VERY RARE & FASCINATING IMAGES OF NIKOLA TESLA

VERY RARE & FASCINATING IMAGES OF NIKOLA TESLA

Nikola Tesla’s genius is undeniable, but what separates him from so many other famous figures is his humanity, his desire to do good for the planet and all that live upon it. He was not interested in making money, and according to many, was taken advantage of by wealthy businessman. Despite that, Tesla remains one of the most notable scientists/minds in recorded history. From the Tesla Oscillator to his vision of free energy for all, he made several inventions that threatened the control that the global elite were working on acquiring.

Tesla’s most important scientific contribution (although hardly ever noted) is his support for non-material science, something that’s still ridiculed to this day. He has been famously quoted as saying, in fact, that “the day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.”

Today, an internationally recognized group of scientists are working to bring this idea to the forefront, because the fact that matter (protons, electrons, photons, or anything that has a mass) is not the only reality is still greatly overlooked in the mainstream scientific community. We wish to understand the nature of our reality, but how can we do so if we are continually examining only physical systems? What about the role of non-physical systems, such as consciousness, or their interaction with physical systems (matter)?

His acknowledgement and understanding of spirituality, and the importance of merging it with modern day science in order to better understand the true nature of what we call reality. Not many people are aware of the fact that Tesla was in contact with Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902), one of the most famous and influential spiritual leaders of the philosophies of yoga and Vedanta. One of the six schools of Hindu philosophy, Vedanta originally referred to the Upanishads, a collection of philosophical texts in Hinduism. Tesla was also the chief disciple of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, and founded the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission. He is a giant figure in the history of the Hindu reform movements.

Mr. Tesla thinks he can demonstrate mathematically that force and matter are reducible to potential energy. I am to go and see him next week to get this new mathematical demonstration. In that case the Vedantic cosmoloqy will be placed on the surest of foundations. I am working a good deal now upon the cosmology and eschatology of the Vedanta. I clearly see their perfect union with modern science, and the elucidation of the one will be followed by that of the other.” 

– Swami Vivekananda, in a letter to Tesla (Complete Works, Vol. V, Fifth Edition, 1347, p. 77)

His spiritual nature is made clear in this quote:

“All perceptible matter comes from a primary substance, or tenuity beyond conception, filling all space, the Akasha or luminiferous ether, which is acted upon by the life giving Prana or creative force, calling into existence, in never ending cycles all things and phenomena.”

– Nikola Tesla, Man’s Greatest Achievement, 1907

Now let us gaze into the past of a person whose legacy will live on forever, as we continue to uphold his vision for a better Earth.

4 Mind Bending Inventions from the mind of Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla was a brilliant but eccentric genius, he made dozens of breakthroughs in the production, transmission and application of electric power. He invented the first alternating current (AC) motor and developed AC generation and transmission technology.

Though he was famous and respected, he was never able to translate his copious inventions into long-term financial success—unlike his early employer and chief rival, Thomas Edison.

1.Peace Beam or  The Death Ray

Nikola Tesla had invented the “Peace Beam” – as he called it, a Death Ray that could have stopped the traditional way of participating in wars. As he meant it to be built, the Peace Beam would have prevented people going into wars instead of machines so no civilians would have been wounded. Using a vacuum chamber open at one end, a turbine to direct air flow for maintaining the vacuum and direct the flow of particles, it was an invention that hardly took little attention by JP Morgan and Britain’s Neville Chamberlain, but even the Soviet related “Amtrog Trading Company” was interested in it and once tested – it was never built.

2. Tesla’s Oscillator The Earthquake Machine

TeslaOscillator1

There’s this interesting story about Tesla creating an Earthquake Machine, which was actually never meant to cause actual earthquakes but to replace some of the massive, unwieldy engines, only by using a small amount of pressured air. He worked on the development of this Oscillator, which is a small machine that could be used to replace the steam – driven engines in everything from mills to trains. His idea was to turn motion into power while being a lot smaller and space saving power source. He actually created several different Oscillators, but at the same time, Steam Turbines also came into the industry and made his Oscillators redundant, which was probably for the best. He claimed that his machine would be capable of leveling the Empire State Building with five pounds of air pressure and ten minutes.

3. Tesla’s Thought Photography Machine

Nikola Tesla has once discussed in a “Kansas City Journal-Post” article about his idea of making a machine that will put on screen whatever a person thought. The idea was, by using current technology, the picture produced in a person mind which must have had created a corresponding image in the retina of his eyes, to somehow display it on a screen. But even though he had this idea for decades, he never actually worked enough to make it a reality.

4. Tesla’s Wardenclyffe Tower

Tesla had this brilliant idea, which could have become a reality in such a short period of time if it weren’t a market crash that actually stopped the project financing. Anyway, he has (almost) built a Tower, topped by a large conductive dome and anchored with a 300 feet, beneath the ground, iron foundation, which was supposed to transmit, wirelessly, not just electricity, but also information over the planet Earth. There was also this guy, Guglielmo Marconi, who stole some of Tesla’s “tricks” and only after a few months Tesla started building the “Wardenclyffe Tower”, was the first to transmit a wireless telegraph signal across the Atlantic. Tesla knew that his invention was way on a higher scale than Marconi’s, and he kept at it, trusting the idea: to “send” electricity into the air and then move it with the natural currents of the earth. When it became official, to stop with the building of the tower, he stated: “Humanity is not yet sufficiently advanced to be willingly led by the discoverer’s keen searching sense.”

Nikola Tesla – God of Thunder

Nikola Tesla (Macedonian Cyrillic – Никола Тесла; 10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was a  inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist who is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.

Born and raised in the Austrian Empire, Tesla received an advanced education in engineering and physics in the 1870s and gained practical experience in the early 1880s working in telephony and at Continental Edison in the new electric power industry. He immigrated to the United States in 1884, where he would become a naturalized citizen. He worked for a short time at Continental iEdison in New York City before he struck out on his own. With the help of partners to finance and market his ideas, Tesla set up laboratories and companies in New York to develop a range of electrical and mechanical devices. His alternating current (AC) induction motor and related polyphase AC patents, licensed by Westinghouse Electric in 1888, earned him a considerable amount of money and became the cornerstone of the polyphase system which that company would eventually market.

Attempting to develop inventions he could patent and market, Tesla conducted a range of experiments with mechanical oscillators/generators, electrical discharge tubes, and early X-ray imaging. He also built a wireless-controlled boat, one of the first ever exhibited. Tesla became well known as an inventor and would demonstrate his achievements to celebrities and wealthy patrons at his lab, and was noted for his showmanship at public lectures.

Throughout the 1890s, Tesla would pursue his ideas for wireless lighting and worldwide wireless electric power distribution in his high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments in New York and Colorado Springs. In 1893, he made pronouncements on the possibility of wireless communication with his devices. Tesla tried to put these ideas to practical use in his unfinished Wardenclyffe Tower project, an intercontinental wireless communication and power transmitter, but ran out of funding before he could complete it.

After Wardenclyffe, Tesla went on to try and develop a series of inventions in the 1910s and 1920s with varying degrees of success. Having spent most of his money, he lived in a series of New York hotels, leaving behind unpaid bills. The nature of his earlier work and the pronouncements he made to the press later in life earned him the reputation of an archetypal “mad scientist” in American popular culture. Tesla died in New York City in January 1943. His work fell into relative obscurity following his death, but in 1960, the General Conference on Weights and Measures named the SI unit of magnetic flux density the tesla in his honor. There has been a resurgence in popular interest in Tesla since the 1990s.
