Ten Inventions of Nikola Tesla That Changed The World 
Nikola Tesla is finally beginning to
attract real attention and encourage serious debate nearly 70 years
after his death. Was he for real? A crackpot? Part of an early
experiment in corporate-government control?
We know that he was undoubtedly
persecuted by the energy power brokers of his day — namely Thomas
Edison, whom we are taught in school to revere as a genius. He was also
attacked by J.P. Morgan and other “captains of industry.” Upon Tesla’s
death on January 7th, 1943, the U.S. government moved into his lab and
apartment confiscating all of his scientific research, some of which has
been released by the FBI through the Freedom of Information Act. (I’ve
embedded the first 250 pages below and have added a link to the .pdf of
the final pages, 290 in total).
Besides his persecution by
corporate-government interests (which is practically a certification of
authenticity), there is at least one solid indication of Nikola Tesla’s
integrity — he tore up a contract with Westinghouse that was worth
billions in order to save the company from paying him his huge royalty
payments.
But, let’s take a look at what Nikola
Tesla — a man who died broke and alone — has actually given to the
world. For better or worse, with credit or without, he changed the face
of the planet in ways that perhaps no man ever has.
1. Alternating Current —
This is where it all began, and what ultimately caused such a stir at
the 1893 World’s Expo in Chicago. A war was leveled ever-after between
the vision of Edison and the vision of Tesla for how electricity would
be produced and distributed. The division can be summarized as one of
cost and safety: The DC current that Edison (backed by General Electric)
had been working on was costly over long distances, and produced
dangerous sparking from the required converter (called a commutator).
Regardless, Edison and his backers utilized the general “dangers” of
electric current to instill fear in Tesla’s alternative: Alternating
Current. As proof, Edison sometimes electrocuted animals at
demonstrations. Consequently, Edison gave the world the electric chair,
while simultaneously maligning Tesla’s attempt to offer safety at a
lower cost. Tesla responded by demonstrating that AC was perfectly safe
by famously shooting current through his own body to produce light.
This Edison-Tesla (GE-Westinghouse) feud in 1893 was the culmination of
over a decade of shady business deals, stolen ideas, and patent
suppression that Edison and his moneyed interests wielded over Tesla’s
inventions. Yet, despite it all, it is Tesla’s system that provides
power generation and distribution to North America in our modern era.
2. Light –
Of course he didn’t invent light itself, but he did invent how light
can be harnessed and distributed. Tesla developed and used florescent
bulbs in his lab some 40 years before industry “invented” them. At the
World’s Fair, Tesla took glass tubes and bent them into famous
scientists’ names, in effect creating the first neon signs. However, it
is his Tesla Coil that might be the most impressive, and
controversial. The Tesla Coil is certainly something that big industry
would have liked to suppress: the concept that the Earth itself is a
magnet that can generate electricity (electromagnetism) utilizing
frequencies as a transmitter. All that is needed on the other end is
the receiver — much like a radio.
3. X-rays — Electromagnetic
and ionizing radiation was heavily researched in the late 1800s, but
Tesla researched the entire gamut. Everything from a precursor to Kirlian photography,
which has the ability to document life force, to what we now use in
medical diagnostics, this was a transformative invention of which Tesla played a central role.
X-rays, like so many of Tesla’s contributions, stemmed from his belief
that everything we need to understand the universe is virtually around
us at all times, but we need to use our minds to develop real-world
devices to augment our innate perception of existence.
4. Radio —
Guglielmo Marconi was initially credited, and most believe him to be
the inventor of radio to this day. However, the Supreme Court
overturned Marconi’s patent in 1943, when it was proven that Tesla
invented the radio years previous to Marconi. Radio signals are just
another frequency that needs a transmitter and receiver, which Tesla
also demonstrated in 1893 during a presentation before The National
Electric Light Association. In 1897 Tesla applied for two patents US
645576, and US 649621. In 1904, however, The U.S. Patent Office reversed
its decision, awarding Marconi a patent for the invention of radio,
possibly influenced by Marconi’s financial backers in the States, who
included Thomas Edison and Andrew Carnegie. This also allowed the U.S.
government (among others) to avoid having to pay the royalties that were
being claimed by Tesla.
5. Remote Control — This invention was a natural outcropping of radio. Patent No.613809 was
the first remote controlled model boat, demonstrated in 1898.
Utilizing several large batteries; radio signals controlled switches,
which then energized the boat’s propeller, rudder, and scaled-down
running lights. While this exact technology was not widely used for some
time, we now can see the power that was appropriated by the military in
its pursuit of remote controlled war.
Radio controlled tanks were introduced by the Germans in WWII, and
developments in this realm have since slid quickly away from the
direction of human freedom.
6. Electric Motor — Tesla’s invention of the electric motor has finally been popularized by a car brandishing
his name. While the technical specifications are beyond the scope of
this summary, suffice to say that Tesla’s invention of a motor with
rotating magnetic fields could have freed mankind much sooner from the
stranglehold of Big Oil. However, his invention in 1930 succumbed to
the economic crisis and the world war that followed. Nevertheless, this
invention has fundamentally changed the landscape of what we now take
for granted: industrial fans, household applicances, water pumps,
machine tools, power tools, disk drives, electric wristwatches and
compressors.
7. Robotics —
Tesla’s overly enhanced scientific mind led him to the idea that all
living beings are merely driven by external impulses. He stated: “I
have by every thought and act of mine, demonstrated, and does so daily,
to my absolute satisfaction that I am an automaton endowed with power of
movement, which merely responds to external stimuli.” Thus, the
concept of the robot was born. However, an element of the human
remained present, as Tesla asserted that these human replicas should
have limitations — namely growth and propagation. Nevertheless, Tesla
unabashedly embraced all of what intelligence could produce. His
visions for a future filled with intelligent cars, robotic human
companions, and the use of sensors, and autonomous systems are detailed
in a must-read entry in the Serbian Journal of Electrical Engineering, 2006 (PDF).
8. Laser —
Tesla’s invention of the laser may be one of the best examples of the
good and evil bound up together within the mind of man. Lasers have
transformed surgical applications in an undeniably beneficial way, and
they have given rise to much of our current digital media. However, with
this leap in innovation we have also crossed into the land of science
fiction. From Reagan’s “Star Wars” laser defense system to today’s Orwellian “non-lethal” weapons’ arsenal,
which includes laser rifles and directed energy “death rays,” there is
great potential for development in both directions.
9 and 10. Wireless Communications and Limitless Free Energy —
These two are inextricably linked, as they were the last straw for the
power elite — what good is energy if it can’t be metered and
controlled? Free? Never. J.P. Morgan backed Tesla with $150,000 to
build a tower that would use the natural frequencies of our universe to
transmit data, including a wide range of information communicated
through images, voice messages, and text. This represented the world’s
first wireless communications, but it also meant that aside from the
cost of the tower itself, the universe was filled with free energy that
could be utilized to form a world wide web connecting all people in all
places, as well as allow people to harness the free energy around them.
Essentially, the 0’s and 1’s of the universe are embedded in the fabric
of existence for each of us to access as needed. Nikola Tesla was
dedicated to empowering the individual to receive and transmit this data
virtually free of charge. But we know the ending to that story . . .
until now?
Tesla had perhaps thousands of other ideas and inventions that remain unreleased. A look at his hundreds of patents shows
a glimpse of the scope he intended to offer. If you feel that the
additional technical and scientific research of Nikola Tesla should be
revealed for public scrutiny and discussion, instead of suppressed by
big industry and even our supposed institutions of higher education,
join the world’s call to tell power brokers everywhere that we are
ready to Occupy Energy and learn about what our universe really has to
offer.
The release of Nikola Tesla’s technical
and scientific research — specifically his research into harnessing
electricity from the ionosphere at a facility called Wardenclyffe — is a
necessary step toward true freedom of information. Please add your
voice by sharing this information with as many people as possible.
For additional information about the demand for release, or to use as a template to form your own demand, please visit:http://releaseteslasresearch.weebly.com/
As they state:
Tell your friends, bring it up and discuss it at your next general assembly, do whatever you can to get the word out, organize locally to make a stand for the release of Nikola Tesla’s research…. America is tired of corrupt corporate greed, supported by The American government, holding us back in a stagnant society in the name of profit . . . The Energy Crisis is a lie.
As an aside: there are some who have
pointed out that Tesla’s experimentation with the ionosphere very well
could have caused the massive explosion over Tunguska, Siberia in 1908, which leveled an estimated 60 million trees over 2,150 square kilometers, and may even have led to the much maligned HAARP technology.
I submit that we would do well to remember that technology is never the
true enemy; it is the misuse of technology that can enslave rather than
free mankind from its animal-level survivalist.
Please view the video below, which does
an excellent job at personalizing this largely forgotten human being, as
well as show the reasons why to this day he is not a household name.
