The 10 Inventions of Nikola Tesla That Changed The
World
[Action Step: Letter and petition to go to New York
Senators Shumer and Gillibrand ]
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. The petition has a goal of 25,000 signatures and is very
nearly there, but even if reached by the time of this reading, please continue
to add your voice by sharing this information with as many people as possible.

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
'Ere many generations pass,
our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point of the
universe. Throughout space there is energy. -- Nikola Tesla, 1892

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, and to this day none of this research has been made
public.
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.
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 appliances, 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 Regan'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. 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, please
sign this petition to demand that power brokers everywhere learn 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. The petition has a goal of 25,000 signatures and is very
nearly there, but even if reached by the time of this reading, please continue
to add your voice by sharing this information with as many people as possible.

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 survivalism.
Please view the video here,
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.
