Apparently he had a coil about 8 feet off the floor along the walls. Another coil placed at the same level would get current induced in it by the alternating current circulating in the loop. He published the work about resonant inductive coupling in the years 1891, 1892 and 1893. (Links stolen shamelessly from wikipedia.)

Imagine someone claiming a patent for a transformer.

No need to imagine it.

In a creepy lawful neutral fashion. The current reality is a bit more mercenary. Leaderless armies tending their wounded pan out doesn't seem that near. Might make more insular groups down the road.

Tesla's bad assery far exceeds the Tunguska myth. He figured out how to turn our great big ball of iron surrounded by an electrostatic atmosphere into a giant fucking power source. He knew burning fossil fuels was a bad idea 100 years ago before anyone ever conceived it would be an issue.

If we use fuel to get our power, we are living on our capital and exhausting it rapidly. This method is barbarous and wantonly wasteful and will have to be stopped in the interest of coming generations.

He was trying to hand us a solution to problems we didn't even have yet and give us technology not unlike the telecommunications we have today 100 years ago! He even told us how to fucking do it when he filed a patent on the process.

But hey, maybe these guys are on to his work and just needed a cover story to get funding for their own Wardenclyffe tower. One can only hope...

Note that this article predicts both the Internet and wireless technology, but with no mention of the digital aspects.

But he did. Telsa was the inventor of the AND logic gate. When computers started to catch on and research was done and people went to patent their inventions, some of them found out that Telsa already had the patents some more than 50 years earlier because he was already developing the same techniques while trying to control devices wirelessly. So, he did do that, it just wasn't mentioned in the article probably because it wasn't seen as important at the time and because it was quite simply beyond everybody else.

When Tesla developed weapons for the military and displayed them at a World's Fair, he demonstrated remote controlled submarines and torpedoes and tried to explain how both the submarines and torpedoes could be controlled and guided wirelessly by operators far away. In a time where a simply wireless system that allowed ships to talk to each other reliably, submarines, or torpedoes would have been a major military breakthrough, the army and navy just couldn't even comprehend what he was talking about let alone figure out how to use remote drones effectivly.

...and by the way - it was Marconi that invented most of what was later attributed to Tesla... and returned to Marconi only recently by world courts.

Actually, it's the other way around. Check your facts.

No, I didn't read them. I wasn't even going to glance at them, until I decided to reply. Why not? Nobody can do a detailed debunking of all the crap out there. You failed the first line of filters, for all the reasons I listed in my reply. Note that NONE of them involved whether or not your idea is or is not likely to work.

If you want to be taken seriously, drop the conspiracy theories, and drop the Tesla worship.

Now, as for your "references." Shall we go in order?

1. http://www.tfcbooks.com/tesla/1892-02-03.htm [tfcbooks.com] - no problem, it's only a quote from Tesla talking about what he thinks might happen someday. Tesla did some useful work, backed up by actual experiments. But this is purely a speculative quote. It has no relevance at all, except as an appeal to authority, a classic logical fallacy (which also hurts, not helps your argument).

2. http://www.energeticforum.com/renewable-energy/3545-konstantin-meyl-scalar-faraday-vs-maxwell.html - a web forum (already not a good start) run by an organization that features a "Statement of Faith" on their home page. This also hurts, not helps, any scientific argument you might have.

3. http://www.wbabin.net/physics/turtur1e.pdf - this appears to be a site designed to look kind of like a scientific journal. Of course, it's not indexed or recognized by any actual scientific authority. Again, the site itself features a revealing statement of purpose:

"Submisssion of papers by authors on a variety of scientific subjects identifies the major purpose of the site; an opportunity for public presentation of theories, etc. without prior and arbitrary assessment, criticism or rejection by the recipient. Judgement by the few runs counter to the spirit of scientific exploration. The internet provides a potential world of criticism and support. Authors who make their theories known in this manner will probably find both."

Ah, so there's no assessment, criticism or rejection. That's definitely an excellent, trustworthy source!

4. http://peswiki.com/index.php/Site:LRP:The_Deliberate_Curtailment_of_Nikola_Tesla's_Primary_Energy_Source - Some random wiki someone stuck up, again with no review of any kind. Oh, did I mention "someone" is none other than the guy who's paper it is? So basically it's just a web site that this guy put up to promote his own, entirely unreviewed, ideas. Complete with testimonials about what a genius he is!

5. Same as 4.

I'm sure any number of people who've skimmed over your post and (wisely) chosen to ignore it completely could dig into the details, sort out the purposefully confusing language and demolish them. But it would be a complete waste of their time.

Unlike most people, I have studied the subject of "free energy" quite substantially the past 2 years or so, and since I know quite a bit about the field, it is astonishing to read that people simply disgard the possibility of finding a clean, endless energy source because of "the laws of thermodynamics forbid perpetuum mobile". Yes, you can't create energy out of nothing, but that does not mean there aren't any energy sources that are free for the taking.

As a matter of fact, it has been known for more then a hundred years that in principle we can tap all the (electrical) energy we need out of the environment, or the vacuum, to be more precise. You see, mankind has known about a free energy source ever since JP Morgan financially crushed the great Nikola Tesla, who already wrote in 1892 (!):
http://www.tfcbooks.com/tesla/1892-02-03.htm

"We shall have no need to transmit power at all. Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point of the universe. This idea is not novel. Men have been led to it long ago by instinct or reason; it has been expressed in many ways, and in many places, in the history of old and new. We find it in the delightful myth of Antheus, who derives power from the earth; we find it among the subtle speculations of one of your splendid mathematicians and in many hints and statements of thinkers of the present time. Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic! If static our hopes are in vain; if kineticÃf"and this we know it is, for certainÃf"then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature."

It turns out that the basic theory our electrical engineers work with, the Maxwell equations, have been deliberately curtailed such that they won't allow "over-unity" devices nor the so-called "scalar waves" or longitudinal waves, which can be both electrical or magnetic.

Today, the German Professor Konstantin Meyl shows some remarkable experiments, based on a.o. Tesla's "magnifying transmitter", which show that scalar waves *do* exist and are much more effective then Herzian type of electro-magnetic waves:
http://www.energeticforum.com/renewable-energy/3545-konstantin-meyl-scalar-faraday-vs-maxwell.html

He also explains that the currently used Maxwell equations are actually a special case of his complete theory, based on vortexes. His theory can do without postulates like "black matter" and the like and also allows over-unity devices operating with scalar waves. Very interesting videos...

Another interesting researcher is Professor Claus Turtur, who a.o. calculated the energy density of the vacuum in his paper "Verification and Conversion of the Energy of the Zero-point Oscillations of the Vacuum" to be about 1 * 10^29 J/m3:
http://www.wbabin.net/physics/turtur1e.pdf

That's an awful lot of energy present in every qubic meter of space! If we can only retrieve a fraction thereof, we have all the energy we need.
Now that does not mean it's easy to do, but it's certainly waaaay to short around the corner to call this "impossible", "foolish" or anything like that.

Furthermore, Thomas Bearden shows how and why the Maxwell equations have been deliberately curtailed in order *not* to allow over-unity devices:

Oops. f***ed up the layout..

Too bad nobody seems to realise that we can our all the energy we need right out of the vacuum. The reason we don't do that is because we are being taught that that would be against the laws of thermodynamics, which isn't the case, and that has been known for over a hundred years, first of all by the mostly forgotten genious Nikola Tesla, as he wrote in 1892 (!): http://www.tfcbooks.com/tesla/1892-02-03.htm [tfcbooks.com]

Apparently, the story can be summarized as:

"But, back to our electric automobiles - in 1931, under the financing of Pierce-Arrow and George Westinghouse, a 1931 Pierce-Arrow was selected to be tested at the factory grounds in Buffalo, N.Y. The standard internal combustion engine was removed and an 80-H.P. 1800 r.p.m electric motor installed to the clutch and transmission. The A.C. motor measured 40 inches long and 30 inches in diameter and the power leads were left standing in the air - no external power

"What utter rubbish"

He was definitely on to something, e.g.:
http://home.earthlink.net/~drestinblack/generator.htm

I am only saying what I said because I am talking about Tesla. If there's one person who could have done it, it is him.

Nikola Tesla performed a transmission of electrical energy without wires at his Colorado lab in the early 1900s.

Don't ask me how to do it though (:

Just check this page for practical details on wireless power transfer.
Tesla 1904-1919.

http://www.tfcbooks.com/tesla/1919-05-00.htm

Do you have really tiny gallons there, or really long miles, or both?

Also, how about zero point fields? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy and http://www.calphysics.org/zpe.html

Wireless power has already come and gone... over a century ago!

Too bad they weren't doing this in Tesla's day.

>well, this just shows how little you know on the subject.

See, this just shows how stupidly pompously arrogant you are.

>Sorry, its TRANSISTORS that can't handle the current.

Oh. I guess that explains this then, right?

Since you probably can't read the datasheet, I'll let you in on what's important:

Collector Current (DC) = 25 A

That's just a cheapo $3 part. Imagine what a $30 part can do!

>Furthermore, EVERY high powered TV and Radio station you've ever heard of uses tubes for output amplification. So, take 700 WLW in cincinnati, outputting half a million watts. Thats all tubes.

Watts != current!

We learned this in GRADE 10 PHYSICS, for Christs' sakes!

Question: How many amps of current exit a small power generation station supplying 10 grids through high voltage mains (250,000 volts is typical)? The station is generating, oh, let's say 1,000,000 watts.

Let's do the math (why do I have to explain this again?)

P = I * V
I = P / V
I = 1,000,000 / 250,000
I = 4 amps.

But, why, you'll ask, does a power station do that?

Take a look at this AWG chart. Note how the wire is rated as ohms per feet.

Play about with those numbers in ohms law for a while.

Ahhhh. The answer hits you like a tonne of bricks.

So...

Tubes = High Voltage
Transistors = High Current

Now. Speakers = High Conductivity. That means high currents if you want to drive them with lots of power.

You do the math.

Impedance matching transformers? YUCK! Why the hell would you want to further distort the sound? At least transistor based amps can direct drive your speakers. The last thing I dealt with that used impedance matching transformers was a PA system, and it sounded worse than a drive thru speaker.

Nikola Tesla developed *wireless electricity* in 1900, and perfected it in 1904. He was able to illuminate lightbulbs around the world using a single power source in New York. Unfortunately, he couldn't get funding to roll it out nationally because there was no way to meter usage (and because it would upset the international power balance).

You are quite right about that, and the U.S. Supreme Court agreed. But, if you followed Tesla's biography, he didn't have any children, and so Marconi's descendants can make them more money, if only they'd sue.

Of course at that point, the next step is getting one of these in each home....

Wow that is a very good theory you have come up with. It's shame other people aren't as smart you ! ! !
