these attempts to force Tesla to yield failed.  Tesla proved more indomitable than even the imposing Morgan and, when the silence was broken, Tesla demonstrated before Morgan associates a new means for transmitting high frequency alternations through both the ground and the air in absence of powerlines. Morgan was literally thunderstruck by this premise, and sought opportunities against Tesla at every turn.  Students are taught that Tesla developed non-rotating high frequency generators, systems employing sparks and capacitors. The name of Tesla is inexorably and tragically equated only with alternating currents. It is in this essential error that academes, engineers, young students, and avid experimenters have too long remained. Though engineers still erroneously equate Tesla only with high frequency alternating current, a recent and prolific experimenter has proven all these suppositions to be fraudulent. While Tesla was in fact the first to discover the high frequency alternating current realm, there was a more important discovery which is rarely outlined. The truth of this second great discovery
remains unrecognized and unappreciated.

But what was the critical event which few recognize, and which fewer still have the patience to extract from Tesla literature? When did this event occur, and how does Tesla address the finding? Except for the consummate achievements of engineer Eric Dollard, undoubtedly the most brilliant expositor of Teslian Technology in the world today, we too would have believed the error. What Mr. Dollard has successfully demonstrated is the absolute separation between Tesla’s Polyphase period and the Impulse Technology which explains his fifty years of experiments conducted until his passing. Mr. Dollard experimentally vindicated most of Tesla’s basic and seemingly outlandish claims. In
a series of experimental demonstrations, exact reproductions of Tesla systems, Mr. Dollard shows us evidence that post-Polyphase Teslian Technology relied entirely upon a strange and special electroradiant phenomenon. But how did Tesla arrive at this new and revolutionary development, and how do engineers perceive this phase of his work?

SHOCK WAVES

James Clark-Maxwell predicted the possibility that electromagnetic waves might exist. In theoretical discussions designed to more thoroughly explain his mathematical descriptions, Maxwell asked his readers to consider two different kinds of electrical disturbance possibly existing in Nature. The first consideration dealt with longitudinal electric waves, a phenomenon which required alternating concentrations of electrostatic field lines. This densified and rarefied pulsation of electrostatic fields necessarily demanded a unidirectional field, one whose vector was fixed in a singular direction. The only variable permitted in generating longitudinal waves was the concentration of he field.
Subsequent propagation along the electrostatic field lines would produce pulsating thrusts on charges, pulsations moving in a Single direction. These “electrical soundwaves” were rejected by Maxwell, who concluded that such a condition was impossible to achieve.

His second consideration dealt with the existence of transverse electromagnetic waves. These required the rapid alternation of electrical fields along a fixed axis. Space spreading electrical lines would supposedly “bend to and fro” under their own momentum, while radiating away at the speed of light from the alternating source. Corresponding forces, exact duplicates of the alternations produced at the source, would be detected at great distances. He encouraged that experimenters seek this waveform, suggesting possible means for achieving the objective. And so the quest to find electromagnetic waves began.

impacts_3x3

In 1887, Heinrich Hertz announced that he had discovered electromagnetic waves, an achievement at that time of no small imporl. In 1889, Nikola Tesla attempted the reproduction of these Hertzian experiments. Conducted with absolute exactness in his elegant South Fifth Avenue Laboratory, Tesla found himself incapable of producing the reported effects. No means however applied would produce the effects which Hertz claimed. Tesla began experimenting with abrupt and powerful electric discharges, using oil filled mica capacitors charged to very high potentials. He found it possible to explode thin wires with these abrupt discharges. Dimly perceiving something of importance in this experimental series, Tesla abandoned this experimental series, all the while pondering the mystery and suspecting that Hertz had somehow mistakenly associated electrostatic inductions or electrified shockwaves in air for true electromagnetic waves. In fact, Tesla visited Hertz and personally proved these refined observations to Hertz who, being convinced that Tesla was correct, was about to withdraw his thesis. Hertz was truly disappointed, and Tesla greatly regretted having to go to such lengths with an esteemed academician in order to prove a point

But while endeavoring toward his own means for identifying electrical waves, Tesla was blessed with an accidental observation which forever changed the course of his experimental investigations. Indeed, it was an accident which forever changed the course of his life and destiny. In his own attempts to achieve where he felt Hertz had failed, Tesla developed a powerful method by which he hoped to generate and detect real electromagnetic waves. Part of this apparatus required the implementation of a very powerful capacitor bank. This capacitor “battery” was charged to very high voltages, and subsequently discharged through short copper bus-bars. The explosive bursts thus obtained produced several coincident phenomena which deeply impressed Tesla, far exceeding the power of any electrical display he had ever seen, These proved to hold an essential secret which he was determined to uncover.

The abrupt sparks, which he termed “disruptive discharges”, were found capable of exploding wires into vapor. They propelled very sharp shockwaves, which struck him with great force across the whole front of his body. Of this surprising physical effect, Tesla was exceedingly intrigued. Rather like gunshots of extraordinary power than electrical sparks, Tesla was completely absorbed in this new study. Electrical impulses produced effects commonly associated only with lightning. The explosive effects reminded him of similar occurrences observed with high voltage DC generators. A familiar experience among workers and engineers, the Simple closing of a switch on a high voltage dynamo often brought a stinging shock, the assumed result of residual static charging.

This hazardous condition only occurred with the sudden application of high voltage DC. This crown of deadly static charge stood straight out of highly electrified conductors, often seeking ground paths which included workmen and switchboard operators. In long cables, this instantaneous charge effect produced a hedge of bluish needles, pointing straight away from the line into the surrounding space. The hazardous condition appeared briefly, at the very instant of switch closure. The bluish sparking crown vanished a few milliseconds later, along with the life of any unfortunate who happened to have been so “struck”. After the brief effect passed, systems behaved as designed. Such
phenomena vanished as charges slowly saturated the lines and systems. After this brief surge, currents flowed smoothly and evenly as designed. The effect was a nuisance in small systems. But in large regional power systems where voltages were excessive, it proved deadly. Men were killed by the effect, which spread its deadly electrostatic crown of sparks throughout component systems. Though generators were rated at a few thousand volts, such mysterious surges represented hundreds of thousands, even millions of volts. The problem was eliminated through the use of highly insulated, heavily grounded relay switches. Former engineering studies considered only those features of power systems which accommodated the steady state supply and consumption of power. It seemed as though large systems required both surge and normal operative design considerations. Accommodating the dangerous initial “supercharge” was a new feature. This engineering study became the prime focus of power companies for years afterward, safety devices and surge protectors being the subject of a great many patents and texts. Tesla knew that the strange supercharging effect was only observed at the very instant in which dynamos were applied to wire lines, just as in his explosive capacitor discharges. Though the two instances were completely different, they both produced the very same effects. The instantaneous surge supplied by dynamos briefly appeared super-concentrated in long lines. Tesla calculated that this electrostatic concentration was several orders in magnitude greater than any voltage which the dynamo could supply. The actual supply was somehow being amplified or transformed. But how?

The general consensus among engineers was that this was an electrostatic “choking” effect. Many concluded it to be a “bunching” action, where powerfully applied force was unable to move charge quickly through a system. Mysterious, the combined resistance of such systems seemed to influence the charge carriers before they were able to move away from the dynamo terminals’ Like slapping water with a rapid hand, the surface seemed solid. So also it was with the electrical force, charges meeting up against a seemingly solid wall. But the effect lasted only as long as the impact. Until current carriers had actually “caught up” with the applied electrical field, the charges sprang from the line in all directions. A brief supercharging effect could be expected until charges were distributed, smoothly flowing through the whole line and system. The dynamo itself thus became the brief scene of a minor shockwave. He began wondering why it was possible for electrostatic fields to move more quickly than the actual charges themselves, a perplexing mystery. Was the field itself an entity which simply drove the more massive charges along? IT this was true, then of what was the electrostatic field itself “composed”? Was it a field of smaller particles? The questions were wonderfully endless.

DSC09681

Despite the wonderful ideas which this study stimulated, Tesla saw a practical application which had never occurred to him. Consideration of the dynamo supercharging effect suggested a new experimental apparatus. It was one which could greatly outperform his capacitor battery in the search to find electrical waves. A Simple high voltage DC generator provided his electric field source. Tesla understood that the resistance of lines or components, viewed from the dynamo end, seemed to be an impossible “barrier” for charge carriers to penetrate. This barrier caused the “bunching” effect. Electrostatic charges were literally stopped and held for an instant by line resistance, a barrier which
only existed during the brief millisecond interval in which the power switch was closed. The sudden force application against this virtual barrier squeezed charge into a density impossible to obtain with ordinary capacitors. It was the brief application of power, the impact of charge against the resistance barrier, which brought this abnormal electro-densified condition. This is why the conductive wires in his present experiment often exploded.

The analogy to steam power and steam engines was unmistakable. Large steam engines had to be valved very carefully. This required the expertise of old and well-experienced operators who knew how to “open up” an engine without rupturing the vessels and causing a deadly explosion. Too suddenly valved, and even a large steam engine of very high capacity could explode. Steam also had to be admitted into a system gently, until it began smoothly and gradually flowing into every orifice, conduit, and component. Here too was the mysterious “choking” effect, where a large capacity system seemed to behave like an uncommonly high resistance to any sudden and sustained application of force. Tesla learned that he could literally shape the resultant discharge, by modifying certain circuit parameters. Time, force, and resistance were variables necessary to producing the phenomenon.

PERMEATIONS

The academic world of experimenters was yet fixated on his former discovery of high frequency alternating currents. It seemed that Tesla alone now exclusively studied these impulse discharges. He was producing explosive impulses which had not been observed in laboratories. Every component was carefully insulated, himself implementing insulator rods and rubberized regalia to insure complete safety. Tesla had observed electrostatic machines whose ability to charge insulated metals was potent, but this demonstration exceeded the mere charging of wire by the instantaneous switch closure. This effect produced “springing” charge, phenomena like no other before witnessed by Tesla for its sheer strength. Whatever the conditions observed in previous systems, he had now learned how to maximize the effect. Balancing voltage
and resistance against capacity, Tesla learned to routinely produce supercharge states which no existing device could equal.

Empirical observation had long taught that ordinary capacitor discharges were oscillating currents, spark currents which literally “bounced” between each capacitor plate until their stored energy was wasted away. The high voltage of the dynamo exerted such an intense unidirectional pressure on the densified charges that alternations were impossible. The only possible backrushes were oscillations. In this case, charges surged and stopped in a long series until the supercharge was wasted away. All parameters which forced such oscillations actually limited the supercharge from manifesting its total energetic supply, a condition Tesla strove to eliminate. Indeed he spent an
excessive time developing various means to block every “backrush” and other complex current echo which might forced the supercharge to prematurely waste its dense energy. Here was an effect demanding a Single unidirectional super pulse. With both the oscillations and alternations eliminated, new and strange effects began making their appearance. These powerful and penetrating phenomena were never observed when working with high frequency alternations. The sudden quick closure of the switch now brought a penetrating shockwave
throughout the laboratory, one which could be felt both as a sharp pressure and a penetrating electrical irritation. A “sting”. Face and hands were especially sensitive to the explosive shockwaves, which also produced a curious “stinging” effect at close range. Tesla believed that material particles approaching the vapor state were literally thrust out of the wires in all directions. In order to better study these effects, he poised himself behind a glass shield and resumed the study. Despite the shield, both shockwaves and stinging effects were felt by the now mystified Tesla. This anomaly provoked a curiosity of the very deepest kind, for such a thing was never before observed. More powerful
and penetrating than the mere electrostatic charging of metals, this phenomenon literally propelled high voltage charge out into the surrounding space where it was felt as a stinging sensation. The stings lasting for a small fraction of a second, the instant of switch closure. But Tesla believed that these strange effects were a Simple effect of ionized shockwaves in the air, rather like a strongly ionized thunderclap.

225W_Tesla_coil_-_arcs_(cropped)

Tesla devised a new series of experiments to measure the shockwave pressure from a greater distance. He required an automatic “trip switch”. With this properly arranged, a more controlled and repetitious triggering of the effect was possible. In addition, this arrangement permitted distant observations which might cast more light on the shied-permeating phenomenon. Controlling the speed of the high voltage dynamo controlled the voltage. With these components properly adjusted, Tesla was able to walk around his large gallery spaces
and make observations. Wishing also to avoid the continuous pressure barrage and its slinging sparks, Tesla shielded himself with several materials. The arrangement of rapidly interrupted high voltage direct currents resulted in the radiation of slinging rays which could be felt at great distances from their super-sparking source. In fact, Tesla felt the slings right through the shields! Whatever had been released from the wires during the instant of switch closure, successfully penetrated the shields of glass and of copper. It made no difference, the effect permeated each substance as if the shield were not there at all. Here was an electrical effect which communicated directly through space
without material connections. Radiant electricity!

In these several new observations, the phenomenon was violating electrostatic charge principles experimentally established by Faraday. Projected electrostatic charges normally spread out over the surface of metallic shield, they do not penetrate metal. This effect had certain very non-electrical characteristics. Tesla was truly mystified by this strange new phenomenon, and searched the literature for references to its characteristics. No such reference was found, except in the surreptitious observations of two experimenters. In one case, Joseph Henry observed the magnetization of steel needles by a heavy spark discharge. The extraordinary feature of this observation (1842) lay in the fact
that the Leyden Jar, whose spark apparently produced the magnetizations, stood on the upper floor of an otherwise electrically impervious building. Brick walls, thick oak doors, heavy stone and iron flooring, tin ceilings. Moreover, the steel needles were housed in a vault in the cellar. How did the spark affect such a change through such a natural barrier? Dr. Henry believed that the spark had released special “light-like rays”, and these were the penetrating agencies responsible for the magnetizations.

A second such account (1872) occurred in a high school building in Philadelphia Elthu Thomson, a physics instructor, sought to make the sparks of a large Ruhmkorrf Spark Cot! more visible for his next lecture. Attaching one pole of the cot! to a cold water pipe, and reactivating the coil, Thomson was thrilled to find that the nature of the spark had changed from blue to white. Wishing to amplify this effect, Thomson attached the other pole to a large metal tabletop. Again reactivating the coil produced a shrieking silver-white spark, entirely visible to any who sat in the last row. Wishing to show this to a colleague, Edwin Houston, Thomson made for the door and was abruptly stopped. Touching the brass knob on the otherwise insulated oak door, Thomson received an unexpected sizzling shock. Turning off the Ruhmkorrf
Coil, Thomson found it possible to stop the effect. Calling for Edwin, he summarized what had occurred. Then turning the unit back on again, the stinging charge effects returned. The two gentlemen ran throughout the huge stone, oak, and iron building with insulated metal objects now. Each touch of a penknife or screwdriver to anything metallic, however distant from the coil or insulated from the floor, produced long and continuous white sparks. The account was written up as a short article in Scientific American later in the same year.

In studying each of these two prior observations, events each separated by some thirty years, Tesla perceived an essential unity with that of his own discovery. Each observation was perhaps a slight variant of the very same phenomenon. Somehow accidentally, each experimenter had managed to produce the explosive super-charging effect. In the case of Dr. Henry, the explosive bursts occurred in a Single flash, electrostatic machines being used to accumulate the initial charge. The second case was peculiar, since it evidenced the sustained and continuous production of super-charging effects. The effect was rare because it obviously required very stringent electrical parameters.
Tesla deduced this from the simple fact that the effect was so infrequently observed by experimenters the world over. In addition, he was quick to remark concerning the anomalous attributes attached to the phenomenon. Tesla knew that, despite the extremely penetrating effects in each case, he had secured the only means for achieving the “complete” and maximum manifestation of supercharging. His was an apparatus with no equal, capable of releasing an aspect of the electrostatic field which others very apparently had not. Though discovered by Tesla in 1889, the preliminary observation of this effect was published after an intensive battery of investigations. The “Dissipation of Electricity”, published just prior to Christmas of 1892, is the pivotal Tesla lecture. This is the departure point in which Tesla abandons research
and development of high frequency alternating current. Divorcing himself from that field entirely, Tesla describes the shockwaves and other effects of IMPULSES. In addition to those physical sensations which he describes in characteristic understatements, Tesla also enlarges upon the “gaseous” aspects associated with the phenomena. He observed that the abruptly charged wires in his experiments projected a strange gaseous stream when immersed in an oil bath. A phenomenon which he once thought due entirely to wire-adsorbed gases, he found that the effect could be so continuously produced from a Single wire that no volume of ordinary adsorbed gas could supply the flow. Indeed, he was able to produce streams of this kind in oil which so powerfully projected from charged wire ends that they visibly depressed the oil into a hole, some two inches in depth! Tesla began to realize the true nature of the fine issuing “gas” which projected from wire ends immersed in oil. He now prepared an extensive series of tests in order to determine the true cause and nature of these shocking air pulses. In his article, Tesla describes the shield-permeating shocks as “soundwaves of electrified air”. Nevertheless, he makes a remarkable statement concerning the sound, heat, light, pressure, and shock which he sensed passing directly through copper plates. Collectively, they “imply the presence of a medium of gaseous structure, that is, one consisting of independent carriers capable of free motion”. Since air was obviously not this “medium”, to what then was he referring? Further in the article he clearly states that “besides the air, another medium is present”.

RADIANT ELECTRICITY

Through successive experimental arrangements, Tesla discovered several facts concerning the production of his effect. First, the cause was undoubtedly found in the abruptness of charging. It was tn the switch closure, the very instant of “closure and break”, which thrust the effect out into space. The effect was definitely related to time, IMPULSE time. Second, Tesla found that it was imperative that the charging process occurred in a single impulse. No reversal of current was permissible, else the effect would not manifest. In this, Tesla made succinct remarks describing the role of capacity in the spark-radiative circuit. He found that the effect was powerfully strengthened by placing a capacitor between the disrupter and the dynamo. While providing a tremendous power in the effect, the dielectric of the capacitor also served to protect the dynamo windings. Not yet sure of the process at work in this phenomenon, Tesla sought the empirical understanding required for its amplification and utilization. He had already realized the significance of this unexpected effect. The idea of bringing this strange and wondrous new phenomenon to its full potential already suggested thrilling new possibilities in his mind. He completely abandoned research and development of alternating current systems after this event, intimating that a new technology was about to unfold. The effect could also be greatly intensified to new and more powerful levels by raising the voltage, quickening the switch “make-break” rate, and shortening
the actual time of switch closure. Thus far, Tesla employed rotating contact switches to produce his unidirectional impulses. When these mechanical impulse systems failed to achieve the greatest possible effects, Tesla sought a more “automatic” and powerful means. He found this “automatic switch” in special electrical arc dischargers. The high voltage output of a DC generator was applied to twin conductors through his new arc mechanism, a very powerful permanent magnet sitting crosswise to the discharge path. The discharge arc was automatically and continually “blown out” by this magnetic field. Imperative toward obtaining the desired rare effect, the capacitor and its
connected wire lines had to be so chosen as to receive and discharge the acquired electrostatic charge in unidirectional staccato fashion. The true Tesla circuit very much resembles a pulse jet, where no back pressure ever stops the onrushing flow. Electrostatic charge rises to a maximum, and is discharged much more quickly. The constant application of high voltage dynamo pressure to the circuit insures that continual successions of “charge-rapid discharge” are obtained. It is then and only then that the Tesla Effect is observed. Pulses literally flow through the apparatus from the dynamo. The capacitor, disrupter, and its attached wire lines, behave as the flutter valve.

The high voltage dynamo remains the true electrostatic source in the apparatus. This was a fact well appreciated by Tesla, who disliked the painful radiant effects proceeding into space. It was evident that the dynamo had somehow been modified by the addition of these “pulsing valve” circuits. The dynamos being used provided deadly voltages, capable of killing a man. The valve circuits were forcing a strange radiance of those decay field energies. Somehow, the dynamo energy was being expanded into space with dangerous and painful force. But how? By what mysterious and provocative means was this condition established? The result of this experimental series fixed a new concept in Tesla’s mind. Tesla had of course realized the implications of his mysterious shocking-field effect. This was radiant electricity. With this phenomenon,
Tesla could develop a far better world-changing technology than Polyphase. Moreover, this radiant electric effect could replace powerlines.
The Tesla Research Laboratory was a four story structure which stood at 33-35 South Fifth Avenue in New York City. Buildings such as the Tesla Laboratory may yet be found in the Soho section of Manhattan. Each is large in size, amply supplied with several floors of immense gallery halls and upper floor studios. He was thus afforded the space to perform several critical experiments in broadcast electrical power techniques. Tesla first conducted elaborate and extensive investigations in order to comprehend the exact nature of this new electrical effect. Tesla realized that this strange “shocking field” actually radiated through space from the impulse apparatus. If this was electrostatic energy, it was more intense and more penetrating than any electrostatic field he had ever observed. If this was merely a “stuttered” electrostatic field,
why then was its strength so very intensified? Tesla began to believe that he had discovered a new electrical force, not simply a treatment of an existing force. It is for this reason that he often described the effect as “electrodynamic” or “more electrostatic”.

By properly adjusting the inherent circuit parameters, Tesla learned how to produce an extremely rapid series of unidirectional impulses on demand. When the impulses were short, abrupt, and precise in their successions, Tesla found that the shocking effect could permeate very large volumes of space with apparently no loss of intensity. He also found that the shocking effect penetrated sizable metal shields and most insulators with ease. Developing a means for controlling the number of impulses per second, as well as the intermittent time intervals between each successive impulse, he began discovering a new realm of effects. Each impulse duration gave its own peculiar effects. Able to feel the stinging shocks, though shielded at a distance of nearly fifty feet from his apparatus, Tesla recognized at once that a new potential for electrical power transmission had been revealed to him. Tesla was first to understand that electrical shock waves represented a new means for transforming the world.

Even as his Polyphase had done, Tesla fully intended to disclose his discoveries to the world at large. Radiant electricity had special characteristics of which the scientific world had no knowledge. If released with sufficient power, radiant electrical broadcasts could kill. His initial experiments were sufficiently potent enough to cause severe and painful stings. Here was a lethal system requiring control and development What was intended to be a great benefit to humanity could be misconstrued as the greatest detriment. Working with a simple but powerful embodiment of his original apparatus, Tesla found that radiant electricity could induce powerful electrical effects at a distance. These effects were not alternations, not alternating waves. They were longitudinal waves, composed of successive shocking waves. The advance of each shocking wave, followed by short neutral zones together comprised the radiant field. Vectorial components of these shockwave successions were always unidirectional. The stuttering shockwaves were capable of forcing charges in the direction of their propagation.

Objects placed near this device became powerfully electrified, retaining a Singular charge sign for many minutes after the magnetic discharger had been deactivated. Tesla found it possible to amplify these Single charge effects by a Simple asymmetrical alignment of the magnetic discharger. By placing the magnetic discharger closer to one or the other side of the charging dynamo, either force positive or force negative vectors could be selected and projected, Thus, charge could be projected into or drawn from any object in the field space.
Introducing objects into the radiant space gave spectacular effects, becoming surrounded by crowns of white sparks. Objects charged by this apparatus evidenced a powerful and permeating charge action like no other seen before. This was a new electrical force. Tesla realized more than ever that he was in unknown territory. The fact that these radiant forces traveled as light-like rays distinguished them from the electromagnetic waves of Maxwell. The waves were weak, but these rays were strong. Uncommonly strong Directional effects could obtained by shaping the wire lines which radiated the shocking waves. The condition which best radiated evenly in all directions required that each line be semi-circular, the entire apparatus being circularly disposed. How far did this field extend, and what was the effect of distance on
the intensity of the radiant field? Tesla found it impossible to measure a diminution in radiant force at several hundred yards. In comparison, he recalled that Hertz found it relatively easy to measure notable inverse square diminutions within the confines of his laboratory in Bonn. Tesla suspected that these effects were coherent, not subject to inverse laws other than those due to ray divergence. If he wished to broadcast power to a neighborhood, it would be critical that all radiant energy be focused in receivable directions.

Also, Tesla wished to determine the effect of gradually decreased impulse durations required greatest skill and precaution. Tesla knew that he would be exposing himself to mortal danger. Controlling the rapidity of current blowout in the magnetic DC are, Tesla released a new spectrum of light-like energies throughout his large gallery space. These energetic species were like no other which the world has since seen. Tesla found that impulse duration alone defined the effect of each succinct spectrum. These effects were completely distinctive, endowed with strange additional qualities never purely experienced in Nature. Moreover, Tesla observed distinct color changes in the discharge
space when each impulse range had been reached or crossed. Never before seen discharge colorations did not remain a mystery for long. Trains of impulses, each exceeding 0.1 millisecond duration, produced pain and mechanical pressures. In this radiant field, objects visibly vibrated and even moved as the force field drove them along. Thin wires, exposed to sudden bursts of the radiant field, exploded into vapor. Pain and physical movements ceased when impulses of 100 microseconds or less were produced. These latter features suggested weapon systems of frightful potentials.

With impulses of 1.0 microsecond duration, strong physiological heat was sensed. Further decreases in impulse brought spontaneous illuminations capable of filling rooms and vacuum globes with white light. At these impulse frequencies, Tesla was able to stimulate the appearance of effects which are normally admixed among the electromagnetic energies inherent in sunlight. Shorter impulses produced cool room penetrating breezes, with an accompanying uplift in mood and awareness. There were no limits in this progression toward impulses of diminished duration. None of these impulse energies could be duplicated through the use of high frequency harmonic alternations, those
which Sir Oliver Lodge popularized, and which later was embodied in Marconi Wave Radio. Few could reproduce these effects because so few understood the absolute necessity of observing those parameters set by Tesla. These facts have been elucidated by Eric Dollard, who also successfully obtained the strange and distinct effects claimed by Tesla.

TRANSFORMER

By 1890, after a period of intense experimentation and design development, Tesla summarized the components necessary for the practical deployment of a radiant electrical power distribution system. Tesla had already discovered the wonderful fact that impulse durations of 100 microseconds or less could not be sensed and would do no physiological harm. He planned to use these in his power broadcast. Furthermore, shocking waves of 100 microsecond duration passed through all matter, a fitting form of electrical energy to broadcast throughout the stone, steel, and glass of a power-needy city. Tesla would not expect distortions with specially adjusted energy fields, vectors which permeated matter without interactive effects. Tesla made a most startling discovery the same year, when placing a long single-turn copper helix near his magnetic disrupter. The coil, some two feet in length, did not behave as did solid copper pipes and other objects. The thin-walled coil became ensheathed in an envelope of white sparks, Undulating from the crown of this coil were very long and fluidic silvery white streamers, soft discharges which appeared to have been considerably raised in voltage, These effects were greatly intensified when the helical coil was placed within the disrupter wire circle, Inside this “shockzone”, the helical coil was surrounded in a blast which hugged into its surface, and rode up the coil to its open end, It seemed as though the shockwave actually pulled away from surrounding space to cling to the coil surface, a strange attractive preference. The shockwave flowed over the coil at right angles to the windings, an unbelievable effect. The sheer length of discharges leaping from the helix crown was incomprehensible, With the disrupter discharge jumping I inch in its magnetic housing, the white glimmering discharges rose from the helix to a measured length of over two feet. This discharge equaled the very length of the coil itself. It was an unexpected and unheard transformation.

Here was an action more nearly “electrostatic” in nature, although he knew that academes would not comprehend this term when used in this situation, Electrostatic energy did not fluctuate as did his shockwaves. The explosive shockwave had characteristics unlike any other electrical machine in existence, Yet Tesla stated that the shockwave, during the brief instant in which it made its explosive appearance, more nearly resembled an electrostatic field than any other known electrical manifestation, Just as in electrostatic friction machines, where current and magnetism are negligible, a very energetic field component fills space in radiating lines, This “dielectric” field normally launches through space in a slow growth as charges are gathered. Here was a case where a DC generator provided the high voltage. This voltage charged an
insulated hoop of copper, growing to its maximum value. If all values in the circuit were properly balanced, in the manner prescribed by Tesla, a sudden charge collapse would then occur, This collapse was necessarily very much shorter than the interval required to charge the hoop, The collapse comes when the magnetic disrupter extinguishes the are, If the circuit is properly structured, no backrush alternations ever occur.

This unidirectional succession of charge-discharge impulses causes a very strange field to expand outward, one which vaguely resembles a “stuttering” or “staccato” electrostatic field, But these terms did not satisfactorily describe the conditions actually measured around the apparatus, a powerful radiant effect exceeding all expectable electrostatic values, Actual calculation of these discharge ratios proved impossible, Implementing the standard magneto-inductive transformer rule, Tesla was unable to account for the enormous voltage
multiplication effect. Conventional relationships failing, Tesla hypothesized that the effect was due entirely to radiant transformation rules, obviously requiring empirical determination, Subsequent measurements of discharge lengths and helix attributes provided the necessary new mathematical relationship.

TeslaMoon

He had discovered a new induction law, one where radiant shockwaves actually auto-intensified when encountering segmented objects. The segmentation was the key to releasing the action. Radiant shockwaves encountered an helix and “flashed over” the outer skin, from end to end. This shockwave did not pass through the windings of the coil at all, treating the coil surface as an aerodynamic plane. The shockwave pulse auto-intensified exactly as gas pressures continually increase when passing through Venturi tubes. A consistent increase in electrical pressure was measured along the coil surface. Indeed, Tesla stated that voltages could often be increased at an amazing 10,000 volts
per inch of axial coil surface. This meant that a 24 inch coil could absorb radiant shockwaves which initially measured 10,000 volts, with a subsequent maximum rise to 240,000 volts! Such transformations of voltage were unheard with apparatus of this volume and simplicity. Tesla further discovered that the output voltages were mathematically related to the resistance of turns in the helix. Higher resistance meant higher voltage maxima.

He began referring to his disrupter line as his special “primary”, and to the helical coil placed within the shockzone, as his special  “secondary”. But he never intended anyone to equate these terms with those referring to magnetoelectric transformers. This discovery was indeed completely different from magneto-induction. There was a real and measurable reason why he could make this outlandish statement There was an attribute which completely baffled Tesla for a time. Tesla measured a zero current condition in these long copper secondary coils. He determined that the current which should have appeared was completely absent. Pure voltage was rising with each inch of coil surface. Tesla constantly referred to his “electrostatic induction laws”, a principle which few comprehended. Tesla called the combined disrupter and secondary helix a “Transformer”.

Tesla Transformers are not magnetoelectric devices, they use radiant shockwaves, and produce pure voltage without current. No university High Frequency Coil must ever be called a “Tesla Coil”, since the devices usually employed in demonstration halls are the direct result of apparatus perfected by Sir Oliver Lodge and not by Nikola Tesla. The Tesla Transformer is an impulse apparatus, and cannot be as easily constructed except by strict conformity with parameters which Tesla enunciated. Tesla Transformers produce extraordinary white impulse discharges of extreme length and pressure, which exceed the alternating violet spark displays of Lodge Coils. This is illustrated by noting the manner in which Tesla Transformers are actually constructed. While looking and seeming the same, each system actually performs very different functions. Lodge Coils are alternators. Tesla Transformers are unidirectional impulses.

The most efficient Tesla Transformations were obtained only when the disruptive radiating wire line equaled the mass of the helical coil. The empirical determination proved that a mysterious and Simple mass-to-mass correspondence necessarily existed between the disrupter apparatus and the secondary coil. Tesla learned that a simple balance beam could be used to best design his Transformers. Metal line or thick metal strapping would be cut and placed on one side of the balance. Thin copper wire would be unwound from a spool and hung on the other balance beam end. When the balance was even, when the masses were identical, Tesla cut the thin wire. Transformers made in this
mass-to-mass ratio consistently provided the most powerful transformations. Each Transformer conducted a specific impulse duration with special force. Therefore each had to be “tuned” by adjusting the disrupter to that specific impulse duration. Adjustments of arc distance provided this control factor. Once each transformer was tuned to its own special response rate, impulses could flow smoothly through the system like gas flowing in a pipe. Finding that gas-dynamic analogies and applications indeed provided him with a consistent record of successful assessments in these regards, Tesla began considering whether or not the white flame discharges, so different from anything he had ever seen, might not be a gaseous manifestation of electrostatic force. There were certainly abundant experimental instances in which a
purely gaseous nature, so unlike anything electrical, was being clearly made manifest. The manner in which the radiant shockwave traveled over the wire callings in white flimmering laminar streams, brought a new revolution in thought. Voltage pulses traversed the secondary surface like a gas pulse under increasing constriction, Until reaching the free end of the coil, these gaseous pulses flowed over the copper surface rather than through it. Tesla referred to this specific manifestation as the “skin effect”. In this the discharge greatly resembled the manner of gases in motion over surfaces.

Furthermore, whenever a metal point was connected to the upper terminal of one of his Transformers, the stream became more directive. It behaved just like a stream of water in a pipe. When the white flimmering stream was directed at distant metal plates, it produced electronic charges. This charge production could be measured as amperage, “current”, at the reception site. In transit however, no such amperage existed. Amperage appeared only when intercepted. Eric Dollard has stated that the space surrounding Tesla Impulse Transformers so surges with these streams that the “interception current” can reach several hundred or even thousands of amperes. But of what was this mysterious stream composed? Tesla struggled with the doubt that these discharge phenomena might be ordinary electricity behaving in extraordinary
ways. But did electricity indeed have a smooth, soft, and fllmmering nature? The electricity with which he was familiar was shocking, hot, burning, deadly, piercing, stinging, alI the attributes of an irritant. But this discharge phenomenon was, whether cool or warm to the touch, soft and gentle. It would not kill. Even the manner in which the pulse exploded as bright white discharges of greatly transformed voltage, suggested the way in which gases behave when released from their confinements under pressure. These reflective meditations convinced Tesla that this effect was not purely electrical in nature. Closely examining the white flames, Tesla realized why there was no measurable “electrical current” at the crown of these activated coils. The normal heavy charge carriers, electrons, could not travel as quickly as the radiant pulse itself. Choked in the metallic lattice of the coil, electrons became immobile. No electron current moved through the coil at all. The radiant pulse which moved over the coil surface, was therefore not electronic in nature.

Additionally, Tesla discovered an amazing phenomenon which removed all doubt concerning the true nature of energetic carriers at work in his apparatus. Tesla arranged a very heavy a U-shaped copper bus-bar, connecting both legs directly to his disrupter primary. Across the legs of this U-shaped busbar were placed several incandescent lamps. The arrangement was a very evident short circuit. The lamps were illuminated to a brilliant cold white light, while being shorted by a heavy copper shunt. Uncharacteristic of particulate current electricity, the bright but cold lamps revealed that another energetic current was indeed flowing through the “short-circuits”. Those who observed this experiment did not expected it to perform any function save the incineration of the disrupter circuit and possibly of the dynamo itself. Instead of this, witnesses beheld a marvel. The lamps lit to an uncommon brightness. In this Simple demonstration, Tesla was illustrating
but one of his many evidences. Electronic charges would prefer the least resistant circuit, rejecting the incandescent bulbs for the copper path. The current in this situation chose to conform with a contradictory principle. Perhaps this was true because the currents were not electrical. Tesla repeatedly used this demonstration to evidence the “fractionation” of currents electronic, from currents neutral.

LUMINIFEROUS ETHER

A Single question remained, the answer to which would provide him with the essential information needed to create a new technology. What so separated or “fractioned” the diverse mobile carriers in his Transformer? It was the geometric configuration of the coil which inadvertently separated each component. Electrons were blocked from flowing through the wire length, while the radiant pulse was released over the coil surface as a gaseous pulse. Electrons should have drifted through the wire but, during each impulse period, were blocked by the line resistance. Thus, the gaseous mobile carriers were released to flow outside the wire, a pulse which traveled along the outer coil surface from end to end.

Here then was evidence that electrical discharges were indeed composed of several simultaneous mobile species. Tesla now comprehended why his first high frequency alternating currents never evidenced these powerful actions. It was the abruptness, the violence of the impulsive discharge, which gave free mobility to this unsuspected “gaseous” component Impulses, unidirectional impulses, were the only means by which these potentials could be unlocked. Alternations were absolutely useless in this regard. Moreover, because alternations could not unleash the second gas-dynamic component, it remained an unusable and pitifully weak means. Tesla forever viewed his high frequency
alternating devices as failed projects. This has great bearing on his highly critical views of Marconi and all the others like him who pursued high frequency alternating wave radio. Tesla began to study a topic which has found more enemies and critics than any this century. Tesla, with greatest interest now, began researching “the aether”.

Victorian Science came to believe that space, all of space, was absolutely permeated with an ultrafine gas which they termed “aether”, It was in this gaseous atmosphere that light was said to be transmitted through space. In fact, space was not viewed as a pure vacuum, aether filled that vacuum. Some Victorians stated that the aether could, at times, be visibly seen. The golden haze which often fills spaces within buildings were said to be manifestations of aether gas. These displays could be seen in conditions of minimal humidity and in the absence of aerial dust. Others mentioned the colorations often seen with the eyes opened, in a dark room or against a ganzfeld, as evidence of aetheric luminations (Reichenbach). In order to satisfy all of the physical dynamics which eventually became attached to the concept, aether gas acquired several mutually contradictory attributes.

Lodge stated that aether gas necessarily existed in a density comparable to at of steel, yet behaved as a fluid. ,Ether gas was also capable of passing through most substances, a permeating substance having no terrestrial equal. When an experiment designed to measure “aether drift” with light beam interferometry failed, most repudiated the existence of this gaseous space filling atmosphere altogether. Just before this moment in science history however, a wonderful theoretical abstract was published explaining the reality of the aether in chemical terms. If not for the author and his credibility, few would appreciate the import of his assertions.

A comprehensive analysis of these contradictory attributes was engaged by Professor Dmitri Mendeleev, “father” of the Periodic Table. Just before the turn of the Century, Dr. Mendeleev produced a wonderful theoretical view which elegantly satisfied each of the reigning contradictions of his day. His work was published years later in a small booklet entitled” A Chemical Conception of The Ether” (1904). Herein, he treated the aether gas as an interstellar atmosphere composed of at least two lighter-than-hydrogen elements. These were produced by violent bombardments in stars, the sun being the most prolific neighboring source. According to Dr. Mendeleev, aether gas was an
atmosphere probably composed of several different elemental species. He anticipated that the two gases would be found. Although these pre-hydrogen elements remained yet unknown, Mendeleev placed them in his Periodic Table just as he did when composing the Table in 1869.

These gases were placed in a special “zero group” preceding the Noble gases. The inertness of these aether gases explained their elusive “non-reactive” character. The nearly massless state of these different aetheric gases explained their ability both to permeate all matter without chemically interacting with it, and the high apparent density of aether. The lightest and first aether gas was assigned a theoretical atomic weight one hundred millionth that of hydrogen. The kinetic velocity of this first gas was calculated at 2.5 million meters per second. Such a highly mobile and vanishing aetheric mass could be rarefied and yet “appear” extremely dense. Dr. Mendeleev fully anticipated that these gaseous elements would someday be found through extraordinary apparatus. Others felt that, in this physical analysis, Dr. Mendeleev had not glimpsed the real aether at all. Many Victorian claimed that aether was extremely dense, like a flood of matter which could be felt as a pressure and seen as a multicolored radiance. Tesla ascribed to both of these views.

Tesla applied these principles in explaining the actions so visibly at work in his newest apparatus. Macroscopically, radiant shockwaves behaved as a gaseous impulse having electrical characteristics. This was no ordinary gas however. This “gaseous” component was not atmospheric in the ordinary sense. It was not the result of adsorbed gases on the copper coil surface. This gas pulse traveled over the coil surfaces with super-luminal velocity. Mr. Dollard utilized line interferometry to measure and compare both components in a real Tesla Impulse Transformer, and has proven the vast velocity differences between both. Moreover, the mysterious surface-riding component was found to travel at a super-luminal velocity. Those experimental measurement successfully vindicated the claim of Tesla in this regards in 1985. When referring to these discharges and their strange attributes and effects, Tesla always used gas dynamic terms and gas-dynamic analogues. Throughout his use of such terminology, Tesla was inferring that something unlike normal electricity was flowing through short electrical impulses. That something was indeed behaving like a gas. The gas-dynamic components which rode the outer coil surface required aerodynamically smooth surfaces.

Tesla came to believe that dielectric fields were actually composed of aether streams. Theoretically then, one could derive limitless energy by trapping and conducting a naturally occurring dielectric field line. The problem was that no ordinarily accessible material could resist the aether enough to derive any momentum from it With a stream so rare as to pass through all known materials, the kinetic energy inherent in dielectric field lines would remain an elusive energy source. Tesla believed he may have found the secret to tapping this energy, but it would not require an ordinary kind of matter. Tesla viewed voltage as streams of aether under various states of pressure. Raising these stresses could produce enormous aether streams, where the observed voltages would then be extremely high and luminous. This was the very condition which Tesla had come to believe had been established in his Transformers. In fact, Tesla repeatedly stated that his Transformers effected powerful movements in the aether. In one truly mystifying experiment indicative of these comprehension, Tesla describes the production of very rapid impulse trains with a subsequent production of “cool misty white streamers extending a yard into space”. These were cool to the touch, and harmless. If electrical in nature, they would necessarily have been several million volts in potentials. Their
harmlessness is coupled with their sinuous nature, one completely unlike electrical currents. Michael Theroux successfully duplicated Teslian experiments with an apparatus whose secondary was no more than 2 feet in length, with a width of 1 fool. When charged with a powerful electrostatic disruptive device of his own design and construction, Mr. Theroux succeeded in producing fluidic white streamers, sometimes exceeding 12 feet in length! These streamers continually grew in size, reaching the far wall of a cellar laboratory. Sinuous in their twisting manner, he reports that the ends of these branched with lobate ends, an unlikely characteristic for ordinary electricity. Contrasted against
the discharges produced by Wimhurst Machines and other Electrostatic devices alone, these white and highly vibrant displays lacked the blue and stark jaggedness commonly associated with sparks termed “electric”. In the light of experimental achievements such as these, and their attendant phenomena, we are required to review our theoretical base and reassess our most fundamental conventions.

Indeed, to understand Tesla Technology one must eliminate the notion that electrons are the “working fluid” in his radiant energy designs. With the lower coil end connected directly to the dynamo, high voltage aether streamers were projected from the upper terminal. When describing each of his relevant patents in this new technology, Tesla forever spoke of “light-like rays” and “the natural medium”. The first term refers to the tightly constricted aether streams which are propelled from his Transformers along infinmitesimal ray lines, and the latter refers to the all-pervading aether atmosphere in which his technology operated.

Tesla now understood why the coloration of discharges varied so with various impulse durations. Each gas of the aetheric atmosphere was being stimulated to luminescence. Tesla repeatedly produced discharge colorations which had no equivalent in the common gas spectra prevalent in the terrestrial atmosphere. Colors of blood-red, and sky blue, of peach, and white were each described in detail by Nikola Tesla. Although sharing certain characteristics with electricity, aetheric energy was a totally different expression. Aetheric energy held a potential which more nearly matched the expectations of those who dream and wish, a mystery realm. Tesla perceived this kinship between thought and aetheric energy with keenest intrigue, already planning the several necessary investigations before approaching this potential psychotronic technology. He often exposed himself to the very shortest of aether impulse radiance, discovering the mind-elevating effects grew with lime. Etheric energy demonstrated growth characteristics which Tesla noted with amazement. It is impossible to comprehend Teslian Technology apart from the controversial topic concerning the aether. Many analysts will reject the concept without first seeking out and discovering the proofs which have been established by experimenters such as Eric Dollard. Nevertheless, the overwhelming evidence
proves that Tesla had indeed been first to identify the gases which Dr. Mendeleev had so long predicted. Tesla addressed the notion that aether streams were being pulled through his Transformers, drawn in at higher natural pressure, and accelerated in the sharp electrical discharge. As electrical systems, Tesla apparatus cannot completely be understood or explained. One must view Teslian Technology as an eether gas technology, one capable of being explained only through gas-dynamic analogues.

It was now easy to understand how such projected rays, aether gas streams under high pressure, could penetrate metals and insulators alike. These powerful rays often could penetrate certain materials with inexplicable efficiency. Electricity did not perform these wonders. Tesla also now understood why these discharge streams produced their smoothly hissing sounds, visibly appearing like gas jets under high pressure. Aether gas under pressure. But what of the other characteristics of this gaseous component? Here was a new world of forces and dynamics vaguely glimpsed by researchers such as Luigi Galvani who, in order to release the more vitalizing components observed in metals which were aerially disposed or grounded, persistently sought the elimination of electronic charge. Tesla was completely mystified. He had successfully released the mystery current, normally suppressed and bound in electronic charge carriers. Unidirectional impulsive discharges of high voltage and abrupt durations released them. What other potentials would aether gas technology release?

BROADCAST POWER

The original cylindrical coils were quickly replaced with cone shaped coils. With these bizarre geometries, Tesla was able to focus the gas-dynamic component, which now rose up like a jet of hissing white light from the coil tip. Tesla recognized that these discharges, while spectacular and awe inspiring, actually represented lost power. A power broadcast station had to evenly disperse the energetic radiance in all directions. Flame-like discharges caused the available power to undulate in space. This would produce unpredictable power drops at great distances. Consumers would not receive a reliable and consistent stream of energy. If his Power Transformer was to operate with highest
broadcast efficiency, these flame-like discharges necessarily had to be suppressed. But suppressing these excessive aether jets proved problematic.

Tesla found that the white flimmering streams were absorbed in large capacity volumes, masses in which the streams were absorbed, filtered, and expelled. The use of copper spheres atop his Transformers forced the streams sufficiently apart to suppress the white flame. Power was now evenly dispersed throughout space as required. But a new problem appeared. The copper spheres, being impacted by the high voltage streams which they were forced to now conduct, expelled electronic components. These appeared along with the radiance, producing truly dangerous conditions. The problem was stimulated by conduction, a case where the spherical copper ball was impacted throughout
its volume. The white flimmering streams permeated the copper and expelled electrons. These contaminants concentrated their escape from the system as harmful, blue stinging dartlets. By comparison, the white flame-like discharge was a smooth and harmless glow.

Comparing the two species, Tesla recognized the difference in charge carriers. Tesla was once nearly killed when one such dartlet jumped three feet through the air and struck him directly over the heart. The copper spheres had to be removed and replaced by another dispersion component. Metals were apparently of no utility in this case, being natural reservoirs of electrons. Tesla eventually suggested that metals manufactured electrons when impacted with these special flame-white currents, the carriers in the white flames becoming concentrated within the metallic lattice. This concept was later developed into an amazing theory by Tesla, one which thoroughly explains natural radioactivity as the result of impact.

While developing new lamps for his power system, Tesla discovered that gas-filled globes could provide more efficient suppression capacity for flaring aether streams, and promptly directed that his transformers be surmounted with such globes. The absence of metal mass eliminated the possibility that aether impulses could impact the metal lattice and expel electronic charges. These gas-globe terminals dispersed only the pure aetheric stream, a perfect solution for his original dilemma. Tesla now found himself in possession of components necessary to establishing his Power Broadcast System on a commercial basis.

He had already observed how the very air near these Transformers could be rendered strangely self-luminous. This was a light like no high frequency coil ever could produce, a corona of white brilliance which expanded to ever enlarging diameters. The light from Tesla Transformers continually expands. Tesla described the growing column of light which surrounds any elevated line which has been connected to his Transformers. Unlike common high frequency alternations, Tesla radiant energy effects grow with time. Tesla recognized the reason for this temporal growth process. There were no reversals in the source discharges. therefore the radiant energy would never remove the
work performed on any space or material so exposed. N; with the unidirectional impulse discharges, the radiant electric effects were additive and accumulative. In this respect, Tesla observed energy magnifications which seemed totally anomalous to ordinary engineering convention.

It was easy to control the brilliance of a room by controlling the voltage in his transformers. The light from this sort of illumination was curiously bright to human perception, but nearly impossible to photograph on film. Tesla found it necessary to make long time exposures of his discharges before the faintest sort of streamers could be made visible. This strange inability to register photographically was contrasted against the brilliance perceived in the eyes, one which required delicate control. Tesla also designed, built, and utilized large globe lamps which required only a Single external plate for receiving the radiant energies. However distantly placed from the radiant source, these lamps
became brilliantly illuminated. Theirs was a brilliance approaching that of an arc lamp, and exceeding any of the conventional Edison filament lamps by several factors. It was also easy for Tesla to control the heat of any space. By controlling both the voltage and impulse duration of energy in his Transformers, Tesla could heat up a room. Cool breezes could also be arranged by appropriately setting the impulse duration.

Tesla was amazed by the fact that mass ratios governed the efficient operation of his aether Transformers. The wonderful fact that mass ratios provided the most efficient transaction of broadcast energy was the mystifying reminder that these energies were not electrical. No electrical law existed in just such a bizarre format, not even when describing inductions between high frequency alternators. The original gas-dynamic implication inherent in this strange ratio requirement was confirmed. Now Tesla designed receiving apparatus for his future consumers. The mass of home receiving coils had to match the equivalent mass of the central transmitting coils of the broadcast center. Tesla matched
coils and capacitors to produce this equivalent mass ratio, satisfying the natural requirements of the aetheric radiance. An elevated ball-like terminal would receive the broadcast energy, conveying it down into a central home-distribution apparatus. Here, the aetheric energy would be rebroadcast throughout the household without wires. Appliances could Simply be moved to where they were needed, and turned on. Nothing could be more simple.

While Tesla’s models were made with technological objectives in mind, he was not without an appreciation of fine art and the beauty of artistic elegance. In certain respects, Tesla’s tastes were extravagant, a luxury which he could certainly yet afford. He was certain that each component of his system would be redesigned by artists and made more appealing for the consumer. The “look” of these appliances carried with them an aire of the future. In fact, Tesla invented an astounding collection of futuristic-looking appliances. Motors now appeared in an amazing variety, requiring no wire connections, save the small metal plates held on opposite ends of the motor housing, Placed in any position, the motors powerfully spun when the radiant field was on. Here was motive energy for home and industry alike.

Tesla performed outdoor experimental tests of broadcast power in the northernmost reaches of Manhattan by night. Sending metallized balloons aloft, he raised conductive lines. These were connected to the terminals of his Transformers, and activated. When properly adjusted, the white luminous columns began covering the vertical aerial line and expanded by the second. Enveloping Tesla, his assistants, and the surrounding trees, this strange white luminosity moved out into the countryside to an enormous volume of space. Tesla described this phenomenon in several of his power transmission patents, the obvious artifact of a non-electrical energy. His Transformer was now behaving
as originally visualized. Now it was a true Transmitter, a Transmitter of aetheric energy. Appliances were disposed at various distances from this temporary central broadcast station on the meadows, absorbing energy from the aetheric radiance and performing to full efficiency. Lamps brilliant, motors humming, heaters radiating. The small radiant system worked with a rare power. More highly energetic, exceeding the mobility of ionic charges, and overpowering any field inductions by several thousand orders, only aetheric energy could have accomplished this feat. Tesla had all of the components now. Broadcast power, once a visionary dream, had become a working system. There
appeared to be no limit to the potential of this technological marvel. Tesla discovered a fact which later developed into a later regime of thought. He found to his amazement that Single connections from impulse transmitter to ground produced greatly intensified responses in his distant appliances. This principle was applied to the appliances as well, resulting in an unprecedented increase in their overall performance. The single ground connection suddenly produced new and anomalous efficiencies in the system, an extraordinary excess
of energy which his impulse transmitter was providing. Tesla was familiar with the natural growth process of aetheric streams, but why would ground connections so magnify the brilliance of lamps and the output of motors in this way?

This observation stimulated perplexing thoughts. How was aetheric energy, a supposed aerial dynamic, tunneling through the ground? Why were the magnification effects noticed when his appliances were ground connected? What self-magnifying capabilities were possibly stimulated when operating in conjunction with the ground connection? Was the earth itself a vast reservoir of aether gas? Furthermore, in what condition was this gas. was it under pressure? The phenomenon stimulated a revolution in his mind. For in this, Tesla perceived an unexpected power source.

AETHERIC CURRENT

The key to producing all aetheric action was to secure a means for actually effecting aetheric deviations, the very thing now possessed by Tesla alone. Sir Oliver Lodge stated that the only means for “getting at the aether” was “an electrical means”, but not one member of the Royal Society had been able to achieve this feat with the rare exception of Sir William Crookes. The Tesla method used aether to modify aether! The secret was separating the contaminants from the aether current at the very source of generation, a feat which he
had achieved in his Transformers. But how? How, with the apparatus made available to him through his creative abilities, did he achieve what military groups today cannot?

Tesla used the violence of magnetically disrupted arc discharges to chaoticize electronic and aetheric carriers in metal conductors. Breaking the agglomerations which bind them together, each component was free to separate. This condition could not be achieved in arc discharges where currents were allowed to alternate. In such apparatus, the electronic carriers overwhelmed the release of aether and, while aether was present in the discharge, could never be separated from the composite current. This is the fundamental reason why experimenters in England could never reproduce these effects, finally concluding that Tesla was “paraphrasing physical reality”. Typically understated, the prevailing attitude toward Tesla found its real source in an inability among researchers to truly comprehend the elegance of what had been discovered.
Thus, although shown these things in repeated demonstrations by Tesla himself, the inability which prevailed among these highly esteemed personages revealed the real source of error.

The Tesla method began with the “disruptive discharge”. This disruptive discharge was more like an explosive charge, a blast whose effects lasted for a controllable time increment. Successions of these blasts were possible only when sufficient disruption was maintained. The Tesla magnetic arc disrupter was the chief tool of this process, a heavy duty discharge device which yet finds its use in military power applications. This gap could be adjusted, and was held apart at a distance of several inches. The large polished spheres were often made of steel. Other models featured heavy curved horns, often bimetallic. With one made of carbon and the other of copper, the bimetallic combination
maintained a rectified condition in the applied current. This effectively blocked any possible backrush possibly induced by the capacitor discharge. Tesla Originally used atmospheric pressure to resist the instantaneous formation of arcs across the heavy gap space of this component. He later experimented with various high pressures and different gases. Each experiment provided new and unexpected disruption effects.

Victorian researchers such as Sir John Rayleigh discovered the truly strange behavior of nitrogen gas when electrified. Tubes filled with nitrogen retained their electrified state for a long time after the current source had been removed. Glowing with a strange peach colored light, many wondered whether this might not be a natural aetheric process in action. Tesla investigated nitrogen gas as an atmosphere for his disrupter because it seemed to contain an essential secret. Perhaps it would release a more uncontaminated aetheric current for his primaries. The extraordinary efficiency of the magnetic arc disrupter in developing aetheric currents derived from several principles. Tesla
saw that electrical current was really a complex combination of aether and electrons. When electricity was applied to the disrupter a primary fractioning process took place. Electrons were forcibly expelled from the gap by the strong magnetic influence. The aether streams, neutral in charge, remained flowing through the circuit however. The magnetic disrupter was his primary means for fractionaling the electrons from the aether particles. In his later developments, Tesla described arc radiopower devices which employed pure nitrogen plasmas. Electrified with the power of a high voltage DC generator, these magnetic ducted devices fired explosive blasts of nitrogen plasma To this day, no vacuum tube radiogenerator can ever approach the pure power obtained through such high powered nitrogen arc disrupters. Applying this kind of “blast” to circuitry produced a host of unexpected effects. When the blast was applied to thick copper strapping, stray electrons were
apparently thrust out of the current flow. These plasma blasts often leaped up to a height of twenty feet, a violent and totally unexpected response. In some cases this disrupter produced blue-white lightning like discharges, an action which proved the expulsion of electronic currents from the primary circuit (Lehr). Yet, within the gap could be seen a dense stream of whitefire; a stream of purified aether gas.

There was a reason why nitrogen worked best in this capacity. It was an electron “absorber”. Electronic charge was best absorbed and carried out of the current when nitrogen gas was employed. Magnetic thrusting drove the electronic charge away, the cause of bluish lightning-like bolts, Copper produced far too much electronic charge, the discharges difficult to restrain. There had to be a material which would pass aether without adding electrons through bombardment. Tesla found that the use of carbon was well-suited to this purpose. Carbon proved to have the greatest effect in maintaining a purified aether state in the “cleansed” streams. Tesla replaced all the copper with carbon,
finding that the unmanageable lightning bolts were substantially reduced in size. This potent device utilized two large ball-shaped carbon electrodes which were highly polished (Lehr).

Magnetically cleansed of their accompanying electron populations, Tesla began to discover the phenomena accompanying aetheric currents. Here was renewed evidence that electrical current was indeed a complex mixture of particles. Once a well expressed and well endorsed theory, the notion of current as a complex combination of streaming particles, was not limited to electrons. In fact, no one knew exactly what electrical carriers were. In this lack of definition, many anomalous such discoveries ensued; a study absolutely required for those who would claim to be qualitative researchers. Furthermore, this view explained all “action at a distance”. The “tension” in space between electrostatically charged objects was viewed as a literal streaming flow of aether particles from positive to negative. The static charges themselves were thought to be “constrictions” through which space flowing aether could be automatically directed. Electrostatic charge was equated with aether pressures. Electrostatic fields were viewed as rectified streams of aether. The “dielectric field”, the “dielectricity” of which so many now speak, was once held to be a streaming of aether particles among charged bodies. But no one knew how to release that aether stream from the adhesive electron sheaths in which aether remained naturally imprisoned. Luigi Galvani had intimated the “atmosphere” or “aura” of metals when, in 1620, he found that large metal plates could exert powerfully penetrating effects on the heart and respiration, as well as induce sleep or Vitality.These effects were greatly magnified when grounded or elevated above ground. In these early discoveries, there remained new mysteries.

Being that aether streams flowed do powerfully between strong electrostatic charges, some posited the possibility of deriving energy from the flow. All attempts however at interrupting and sufficiently resisting such directed streams proved hopeless. Aether was very obviously able to be stopped by no natural material! Tesla began to believe that it was only the lack of appropriate materials and systems which prevented the pure use of this momentum stream; a puzzle which baffled Dr. Joseph Henry and Michael Faraday. Because their available materials, metals, were capable only of operating on the more gross electrons, technology had been shaped and limited.

Magneto-induction was the result of limits imposed by existing technology. Magneto-induction used electrons and not aether to effect force exchanges. Because electrons were not ultimate particles, not the ultimate particles generated in Nature, they could not supply an endless source of momentum. These induction devices had to be moved to produce motion! Tesla already saw the directions in which his technology could move. The elimination of electrons from aether currents already provided him with uncommon activities. Uncommon at least from the standpoint of pure “electric” or “electrical” phenomena, here were effects which could find no resolution in electrical science. This was
aether physics, the foundation of an unknown and unexplored realm. Tesla knew that the resultant technology from this realm would change the world in more ways than even he could yet realize.

New and more powerful expressions of this aetheric streaming action were produced in his nitrogen supplied magnetic disrupter. The abrupt high voltage discharge applied by his dynamo managed to first expand the electron-constricted aether streams beyond their normal cross-section. The nascent electrons were made to pass in a burst through a magnetic field, to which they powerfully responded. Aether is neutral. Tesla saw that electrical currents were actually streams of aether and its surrounding “twist” of electrons. In this regards, the chief attribute of nitrogen in the magnetic disrupter seemed to be the absorption and removal of electrons from the stream. It was obvious that this system effectively and forcefully separated electrons from the neutral aether particles inherent in the dynamo-supplied current. Once the aether stream had been cleared of its too constricting electronic envelope, it could flow freely. The current remaining in the disrupter was a purified aetheric stream. It was this stream which was visible, flowing a bright silver-white light between the electrodes. This stream continued flowing through the thick copper strap. Bursts of aether were thus applied to any object within the copper strap, an exposure which produced uncommon effects. Tesla sought the elimination of copper from his transformers. Tesla designed a hollow tubular glass Transformer which
was to utilize a special gas medium in place of the copper wire. Tesla believed that this design would produce the most purified Aetheric streams imaginable. The elimination of copper would prevent any subsequent electronic manufacture capable of contaminating his magnetically purified aether streams. It is in fact probable that he did experiment with these designs.

The magnetic nitrogen gas disrupter was developed well beyond even this stage. Until well into the 1930’s, Tesla continued to speak of the device capable of producing intense rays. It was an open ended tube, one which surrounded an electrified terminal with a streaming jet of “suitable fluid”. Through such means, Tesla claimed the release of collimated rays having “transcendent intensity”. Tesla therefore appropriated means by which electrons were eliminated from currents, while aetheric components were accelerated and released.
Tesla was no longer working with “electricity”. Tesla worked with aether currents. New and startling effects could be obtained when once the separation process, the fractioning process, had been engaged. Tesla found that aether streams, though harmless to the body, were often devastating for more metallic things. Passage through various kinds of matter always produced new and strange effects. To illustrate the fact that these currents were not electrical, not some new manifestation of electronic current, Tesla often publicly performed a very strange demonstration. He grasped the upper terminal of one of his large Transformers with one hand, while in the other hand holding a thick metal bar. Aether current flowed through carbonaceous and watery media without harm. Nevertheless, Tesla dramatically proved the strange bombarding power of these non-electronic currents as the metal in his hand either melted or exploded. The reaction of materials was entirely due to the bombardment effect of aether on the matter. But matter alone was not the only variable which could effect new aetheric phenomena. Geometries also shaped the phenomena.

Highly segmented geometries fractioned electronic charge from aether by resisting and blocking the electrons normally constrained to move through the wire length. Blocked by the high resistant because of impulsive applications of current, aether was free to surge over the segments fluidically. Tesla now saw that the ability of aether to pass over segmented metallic surfaces, such as his helical and spiral Transformers, was only a fortuitous attribute. It was accidental that he observed this phenomenon at all. But Tesla found numerous other
attributes of this energetic stream, attributes which manifested themselves only when aether interacted with certain materials and laboratory components. All important to these responses of aether, among the symmetries of metals and insulators, was the impulse duration applied in generating the stream. It was the brevity of each impulse in the projected train which stimulated each response. Aetheric streams could be projected in extremely parallel paths by solid sheets of polished metal. Concave mirrors focused the streams. Cone shaped hoods focused the streams. Placing gas filled spheres in copper cylinders produced potent and directed rays. Tesla investigated the various aspects of rays
which his transmitters now projected with great interest. His radiant system was like no other. This projective radiance bore all the characteristics of light, yet was invisible. Tesla called these manifestations “dark rays” and “dark light”. He found that they could be reflected when both their impulse rate was a specific interval, and when appropriate metal surfaces were intercepted. Tesla observed that  shadowgraphs could be made by his beam projectors when intercepted by photographic films. He accidentally discovered the effect while using light from his beam projectors to photograph himself and several friends. The developed image was one which revealed far more than the portrait itself. Tesla found that “dark rays” could pass through walls, producing images on fluorescent screens. The effects were not X-Rays, being reflected from thick metal walls. With the Simple first such projectors, Nikola Tesla found it possible to wirelessly illuminate lamps at great distances, push objects, charge objects, and bum holes through objects. In short, any amount of power
could be delivered along the beam ray channels.

In this we glimpse subatomic particle streams not completely electronic in nature. The abrupt disruption of current stimulates an energetic release, the result of violence done to matter. Tesla found it possible to focus and beam these rays, effects which many have sought to reproduce. But despite the repeated failure of academes and well-intentioned experimenters to reproduce these effects, one individual dominates the scene. In these most important demonstrations, vindications of Teslian Technology, it must be mentioned that Eric Dollard successfully reproduced several of these effects and made the results available in a series of videocassettes. In these, Mr. Dollard demonstrates the charging of capacitors by the radiant emission of impulse-supplied vacuum lamps. This charging action occurred across a small space between the side of these lamps and the blunt face of a high voltage capacitor. This anomalous feat was also followed by a remarkable demonstration of mass repulsion, and another of mass-attraction. In addition, while using gaseous projector tubes as Tesla prescribes, Mr. Dollard demonstrated the transmission of pulsating aether across the laboratory, with the subsequent absorption
and conversion of the same into a measurable current.

Tesla discussed the possibility of beaming energy directly into the night sky, causing the very air to fluoresce. In such discussions, he suggested that night illumination of the sky could be used by ocean going vessels as a feature of safety. In connection with these topics, he stimulated much exciting thought on the notion that energy could be obtained from the sky, once a “world system” of beamray transmitters was established. No doubt, those whose fortunes relied on fuel and powerlines did not appreciate these candid talks. It was well appreciated that Tesla could achieve the seemingly impossible things of which he so openly spoke.

RADIANT ENERGY

All of these empirical discoveries brought Tesla into the fascinating examination of aether stream behavior in matter in 1891. Aether behaved in strange ways when forced to tunnel through metals, gases, stone, glasses, jewels. In its fundamental principles, Teslian Technology involves impact and force exchange. In methodic succession, Tesla found which metals and organic substances aetheric streams penetrate without resistance. He also determined which materials offered considerable resistance to the streams, a valuable piece of information. The fact that aether streams could be substantially deformed in passing through certain such materials indicated the degree to which such materials were internally arranged. When aether streams were compelled to flow through given metals, usually good electrical conductors such as silver
and copper, the particulate impacts released new species. These often appeared as darting sparks of various colorations, contaminating the pure aetheric flow. Aether particles were extremely mobile, virtually massless when compared with electrons, and could therefore pass through matter with very little effort. Electrons could not “keep up” with either the velocity or the permeability of aetheric particles. According to this view, aether particles were infinitesimals, very much smaller than electrons themselves.

qR6MM.jpg

The aetheric carriers contained momentum. Their extreme velocity matched their nearly massless nature, the product of both becoming a sizable quantity. They moved with superluminal velocity, a result of their incompressible and massless nature. Whenever a directed radiant matter impulse begins from some point in space, an incompressible movement occurs instantly through space to all points along that path. Such movement occurs as a solid ray, an action defying modern considerations of Signal retardations in space. Incompressible raylines can move through any distance instantly. Should the path be 300,001 kilometers long, the impulse at the source end will each that point as quickly as at all other points. This is superluminal velocity. Radiant matter behaved incompressibly. In effect, this stream of radiant matter, virtually massless and hydrodynamically incompressible, was a pure energy! Radiant Energy. In addition to this inherent momentum, aether streams would actually interact with matter only with the proper conductive materials were stressed with the proper impulse intervals. This understanding provided an essential clue to the real nature of matter and energy, a foundation which was empirically pioneered by Tesla and theoretically developed by Dr. Gustav Le Bon. The interchange of energy into matter and matter into energy presupposed a fundamental
“matenum”. Victorians considered the aetheric gases to be this materium. One could theoretically pass a concentrated aether stream through any material and produce new elements and energetic emanations. These transitions occurred as a continuum which lacked any fixed  “stations” of mass or of energy. For Victorians, the progressive passage from matter into energy or from energy to matter did not occur in fixed “quanta”. Tesla had the first experimental evidence that this was indeed possible. His statements concerning material generation and transmutation were perceived as ravings.

Opinions be damned. Superior technology affords a very few researchers with access to deeper than conventional realities. Nature reveals levels which form the infrastructure to things observable through available scientific means. Deeper infrastructures require a succession of superior technologies, the gantries of Nature being thus reveled to equipped human explorers. Regardless of opinion, Tesla found all to numerous facts which later contradicted the emerging science of quantum physics, Despite its promoted openness to skeptical analysis, academic science has always demonstrated its unfortunate tendency to universalize every theory which offers some explanation for a part of natural phenomena. In this we perceive an essential and knowledge-devastating flaw. Enlarging the microscopic issues to encompass the whole is worse than a tragic myopic lapse. In the bold face of plenliferous natural contradictions, it is laughable evidence of stubborn pride at academic levels supposedly incapable of exercising such base human sentiments. All too flawed and all too human. Be sure of this, Nature cannot be codified in the simplistic dynamics of moving matter and energetic exchanges. Nature is far more integrated and articulate,
endowed with potentials not now thought scientific.

Indeed in the aetheric continuum, there are none of the graphic details concerning quanta. There are no structured levels, no quanta, in which aetheric energy is constrained. Quantum physics applies to a very specific realm of energetic transactions, one whose properties are entirely bound up in considerations of inertia. The physics of the aetheric continuum knows no such limitations, details, or rigorous fixtures. Incompressible, infinitesimal in cross sections, aether gases permeate matter. Tesla stated that all kinetic energy was ultimately traceable directly back to the aetheric atmosphere. Aetheric movements provoke the “inertia” in Nature. In exploring the ultra-gaseous aetheric
medium, Tesla produced a method for bombarding various materials with intensely concentrated aetheric streams. This first began with his search for a superior aetheric lamp, one which required only an aetheric supply to produce an intense brilliance.

Supported on a single lead wire, these bulbs produced then-unheard effects. Tesla placed jewels, light metals, heavy metals, non-metals, and radioactive materials in these globes. He immersed these materials in various gaseous atmospheres. He finally tried hard vacuum. ,Ether streams exploded through the various crystalline lattices placed atop the Single electrode. Each unidirectional impulse passed directly through the material and out into surrounding space. Electrode mailer was Simply evaporated, converted to aether and other particles. The hardest, most refractory materials Simply vanished away after several seconds of this treatment. Tesla said that impulses acted as tiny “hammers”,
passing from within the substance itself out to space. Here was proof that aether was converting mailer into pure energy. Tesla noted that the radiant expulsions actually passed through the globes. In many cases they left only a faint metallic stain. Soon, continued exposure to the aether streams drove even these stains away.

Radiant Energy was not thermionic emission, as others have tried to rationalize the phenomenon. Thermionic electrons do not pass through glass envelopes of the thickness Tesla employed. Here was a distinct phenomenon, one which did not in fact manifest with other than impulse applications. Tesla alternately called these pure aetheric expulsions “radiant mailer” and “radiant energy”. Neutral in charge and infinitesimal in both mass and cross-section, Radiant Energy was unlike any light seen since his work was concluded. If asked whether Radiant Energy can be compared with any existing physical item today, one would have to decline. We cannot draw parallels between Radiant Energy and the light energies with which science has long been preoccupied. But if light-like at all, Radiant Energy is possessed of qualities unlike
any light which we have learned to generate. And this is precisely the problem. Tesla Technology is Impulse Technology. Without the disruptive, unidirectional IMPULSE, there are no Radiant Energy effects. Generating this Radiant Energy requires special energetic applications, applications of succinct and brief impulses. These impulses must be generated through the explosive agency of a disruptive discharge just as Tesla prescribed.

The problem Tesla faced in obtaining purified Radiant Energy currents was found to be the very conductive media which he was forced to use as conductors. Materials appropriate to the release of contaminant-free emanations could no longer be the familiar copper or even silver. Conductors now were necessarily the very light metals. For this purpose, Tesla relied on metals such as magnesium, aluminum, and even beryllium. With these metals as conductors, electrodes, targets, and windows, Tesla produced a series of long vacuum tubes. Made specifically for beaming aetheric streams, each of these beamray tubes employed a single concave electrode in one end. In many cases there was a thin metallic window, usually aluminum or beryllium, at the opposite end. The large and heavy-walled glass tube was encased in a lead
shield to protect the operator from inadvertent dangerous emissions. When activated by the disrupter, an intensely focused aetheric stream was projected from the free end. This beam took the form of a tight thready ray. Tesla had initial difficulty insulating the applications end of this beamray tube. Preventing the wild arcing of supply line energy was problematic, premature aether discharges often darting around the tube rather than flowing through it. This problem was solved by enclosing the tube with a second glass jacket, and
pumping mineral out through the outer sleeve.

The pressure within these bulbs became anomalous and high. Despite the hard vacuum which Tesla had first provided, these bulbs often exploded. In certain modern reproductions of these experiments, conducted by the renown Eric Dollard, vacuum bulbs so activated actually ruptured in tiny holes, and yet continued to produce their “vacuum” discharges! Mr. Dollard and the witnesses of these experiments reported hearing a hissing issuance which emerged from the glass rupture holes. Once the activating energy was removed, the globes simply imploded. Here is evidence of a radiant material emission, whose powerful streams exert great pressure.

BEAMRAYS

Tesla found that these globe-expelled streams manifested strange effects beyond the glass containers. He was able to charge capacitors to dangerous charge levels at great distances by focusing the light from these globes. Their light was electrified! In bombardments, aether did more than eject quanta. In this special light, Tesla saw that aether streams were manufacturing electrons and other detritus. This provoked his study of quanta, particles which he considered tightly constricted streams of aether, Deformed by material passage into ultramicroscopic foci, Tesla believed that particles could be “undone” by appropriate means. This would release the aetheric contents, an insignificant
amount of energy per particle. The stability of particulate matter depended only upon the fixed movements of aether particles in their constricted radii. Particulate charges, charge carriers themselves, demonstrated a remarkable consistency in either projecting or absorbing aether streams. In this phenomenon, Tesla perceived an ultimate aether energy source. In his later years, he would seek means to release a purified aetheric energy.

Tesla experimented with ruby, zirconia, diamond, sapphire, carborundum, each producing a brilliant light until disintegration. He Simply could not find a refractory material which could withstand the passage of this radiant flux without vaporizing. The lamps which Tesla finally succeeded in developing, carbon button vacuum globes, did not require an “amperage”. These lamps gave off intensely brilliant light approaching the intensity and quality of true sun-shine. The reason for his reliance on carbon was truly intriguing. Used in latter stages of his Transformers, metals could become deadly producers of electron dartlets, aetheric bombardments manufactured electrons in copper terminals. These contaminated the otherwise smooth and harmless aether streams. Tesla sought a material whose response to aether bombardment would not result in the introduction of electrons or any other free ionic charge. Carbon performed well in permitting a smooth and unhindered flow of aether, one which remained essentially unchanged. In fact, it was with his carbon button lamps that Tesla made some of the greatest strides in aether technology (see figure). The streams proceeding from within these lamps could be so adjusted, by
means of an adjusted rapidity in the impulse rate, so as to appear rainbow colored, flame-like, brush-like, or intensely white. These descriptions are not to be taken as the common varieties of brush or flame discharges. Indeed, ordinary electrical flame discharges require DC or low frequency alternations. True Tesla flame-like discharges require highest impulse rates. Experiments have successfully duplicated these effects, the result of work accomplished nearly a decade ago by Eric Dollard. The flimmering streams are like no other electrical discharge ever produced by familiar means. When properly adjusted, these discharges closely approximate the true appearance of the aurora borealis. Their colorations change unpredictably from second to second, a phenomenon not observed with ordinary electrical discharges. But at special impulse rates, these white discharges disappear, and a “dark light” emanation is powerfully produced: a “very special radiation”. It is neutral, penetrating, and not of a species identified with Ultraviolet, X-Ray, or Gamma Ray, or neutron streams.

By 1893, Tesla had designed and operated signalling systems which used such globes to flash telegraphic signals across space without apparent loss to their receivers. These aetheric signalling systems required no amplifiers, being powerful and static-free. From his South Fifth Avenue Laboratory, Tesla had already been sending loud aether ray signals up and down the Hudson River for years with little more than small ball antennas. He was the first to develop radio circuits and components. Tesla discovered that substances such as selenium behaved as soft receptors of aetheric energies. Poised in solid copper cones, uncharacteristic of even shortwave radio Signalling systems, Tesla demonstrated both broadcast and directed beam signalling apparatus. Boxed in beautiful mahogany with brass trims, his aetheric signalling system was compact and powerful. Tesla found that very low powered radiant lamp transmitters had effect on the aetheric atmosphere of the earth. Modulating this dynamic aether envelope effected very “long range communications in excess of the normal line-of-sight limitations. These developments came several years before Marconi ever appeared on the scene with his concoction of plagiarized equipment. The Tesla Radio System used potent aetheric streams, not weak waves. Tesla illustrated this fact in later years, when Marconi wave radio began
evidencing all of its inefficiencies and failed potentials.

Tesla Radio did not operate in the electrical wave continuum, nor was it reliant on waves. Tesla Radio operated in the aetheric atmosphere, and utilized “dark light rays” of real force. Aetheric rays, thin thready aetheric streams, exceeded the power and penetrability of waves by an incalculable degree. Tesla Radio receiving circuitry used the power in the transmitted radiance to power the little compact receiving stations, an unlikely possibility with weak wave radio. Tesla soon adopted these systems for telephonic modes of operation. An onboard battery was provided for the transmit circuit of his portable radios. These power requirements were indeed minimal, a marvel for those who very later on were compelled by court action to examine the contents of Tesla Radios. Power was provided by a mere dry cell or at most, a very small storage battery.

When examined closely by court officers years later, his patents in these regards often raised dubious expressions in the faces of his  unenlightened critics. In both size and effectiveness, their transmissions were exceedingly powerful, an anomalous condition by all existing standards of the day. Those who knew nothing of the power inherent in aetheric streams could not conceive of a passive receiving system which claimed to exchange telephonic signals without excessive componentry, or an active transmitting circuit which used such little power to reach the claimed great distances.

But his curiosity did not stop with this success. Later vacuum tubes were tremendously modified and arranged so that aether streams would impinge upon special targets. Some of these tubes poised the targets entirely within the tube. Others placed the materials at one end of the tubes, windows through which streamed aether and detrital components.

Researcher and author Jorge Resines has obtained information on the various remarkable tubes which Tesla produced throughout these years, an astounding collection. In a recent publication, Mr. Resines produced drawings of these, a remarkable assortment resembling modern military radiopower tubes. Tesla made extensive use of uranium, thorium, and radium as targets. It is probable that Tesla began his research in compact Aether power generators when these latter varieties were employed. Tesla found that the heavier metals produced an amazing variety of contaminating particulate emissions. It was the resistance of elements and other materials which produced so many well
known, and other new energetic species when bombarded by aetheric streams. Academes who limited themselves to catalogues of fixed photon and particle species were not observing the most fundamental dynamics, contenting themselves only with the by-products produced in resistive interactions with aetheric streams. If the electron-rich emissions from his original copper sphere terminals were life-hazardous discharges, the emissions from these tubes were far more dangerous.

Tesla discovered the varieties of energetic species emerging from the target windows long before Roentgen announced the discovery of X-rays. Tesla had already catalogued the existence of these and other aether-containing emissions. His conception of radioactivity included the notion that “space impinging” aether streams were bombarding matter of appropriate atomic cross-section. Those densely packed lattices, capable of intercepting and diffracting incoming aether, manifested a continual outward expulsion of particles and energetic emissions. It was from experimental examples such as these that Tesla drew analogues, explaining natural radioactivity. Besides citing the large nuclear cross-section of heavy atoms and their usual radioactivity, Tesla also believed that special atomic symmetries could diffract or deflect incoming aether streams sufficiently enough to produce radioactive emissions in lighter metals. The projected aether streams could be directed through very long distances without the slightest sign of divergence. They were intensely powerful. Indeed these rays seemed to self-constrict, a nature unknown in the electromagnetic spectrum. Soon Tesla began examining the possibility of beaming esther streams
between special towers, a powerline analogue which substituted aether beams for powerlines. In this manner, power would not be wasted away in all directions as he had Originally planned to do. Now, a much improved system would permit the conservation and concentration of aether energy along tight thready beams. Power could be distributed to neighborhoods from such central tower receivers along horizontal radii to consumers. The entire distribution system resembled a neurological network. Beamed from tower to tower throughout the countryside, aetheric energy streams from central stations could thus be distributed everywhere without substantial loss (see figure).

The aetheric beams had other, more deliberate applications, which startled Tesla and all those who witnessed his many experiments. These beams could be focused to a tiny pinpoint and directed into metals. The streams simply sprayed over the surfaces. But when the impulse durations were carefully adjusted, the spray became a needle which easily pierced the plate. In this permeating stream of force, metal plates Simply melted. In some cases they exploded. Tesla found it possible to bum diamond with such pinpoints of force. Indeed by such results, his concept of “force” had been completely revolutionized. What he had both observed and learned in these issues were cunningly preserved by him in numerous press interviews. His pre-planned statements had as their intention a provocation of the deepest kind. Toward whom were
these principally aimed? Toward all those who, while not interested or excited enough about his findings to learn more, yet maintained their distant and aloof luxury of criticism and slander. Only one person maintained the closest and almost fatherly bond with him throughout these years. That person was Sir William Crookes, Tesla’s hero and mentor. Their continuous and sincere correspondence remained one of the only sources of human solace upon which Tesla could both seek and rely.

While experimenting with his vacuum globes, Tesla observed the linearity of the expelled streams. When projected from small spherical electrodes, these aetheric rays traveled in sharp radii from the center. So infinitesimal were the carriers of this aetheric stream that they were able to reveal the inner atomic lattice of crystalline matter. Small crystals of metal or gemstones produced characteristic point patterns on the surface of the globes. It was apparent that aether particles, the neutral sub-electronic particles that Tesla termed “Radiant Energy”, actually passed through the material which were poised on the electrodes “from the inside out”. That is, they passed through the atomic lattices of those materials and, in so doing, carried information in the stream. What sort of information? Nuclei diffracted these infinitesimals on their rapid journeys up through the electrode nuclei. In doing so, their otherwise uniform density was deformed. That the particles of this Radiant Energy could pass through the atomic lattices at all gave proof that these were neutral particles. For Tesla, thy were the result of extreme bombardments, where matter is absolutely sheared beyond its subatomic conditions. Tesla, along with Dr. Le Bon, adhered to the notion that a smooth transition existed between energy and matter. A whole spectrum of materializations could therefore exist when appropriate bombarding matter was secured. Tesla believed he had found the most powerful agency for such bombardments, an agency released only through the explosive successions of his Transformer.

TELEVISION

Because these streams could carry such detailed information, Tesla began to imagine a means for transmitting visual information, The additional characteristic by which aether streams maintained their strict rectilinear paths in transit, stimulated Tesla to hypothesize that broad aether streams could carry pictorial imagery. Projected from broad plates, and forming densely “parallel” streams, such a system could carry images to any distance. Potent and penetrating, aetheric rays provided a new kind of light for an equally new kind of communications system. Tesla stated that whole images could be projected through such invisible radiant matter rays. Such a visual exchange system would be as Simple as a slide projector, though obviously more potent. In this, Tesla early conceived of a television system which, yet today, remains revolutionary.

Striking in its analogue to the “magick lanterns” of the Victorian Epoch, Tesla produced a design lacking the complex scanning mechanisms which plagued all later picture transmission systems. Invisibly travelling through walls, aetheric streams could be captured and resolved by using special sensitive plates, on which live images could be focused. Image loaded aetheric streams would be projected from central broadcast stations at impulse rates which would Simply pass through all material obstacles. Invisible in their transit through intervening spaces, such whole image transmissions could be received and translated back into visibility through the imposition of special phosphor-coated plates. Images would travel through space as a whole block. These images could be beamed directly from source to receiver. Signals would be strong, requiring no amplification or additional energy supply. Signals would be noise free, the dense aetheric continuum being completely different that the harsh electromagnetic continuum. Dark light projection through walls! Tesla described a means by which several such Signals could be superimposed without mutual interference. A Simple tuning mechanism in the receiver would select the images desired. Tesla related that such superimposition could accommodate thousands of simultaneous signals, thousands of channels. Whole
image transmission of extreme definition, without a scanning mechanism, was made possible by the aetheric stream. It would be years later, in 1917, that Tesla described a modification of this system of whole image television. In a subsequent interview, Tesla described a system by which distant objects could be whole-imaged. His design incorporated all of the components planned for his commercial television system. His modified system was a remote-locating device. Again lacking the complexity of scanning systems and other heavy support components, any ship equipped with his fluorescent screens could “image” a distant ship or submarine by projecting a ray beam through air, fog, rain, or even water. The rays were unstoppable, being reflected whenever they intercepted a metallic hood or hull.

Tesla’s shipborne beamray projector would pulse aetheric streams, of very specific intervals, out across a horizontal plane. Tesla stated that this “electric ray”, when encountering any obstacle, would be reflected back to the source point. Here, the otherwise invisible beam would be visually resolved by the same special phosphor-coated plates as planned for the commercial television system. In this announcement, Tesla leaked a secret concerning the essential nature of his aether beamrays. Apparently, through the application of very specific impulses at the source, aether streams could actually be reflected from matter. The Tesla range-locator, a system designed to spot submarines or battleships
alike, was simple, potent, failproof, and effective. Here again, Tesla made use of the extreme definition provided through the beamed projection of ultra-infinitesimal “Radiant Energy”. Here again was evidence that neutral Radiant Energy could be made to interact with matter Simply by varying the pulsed projection interval. The military was not interested at the time.

AETHERDRIFT

Once initiated and maintained, the space flowing currents from a beamray tube could not be extinguished. Difficult at first to believe, but the aether currents from such devices for a time continued. Tesla found it possible to produce long lasting currents which persisted throughout his laboratory and demonstration spaces. All he needed to do was tum on a beamray tube to stimulate the space flow. Tesla found that the removal of aether currents from a space in which they had been directed, was not easy. No, aether currents were not easily extinguished. Radiant Energy did not behave as all other familiar energy forms. Here were artificial “aether drifts”, a topic which represented a deep mystery. Momentum. The momentum of aether currents was sufficient to maintain their continuous passage through any space for a time. An initiatory period was required to establish the current aether responded to pressure changes. Any strong currents in the aether would gather other energy from the surrounding aetheric atmosphere. Once started, these would continue for an hour or more.

Tesla demonstrated this principle of action. Lamps remained brightly lit long after power had been withdrawn. When merely placed in the paths where tether currents had been directed, lamps could be reignited. This condition persisted for several minutes, evidence that aether currents kept flowing long after the beamray tube was extinguished. Tesla very casually mentioned this fact when describing a process by which he could “obtain energy for hours” after his impulse transmitters were disconnected. Tesla described this “ionized” condition in the ambient medium. He also described the nature of strange discharges obtained from organic materials. Clothes, hair, and wooden objects
produced soft white, gossamer sparks for an equivalent hour or more. These were long, very clingy, and thready. Strange gossamer! Such discharges do not sound familiar. They are certainly not electrical phenomena, being the very obvious result of an intense bombardment in a far deeper natural realm of energy, From any electrical vantage alone, all of these phenomena sounded absolutely ridiculous and overdone, the “poetic” fabrications of a madman, In addition, Tesla found that space-traversing currents gained extra power from the surrounding aetheric supply. This extra supply was pulled into the current channel, guided only by its own momentum, This was why aether power did not diminish as other energetic manifestations, Aether, possessed of momentum, did not suffer from frictional losses either. Aether beams  remained rigidly fixed in their position, flowing on and on until the gradual diminution process finally brings them to a halt. An experimenter, Mr. Gregory Hodowanec, has conducted experiments in this fascinating field. He has successfully corroborated these claims of Tesla, showing in a most remarkable and simple manner that any impulse, movement, or stimulation in the aetheric atmosphere “continues to flow” in place for hours at a time. Along with the gravitic waves with which he is principally concerned, Mr. Hodowanec employs capacitors to detect aetheric impulses in space. Most remarkably, he has extended the science of aether into an exploration of gravitation.

Quite obviously, Tesla Transformers were able to stimulate strong flow lines in the aetheric atmosphere, These surged through his special vacuum tubes along any direction in which they were aimed, He found himself, like his mentor Sir William Crookes, searching through laboratory space for evidence of atmospheric aether drifts, Sir William had predicted that “ectoplasmic disturbances” in the “aetheric continuum might be detected with special high vacuum discharge globes of his own early design, used as a scrying telescope for peering
into the spectral world, he had hoped that it would reveal a new dimension, Toward this and other ends, Dr, Crookes continually made tests with his large globular discharge devices, carefully unpacking them from their special velvet-lines boxes in old English estates. There in large darkened rooms, while peering into the mirrored concave electrodes covered over in white flimmering radiance, the whimsical bespectacled man with the twinkling smile eagerly sought ghosts,

Another “detail” which Tesla discovered dealt with the “pliant” nature of the aether. When appropriately stimulated by his methods, aether could be made to execute strange convolutions. Aether was incredibly responsive to pressure changes anywhere along its path, The slightest effective exertion on such a stream produced an instantaneous corresponding movement throughout the whole flow, aetheric streams behaved in a “stiff” way, much like high pressure jets of water fired through pinholes. They were not always visible in transit, producing a white streaming light only near the point of their departure from his special high vacuum tubes. These beams were not composed of electrons,  X-Rays, or Gamma Rays. Once released and directed aetheric beams did not diverge or bend unless striking into appropriate materials, Tesla forever maintained that natural radioactivity was the weak by-product of a powerful, but unmeasurable dielectric flux whose source was space aether. Focusing into dense nuclei, aether was diverted and blocked. This concentrated bombardment produced particulate and photonic emanations through “spallation”, divergent energetic impacts between particles. But using dielectric energy would be using the very source of these radioactive manifestations. It was curious that aether, being the far greater power source, was so very soft in its natural state. One could stand exposed to an aether stream and never become ill. Tesla found to his delight that aether streams of specific impulse
were beneficial, and exposed himself to their streams daily for periods of an hour or more as desired. Tesla inferred that aether particles passed through the body as if it were transparent. The only time they interacted was when the pulsations were such that physiology began to pulsate in rhythmic successions with the incoming aether pulses. In his use of aetheric streams, Tesla found a remarkable resultant elevation in both sensation and consciousness. Ideas seemed to emerge and visions clarify during these exposures. Interactions of bio-organic matter with aether pulsations became the source of vitalizing influences. Aether was neutral, and did not ionize matter unless focused and delivered
as a short duration impulse train.

Tesla learned that he could actually impress an aetheric stream with changes from the reception site, a true anomaly. Aether was so responsive to manipulations from the received end of a stream that cascade reactions would quickly spread along the stream back to its source. Thus, a receiver could literally force the aether source to feed it wherever it moved! This was the result of pressure laws, superluminal speeds, and aetheric density. Any rarefaction in the aether flow would instantly tug aether into the lower pressure volume. Aether responses occurred with superluminal velocity, conditions being established and strengthened after a small such manipulation of the flow. Tesla saw that he could literally “shape” the aether flow within certain degrees of freedom. Most engineers simply failed to comprehend how anyone could exert a powerful such effect on a gaseous atmosphere which was supposedly inaccessible! Additionally, beams of aether acquired extra power in transit across any
long space, an essential anomaly. This is why beamrays of Radiant Energy never weakened after being projected for long distances. This was an unheard condition, where otherwise “lost energy” maintains and gathers strength after being expended across space. Obviously, Radiant Energy was finding a mysterious energetic supply while in transit. None of the expectable energy laws of natural diminution applied to Radiant Energy. This was because the aether was everpresent, a ready and undiminished supply of energy. Aether was a gaseous radiance, often invisible to the eye, but a powerful pressure source. Along with several colleagues of the day, Tesla firmly ascribed to the aetheric
theory of gravitation. Gravitation was evidence that a groundward aetheric pressure was at work, permeating mass and producing fixed relationships of attraction with respect to the earth proper. The apparent constant acceleration of different falling masses was accordingly calculated as a function of density and cross-section. Theoretically, the concept remains a curiously flawless explanation of gravitation. Perhaps the recent scientific world too much resembles the world of “pop” art and music, where fickle fads and novelties are more
important than expressions of excellence.

It seemed confirmed that aether, Radiant Energy, was indeed possessed of strange responses to external action. It actually interacted with receivers of its penetrating force. If allowed to strike distant targets for example, a strange transformation in the otherwise straight path lines could take place. Beams would become tightly constricted at the target, self-focusing themselves into the material. But subsequent movements in targeted matter would cause deflections and undulations in the otherwise straight beam. The influence of the recipient, of the target, could very often work its way back to the source and force a deflection! Aether beams were thus extremely sensitive, and could “track” a target (see figure).

Despite every twist or turn, once an aether beam had constricted into a material target, there was no escaping it These dynamics were later viewed in a series of celebrated illustrations which Tesla directed and approved. One sees flying craft and ocean vessels drawing power from the one of the World Broadcast Stations, the bright beam “tracking” each target and supplying it with motive power. In this, it was evident that aether streams were ruled by pressure principles, and responded to pressure changes instantaneously. But pressures in what atmosphere?

Additionally, while it was possible for Tesla to direct such beams of aether in any direction, these were not the most powerful manifestations of aether flow in the environment. Tesla had indeed found certain very defined natural aetheric drifts, angles along which aether streams seemed to last much, much longer than usual. It was as if some additional power had been added to the beamrays which he launched. He observed the times required for these artificial aether currents to gradually fade out. Though initially strong when launched, their effects did fade eventually. Regardless of their remarkable continuance, a persistence due to aetheric pliancy and momentum, aether currents anywhere directed did not continue forever. They evidenced a diminution, and this suggested an interfering source. Where was it?

Tesla now perceived a much larger vista. He comprehended the successful operation of his first Transformers in the absence of formal ground connections. In these modes, Impulse Transformers were shunting space sourced aether from aerial routes through aerial routes. These modes exchanged aeether streams largely in a horizontal plane. This now was not viewed by Tesla as the most powerful embodiment of the system. Complete efficiency, maximum power, was obtained only in connection with the ground. This arrangement placed the apparatus in conformance with natural processes, vast systems whose dominating activities demanded technological conformity. Tesla had discovered
a system which had to be geophysical in order to be efficient, a revolutionary concept for the day. This notion hailed back to archane knowledge which placed technology in subservience to natural process. Unlike the mechanistic science which began with the Eighteenth Century, and which challenged Natural Order with a supposed autonomous technology, Tesla had stumbled onto a great and forgotten truth. Here was a technology which could tap a virtually eternal natural process.

Many other aetheric drifts were measured. Shifting and wandering, these could be measured with changes in seasons and weather patterns. Tesla perceived that whorls, eddies, and laminar flow lines revealed a dynamic aether, This was a theme not widely discussed since Descartes drew his conceptual maps of aetheric whirlpools in space. Here then was not a simple and “homogeneous continuum”, as Victorian Science believed, whose streams smoothly and effortlessly flowed through the terrestrial environment. Tesla discovered the detail which these theories lacked, through the empirical method which so often corrects and finalizes our knowledge. In this quest, he was indebted to
his senses, an absolute reliance on the Qualitative Method which affirmed the greater sensitivity of human perceptions. Tesla placed first emphasis always on the inestimable value of perception and the humanly valuable knowledge which it so often brought.

SPACE AETHER

He again recalled the light from his vacuum bulbs and their strong resemblance to natural sunlight. The mere light from these lamps was filled with a component which produced strong pressure effects and additionally, could charge capacitors. So complete were the electrostatic states of capacitors charged in this manner that mica dielectrics often ruptured under the strain. Tesla knew that aetheric particles, his “Radiant Energy”, were being expelled from his Single terminal lamps. This produced the pressures felt on the face when exposed to the brilliant light. Entering the metallic layers of the capacitor, these eether particles were manufacturing electrons. This what brought about
the electrostatic strain capable of rupturing the dielectrics. There was no electricity in the aether stream per se, the electricity appeared when resisted by appropriate elements. Metals, the good electroconductors, were obviously some of these elements.

But sunshine had these attributes as well. Sunlight contained an aetheric component, previously described by researchers such as Baron Karl von Reichenbach, Gustav Le Bon, and George S. White. Metals in sunlight evidenced absorptions in varieties of response to aetheric penetrations. Dr. Le Bon spoke of his experiments with metals which had been exposed to focused sunlight, experiments which produced radio activities far in excess of those produced by radium itself. Indeed, there had been those cases where roofing copper, after years of exposure to intense sunlight and natural process, became quite radioactive (Lehr). Exposure to sunlight aether produced bombardments
capable of transmuting elements. Additionally, exposure to sunlight produced the same pressure effects as observed in his aether-pulsed vacuum lamps. One often sensed that some energetic component was actually completely penetrating the skin. On the skin surface, academes measured “infrared” and “ultraviolet”, the manufactured products of aether streams passing through bio-organic matter.

When Tesla began publishing his thoughts on aetheric particles from space, what he first termed “cosmic rays”, the academic derision was unbridled and caustic. One of the chief voices in this assault on Tesla was one young Robert Millikan, who had apparently learned that art of “creative skeptical mockery” to gain favor from his mentors. In later years when academic doldrums required some new creative turn. Dr. Millikan now claimed credit for having discovered “cosmic rays”. Had he bothered to read the articles which Tesla had written, and against which he had so very much to say, Millikan would not have been satisfied with his own so-called discoveries. Tesla stated that true cosmic rays were like Radiant Energy, not at all the heavy ions, and gamma rays which Millikan was detecting. In speaking of the prodigious quantities of aether forcibly expelled by the sun and stars, academes of his day thought him quite mad.

Nevertheless, Tesla continued to teach that these radiant particles were undetectable by normal means. Those like Millikan, who succeeded in detecting charged particles from space, and not identified these primary radiant particles. Tesla stated that the so-called “cosmic rays” of the conventional lexicon were tertiary and even quaternary residues, the splattered by-products of collisions stimulated by Radiant Energy. He claimed the means by which he had successfully detected these before the turn of the Century. More than this, Tesla was now about to harness the “eternal wheelworks of Nature”, The aetheric volumes which came to the earth from the space was an incalculable volume, a power source of eternal consequence. It arrived to earth under extreme pressure, a value which Tesla calculated in the range of several
“hundred million volts”. Tesla stated that the aetheric atmosphere, though often a “dark light”, floods the earth at all times with its great power. Tesla stated that both the geointernal radioactive elements and the native heat of the earth was a direct result of aetheric bombardment from space. Although the sun was a dominant source of Radiant Energy, Tesla stated that it was not the only supplier of aetheric particles. Aether was expelled from all points in interstellar space, a constant supply of natural Radiant Energy. Such energy was released by stellar processes. Since the sun was a local aether source, it figured in the total aether supply. The normal space influx was therefore augmented during the daytime by the additional solar supply. Bombarding the earth from all directions, Radiant Energy entered the earth. Once having passed through the crust, it was sufficiently slowed to lodge deep within the mantle. After passing through these miles of rock, the highly pressured and kinetically energetic aether transferred its prodigious energies to the deeper material of the earth
itself.

Sunlight. Starlight. Space. Radiant Energy. The connections were too direct to be misleading, the concept too direct to be erroneous. Here was an inescapable probability awaiting application. Just as his aether stream projectors had power to push matter and charge certain metals, so too did sunlight have this inherent potential. Only a means for fully tapping this enormous flow prevented humanity from harnessing the true and most formidable energy in sunlight. Conceiving of the sun, its aether flow, and the earth itself, Tesla recognized
that a vast aetheric exchange system was here represented. This system was the self-generative natural source from which energy could Simply be absorbed and used. No fuel needed ever be consumed again. The notion that aether could be resisted by certain materials, was new to the theory of aether, Formerly, this theory ascribed unreal characteristics to aether, Tesla now had empirical facts against which to form a realistic model. Specific matter could deflect aetheric streams. Electrostatic fields as well demonstrated their ability to distort aetheric streams. Here were special facts, having special technological implications. To be empowered in the quest of developing aetheric technology was to be on the very threshold of achieving wonders. In several experimental instances, researchers discovered the complete annihilation of
gravitic effects due to extreme positive electrostatic charge. George Piggot showed that it was possible to suspend large beads of silver within a positive monopolar field. Dr. Francis Nipher also demonstrated the complete reversal of gravitational attraction in a modified Cavendish balance. Here too it was found that strong positive electrostatic charge, though completely shielded in Faraday cages, successfully repelled neutral matter. These could only be the result of aetheric interactions.

Tesla now understood why certain geological regions were most “energetic” and conducive to the juncture of electrical communication systems. Old telegraphers and telephone linesmen knew the difference between “good ground” and “bad ground”. This lesson was again being learned by those who had chosen the pursuit of wave radio. Only certain ground sites were acceptable as sites from which exceptionally strong Signals could be launched out into space. While Tesla disdained those who so pursued Marconi and his weak reproductions of Hertzian research, he also understood why the geological sites worked in their efficient manner. Most practical engineers Simply equated these geological sites with “better conductivity”. This simplistic explanation was, very unfortunately, untrue. It was found that such “good ground” did not always conform with geological features at all. Furthermore, it was impossible to rely on geological patterns for the accurate selection of radio station sites. Tesla perceived that space sourced aether streams were responsible for “good ground”,
focusing and flowing into the ground for reasons much deeper than geology alone. Perhaps it was the aetheric flow which caused the geology!

Tesla inferred that locales in which aether had been resisted caused such intense bombardment that radioactive minerals had there been generated. Aether streams were modified by existed geological structures, focusing or dispersing throughout each region. Perhaps also these were the reasons why certain locations demonstrated distorted gravitational and perceptual behaviors. This bombardment from space was energetic enough to produce the observed natural georadioactivity and geothermal heat. In this view, gravitation itself was a direct result of aetheric bombardment from space. Tesla viewed the earth itself as a gigantic stone lens, focusing all incoming aether particles. In this manner, geothermal heat would be localized within a given subterranean horizon. Heat would be continually released throughout the earth, being most intense within its horizon. There were other geophysical consequences of this focused bombardment. Indeed, the aether flow from space was an overwhelming supply. Tesla often became ecstatic just to imagine or speak of it. Aether was entering the earth from space continuously! Tesla began making connections from this knowledge into those mysteries which presently occupied the scientific preoccupations of his day. This wonderful aetheric flow from space manifested itself in a host of unexplained electrical phenomena with
which science had long been baffled. Many explanations rushed together.

Now Tesla was able to understand that sunlight contained an aetheric component, one which drove itself in endless streams from space into the ground. This was the process responsible for the generating the natural dielectric field of the earth, responsible for the spontaneous charging of aerial terminals or grounded capacitors, responsible for natural electric displays, and so forth. The terrestrial electric field, problematic from every explanatory perspective, could be explained by aetheric principles alone. A technology which worked entirely in the aetheric realm would provide undreamed potentials for humanity. In truth the aetheric realm lay too close to the very realms of sensation and consciousness for coincidence, a parallel which Tesla had long pondered. Perhaps the formation of deserts was caused by excessive such bombardments. The subsequent loss of life and water vapor from such regions evidenced the dangerous conditions that could be produced by a technological system which used aether. He would necessarily have to seek out places which were already desertified, a site whose elevation was great. He began to plan his great experiment in order to determine the exact parameters needed to establish a truly
commercial aether power system.

Tesla believed that electricity and the Aether were one and the same.

Tesla observed these pulsations and chose a range within which to operate his aether engine. The incoming aether waves would supply a continual supply of enormous power. If his impulse transmitter could be made to accommodate the exact incoming pulsations which he had chosen, a valving action would be established. The impulse transmitter could then appropriate the incoming energetic pulsations, entering into the natural geoaetheric flow. Once this condition was established, one which Tesla referred to as “impulse resonance”, a host of possibilities would then present themselves. Tesla could arrange to rebroadcast these aether pulses at more rapid rates, to be absorbed at higher rates by distant ground connected appliances.Tesla now apprehended the fact that incoming aether so bombarded the ground that electronic charge was actually produced therein. These spontaneously manufactured electrons distributed themselves through slow conduction process throughout the ground. Of course, there were geo-related inconsistencies to this conductive process, electrons bunching in certain places and causing continual electrostatic phenomena (Corliss) .Here then was the mysterious source of terrestrial dielectric fields. Apart from the daytime deformations caused by the sun, the orientation of this dielectric field remained constant day and night. While only mildly deformed during the day, the field was a remarkably resilient natural feature of the environment, one whose very presence could not truly be understood. From where did this field originate?

What was the source of the excess electronic charge constantly emerging from the ground, whose electrostatic field reached out into space? Tesla had learned that aetheric bombardments of certain matter ejected, and at times manufactured electrons. Aether particles often condensed within atomic nuclei, the manufacture process being evidence by an excess of negative charge in laboratory bombardment experiments. The very light of his vacuum lamps was sufficiently charged with neutral Radiant Energy to charge capacitors. If this served as an example of natural principles, then Radiant Energy from space was the real source of the terrestrial electronic charges. Bombarding the atmosphere, and plowing into the upper crust on their way toward the mantle, the primary ultra-infinitesimal aether particles manufactured
electrons. These drifted up to the surface and distributed themselves more or less uniformly, a constantly manufactured supply of undiminished quantity. This was why the dielectric field of the earth remained so clock-constant. Just as the Radiant Energy from his vacuum lamps steadily charged capacitors across a room, so also did the Radiant Energy from space steadily charge the earth. This powerful natural aether flow, from space to ground, flooded the environment. The conversion of continually produces an excess population of negative charge which has never found satisfactory explanation.

It was apparent that. while the sun was the most “local” terrestrial aether source, a vast reservoir of densely concentrated aether was indeed coming in from all other parts of space at all times undiminished. The sun did not dominate the aetheric supply, it augmented the supply. This reception process was endless, a constant stream of unsuspected energy which entered the earth day and night. For Tesla this revealed a whole dynamic in which aetheric flow directed and guided all processes electrical . Aether was the superior, electricity the inferior. What aether did, electrical phenomena followed. This single principle became for him a rule of unparalleled use. Tesla consistently stated that
aether was being condensed into electrons at a specific rate, by which the terrestrial electric field was being manufactured. Physicists derided this notion, claiming that the excess electrons came from space “already made”. Science remains bound in numerous tautologies encompassing geomagnetism, solar wind, geo-thermoelectric process, and so on. Each of these hypotheses represent failed attempts at maintaining the “ionic balance”.

None of the bookkeeping techniques explains the excess of negative charge however. Later theories tried to show that these electrons arrived in a solar wind, the expelled debris from the solar thermonuclear reaction. But, all natural effects being balanced, no such “excess” of negative charge should be claimed for a solar wind hypothesis. The solar wind is a plasma, a neutral population. Tesla realized that academic science had been measuring the weak transition of aether into electrons, and calling the process a mystery. Not comprehending the invisible cause of the effect they measured, academes could not discover the source of excess negative charge! What Tesla greatly desired was the extraction of energy, free energy, from the natural aether flow.

RADIANT PULSATIONS

Several pieces of essential information had been working their magick in Tesla’s mind for months. Since his outdoor experiments with his preliminary broadcast power system, Tesla pondered the mystery of ground connections and their strangely increased efficiency. How had the ground applied impulses from the Transmitter somehow inexplicably accumulated power in traversing the ground toward the grounded appliances? He had found that a single elevated terminal greatly intensified the “energy magnification” effect. Many confused this arrangement with the ordinary aerial-ground components being developed at the time for wave radio applications. Misunderstanding the aetheric prime motivator of these transmitters, most would have viewed the various models of Tesla power systems in this conventional way. Indeed, examining the patents reveals no especially unusual components. The only attributes which differ in Tesla Patents are his descriptions, purposefully precise and perplexing in their assertions. In fact, the descriptions teach that efficient performance occurs with terminals which are largely capacitive. According to wave radio principles, these systems should never operate. Those who attempt to analyze
Tesla impulse transmitters from the wave radio perspective walk away either baffled or critical. One cannot rationalize Tesla Patent texts when viewed in a conventional vein.

Aether was more highly concentrated in the ground, but it flowed from space into that ground. Since the stream was directed groundward, the only possible means for absorbing extra aether energy was to forcefully drive an aether current down! With the applied flow directed into the ground, incoming aether from space would be given a resistance-free path to follow. The impulse transmitter would be acting as a pump. The immense space reservoir would be drawn down through the system. With the parameters very strictly controlled, space aether would prefer the elevated terminal to the natural geology, a more resistant an inhomogeneous surface. Accelerated by this downward low, aether streams would very quickly turn toward the impulse transmitter from outlying volumes of space. The impulse transmitter would be a source of almost eternal energy. But there were a few more facts to learn and a few more problems to solve before a practical aether engine could be built and operated. Were there additional characteristics in the natural flow which would require special systems accommodations?

Tesla used gas-dynamic and hydro-dynamic analogues in developing apparatus toward this remarkable objective. In his outdoor tests, the ground connection had revealed something of the process which he would now engage. Tesla had already learned that his impulse transmitters could absorb “extra energy” when grounded. Appliances too, when grounded, would produce uncharacteristic magnified performances. He should have known! This was early evidence that a natural aether supply was already present between sky and ground. In some inexplicable way, his impulse transmitters had entered the aether absorption process of Nature. Through some simple “pumping”
action, an additional energy flow had made its appearance in his power broadcast. This now made sense. The creation of an “aether pump” would necessarily conform with the prevailing natural aether flow, one which poured down from space to the earth. The relatively small applications of his impulse transmitter was being given an enormous “boost” by the natural downpour! Discovering more details about the space aether was now more than intriguing. It was a technological necessity. In the absence of any such knowledge, the pursuit of excellence had been a slow and methodic succession of discoveries in which he was left alone. His numerous publications and press conferences
consistently highlighted the potentials of a future technology which would change the world system. Having already demonstrated the fact that Polyphase could undo an “institution” as American as Thomas Edison, his former employee, many financiers had become concerned when Tesla described wireless power transmission. Heavily invested in Polyphase, the general feeling of security was by far too shaken by his now numerous and detailed announcements. It was very obvious to all who knew him, for he was well known in such social circles, that he had perfected the broadcast power system to a degree which could put them all out of business. Here were the first confrontations of
finance and technology, meeting in the person of Nikola Tesla. Concerned enough to meet the impending crisis which seemed so imminent at the hands of Tesla, a select and powerful consortium of financiers arranged a formal reply to Tesla’s many overtures.

In the early morning hours of March 13, 1895 at 2:00 AM, the magnificent Tesla Research Laboratory at 33-35 South Fifth Avenue exploded and burned. Floor upon floor fell until the building was nothing but a swirling wind of ash. The devastation was unprecedented, the very obvious work of hired saboteurs. Dynamite charges destroyed the very building foundation, a death trap which could not fail, Unknowing to them, and breaking his normal nightly routine that particular evening, Tesla had quietly slipped out through a concealed stairwell for an extended dinner at Delmonico’s. Tesla returned with his frantic assistant, Mr. Czito, and watched the ashes drift down the avenue until dawn. He vanished for two weeks to the great concern of his closest and dearest friends.The message of his return left his shadowy enemies thunderstruck. Tesla was still alive! His next public announcement was divisive and deliberate. Every press interview for the remainder of his life took a new turn. He was no longer opened and candid. This mystique drove intrigued enthusiasts toward his every statement. He was now planning the broadcast of power on a worldwide scale, and requested funding from the very ones he clearly knew were the guilty parties. It was well known by the public that certain such individuals had long threatened Tesla with the hostile takeover of his Polyphase amalgamation with Westinghouse. Fearful of public accusations in the all too obvious foiled death attempt, the guilty parties crawled out of the woodwork with philanthropic donations which Tesla absorbed with relish. He played this game with the same parties all of their remaining lives, until none of them were left to extort “philanthropic donations”. The hurt and the loss, nevertheless remained. He was purposed now to achieve what he had set out to do. Overturning the financial stronghold which he perceived taking root in the world, would be brought down at all costs. Energy, fuel, financial power, and regulation, these several principles would be reversed by the social response which his new technology would exact. The demand? Absolute freedom from the tyranny of
regulators.

Into these fields he continually strove, his technology the threshing tool. In his new laboratory at 40 West Houston Street, Tesla conducted a number of very revealing experiments with grounded impulse transmitters. He had conducted sufficient experiments in this new laboratory to acquire certain basic information necessary to the construction of a large-scale test station, a remarkable ability to perform small scale tests with a view toward subsequent enlargements. Pumping the local area with aether streams, Tesla discovered an amazing and essential fact which he had not previously realized. His ground pumping impulse transmitters operated with peak efficiency only when specific pulsations were applied. He also noted that the timing of applied such pulsations would produce zero reading or maximum readings on the output side. This meant only one thing: the strongest incoming pulsations were clock-regular. Instances where he received “zero outputs” were instances where the impulse transmitter was completely out of phase. Instances where he received strongest outputs were instances where the transmitters were completely in phase with the incoming pulsations. Of course there were those instances where a moderate
output was gained, instances where the pumping action may have preceded or followed the incoming pressures just a bit. In order to absorb these natural pulsations with greatest efficiency, he had to find a Simple way to synchronize the Transmitter with them exactly.

The pulsations themselves represented a natural process which Tesla had never suspected. Here was evidence that space aether did not in fact flow from space smoothly. The earth as whole was somehow modulating parts of the aether flow. Tesla monitored and charted this complex and fascinating natural phenomenon, an exciting display of mysterious origin. There were slow pulses whose ultra-slow periods exceeded his ability to record them. Others required hours to express themselves, yet others a few minutes each. The aether pulsation
spectrum had no lower limits and certainly no upper ones. Here were ample natural “channels” to use for power and other applications. In order to build a functioning aether engine, he would have to select one of these strong natural pulsations.

Tesla found that an amazing sequence of pulsations coexisted in this in corning flood. These came as pressure waves, never reversing direction, and were interspersed by relaxation intervals having specific duration. Therefore, the incoming aether came as complex superimposed pulsations, each having their own periods of pressure and relaxation. There was no upper or lower limit to these. Many of these pulse trains were very powerful, not just a few. Those powerful pulsations obviously differed in cause and source. Some were solar
stimulated, others had more mysterious origins in outer space. He correctly surmised the source of the more powerful pulsations. The sun played its greatest role in this pulsation process. Because it represented an aether source so close to the earth, its streams did not arrive with the uniform distribution of the space aether supply. The proximity stimulated the strong pulsations which were found to occur at fixed rates and in a specific range of pulsations. Pulsation groups were found, those groups each having singular source. Whether in the sun, the stars, the influence of planets, or mysterious causes in space, each group represented an available pulsation spectrum for utility. The source of all these pulsations had several causes. Space sourced aether entered the earth at pulsation rates related to the mysterious processes occurring
in deepest space. Many of their pulsations were the result of those space processes, having nothing to do with earth. Others yet had to do with process in space we may never properly comprehend. These represent the native properties of space and so forth. Yet there existed a class of pulsations definitely related to the proximal sun and the earth as a resistive body. The rocky earth represents a resistance to the otherwise smooth and continuous flow of aether from space.

Resistance in the crust brought an aether intensification process into play. The self-collimating self-magnifying property which he had observed, while experimenting in countless other applications, was suddenly appreciated on a terrestrial scale. Resisted aether focused into the resistant medium, producing intense bombardments with subsequent explosive particle emissions. One principle emission was electronic in nature. Electrons appeared in the rocky resistant matter, a contaminant which often choked the pure aetheric flow. The electron conversion process retarded the aetheric flow. On the terrestrial scale, such effects were enormous in scope. The incoming space aether stream was
not such a smooth flow after all, an unexpected fact. Tesla saw the native pulsation properties of space sources. These did not result from contact with earth resistance at all. But because the earth itself resisted the various incoming supplies in various degrees, special group pulsations had long ago been initiated in the groundward aether flux. These group pulse effects were produced on a vast scale. The incoming aether pulsated into and over the surface of the ground, in some places smoothly, in others with greater difficulty. Certain
geological locales had been the historically persistent site where prodigious lightning activity had been the familiar local attribute.
This retardation in the natural absorption of aether yet occurs on a vast terrestrial scale. The already pulsating streams encounter resistance, first in the atmosphere, and then in the crust. Space streams, however pulsing, are slowed from the otherwise superluminal velocities as a group by crustal resistance and the electron conversion process. The condition had existed for aeons. Momentum in the aether supply maintained the incoming group pulsations. The growth and establishment of this pulsation process was unstoppable. Aether pulses in,
is converted into electrons, relaxes, and comes in again. In addition, the proximity of the sun played its part in class of group pulsations. The sun was not homogeneous in its bombardment of the whole earth surface. Solar aether drove a vector over and through the earth. Several group pulsations were the result of this passage. There were geological modifications and magnifications of these effects. A whole class of aether pulsations were solar related. This pulsation train was unidirectional, aether passed into the earth, flowed around it, and went off into interplanetary space. Streaming aether would have, in fact, been problematic in this effort. Pulsations offered the possibility of an increased engine efficiency. The impulse transmitter would be so synchronized as the apply its groundward aether blasts at the exact instant in which a space pulse arrived. It would rest with the arrival of the natural relaxation interval. Arranging a highly resistive condition had been the work of engineers for countless centuries. This discovery and situation, revolutionary and futuristic from every aspect, required the opposite engineering conditions. Tesla had long experimented with the use of liquid air to refrigerate his systems. He was first to find that zero-resistance could actually be established in cryogenically cooled circuit components. Non-resistance was the key. The key to extracting momentum, power from the aether!

AETHER ENGINES

In order to fully utilize the groundward space aetheric flow, one simply had to conform with its natural pulsations. Tesla Transmitter stations had to accommodate these incoming pulsations with least resistivity. Tesla designed systems to accommodate cryogenic liquids for this purpose. Side branch circuits would appropriate the pressures from this main flux, applying them for broadcast purposes at quicker impulse rates. Tesla believed it was possible to arrange the parameters of his system to best enable earth absorption of greater than normal aetheric quantities. The large aerial terminal would focus in aether streams, beneath the station, a very deep and considerably broad ground system
would spread out this concentrated flux into the earth, where it would find its way through to the upper core. Establishing the initial ‘power draw” required a special function which Tesla had already worked out. The station would therefore operate in a fixed ‘pumping cycle”, drawing aether down into the ground in strong pulsations. Space aether flowed into the ground in a smooth flood. When his impulse transmitters accelerated the downward aether flow, large pulsations flooded the ground. On the surface, this appeared as growing power pulsations. The pulsations actually passed downward into and through the ground as body waves. These traveled with superluminal velocity within the subterranean depths. Aether impelled as pulsations of this kind did not cease moving. Indeed, a flow had been established
which, once induced, would not stop moving.

The impulse synchronization was the key to receiving and securing the natural aether flow. That impulse rate had to be exact and had to match the incoming pulsations. After this low-resistance condition had been established for the incoming pulsations, voltage was the key toward drawing in the space aether, Tesla calculated that a value of 100,000,000 Volts would be necessary to stimulate a sufficient influx. Super high aether pressures would therefore be applied into the ground, pulling on the elevated terminal. This powerful depressurizing
pull on the normal incoming aether flow above the station would draw aether in from the entire overlying space. Aether streams would gradually bend into the elevated terminal. The system would accommodate the normal space process by offering a non-resistant path for each incoming pulse. The selected pulse range was designed to appropriate the natural influx. A synchronized aetheric pulse train was to be “driven” by an application of station energy, into the ground. This pulse train would be provided at the rate of 150,000 pulses per second, impulses each being followed by a specific relaxation period.

The pulsation range which Tesla chose was one permitting maximum energy absorption for an attainable large size. The transmitter would be built to produce 150,000 aether pulsations per second, each impulse lasting for approximately (.0062 milliseconds). Calculations showed Tesla that this assembly volume would indeed bring in enough energy to demonstrate industrial potential. Besides proving that aether energy could literally drive the station, providing an eternal flow of power into the earth under controlled conditions, Tesla planned to show the distant reception of aether energy from his station. Receivers would be established at various long distances from the site, each being a model home or industrial plant. Tesla would prove to his antagonists, who incidentally were providing him with funds for the experiment, that aether power would replace fuel oil.

The first requirement Tesla demanded for an experimental station of this kind was elevation. He need to place his experimental station at a height far above any intervening natural structures. The second requirement was isolation. He needed absolute separation from cities and towns, indeed from all human life. This latter feature was a precaution against possible “accidents”. Tesla inferred that an uncontrollable process could develop during the experiment which he planning to undertake. Tesla was initially frightened that such a vast increase in local aether flux might have dire consequences if strict control features could not be found. His concern reached extreme levels, when calculations
showed him the possible results of his intended “experiment”. The highly focused aether streams which he was intending on drawing down would also bring increased bombardments of the local geology, and subsequent phenomenal effects which might get beyond his control. What effects’ Tesla fully anticipated that the artificially intensified aetheric flow might cause disturbances in the ground, bombardments whose released heat and electrical discharges might trigger rock shearing. Should he lose control of the aetheric influx, through inadvertent inability to moderate its unpredictable growth factor, the atmosphere might begin to “burn”.

What Tesla meant by this had nothing to do with chemical burning. He meant that the aetheric bombardment would begin a process of elemental dissolution, where atmospheric gases would be quickly converted into aether and other by-products. In such a nightmarish scenario, the atmosphere would be driven into the growing aether column, a mounting avalanche without control. He feared that, should such a sudden surge remove control from his hands, the station would, be destroyed. But this would not stop the cascading aetheric column, which would self-intensify itself to world-devastating potentials. He often published these intimations, mentioning the possibility that such
a sudden flux could “split the earth in half”. It was toward averting these fearful scenarios that he now applied his mind’s best efforts. He declared that the experiment would not be undertaken should no natural control process appear. Tesla realized that the flow of aether through his Transmitter would meet with a gradually increasing degree of resistance, when electrons began forming along the otherwise smooth path. This would soon choke the aether flow, causing an avalanche of electron manufacture. If not adequately handled, the growing electron flux would moderate and quench the reaction. While limiting the efficiency of his “aether engine”, other dangers could ensue. The ultimate result of this electron manufacture process would be a dangerous electrostatic condition which could kill. Once this process began, a charge-farming avalanche was inevitable. The accumulation of these charges could destroy the Transmitter itself. Should a means not be engineered to eliminate them from the area, the electron manufacture process would multiply itself quite rapidly and unpredictably. With unpredictably increased aether flow, the formation of dangerous blue-white electric sparks would begin discharging from the terminals and all parts of the Transmitter. Thus, before he undertook the large-scale experiment, he had already glimpsed his “control factor”. He had already found the very means for “moderating” the reaction. It was electricity itself Electricity, the retarding factor in his every experiment with pure aetheric energy, would provide the moderating influence. The “moderator” which Tesla so desperately sought, the blessing
and the curse, was electrical charge itself. How ironic that the very substance which he had so successfully eliminated in his circuitry, now returned as an agent of moderation to prevent a world catastrophe!

The problem demanded that a special automatic leakage system be established to rid the system of electrons as quickly as they appeared. It was during the “rest period”, one which followed each impulse, that the apparatus could discharge its excess electrons into the environment. In this way, a continuous absorption of aether, and elimination of electrons, could be sequentially arranged. In effect, the apparatus was a 2.stroke engine. Aether came in, electrons went out. Tesla did not wish to harvest and use the electrons. Eliminated to the environment in successive pulses, these most certainly produced a distinct species of slow subluminal waves in the ground. Balanced and flowing in
aether, the only problem central to the continuous operation of an industrial sized plant would be the safe discharge of excess electrons. He needed some kind of “automatic valve” which could leak the electrons away as quickly as they appeared. The elevated terminal would necessarily now be given a double function. Its large absorption area would appropriate the incoming aether pulses, but a second geometry would work to leak away excess electrons to the air. Tesla planned a double function in later designs which he patented. In this, dangerous electrons are harmlessly and cyclically “leaked off” into the air through the aerial terminal. A large metal shell with innumerable Stipples provided that aether would be absorbed, through the broad surface, while electrons would be dispersed, through the stipples. In the famed embodiment at Wardenclyffe Station, his first industrial Power Broadcaster, the final form of the terminal was to be an edge-rounded hemisphere completely studded with a great quantity of large Single terminal vacuum globes. Tesla observed some of these phenomena while yet in his Houston Street Laboratory, and considered several means for eliminating the problem. But here was the very factor which he had so long hoped to find, a means for insuring that Nature could indeed stop the reaction before it grew out of proportion to wreak world havoc. Engineers who studied his press releases and publications were fixated on the notion hat Tesla was intending to “pump the ground with electricity”, an error which has forever clouded the issues germane to comprehending his various World Power Systems. The fact which so few analysts have retained amid their many errors deals with that of “station disengagement from the utilities”. Freedom from utilities. Once such an aetheric “channel” had been stimulated through the Transmitter, it would be possible to disengage the apparatus from the electrical power source altogether. The system was made to simply flow in aether current. Once the flowing condition had been sufficiently
established, control factors being monitored and adjusted throughout the operation cycle, this system would work on aetheric energy alone. Forever. Such a technological marvel would stimulate a world revolution in power. His Transmitter would effectively become the literal duct or vent wherein such an aetheric channel would actually flow.

The system would be designed to absorb aether pulsations at an accessible natural pulse rate, and then disperse this energy through the medium of the earth at several other pulsation rates. Not only was the system to receive prime aether power, but it would also rebroadcast it through the ground in a host of related pulse rates for utility. Home and industry would receive aetheric current through the ground as planned, none of the pulsation rates interfering with the station operation. The plan was exquisite. The end of fuel. The only electrical application needed was the “initiation train”. But this plan required a large installation, one which would not be without its attendant problems.

AVALANCHE

Tesla chose his site atop a plateau in Colorado Springs, then a virtual pioneer town. At a height of 6000 feet above sea level, the site gave him the required elevation. Here also was sufficient isolation from populations. Placed in solid contact with the plateau tablerock. Tesla chose this geologically deep natural conductor to permit an unhindered downrush of aether, a secret he carried with him. Anticipating the undreamed, he moved all of his more mobile components to this site in May 1899, and began construction. His exertions were astounding. Once the station was complete, several tests would be necessarily conducted to affirm the circuit parameters in the geological site. The station parameters were built on what now appears to be a gigantic scale. The large housing structure was made of wooden beams, of dimensions nearly 100 feet on each side. The roof was nearly as high, reaching 80 feet, having a large sliding section for the elevation of various terminals and capacity surfaces (see figure).

The building was held up with large buttresses. Within this structure were the components of genius. The primary and secondary of the largest Tesla transformer ever built in history were wound, one above the other, upon an immense cylindrical wall of wooden construction, some 75 feet in diameter and 10 feet in height. An extra coil was poised in the very center of this cylindrical form, elevated on a stand several feet above the flooring. This extra coil had 75 widely spaced wire turns, being wound on a skeletal wooden cylinder. This extra coil was some 10 feet in diameter and 10 feet in height The elevated capacity terminal, a large wooden ball covered in tinfoil, was connected to this extra coil by a thick cable. Through the roof window, this cable rose to a height of 200 feet fixed to a tall wooden mast.

Tesla constructed a very ingenious capacitor bank, made of large water bottles. Salt water was poured into each to a fixed height connector rods fitted into the same. The entire assembly of jars were placed in a large tub of tinfoil, also filled with salt water to a depth of a foot or more. This electrolytic assemblage provided a formidable storage capacity, and was easily modified as well as cost-efficient. Power was provided by a large Westinghouse transformer. This power was used to drive a high voltage dynamo, providing some 50,000 volts DC. The dynamo was connected to a motor driven spark disrupter which provided a preliminary pulsation rate. Through choke coils, this preliminary
pulsing current was applied to a large magnetic disrupter. This in turn was applied to the capacitor bank and the large primary coil (see figure).

The first step in his process involved an initiatory “jump-start”. When the switch was closed, aetheric shockwave energy passed over the secondary, and flowed up into the elevated terminal. Transformed into the calculated potential 100,000,000 volts lasting for the calculated (0.0062 milliseconds), aether poured from space into the station during the interval. Each successive impulse was followed by its short but specific rest period, and the process was repeated for as long a time as deemed necessary. Some 150,000 groups of applied impulses and rest periods made up each second’s worth of initiation time. In the absence of discernible information from the notes which Tesla left us, this critical “rest period” is difficult to ascertain. Nevertheless it is an important lost piece of information necessary to the reestablishment of any such large-scale station.

The aerial terminal was so designed to absorb aether and discharge electrons in opposed cycles. The incoming aether energy would be handled by the various within the station, side branching circuits made to appropriate the pure pulsing energy, while converting it into various pulse rates for rebroadcast. The initiatory impulse would start the avalanche, the space aether flowing with gradually increasing intensity. Tesla would control and maximize the volumes of incoming aether until the flow became “permanent”. At first Tesla had difficulty balancing and establishing proper parameters. Eventually, however, the conditions which originally desired became a routine process. Tesla planned to train his operators in this art, having accepted several personnel to this end. One, Fritz Lowenstein, later was found to be a “spy” for one of his financial enemies. Tesla discovered this when several mysterious “accidents” occurred in the Colorado Springs Station.

During this testing period, Tesla encountered several phenomena for which he was not totally prepared or forearmed. In small preliminary tests, the primary aetheric pulsation produced “stationary waves”, fountains of white streamers which appeared instantly and which also grew to large proportions with time all around the activation site. Tesla mentioned the “standing waves” only when referring to the attendant slow electron waves, manufactured through the bombarding action of aether in the earth. The different names of each waveform related different processes, unforeseen phase interferences which Tesla encountered during his tests at the Experimental Station in Colorado. Problematic to the action of his system, these successive waveforms thus appeared at the station out of phase. Now, both aether waves and electron waves came back to their sourcepoint, the fact that Tesla quizzically mentioned to the press. When stating that “the earth behaves as a conductor of
limited extent”, he was not referring to the discovery that the earth can store electricity! He already knew this. He was referring to the problem of destructive interference, one of phasing among two contrary and mutually opposed wave species. This behavior of the “earth as a conductor of limited extent” was not a thrilling fact to Tesla. It was an annoying problem. He would have preferred a conductor of infinite extent, one in which all received aether power could be set free, along with the attendant contaminating electrons. Because the earth held onto the electrons so tenaciously, there were literal repercussions at the station which taxed his intellect far too much for his own pleasure.
Here was the situation. }Ether waves flowed with superluminal velocity from the station and into the earth proper. These were neutral pressure waves whose instantaneous movement through the ground was slightly slowed by resistance process. A continual lagging backflow of aether “pressure echoes” appeared at the station with unprecedented force. The application of aether to the ground brought a fountain-like condition to the station area. In the absence of appropriate elevated capacity, aether streams stood out of the ground vertically. These
were the “stationary waves” of which Tesla so often delighted to speak. These were the powerful aetheric emanations which offered humanity a new means for obtaining limitless power from outer space, and for rebroadcasting the same through the ground to any needed point. Aether waves are neutral pressures of enormous energetic potential. Opposed to the desired neutral aether pressure waves, there were those slow alternating electron waves. Electrons, developed by aether bombardment in the rocky crustal matter at the station, choked the otherwise continuous movement of aether pulses. But the aerial release of these from the system induced slow subluminal electrical waves
throughout the earth. The very presence of these completely interfered with the system. Fast downward aether pressure pulses were met by slow rising alternating electrical waves. The opposed pulsation of fast aether and slow alternating electron waves would destructively interfere with one another. Tesla referred to the aetheric phenomenon as “stationary waves”. He referred to the electronic phenomenon as “standing waves”. Stationary waves, instantaneous whitefire fountains. Standing waves, slow electron waves. Stationary waves occur in incompressible fluids. Aether is incompressible. Stationary waves are the charge-neutral products of pressured fluids in fixed conductors.
Stationary waves pulsate in a unidirectional manner. Standing waves are the result of alternating compressions and rarefactions, characteristic of electron currents in fixed conductors. Tesla knew that these two different waves could react, one upon another, in restricted ways. You will remember that he strove to separate aether streams from electrons. Electrons quenched aether streams by encapsulating and pinching them off. So long as electrons contaminated aether streams, only the gross electrons would dominate. Also, the concentrated aetheric streams actually manufactured electrons. Striking into already manufactured electron streams would Simply intensify the condensation process. A veritable electron avalanche would follow, the process so poised as to interfere destructively. Unless a proper relationship could be arranged between the two energy forms, one could not expect a highly efficient acquisition of aether power.

The difference between these two waveforms had been critical for Tesla to comprehend and rearrange. Only a Tesla could have balance the two contrary actions. It was ironically the slower electron waves which determined the tempo at which the system would operate, since these alterations would keep appearing long after the aether flow had begun its resonant rise. Tesla now calculated and readjusted the impulse-rest intervals so that the two opposed wave species would never destructively interfere. Timing was the critical key. Each would glide past the other undisturbed and non-interfering. The first full-scale tests of this experimental station took place throughout the month of July 1899. Tesla found that each groundward pulsation of the Transmitter brought such a volume of space aether down through the system
that it was difficult to control the exchange process. Once the aetheric draft had been successfully induced, charge formation could actually be utilized to slow and moderate the downward growing flood. Tesla always measured increased electron surges in his Transmitters. His aerial terminal bought in an unprecedented electron avalanche, measuring some 1100 amperes of the current. Indirectly this was a measure of aether flow, for it was aether which manufactured the electrons. This current increase demonstrated the continuous formation of charge in the metallic conductors of the Transmitter, the result of aetheric bombardments through the system. It was just as he had foreseen. This central problem which he encountered, and which he finally solved, became the usable solution to his first fears. The formation of electrical charges was being used now to slow the aether flow, which otherwise would continue growing out of control (see figure).

The Transmitter operated as an incredible Magnifier of aether. Tesla noted with fascination the fact that pulsations in the aetheric downpour seemed to formed a zone of ever increasing power. In this zone, successive aether pulses superimposed in a manner which was not usual. The growth characteristic of these pulsations provided an ever increasing supply, with the local zone surrounding the Transmitter becoming a site of strange effects. He found it indeed possible to disengage the Transmitter from the electrical power source after only a few seconds of application time, the proof encrypted and preserved in his cunningly captioned photographs.

Tesla spoke of two different waveforms, “stationary waves” and “standing waves”, when discussing the effects which his Magnifying Transmitter had produced in the earth. The “standing waves” related to the consequences of alternating charge waves stimulated by the successive aerial release of manufactured electrons. The “stationary waves” were wonderful phenomena of ground conducted ;ether currents. Once the stream began flowing through his system, magnification processes would draw in an ever increasing aether supply. The more “opened” the system became, the more aether would flow. He could moderate this aether avalanche with certain drive coils which slowed the rest intervals during which electrons were released. In this was, the aether would be limited from “going critical”.

The avalanche magnification factor would have to be strictly controlled by the station operator. Because aether was rarefied in the space above and around the station, a condition brought about by the downward pumping action, a powerful and dangerous response would result throughout the incoming stream. Working its way back out into space, the pulsations would force the supply streams to flow with greater force into the Transmitter. Because aether responds to Simple pressure laws, the Transmitter would ultimately summon responses
from its very source. A strange form of communication would this be possible between two very distant points, a communications technique which Tesla mentioned.

The stationary wave was an effect unknown in electrical science. It was unknown because electricity is a bipolar manifestation. Aether, being a neutral Radiant Energy, has more in common with gases. Densified aether streams were more like fluids. Stationary waves were a familiar feature in fluidics, where the application of streams to enclosed containers brought immense fountain like effects. Tesla played with the science critics when patenting an apparently banal design for a water fountain. In this ovoid shaped system, Tesla encrypted his stationary wave secrets. Years later, Victor Schauberger developed egg shaped vessels into which streams of water were introduced at high pressure.
The result cavitating turbulence produced frothing jets which emerged in pulsations. Stationary waves are produced when force is applied to an incompressible fluid which has been constrained within a fixed volume. The fixed volume of smoothly rounded containers rigidly hold fluidic pressure jets and produced enormous fountains. These fountains appear instantly with the very first application of pressure. The fountains emerge from the entrant orifice, unless otherwise arranged. The effect is illustrated with an ordinary sink which has been filled to a height with water. Drops which have been directed to specific parts of the water surface, at specific velocities, can raise a sudden thin
fountain high enough to strike one in the face!

Ether is neutral. Because of its electroneutrality, aether reflections produce no alternations. Aether reflections produce stationary waves, where geometrically fixed zones of streaming aether are observed. Tesla applied aether “blasts” into the ground. These blasts moved the aether reservoir already absorbed within the earth in an instantaneous pulse, resulting in a sudden aether fountain all around his station. The pulse traveled through the ground, unaffected by its encounter with various rock strata. Nevertheless, when this pulse finally reached a sufficient resistance, or change of mass density, the flow was sufficiently refracted to surge back up toward its source. The effect occurs instantaneously because earth absorbed aether is a dense and incompressible fluid. The entire effect thus derives from refraction effects in the variable resistance of earth rock.

The bunching action of aether, both entering the ground from above, and that rising from beneath, produced an overwhelming pressure rise in a fixed location. These waves were, in the Tesla lexicon, truly “stationary”. Rising up like a fountain of white light, they remained fixed to the station perimeter and “stationary”. In addition, it seems likely that Tesla discovered, natural “vents” where aetheric pressures persistently emerge. Such natural loci evidence strong upwelling gusts of natural aether which may be tapped at for power. These strange natural features explained why certain locations far from his station suddenly erupted with columns of stuttering white light. Indeed, many such
locations do exist across the world, places which flow at rare intervals with a white light. This phenomena is due to sudden natural cascades of space aether, an otherwise invisible downpour (see figure).

The “fountain effects” which surrounded his station are not responsible for the ever growing power observed by Tesla. This was the result of an incoming aetheric supply for which his Transmitter gave low-resistant passage. The incoming aetheric flow preferred the transmitter terminal to adjacent, more resistant rock. This gradual flow process soon evidenced itself in magnification effects, ever increasing volumes of flowing aether being measured in his system. Some have argued that Tesla merely stored energy in the earth, extracting it for use later. This is a basic error, the result of imagining the Colorado Springs experiment to be one consisting entirely of electrical effects (Grotz). It is in this light alone that we may comprehend the evident anomalous magnification of aetheric phenomena in his Colorado Springs photographs.

Once aether energy had been obtained from space, it had to be conveyed to consumers. Tesla had arrange for the automatic activation of aether rebroadcast circuits in the station. The downpouring aether were automatically shunted to side circuits through capacitors. In these side branches, aether pulsed through dielectrics and expanded over the surfaces of his smaller coils. Thus stimulated to more rapid pulsation rates, they were ready for “rebroadcast”. Being rebroadcast away from the station through large vacuum globes, poised on elevated platforms, these were the aetheric pulsations which would be utilized in home and industry. Simple and compact receivers would be established in every home and factory, set to receive aetheric current through the ground. Tests were thrilling. Distant appliances, lamps and motors, responded to the powerful pulsations as if physically connected to the station by wire. A small house-like structure was established some 26 miles away from the station. In it, an aetheric power receiver was tuned to one of the rebroadcast rates. The 200 lamps housed within this structure, each of 50 watts rating, all remained brilliantly illuminated throughout the lest runs. This apparently stimulated enough
excitement and concern for word of this development to get back east. Engineers were enraged. Those who had missed his most early shift from alternations to impulses, failed to comprehend the vast distinction between “stationary waves” and “standing waves”. The quizzical use of specific terms such as these was a Tesla trademark, one designed to puzzle the minds of those who criticized him the most. With the exception of a very few colleagues who continually made related discoveries in Aetherphysics, most academes had chosen to remain totally ignorant of the new study area. This for example was the case with the Teslian use of the term “frequency” and of “resonance”, words which had completely different meanings for Tesla. Teslian “frequency” refers to the repetition of pulses per second. Teslian “resonance” refers to
conditions in which aether flows with little or no resistance through systems, whether proximal or widely separated.

Photographs which Tesla sent to his “financiers” were analyzed and reexamined repeatedly from their encrypted meaning. None could decipher the cunning puzzle which Tesla had set before them. Tesla stated that photographs of the aetheric whitefire streamers required several minutes’ exposure time before registering the faintest sort of impression. Most of the plates were therefore the result of more than 20 minutes’ exposure lime. There are a very few plates which, though stated to be the result of “one brief switch closure”, are covered with dense, thick white streamers, One fraction of a second closure on the system switch resulted in a twenty minute or more aether avalanche. Magnifying Transformers continued discharging long after the initial impulse had been withdrawn.

AETHER POWER RECEIVERS

Tesla returned to New York exultant. He was about to establish a new world precedent. Venture capitalists were everywhere, looking for their opportunity to enter the “new energy” market. Unknown to Tesla, his station, its tower, the large coils, the capacitors, and all the other marvelous apparatus which demonstrated free aetheric power to the world had been acquired for demolition. Tesla Simply went forward, securing new funds from Morgan and others toward the development of a fully functional industry sized station in Long Island. Wardenclyffe Station. Wardenclyffe would be his greatest achievement. Here he would broadcast power to the world, along with a communications
network which could span the globe with innumerable available channels. Aether wave communications. Several stations would augment the power of this first station, from which he proposed to rebroadcast 10,000 horsepower. The Station, a wonderful visionary structure which dominated the view of Shoreham, Long Island was not quite complete before it too was seized by couri injunctions and torn down (see figure).

Tesla was summoned to appear in court. The amazing transcript of this proceeding has been secured by Mr. Leland Anderson, who has since published a wonderful treatise with this transcript as the centerpiece. Tesla said he wept when he saw the ruined tower in Wardenclyffe. The train ride back from Shoreham was filled with tears and the recounting of every tragedy which marked his life. But the dreams did not die there. In the absence of financial means to construct his gigantic stations, Tesla found ways to build small systems which accomplished the very same objectives. Replacing the large overhead capacity terminal with material substitutes, radioactive metals in combination
with other dense elements, Tesla was able to accrete and focus aether pulsations of super short duration.

Tesla was then plunged into a hellish time, where all but one would neither help or hear him. Dr. John Hammond requested Tesla to be the permanent guest on his family estate. There, amid the family life of Hammond Castle, Tesla shared his dreams and technology. Together, he and Dr. Hammond developed the science of robots and remote guidance. Tesla, impoverished by the inhuman treatment wrought on him by the financial establishment, was nonetheless quite alive and valuable to those having singular ambition to dominate the world radio trade. For a very long time, Nikola Tesla was considered “out of circulation”.

But later years turned a kindlier edge toward him. Long after his principle foe had died, others sought him out. Employed by the Rockefellers in their RCA venture, Tesla was given the task of restructuring the now failing Marconi System. David Sarnoff did not permit Tesla the dignity of working under his own name! Nevertheless it was Tesla, not Sarnoff, who redesigned the insufficient RCA radio systems to sufficiently tum a profit for the owners. It is significant that Tesla was not allowed to change the basic design from wave radio to radiant communication. What he achieved required certain strange conversions within the wave radio circuitry, intensifying radiant Signals until the operation
was much improved, and then converting the amplified signals back to waves once again. All of this was achieved within the chassis, certain of which are now being studied. These Tesla experimental models are typical of the Tesla style, containing no resistors or other such components. These models use simple transmitter tubes and employ a great number of symmetrically disposed conical air coils.

While working for RCA under the name “Terbo”, his mother’s maiden name, Tesla maintained his two penthouse suites atop the Hotel New Yorker. One penthouse was his living quarters, the other a full scale research laboratory. Tesla designed and built small compact and portable aether energy receivers, a developmental path which he pursued to his passing. Tesla had long investigated the use of pure dielectric field energy, a stream of aether whose individual pulsations were so very ultrashort that science had never found a means to harness the energy impulses. Tesla later held the opinion that dielectric current was composed of radiant particles, aetheric in nature. He therefore sought natural sources in which native dielectric fields could be used as they were, without the need for mammoth voltage “shocks” to stimulate aetheric currents. Tesla knew that if dielectric aether streams could be directly engaged, a true world of the future would be in his grasp. Furthermore, the mass-production of thousands and ten thousands of such power receivers would be an unstoppable army. An army of miniatures which could never be torn down. The implications were fathomless. Tesla had found a truly new and wonderful approach to an old problem. Once because his technology had not yet grown to the level where this was possible, he had to settle for impressing the naturally prolific aether streams with “extra” pulsations. The Transmitter method was costly, gargantuan, and an easy target for those who hated the notion of future world where dreams rule humanity. Dielectric energy fascinated Tesla. It was everywhere, a natural emanation whose potentials far out-proportioned conventional notions of power. Indeed, the early conception of natural radioactivity as an energetic source was nothing in comparison to the potential power inherent in dielectric streams. The new technology would use ultra-short pulsing aether streams, energies which occupied most of his latter press conferences in latter years. Study had convinced Tesla that the apparently smooth
and native force characteristic of dielectric field energy was actually a particulate flux, a succession of ultrashort impulses. The derivation of such an impulse train would solve all energy needs for eternity with an elegance far outreaching his own Magnifier Transmitter.

Of a truth, dielectric energy was a native source of incredible proportion and virtually eternal duration. Able to use such a kinetic source, one could dispense entirely with the Power Transmitters necessary in stimulating and impressing “extra pulsations” on the aether flow. Tesla often defined the dielectric field as a natural flow of aether particles, one which seemed impossible to utilize through lack of appropriate resistive materials. In order to obtain momentum from the flowing particles of a dielectric field, one required special matter poised in equally special symmetries. The otherwise continuous flow could be absorbed directly, being exchanged to utilities, appliances, and other applications.

Tesla had already considered the condition of charged particles, each representing a tightly constricted whorl of aether. The force necessarily exerted at close distances by such aetheric constrictions was incalculably large. Aetheric ponderance maintained particulate stability. Crystalline lattices were therefore places within which one could expect to find unexpected voltages. Indeed, the high voltages inherent in certain metallic lattices, intra-atomic field energies, are enormous. The close Coulomb gradient between atomic centers are electrostatic
potentials reaching humanly unattainable levels. By comparison, the voltages which Tesla once succeeded in releasing were quite insignificant. In these balanced lattices, Tesla sought the voltages needed to initiate directed aetheric streams in matter. Once such a flow began, one could simply tap the stream for power. In certain materials, these aether streams might automatically produce the contaminating electrons, a source of energy for existing appliances. One could theoretically then “tailor” the materials needed to produce unexpected aetheric power with or without the attendant detrital particles. Tesla did mention the latent aetheric power of charge forces, the explosive
potentials of bound aether, and the aetheric power inherent in matter. In these studies, Tesla sought replacement for the 100,000,000 volt initiating pulses which natural law required for the implementation of space aether. Tesla had long been forced to abandon those gigantic means by other, less natural laws.

Thereafter, Tesla shifted his attentions from the appreciation of the gigantic to an appreciation of the miniature. He sought a means for proliferating an immense number of small and compact aether power receivers. With one such device, Tesla succeeded in obtaining power to drive an electric car. But for the exceptional account which follows, we would have little information on this last period in Tesla’s productive life, one which very apparently did not cease its prolific streams of creativity to his last breath. The information comes through an unlikely source, one rarely mentioned by Tesla biographers. It chanced that an aeronautical engineer, Derek Ahlers, met with one of Tesla’s nephews
then living in New York. Theirs was an acquaintance lasting some 10 years, consisting largely of anecdotal commentaries on Dr. Tesla. Mr. Save provided an enormous fund of knowledge concerning many episodes in Tesla’s last years.

Himself an Austrian military man and a trained aviator, Mr. Savo was extremely opened about certain long-cherished incidents in which his uncle’s genius was consistently made manifest. Mr. Savo reported that in 1931, he participated in an experiment involving aetheric power. Unexpectedly, almost inappropriately, he was asked to accompany his uncle on a long train ride to Buffalo. A few times in this journey, Mr. Savo asked the nature of their journey. Dr. Tesla remained unwilling to disclose any information, speaking rather directly to this issue. Taken into a small garage, Dr. Tesla walked directly to a Pierce Arrow, opened the hood and began making a few adjustments. In place of the engine, there was an AC motor. This measured a little more than 3 feet long, and a little more than 2 feet in diameter. From it trailed two very thick cables which connected with the dashboard. In addition, there was an ordinary 12 volt storage battery. The motor was rated at 80 horsepower. Maximum rotor speed was stated to be 30 turns per second. A 6 foot antenna rod was fitted into the rear section of the car.

Dr. Tesla stepped into the passenger side and began making adjustments on a “power receiver” which had been built directly into the dashboard. The receiver, no larger than a shortwave radio of the day, used 12 special tubes which Dr. Tesla brought with him in a boxlike case. The device had been prefitted into the dashboard, no larger than a shortwave receiver. Mr. Savo told Mr. Ahler that Dr. Tesla built the receiver in his hotel room, a device 2 feet in length, nearly I foot wide, a 1/2 foot high. These curiously constructed tubes having been properly installed in their sockets, Dr. Tesla pushed in 2 contact rods and informed Peter that power was now available to drive. Several additional meters read values which Dr. Tesla would not explain. Not sound was heard. Dr. Tesla handed Mr. Savo the ignition key and told him to start the engine, which he promptly did. Yet hearing nothing, the accelerator was applied, and the car instantly moved. Tesla’s nephew drove this vehicle without other fuel for an undetermined long interval. Mr. Savo drove a distance of 50 miles through the city and out to the surrounding countryside. The car was tested to speeds of 90 mph, with the speedometer rated to 120.

After a time, and with increasing distance from the city itself, Dr. Tesla felt free enough to speak. Having now become sufficiently impressed with the performance of both his device and the automobile. Dr. Tesla informed his nephew that the device could not only supply the needs of the car forever, but could also supply the needs of a household “with power to spare”. When originally asked how the device worked, Tesla was initially adamant and refused to speak. Many who have read this “apocryphal account” have stated it to be the result of an “energy broadcast”. This misinterpretation has simply caused further confusions concerning this stage of Tesla’s work. He had very obviously succeeded in performing, with this small and compact device, what he had learned in Colorado and Shoreham.

As soon as they were on the country roads, clear of the more congested areas, Tesla began to lecture on the subject. Of the motive source he referred to “a mysterious radiation which comes out of the aether”. The small device very obviously and effectively appropriated this energy. Tesla also spoke very glowingly of this providence, saying of the energy itself that “it is available in limitless quantities”. Dr. Tesla stated that although “he did not know where it came form, mankind should be very grateful for its presence”. The two remained in Buffalo for 8 days, rigorously testing the car in the city and countryside. Dr. Tesla also told Mr. Savo that the device would soon be used to drive boats, planes, trains, and other automobiles. Once, just before leaving the city limits, they stopped at a streetlight and a bystander joyfully commented concerning their lack of exhaust fumes. Mr. Savo spoke up whimsically, saying that they had “no engine”. They left Buffalo and traveled to a predetermined location which Dr. Tesla knew, an old farmhouse barn some 20 miles from Buffalo. Dr. Tesla and Mr. Savo left the car in this barn, took the 12 tubes and the ignition key, and departed.

Later on, Mr. Savo heard a rumor that a secretary had spoken candidly about both the receiver and the test run, being promptly fired for the security breach. About a month after the incident, Mr. Savo received a call from a man who identified himself as Lee De Forest, who asked how he enjoyed the car. Mr. Savo expressed his joy over the mysterious affair, and Mr. de Forest declared Tesla the greatest living scientist in the world. Later, Mr. Savo asked his uncle whether or not the power receiver was being used in other applications. He was informed that Dr. Tesla had been negotiating with a major shipbuilding company to build a boat with a similarly outfitted engine. Asked additional questions, Dr. Tesla became annoyed. Highly concerned and personally strained over the security of this design, it seems obvious that Tesla was performing these tests in a desperate degree of secrecy for good reasons. Tesla had already been the victim of several manipulations, deadly actions entirely sourced in a Single financial house. For this reason, secrecy and care had become his only recent excess.

LEGACY

Dr. Nikola Tesla quietly passed away on January 7, 1943. Not many hours after his passing an official operation had been dispatched for the reclamation of all papers by Tesla. To this end, several figures of the National Defense Research Committee along with key members of the Office of Naval Intelligence. Several thousand complete technical transcripts were retrieved, the priceless work of his lifetime. Some 80 to 100 large boxes filled with such completed technical papers were retrieved in this operation. His safe was opened, and the contents removed. Of all the agencies, military or academic, it seemed strange that the Naval Research Laboratory should serve as prime recipient of this literary treasure house. It is said that Tesla acted as an unwilling consultant in the infamous Project Rainbow, a reason why perhaps Naval Intelligence would claim this priority.

Official statements concerning these papers essentially proliferate a rumor that these papers contained “nothing of worth”. Yet, attempts to retrieve them have been fraught with technical restrictions imposed by an agency which knows their true worth. One fact becomes ever clarified with increasing time. Tesla perfected a science which few yet comprehend or can appreciate. Only when judged against the rigid views held by electrical science, Teslian Technology appears to be an impossibility. In electrical terms, none of the famed Teslian claims can be supported.

Prejudicial in their views of Tesla, chiefly the result of ridicule heaped on him by a few envious members of The Royal Society,Tesla was viewed with increasing concern. Because these individuals did not comprehend the fact that Tesla had indeed abandoned all work on high frequency alternating currents, replacing this with an impulse technology, most continued to deride his work. Then, in order to rationalize what demonstrations they saw Tesla performing, an artificial battery of explanations was concocted from known electrical principles. This is why the contemporary failure to achieve goals Teslian has been so frustrating and enervating to all those who so engage. Such results
serve only to frustrate electricians, repel academicians, and tantalize military. Of these three, the latter knows the truth. The military forms the only core of professionals who know with absolute certainty that Tesla achieved what he claimed. How do they know this? The older remaining officers witnessed Tesla’s demonstrations. But this opens a new world of questions. Why had they not appropriated his work while he was available to develop his systems to full perfection? Why had they not given him the much needed laboratory equipment and staffing, in addition to the common courtesies of medical attention and better daily fare, to complete his work? But the truth will out. And only
the truth now remains. The rest is silence.
