Hi Gary,
I thought I would send you some more information on Tesla in hopes that
if you do post it to anyone else they give it some deep thought and
start delving into this vast region. I think we need many people to
explore this area, and a consensus needs to be formed.
Most of this should be researched by others in reading what has already been
written
on the subject, and there are books which have compiled papers written
by Tesla so this should save some time. However, along with valuable
information, there is also a fair amount of crap (written by others,
thrown in by the editors), and anyone researching should use thoughtful
discrimination.
First of all, as you posted information from the book "Secrets of Cold
War Technology", you see it being said that what people think they are
building when building a Tesla coil, is in fact a lodge coil. There is a
subtle difference.
To really understand a Tesla coil you have to think of energy
transmission in terms of sound propagation. Tesla once said something to
the extent of "the fact that electrical technology isn't being regarded
as sound mechanics, but as hertzian waves, has retarded its growth by
twenty years." This, of course, was said when he was alive. So how far
behind are we now?
I would also like to say at this point that Tesla wasn't against e=mc2.
Rather, he thought that formulas written by relativitists were a bunch
of cleverly cloaked mathematical lies. He (I believe) thought there was a
better and easier way of understanding the mechanics of the universe,
instead of the abstractions relitivitists put forth. He knew quite well,
as did many others, that when you apply energy to mass, it expands (or
its mass increases in volume) and that expansion soon results in the mass
contracting and releasing the energy it absorbed, as waves or other
locomotive forces(depending of course on how energy was applied to the
mass, and the path of least resistance which is inherent within the mass
itself). He even stated he proved that light was the result of expansion
and contraction principles. What he was against was relativistists
trying to merge mass and force together, trying to make them the same
thing.
(I, Gary, believe what the relativistists have been saying is that mass can
be changed to an amount of pure energy equal to the amount of mass times the
square of the speed of light in a vacuum. That has been experimentally
measured to be a true equivalent for some time. However, one of the things
that has been at the heart of the clash between mainstream physicists and
the "underground" physicists is that the speed of light has been measured to
have slight variations up to around five miles per second depending on the
time of the day and the orientation of the light beam with respect to the
stars. The published speed of light is actually an average of measurements.
When relativistists quote E = mc2, we have to turn right around and ask them
embarrassing little questions like which mass-energy equivalence are they
talking about? Oh, does the amount of mass changes a little too depending on
the time of the day? No, the mass should still remain the same no matter
what time of the day. Well, then, why should E = mc2 still hold?
If they say Yes, the amount of mass varies depending on the day so that
their precious little formula E = mc2 will still hold. Then we have to ask
the relativistists if the mass increases, where does the extra mass comes
from? They can't say the extra mass comes from the aether because they claim
that the aether doesn't exist.
Likewise, if the mass decreases, where does the mass go to?
Hal Fox reminded once that the equation E = mc2 and other relativistic
relations still have been very useful.
By the way, what has always fascinated me about E = mc2 is that c2 = the
reciprocal of the product of mu naught (permeability) and epsilon naught
(permittivity), which are respectively fundamental magnetic and electrical
properties of the vacuum.
I don't claim to be a professional physicist, but I remember seeing a paper
some time ago claiming that there are 22 errors in the physics held to be
true and dear by mainstream physicists.
So Tesla said that he was against merging mass and force together. Force is
defined to be mass times acceleration. Acceleration is the change of
velocity AGAINST SOME REFERENCE (my emphasis). I suppose Tesla was trying to
keep things simple, and the relativistists have been trying to make things
mathematically complicated BY ASSUMING THAT THE SPEED OF LIGHT IS CONSTANT
so they can go on an ego trip, beat on their chests, and show how brilliant
they are.
Back to Olson. Gary)
So, a true Tesla transformer is based on expansion and contraction
principles occurring within the structure of the coil, or coils.
Consider it this way: Find a rod of metal, preferably aluminum because
it emits a long and high pitched tone. Brass also works equally well, it
can be hollow or solid (hollow is best). Find the exact center and hold
in that place by in two fingers, and strike the object (once) hard and
fast. You will notice it emits a tone. What has happened is that you have
applied energy to the mass in the form of a hard shock. The mass absorbs
that energy and propagates that energy throughout the structure through
expansion and contraction.This is the way sound travels, through
molecules receiving the energy (expansion) and releasing the energy
(contraction). The tone being emitted is actually the structure
vibrating and, if you listen closely enough, you will hear the vibration
of the tone. Now if you struck the object very fast and very hard, no
tone would be emitted; rather, the structure wouldn't be able to handle
the energy being applied to it in that form, and depending on how much
energy was being applied to it (and accumulated (?), Gary), it would either,
snap, break, or
vaporize, if the energy content was strong enough. In fact Tesla did
experiments in this area with very high voltages whereby metal instantly
disintegrated.
If however you applied energy to the rod very, very fast, and very, very
lightly, and with the proper timing (this is paramount) the structure
upon receiving that first impulse would expand slightly, and then
contract. And because the structure is now energized, or moving at the
molecular or atomic level, when it receives the second impulse, its
momentum will increase, the effect becomes similar to pushing someone on
a swing. If timed right, the second (and subsequent) impulses being sent to
the structure,
and as the structure is contracting, will force the structure to expand
again, this time with a gain, as the structure now has momentum. This
process would keep continuing (IMPORTANT POINT HERE if the energy
impulses were light enough to cause no damage to the structure) until
the structure would become so energized, that the energy being applied
to it, has to go someplace else, via the path of least resistance. This
of course would be to the conducting air surrounding the transformer.
Now we get into the fluidic white streamers, so often talked about,
emanating off of the structure itself. Because the energy was applied,
for lack of a better word gracefully, and caused the structure to expand
and contract, again for lack of a better word harmonically, the results
are that the energy has been stored within, and without of the system,
almost
with no loss.
Quote from Tesla ..." the circuit acts like an immense pendulum, storing
indefinitely the energy of the primary exiting impulses, and impressions
upon the earth and its conducting atmosphere uniform harmonic
oscillations..."
Tesla originally used an alternator for his experiments in this area,
but people have said he departed from this and went to dc. I think he
may have still used an alternator, but converted the alternations to
unidirectional impulses. It is not hard to see why, although an alternator
is seen as efficient, having the energy you are trying to transform
alternate, would result in a loss of efficiency. People think Tesla
tapped the aether. I believe he created an aether, and at this point if
the aether really does exist, you can see how creating aether would
result in a direct path to the aether which is already everywhere, but
invisible.
(Remember my comment above about mass possibly increasing or decreasing very
slightly depending upon the time of the day just like the speed of light.
But then, just what does the time of the day have to do with the speed of
light? If mass goes up and down with the time of the day, is the object also
being subject to some kind of a resonating energy impulse train which also
varies with the time of the day? Gary)
Tesla's invention and discovery of this system was done long before his
experiments in Colorado, as noted in his American lecture in 1891. Tesla,
of course, found that high frequency resulted in better effects than
lower frequencies. That is, white light is composed of all vibrations of the
light spectrum.
Some quotes on the phenomenon some may find of some interest.
"when the frequency is extremely high, and the arc of the discharge
produces a very loud but smooth sound - showing that both oscillation
takes place and the sparks succeed each other with great rapidity - then
the luminous streams formed are perfectly uniform."
"With a coil not widely differing from the present, it is best to
connect the two primaries in multiple arc; but if the secondary should
have a much greater number of turns the primaries should preferably be
used in series, as otherwise the vibration might be too fast for the
secondary. It occurs under these conditions that misty white streams
break forth from the edges of the discs and spread out phantom-like into
space. With this coil, when fairly well produced, they are about 25 to
30 centimeters long. When the hand is held against then no sensation is
produced..."
Tesla used an alternator in these experiments capable of 10,000
alternations a second, and found this even to be of low frequency.
It is said as a result of his experiments (Mark Twain I believe noted )
that upon entering Teslas laboratory, Tesla threw a switch, and the
room light up with a soft pleasing sunlight glow, but the source of the
light couldn't be seen.
Quote
" in endeavoring to discover novel methods of producing light by the
agitation of atoms, or molecules, of a gas, we need not limit our
research to the vacuum tube, but may look forward quite seriously to the
possibility of obtaining light effects without the use of any vessel
whatever, with the air at ordinary pressure."
(Sounds like the makings of another neat prop for Las Vegas Strip casinos!
Gary)
And finally (for now) when considering the work of others in their
research into tapping cosmic forces consider the following from Tesla
" It is the original and irregular impulses which affect the instruments
; the superimposed vibrations probably pass unnoticed."
Take Care,
Michael
