The Big Stink Guide - Nikola Tesla

While walking in Budapest Park, Hungary, Nikola Tesla had seen a vision of a functioning alternating current (AC) electric induction motor. This was one of the most revolutionary inventions in the entire history of the world.

Before coming to the U.S., Nikola worked for about a year for the French branch of the Edison Electric Light Co. The U.S. manager of the French branch of the Edison Company advised him to seek his fortune in the New World.

At that time, the most important "inventor" in the world was named Thomas Alva Edison—the so-called wizard of Menlo Park.... Edison was credited with the invention of the DC dynamo and the electric light bulb . . . but the only thing he really invented was the ELECTRIC CHAIR.

Edison was locked into direct current and would not change for anything. DC had very severe limitations, and was not practicable for long distance electrical transmission. Every home would have to have a huge dynamo installed in the basement to light the house. A tool of Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan, Edison fought Tesla's system with hellish fury.

Almost immediately after entering the U.S., Tesla went to work for Edison. Edison set him to work fixing the many problems with DC dynamos. Tesla had remarkable mechanical and electrical ability, and Edison promised him $50,000 if he could fix a particularly perplexing problem with a dynamo. Tesla worked for many months and finally the problem was solved. Did Edison keep his promise and pay him for all his hard work?. . . absolutely not....Tesla quit the Edison Company in disgust.

In 1888, Tesla held a lecture before the U.S. Institute of Electrical Engineers in New York City. This lecture brought his alternating current system before the world at last. In spite of all the advantages of the AC system, Edison refused to acknowledge its superiority over his system, and inventor George Westinghouse of Pittsburgh came to his rescue. As a matter of fact, Edison sulked like a spoilt child, and started what became known in U.S. history as the War of the Currents, or the battles between AC and DC.

Westinghouse offered to buy all the AC patents from Tesla for the staggering sum of 1 million dollars cash and royalties of $1.00 per horsepower of electricity produced. In 1895, the Westinghouse Company and Nicola Tesla built the first hydroelectric alternating current system at Niagara Falls. Tesla was determined that the awesome power of the Falls should be harnessed to the awesome power of polyphase alternating current.

By 1897, the War of the Currents between AC and DC or between Westinghouse and Edison continued unabated. Huge mergers took place between J. P. Morgan and Rockefeller controlled companies like Thomson-Houston and Edison General Electric to form the present day General Electric Company. This new General Electric Company tried to take over Westinghouse and force them to abandon AC. They insisted that Westinghouse STOP paying royalties to Tesla.

Tesla tore up his royalty contract with George Westinghouse in order to save his company from bankruptcy and the AC system from destruction. Tesla stood to lose over 12 million dollars in royalty payments. Westinghouse called on Tesla, meeting him in the same South 5th Avenue laboratory where he had purchased the patents four years before. "Suppose I should refuse to give up my contract; what would you do then?" asked Tesla. "In that event you would have to deal with the bankers, for I would no longer have any power in the situation," Westinghouse replied. "And if I give up the contract you will save your company and retain control so you can proceed with your plans to give my polyphase system to the world?" Tesla continued. Westinghouse explained. "It was my efforts to give it to the world that brought on the present difficulty, but I intend to continue, no matter what happens, to proceed with my original plans to put the country on an alternating current basis."

In 1899, in Pike's Peak, Colorado, Tesla demonstrated the feasibility of transmitting electricity through the earth without the use of wires. He also discovered that tremendously destructive forces could be unleashed in the earth by means of uncontrolled electrical resonance.

When Tesla had demonstrated the feasibility of his wireless power system, he rushed back to New York to begin construction on a transmitter located at Wardenclyffe, Long Island, New York. Tesla stayed at the Waldorf Astoria hotel and commuted to his laboratory in downtown Manhattan. The hotel was owned by millionaire John Jacob Astor IV who was a close friend and financier of Tesla. When he heard that his researches were being halted through lack of funds, he made available to Tesla $30,000.

Astor was lured aboard the Titanic and perished on her maiden voyage. The White State line was owned by J.P. Morgan. At the last moment, Morgan decided not to sail on his ship. Tesla was now at the mercy of Morgan and his wireless system was sunk too.

Up to the year 1900, most scientists believed in what was called the luminiferous ether or simply the ether. This was simply space or the invisible medium that carries electromagnetic waves. The famous Michelson-Morley experiment of 1887 showed no movement of the earth through the ether. So what did the "scientists" do?....They simply got rid of the ether and stated that it did not exist and that was the reason for the NULL results in the experiment. This necessitated the invention of Albert Einstein and his BIZARRE theories of the universe without an ether.

Tesla had nothing but contempt for the "physics" of Einstein. He absolutely believed in the ether and the possibly of taking electricity out of this ether without splitting the atom and causing dangerous radiation. He knew that his system of wireless transmission harnessed to Niagara Falls would provide all the safe, clean power that was necessary to run the modern industrial world.

After the AC induction motor, we think that the greatest invention of Tesla was the electric car. This was no ordinary battery driven car because this car took its power from the ether, just like an automobile antenna picks up radio waves from the ether.

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 AC motor measured 40 inches long and 30 inches in diameter and the power leads were left standing in the air—no external power source and no recharging of any batteries was necessary.

At the appointed time, Nikola Tesla arrived from New York City and inspected the Pierce-Arrow automobile. He then went to a local radio store and purchased a handful of tubes (12), wires and assorted resistors. A box measuring 24 inches long, 12 inches wide and 6 inches high was assembled housing the circuit. The box was placed on the front seat and had its wires connected to the air-cooled, brushless motor. Two rods 1/4" in diameter stuck out of the box about 3" in length.

Mr. Tesla got into the driver's seat, pushed the two rods in and stated, "We now have power". He put the car into gear and it moved forward! This vehicle, powered by an AC motor, was driven to speeds of 90 m.p.h. and performed better than any internal combustion engine of its day! One week was spent testing the vehicle. Several newspapers in Buffalo reported this test. When asked where the power came from, Tesla replied, "From the ether all around us".

The 3 stooges Morgan, Rockefeller, and Ford had to sabotage his idea at all costs....No air polluting gasoline engine meant no oil monopoly for Rockefeller and the Standard Oil Company. No oil monopoly meant no excuse for Rockefeller to own the U.S. government, and no excuse to be involved in foreign countries . . . especially those surrounding Russia.

Tesla was never married and had no direct heirs. He left no will, so all his papers were seized by the FBI and shipped to Washington City where they were classified as TOP SECRET. His inventions were later to become the bases for the weapons of mass destruction developed by the Pentagon.

About June 30, 1908, a huge explosion destroyed over 1,000 miles of a very remote and sparsely inhabited region of central Siberia.

The exact date of the event is very uncertain because nobody from the outside reached the region until 1927.

His wireless transmission tower was located on Long Island, New York. Tesla had 3 objectives for his tower:

Worldwide wireless communication.
Worldwide transmission of electricity.
A shield to protect the U.S. from foreign invasion.

Tesla was a man of peace and he envisioned using electricity as a SHIELD to protect any nation from an invading force . . . and thus end all wars....To accomplish this he designed a PEACE RAY which the media quickly dubbed a DEATH RAY. Tesla's tower could produce 100 billion watts of electricity. Tesla begged J. P. Morgan for money to finish his masterpiece yet none was forthcoming. Finally, in desperation, Tesla decided to give the world a peaceful demonstration of the power of his awesome invention.

With Morgan pulling the plug on his finances and threatening to end free electricity for the world, Tesla was desperate to save his tower and its threefold purpose. It just so happened that about that time an arctic explorer named Robert Peary was about to leave for the North Pole. Tesla saw this as a most advantageous and probably last chance to test his Wardenclyffe PARTICLE BEAM or PEACE RAY. The North Pole was uninhabited so there would be no loss of life when he aimed his PARTICLE BEAM at the frozen tundra.

Tesla contacted Peary before he left New York and asked him to observe any unusual phenomena on his journey to the North Pole. After Tesla fired his particle beam, he waited anxiously for some communication from Peary. Peary had nothing to report because Tesla overshot the target. This was very unlike the great genius Tesla because he definitely was not a trial and error inventor.

The very intelligent Russians soon put two and two together and approached Tesla to acquire his technology. Tesla offered his invention to the U.S. government first but they turned him down. Later, he offered it to the British but they showed no interest in a weapon that could annihilate any invading army or air force.

To protect themselves from a sneak nuclear attack by the madmen in the Pentagon, the Russians developed defensive weapons based on Tesla's technology. Beginning in the 1960s, the Soviet Union conducted a substantial research program to develop a defense against ballistic missiles. The Soviets built, and Russia continues to maintain, the world's only operational anti-ballistic missile system. Additional programs focused on the development of other ground—and space-based weapons using laser, particle beam, and kinetic energy technology.

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was the genius who lit the world, whose discoveries in the field of alternating polyphase current electricity advanced the United States and the rest of the world into the modern industrial era. Nikola Tesla had 700 patents in the US and Europe. Tesla's discoveries include the Tesla Coil, fluorescent light, wireless transmission of electrical energy, radio, remote control, discovery of cosmic radio waves and use of ionosphere for scientific purposes.

The World Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893 was the World's Fair commemorating 400 years since Chrstopher Columbys set foot in the New World. This was the first great victory of Tesla's Alternating Current Electricity. Tesla and George Westinghouse made the Exposition a spectacular display of lights and energy.

Nikola Tesla's name has been honored with the international unit of magnetic flux density called "Tesla". All magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines are calibrated with Tesla Unit (from .2 Tesla to 9 Tesla). MRI machines work on the principle of a homogeneous magnet field. Nikola Tesla discovered the Rotating Magnetic Field in Budapest, 1882.

Transmitting Tesla Tower and Laboratory built in 1901-1905 by Stanford White, famous architect and Tesla's friend. Located in Wardenclyffe, Long Island. This was to be the first broadcasting system in the world. Tesla also wanted to transmit electricity from this Tower to the whole globe without wires using the Ionosphere. The source of the transmitted electricity was to be the Niagara Falls power plant. see - Wardenclyffe Details

Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse built the first hydro-electric power plant in Niagara Falls and started the electrification of the world. Niagara Falls are the final victory of Tesla's Polyphase Alternating Current (AC) Electricity, which is today lighting the entire globe.

The Tesla coil is one of Nikola Tesla's most famous inventions. It is essentially a high-frequency air-core transformer. It takes the output from a 120vAC to several kilovolt transformer & driver circuit and steps it up to an extremely high voltage. Voltages can get to be well above 1,000,000 volts and are discharged in the form of electrical arcs. Tesla himself got arcs up to 100,000,000 volts, but I don't think that has been duplicated by anybody else. Tesla coils are unique in the fact that they create extremely powerful electrical fields. Large coils have been known to wirelessly light up florescent lights up to 50 feet away, and because of the fact that it is an electric field that goes directly into the light and doesn't use the electrodes, even burned-out florescent lights will glow.

As early as 1892, Nikola Tesla created a basic design for radio. On November 8, 1898 he patented a radio controlled robot-boat. Tesla used this boat which was controlled by radio waves in the Electrical Exhibition in 1898, Madison Square Garden.

Tesla's robot-boat was constructed with an antenna, which transmitted the radio waves coming from the command post where Tesla was standing. Those radio waves were received by a radio sensitive device called coherer, which transmitted the radio waves into mechanical movements of the propellers on the boat.

Most of us, think of Guglielmo Marconi as the father of radio, and Tesla is unknown for his work in radio. Marconi claimed all the first patents for radio, something originally developed by Tesla. Nikola Tesla tried to prove that he was the creator of radio but it wasn't until 1943, where Marconi's patents were deemed invalid; however, people still have no idea about Tesla's work with radio.
