what's stopping some rogue nation from doing this on their land, and giving free power to the entire planet? it would topple the oil corporations and middle east oil countries? utterly destroy the markets for energy products and destroy anyone reliant on those markets

Wireless electricity? Yes it would have worked but was it practical? Fuck no. Sending a practical amount of electricity through the air alone without any type of conductive agents saturated into the air like increasing the H2O content, to power a device like a television or a fan, you'd need to have the wireless tower shoot literal lightning bolts into the air, across a huge amount of distance, then to your device which has to have an antenna that is high enough to reach the electrical field in the air to efficiently absorb it.

Even if that was perfected there would be massive shortcomings to wireless electricity. Devices that rely on radio waves would be jammed, animals would be freaked out due to their magnetic biological compass (check out the cows grazing regularly point north-south) being fucked up by a field of electricity covering a few miles distance, and it would be very dangerous to build, use, and maintain.

Death Rays might actually be microwaves on extreme steroids so it's possible. Not practical of course.

His wireless electricity absolutely did work. Efficiency was not perfect, but it was good for what it was at the time.

>> No.10733024

He was a genius and yes they worked! He wanted the world to have it, and yet in the end decided not to give it to all! Decided and hoped in the future it will be used for prosperity of all!

He was persistent, unless he changed his mind with good reason surly!

Look into his eyes. What a joke. I bet he gave plenty of the broads of his day the T.

It seems like people just wanted this Freudian Newton parallel slapped on him.

If it DID work, could it be retooled to be made safe?
Given current global warming, I think that bares reexamining.

>>research estimates that an approximately 38,000 square mile installation of solar panels in a desert near the equator could generate enough power to serve the world’s electricity needs

You could solve Global Warming with only TWO photovoltaic power plants on opposite sides of the globe. Each broadcasting enough power for every human on earth. Each one always in the sunlight. No need for batteries. No need for energy storage. It would solve global warming. Even if it causes cancer, it would solve global warming. I think it deserves asking the question, how much cancer? and is it better than the global warming option?

Obviously the brute force way of pumping shit ton of energy into the atmosphere would cause cancer. But did Tesla discover some clever way using resonance or some other clever method that a normal person wouldn't think of??

basically his greatest discovery was how to naturally amplify frequencies by somehow syncing them to what he called the natural esonant electromagnetic radiative frequencies of the earth. lad was on some wild grass

I'm not sure how I feel about Elon's Starlink, but .... could Wardenclyffe or something like it power low earth orbit satellites? with a wireless power sources they could be much more powerful and maybe have enough juice to correct their orbit so they'd stay up there longer than a couple of years.

they totally do.

Einstein (a.k.a. Samuel Clemens) was the fraud, payed by J.P. Morgan and Edison to keep tesla in the shadows so his ideas could be stolen.

isn't that because of the sun rather than magnetic fields though

That does correlate lol. And the other possibility of facing away from the wind while eating.


A better example will be the magnetic sense that fish/birds have. If a strong and massive electric field were to be present in the general vicinity it would prevent, say trout or salmon/loons or geese from returning to their original spawning pools/mating groves.

A counter argument to that would be China. They have enough of a military and nuclear stockpile to deter any quick invasions, and an intelligence apparatus sophisticated enough to make assassinations difficult, but the PRC's biggest stategic weakness is the fact that it needs to import 2/3rds of its oil, mostly from African & Middle Eastern countries. It will be decades before the PLAN can challenge the US Navy that far away from its own shores. If there was some magic energy tranfer tech they would be on it like a Chinaman on fried cat. Its not like they care about American oil company profts; they had no problems cutting off major corps like Google & Facebook.

the "plans" are probably already out there, but thy have recieved no attention due to a combination of cencorship and laziness leading to no implementation. They're pretty complicated, and likely fake, so why would anyone go through the trouble? If you would, then go through tesla's patents yourself.

back then everyone saw electricity differently. this was the 19th century remember, they had a completely different understanding of the world to what we do today, incorporating concepts like the aether and all that.
If you want to understand tesla, you have to go back to the basics and learn about electricity through the eyes of it's inventors. It's actually very simple.
