Tesla's Flying Machine (in his own words)

Synopsis
Opening pages of 'Tesla's (real) Flying Machine', a Scribd compilation of Nikola Tesla's own published words on the wingless, propellerless flying machine he called the dream of his life.
"Tesla's (real) Flying Machine" is a ten-page document uploaded to Scribd on November 28, 2012 by the user saucersource, described simply as "Published passages when Nikola Tesla talks of his flying machine." The compiler gathered Tesla's own words — from his interviews and publications — about the wingless, propellerless flying machine he called the dream of his life, sorted them "in striking order", and closed the document with pictures resembling the idea of the machine. The old Daily Dialectics site linked this document from its Tesla section.
Only the opening pages of the document could be recovered from the archived copy: the compiler's introduction with its footnoted references, and the first excerpt, from the 1911 interview "Tesla's New Monarch of Machines". They are reproduced below; the remaining eight pages must be read on Scribd.
The compiler's introduction
Nikola Tesla, what a great man – a real "superman" as O'Neill called him – but even this is not enough to describe the extent of his vision and truth revealing mind. "Who is Tesla?" not surprisingly one might ask; unfortunately this is not the right place to find this answer. There have been several biographies (1) and documents about him, more or less accurate, all in all sufficient to reveal hard evidence on an active and hasty "erasure" of his figure and occultation of related inventions. This however is still not enough to justify the entity of this oppression and misinformation. Who can see through the smoke screen, created by the powers that be, can sense that these are not just the obvious reasons for this historical "eradication".
This brings us to the reason of the creation of this document with the hope of bringing back to the world what has unjustly and oppressively been removed. I believe that there are no better words than his own, taken from his own interviews and publications, to indicate what his real secret (even if he did not intend to keep it so forever) and his life long dream, dare I say obsession, really was. This is why I will limit myself in illustrating excerpts of these important passages, which I have been able to recover after months of research, so that they can be read one after the other for major emphasis. Fortunately, not all truth has been erased and not all documents have been minutely screened permitting the pieces of the puzzle to be put back together. I consider this a simple but valuable report which will speak for itself and hopefully interest those who have not yet been enlightened by the information "packed" books written by William Lyne (2), who has been an invaluable source and stands out between the gibberish garbage and mystical baloney that I have read and found all around. Again, there are no better words than Tesla's to describe our current "scientific" community situation and tendency:
"The scientists of today have substituted mathematics for experiments and they wander off through equation after equation and eventually build a mathematical structure which has no relation to reality. They are metaphysicians rather than scientists." (3)
Another remarkable statement Tesla made was that "one can think clearly, but one can be quite insane and think deeply". We have to think clearly, and not get sucked or suckered into thinking deeply by our own mind conditioned by the brainwashing media. If one carefully studies not only his life, but most importantly his interviews, Tesla's real dream will emerge and this will explain and justify all the other actions he made during his "electric revolution" – I have absolutely no doubt. Instead of creating then diving into "supernatural" problems and deviated ideas one should start from the facts that have already been clearly demonstrated in front of hundreds of people through as many of his experiments. The transcripts and reports are right there under our noses, they just have to be read and most of all understood – what else could Tesla have done for us other than demonstrating (4) his advance in the field? What more could he have done I ask myself than demonstrating in front of the highest figures in scientific research his discoveries and interpretations which in the end were valid? Ask yourselves why so many supposed scientists and mega-phD "dudes" still try to debunk his most critical views while present objectable or no hard evidence to the contrary.
We have evidence, we have facts and we have thousands of people who have witnessed his ideal flying machine zip through the air; what more evidence can that be? The word "Alien" here is out of question. The only "alien" word I see here is in the "alienated" minds of these propagandistic brainwashed back-government funded group of people. Is it possible that amongst all of the world population there are so little straight thinkers? The government controlled brainwashing media has done an exceptionally good job in creating and maintaining these lies and the false "cradle of love" sensation it wants to project – that is certain. I refuse to believe that people do not realize what has happened in the last 100 years of scientific research. We have practically moved from scientific to metaphysic research, from Ether physics (or more correctly Ether Mechanics) to Relativity. Tesla thought of relativity as a "beggar wrapped in purple whom ignorant people take for a king" and "a mass of error and deceptive ideas violently opposed to the teachings of great men of science of the past and even common sense." (5)
Do people not see how Relativity has stolen ether physics' major truths and deviated them to fit its own greedy needs? One must see both "sides of the medal" to see the truth, not be narrow visioned and suffocated and accept what is thrown at you just because it is just Mr. PhD who is vomiting it. The excerpts hereafter are sorted in "striking" order, from the most explicative and obvious to the lesser ones, but all similarly pertinent. At the end of the document I have added some pictures which resemble an idea of his flying machine for reference with an interesting "cover" originally taken from the New York Herald Tribune. There is plenty more of course to all this (the truckloads of notes brought away by the FBI and still classified must contain a lot more information than we can imagine) but this should be enough to start the rediscovery of his hidden work for those researchers with good will with a still uncontaminated and open mind. I will start with the first most explicative article which I believe really says it all about Tesla's life long dream. This was taken from an interview about his bladeless turbine invention and application (emphasis mine):

Excerpt: "Tesla's New Monarch of Machines" (October 15, 1911)
The compiler opens the excerpts with this passage from a 1911 interview about Tesla's bladeless turbine. The interviewer's lines are given in plain text; Tesla's replies are set as quotations. The compiler's added emphasis is not preserved in the recovered text.
"And it makes the aeroplane practical," I suggested.
"Not the aeroplane, the flying machine," responded Dr. Tesla. "Now you have struck the point in which I am most deeply interested—the object toward which I have been devoting my energies for more than twenty years—the dream of my life. It was in seeking the means of making the perfect flying machine that I developed this engine."
"Twenty years ago I believed that I would be the first man to fly; that I was on the track of accomplishing what no one else was anywhere near reaching. I was working entirely in electricity then and did not realize that the gasoline engine was approaching a perfection that was going to make the aeroplane feasible. There is nothing new about the aeroplane but its engine, you know."
"What I was working on twenty years ago was the wireless transmission of electric power. My idea was a flying machine propelled by an electric motor, with power supplied from stations on the earth. I have not accomplished this as yet, but am confident that I will in time."
"When I found that I had been anticipated as to the flying machine, by men working in a different field, I began to study the problem from other angles, to regard it as a mechanical rather than an electrical problem. I felt certain there must be some means of obtaining power that was better than any now in use. And by vigorous use of my gray matter for a number of years, I grasped the possibilities of the principle of the viscosity and adhesion of fluids and conceived the mechanism of my engine. Now that I have it, my next step will be the perfect flying machine."
"An aeroplane driven by your engine?" I asked.
"Not at all," said Dr. Tesla. "The aeroplane is fatally defective. It is merely a toy—a sporting play-thing. It can never become commercially practical. It has fatal defects. One is the fact that when it encounters a downward current of air it is helpless. The "hole in the air" of which aviators speak is simply a downward current, and unless the aeroplane is high enough above the earth to move laterally but can do nothing but fall."
"There is no way of detecting these downward currents, no way of avoiding them, and therefore the aeroplane must always be subject to chance and its operator to the risk of fatal accident. Sportsmen will always take these chances, but as a business proposition the risk is too great.
"The flying machine of the future—my flying machine—will be heavier than air, but it will not be an aeroplane. It will have no wings. It will be substantial, solid, stable. You cannot have a stable airplane. The gyroscope can never be successfully applied to the airplane, for it would give a stability that would result in the machine being torn to pieces by the wind, just as the unprotected aeroplane on the ground is torn to pieces by a high wind.
"My flying machine will have neither wings nor propellers. You might see it on the ground and you would never guess that it was a flying machine. Yet it will be able to move at will through the air in any direction with perfect safety, higher speeds than have yet been reached, regardless of weather and oblivious of "holes in the air" or downward currents. It will ascend in such currents if desired. It can remain absolutely stationary in the air, even in a wind, for great length of time. Its lifting power will not depend upon any such delicate devices as the bird has to employ, but upon positive mechanical action."
"You will get stability through gyroscopes?" I asked.
"Through gyroscopic action of my engine, assisted by some devices I am not yet prepared to talk about," he replied.
"Powerful air currents that may be deflected at will, if produced by engines and compressors sufficiently light and powerful, might lift a heavy body off the ground and propel it through the air," I ventured, wondering if I had grasped the inventor's secret.
The recovered text ends here, at the foot of page 2, in the middle of the interview. The footnote printed on that page reads: (1) "Tesla, 79, promises to transmit force", July 11, 1935, New York Times — the reference for the relativity quotations in the introduction above.
