ELECTRICITY

What is electricity? Where does it come from? How does it work? In the late 70s and throughout the 80s, several electrical engineers were asked these questions. Except for some data on how electricity works in practice, nobody could answer these questions. It was difficult for Nikola Tesla himself to explain!
In Harmonic Chemistry theory, based on ancient Chinese observations, electromagnetism can be seen as one of 5 natural forces in the universe, correlated with "Fire". This is a partially useful explanation, but it is still incomplete. Exactly how one sees electricity as a natural force depends largely on viewpoint, which must be considered. In fact, if you find an explanation that contradicts this one, it could be right too. Look at the overall viewpoint of an alternative explanation, and you will learn a lot.

Nikola Tesla's concepts of electricity were clearly tied in with an understanding of natural and mechanical resonance. However, his terminology from patents and notes has not been widely understood. Many engineers have dismissed this original source material as irrelevant. We should be aware that the meaning and usage of many electrical terms has changed radically since Tesla's time. If we go back to his notes and try to get solid definitions for Tesla's terms, we may do better in figuring out what he was really doing. In July 2006, Peter Lindemann presented the results of many years' research into exactly what Tesla meant. The DVD of this presentation is highly recommended for anyone who wants to research and understand the fundamental nature of electricity and how it works.

After the world had mostly switched to AC from DC current between 1893 - 1898, which has been well documented in many places, he dedicated himself to creating a worldwide system that would provide free electricity to all people. This would take away any excuse for war, he wrote.

A huge Tesla Coil placed at a specific type of location was key to this system. While Tesla used these for shows sometimes, the real purpose was to ramp electrical power up into a radio frequency range so it could be transmitted using the Earth itself as a component of the system. Starting in 1901 he built a laboratory at Wardenclyffe on Long Island. The tower from the lab was intended to be the first of many spaced evenly around the world. But funding was stopped, and in 1917 the tower was demolished.

Thanks to this model by Gary Peterson, we now have a proof of concept for this system. It may immediately prove useful for certain remote wind and geothermal systems, and also eventually replace power grid systems.
