Introduction to Tesla's Science of Energy

Thomas Valone, Ph.D., P.E.

It is a great privilege to present this amazing collection of seminal articles, some of whichhave never been published before, on Nikola Tesla's science of energy. As I'm finishing myPh.D. thesis on utilizing zero point energy, I realized that Tesla probably acknowledged thesame energy reservoir when he referred to harnessing "the very wheelwork of nature."

Thevisionary scientists who have contributed to this anthology offer a collective argument of whatTesla meant by that phrase. Tesla also recognized that an atmospheric and a terrestrial storagebattery exists here on earth, just waiting to be tapped for the good of mankind. Therefore, thisis the wheelwork of nature that we want to explore in this book.The first section of this anthology offers some historical Niagara Falls material andbiographical information about the life of Nikola Tesla with the contributions of WilliamTerbo, the grand-nephew of Tesla, Keith Tutt, author of The Scientist, the Madman, the Thief & Their Light Bulb, and Dr. Andrija Puharich, whose unpublished biographical manuscript isrich with personal insights. Puharich, a Yugoslavian, also develops with great care, thebackground and unexpected uses for Tesla's Magnifying Transmitter (TMT). The secondsection is devoted to Tesla's wireless transmission of electrical power, as distinguished fromwireless telegraphy for which he is also famous. It is surprisingly practical, even today, as thebrilliant minds in this book prove. Tesla was at least a century ahead of his time, however, sopeople stole his ideas, left him penniless, and ignored his saintly concern for the human race. Ipray that as global community consciousness expands in the 21

st

century, Tesla's ideas aboutsharing energy with the whole world will be more understood and appreciated. The third andlast section has miscellaneous articles about a few of Tesla's less well-known inventions,including the two-rotor belted homopolar generator and an ozone generator.Today we are faced with the consequences of the fateful decision in 1905 by J. P. Morganto abandon Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower project on Long Island, once he learned that it wouldbe designed mainly for wireless transmission of electrical power, rather than telegraphy. He isreported to have complained that he would not be able to collect money from the customer inany feasible way. This mercenary attitude by the world's richest man forced the nation to payfor thousands of miles of transmission line wires, just so an electrical utility meter could beplaced on everyone's house. Today the U.S. Energy Association in Washington, DC trainsrepresentatives from the former Russian states how to reliably do the same in their countries.No one, except for the few great physicists like Drs. Rauscher, Corum, Bass, and VanVoorhies found in this book, has realized that Tesla was very practical when he proposed theresonant generation and wireless transmission of useful electrical power, after returning fromhis experiments at Colorado Springs in 1900. For example, Professor Rauscher shows that theearth's magnetosphere contains sufficient potential energy (at least 3 billion kilowatts) so thatthe resonant excitation of the earth-ionosphere cavity can reasonably be expected to increasethe amplitude of natural "Schumann" frequencies, facilitating the capture of useful electricalpower. Tesla knew that the earth could be treated as one big spherical conductor and theionosphere as another bigger spherical conductor, so that together they have parallel platesand thus, comprise a "spherical capacitor." Dr. Rauscher calculates the capacitance to beabout 15,000 microfarads for the complete earth-ionosphere cavity capacitor. W.O. Schumann
