Nikola Tesla and the Wireless Transmission of Power
Introduction
MIT researchers transmitted power wirelessly 7 feet across a room in 2007.
Nikola Tesla envisioned a world of wireless power over a century ago and made significant progress in his experiments in Colorado Springs (1899-1900).
Tesla's Experiments in Colorado Springs
Tesla aimed to send electricity miles using wireless technology.
Conducted experiments to light bulbs inserted into the earth to test wireless circuits.
Successfully transmitted electrical power over great distances.
Kept the mechanics and details of his experiments secret.
Wardencliff Tower
Built using funding from JP Morgan under the guise of a radio station.
Tower was 187 feet tall with an additional 120 feet underground.
Intended for wireless power transmission across the Earth and possibly other planets.
Project abandoned in 1908 due to lack of funding when JP Morgan learned of Tesla's true intentions (free power).
Tower demolished in 1917.
Tesla's Vision and Intuition
Tesla experienced intense flashes of light followed by creativity and clarity.
Saw inventions in holographic detail and conceptualized them fully in his mind.
Developed theories like the rotating magnetic field through these visions.
Felt that humans acted as receivers, processing impulses from outside sources.
Speculations on Extraterrestrial Influence
Some theorists believe Tesla’s intense visions were from an otherworldly source.
Tesla might have been in contact with extraterrestrials, receiving knowledge and inventions.
In Colorado Springs in 1899, Tesla received unknown transmissions while tracking storms.
Believed these signals were extraterrestrial communications and became obsessed with trying to receive further messages.
Published article in 1901 expressing belief in extraterrestrial intelligence.
Anti-Gravity and Spaceships
Tesla Museum houses documents showcasing Tesla's future plans, including possible spaceship designs.
Tesla theorized high amounts of electricity could create lift (anti-gravity).
Talked about anti-gravity ships throughout the 1920s and 30s, capable of deriving power from broadcast facilities like Wardencliff Tower.
Iron Beam Defense System
Israeli company revealed a laser defense system named Iron Beam in 2014, reminiscent of Tesla's death ray concept.
Designed to destroy missiles and projectiles with high-energy bursts.
Similar technology Tesla discussed in the 1920s and 30s was not pursued in favor of nuclear weaponry.
Tesla's Legacy
Considered by some to be unfairly treated and largely removed from the history of quantum physics.
Possible connection with extraterrestrials remains a subject of speculation.
Many believe Tesla felt he was part of a grander universal plan.
His unacknowledged work could have revolutionized energy and transportation, possibly creating a utopian society.
Conclusion
Tesla's innovations and visions continue to intrigue and inspire, envisioned a future of free wireless power and advanced technology.
Legacy marred by controversies and speculative connections to extraterrestrial influences.
