HARNESSING THE UNIVERSAL COSMIC ENERGY HARNESSING THE COsMIc UNIVERSAL ENERGY Realising that we exist in a boundless sea of cosmic energy, scientists like Crookes, Tesla and Moray experimented with devices that would tap this primal source. Part 1 of 2 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 kinetic—and this we know it is, for certain—then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature. his statement was made by Dr Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) during the delivery of his lecture to the Institute of Electrical Engineers in London in 1892. This pro- found insight came not long after he had given an extensive description of what he referred to as cosmic rays—a phenomenon that was not officially discovered until some 30 years later. It is well known that Tesla intended to transmit electrical energy through the Earth so that it could be tapped as free energy from any point on the globe. However, the great sci- entist had a dream of tapping into an energy source that has been present since the birth of the universe, an energy that permeates all space and time. Although he was sure that the energy existed and could be tapped, he was not entirely sure how this could be done. Nevertheless, in the same lecture, Tesla went on to say that a device for tapping this sea of energy had already been discovered. He said: Of all, living or dead, Crookes came nearest to doing it. His radiometer will turn in the light of day and in the darkness of night; it will turn everywhere where there is heat, and heat is everywhere. The radiometer is a simple instrument that clearly demonstrates that light has momen- tum, and that this momentum can be imparted onto macroscopic matter to render it as use- ful energy. The instrument consists of four vanes mounted on a pinpoint vertical support. Each vane is coated on one side with black paint, while the other side is silvered. The whole assembly is then encapsulated in an evacuated glass bulb. When light falls upon this device, the vanes turn rapidly, thus converting radiant energy into mechanical energy. The secret to its operation is quite simple, yet it is the first device to harness this primal by Gavin Dingley © 2001 Sunningdale Manningford Bruce Near Pewsey, Wiltshire SN9 6JL United Kingdom Telephone: +44 (0)1672 562808 Email: gavin.dingley@tesla-research.ukf.net Website: www.tesla-research.ukf.net energy. Light can be described as corpuscular in nature; specifically, it can be thought of as being composed of particles, namely photons. This means that a ray of light can be described as a beam of particles or photons, and like any other particle they carry momen- tum. How this momentum is transferred to any matter in its path depends on the target matter. In the case of the radiometer, the atoms of the black paint, which coats one side of the vanes, absorb the light particles; while on the other side of the vanes, where there is a sil- ver coating, the photons simply reflect, imparting some of their momentum or energy onto that surface of the vanes. This imbalance of forces—that is, the absorption on one side and reflection on the other—results in rotational motion: a radiant energy motor.
