ADVANCED ENERGY THEORY
Technological progress relies on a combination of invention and theory. We should keep in mind that several historically significant developments, including fixed-wing air flight, computers, and atomic energy, were worked out in theory long before functional prototypes were actually built.
In our field, we often have to evaluate theories. Many prove to be dead ends. A few look promising but obviously need work. Some are so full of equations that most researchers and inventors will never understand them. Making the effort to understand theories is a valuable part of education. If you can run theoretical concepts visually or kinesthetically, the way to build a new machine may become clear. For inspiration, keep in mind that Nikola Tesla had a method of building machines in his mind. He would allow them to run in the background, to see what would happen. Sometimes these would run for months or years before an actual prototype was built. This was how he made many of his design improvements in an efficient way.

Here are some significant theoretical resources worth studying:
The Secret of the Aether by David Thomson & Jim Bourassa
Tesla was certain that the material universe is permeated by an invisible substance, aether,
which is the medium for the transmission of all forces. Modern physics, based on Einstein's work,
generally has an opposite view, saying that the universe is mostly composed of empty space. Thomson's
theory provides mathematical and material proof that aether exists.
Tapping the Zero Point Energy by Moray B. King
King shows a combination of logic, mathematics, and examples that point the way to drawing energy
directly from aether. His theoretical work has been inspirational for many inventors over the past
25 years.
**Both of the above books are available through the Tesla Tech catalog.**
SYNERGETICS by Buckminster Fuller.
Here is a mathematical framework that comprehensively integrates all fields of science. Anyone who
thoroughly understands this work will be able to design many types of buildings, living systems,
and inventions. It was published by MacMillan in 1979, and can be found used in many locations.
Volume 1 was published in paperback, while Volume 2 was only published in hardback and is now
rare. Click here to read

COSMOGRAPHY by Buckminster Fuller
A good introductory book, sometimes a little easier to find. It was compiled about 10 years after
Fuller passed on.
Exploration Science covers a wide range of theoretical and practical topics. It is run by the former Director of Borderlands Science Research Foundation. This site is especially strong in coverage of energy types that have not yet been classified within the scope of academic science.
