FREE ENERGY FROM TESLA'S WIRELESS ELECTRICITY TESLA'S FREE ENERGY FROM WIRELESS ELECTRICITY The wireless electricity transmission system pioneered by Dr Nikola Tesla has the potential to meet our future global energy needs, if only the funding and organisational structures can be put in place as a matter of urgency. he Wardenclyffe Tower Centennial in 2003 was an opportunity to celebrate a monument to Dr Nikola Tesla's visionary genius. Recently, a resurgence of interest from prominent physicists has focused on the unusual method of pulsing a broadband Tesla coil at a repetition rate of 8 Hz to resonate with the Earth's Schumann cavity.! Nikola Tesla, the father of AC electricity, is responsible for recognis- ing that an atmospheric and a terrestrial storage battery already exists everywhere on Earth, for the benefit of mankind. This is perhaps the "wheelwork of nature" to which Tesla was referring. A century later, only a few visionary scientists recognise the untapped renewable reservoir of terawatts of electrical power (3,000 gigawatts) that sits dormant above us, waiting to be utilised. THE ELECTRICITY TRANSMISSION GRIDLOCK In 2001, the Bush-mandated National Transmission Grid Study (NTGS 2001) was designed to identify the major transmission bottlenecks across the United States and iden- tify technical and economic issues resulting from these transmission constraints. With deregulation of US utilities and the lack of jurisdiction for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the US is fighting an electrical energy crisis which, right now, costs consumers hundreds of millions of dollars annually due to interregional transmission con- gestion. There is no longer any economic incentive nor any FERC eminent domain for states to provide rights-of-way, besides the lack of Federal compensation to utilities to build new transmission lines. Historically, the creation of electrical utilities was beset with scandal, such as the six years of congressional hearings starting in 1928 in which "thousands of pages of testimony revealed a systematic, covert attempt to shape opinion in favor of private utilities, in which half truths and at times outright lies presented municipal systems in a consistently bad light".* Today, US AID funds the US Energy Association to train utility representatives from the former Russian states on how to monitor electricity usage reliably and collect money from customers in their respective countries, while those economically challenged people struggle for sufficient wages. At a December 2001 Washington, DC, conference which this author attended, called "Implementing a National Energy Strategy: Breaking Down the Barriers" and sponsored by the US Energy Association, only the depressing news about unresolved US electricity headaches was discussed. Energy Daily publisher Llewelyn King finally concluded: "We are using 19th-century technology for electrical transmission." He then called for a para- digm shift toward new technology and cited the "monster infrastructure problems" within the US as compared to the developing countries. In June 2003, the US Department of Energy (DOE) held an emergency meeting with utility heads as a natural gas crisis loomed from the lack of diversification of new electri- cal power generation facilities. "Innovation in new technology and renewable sources [is] needed in the long term to improve the environment and meet rising demand", sum- marised an Investors Business Daily editor on the crisis.‘ In November 2002, the American Council for The United Nations University called for wireless energy transmission to circumvent the need for transmission lines, as part of its Millennium Project. It announced that new funding is being offered by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in collaboration with NASA and the Electrical Power Research Institute (EPRI). The beaming of microwave energy and the creation of a world energy organisation were seen to actively address the 2020 challenges to global electricity supply, by Thomas Valone, PhD, PE © 2003-2005 President Integrity Research Institute Email: iri@erols.com Website: http://www.
