In 1897, during the opening of the hydropower plant on Niagara, the great inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla made a statement shocking the audience present at the ceremony.
The essence of his statement was that the path to extracting energy from natural resources along which humanity is following is a dead end. Oil, gas and the pressure of water in hydroelectric power stations cannot satisfy the growing needs of earthlings due to their limitations. At the same time, there is an unlimited energy source, the use of which will not affect the environment in any way.
Mysteries of Tesla
Nikola Tesla had a reputation as a great eccentric, was known as a mysterious and unusual person. Some considered him a real wizard, while others took many of his experiments as deft tricks and preferred to be wary of them.
Immediately there were experts who accused the scientist of violating one of the fundamental foundations of modern physics - the second law of thermodynamics. The Tesla energy generator, according to the author, did not consume external sources of “material” resources, eating some kind of power coming from the “external space”, the nature of which the inventor described in very vague terms. At the same time, he confidently asserted that his device does not violate any laws of modern science, and referred to a description of the principle of his work, which was published on the 200th page of the June issue of Century Magazine in 1900.
The article really set forth the basic principle by which the Tesla generator could work. The diagram explaining it was extremely simple. It depicted a kind of empty cylinder, inside of which there was a channel connecting our mortal world with "outer space". It was along this path that the “O”, as conceived by the inventor, was supposed to receive at the disposal of mankind the infinite energy of the ether, which is unlimited in space.
The principle of operation of the Tesla generator
The principle by which Tesla generators work does not really contradict the postulates of modern science in this version. Any energy extraction in the modern sense is based on the potential difference of physical parameters, regardless of their nature (thermal, mechanical or electrical). Energy arises when there is a movement from high to low, from hot to cold, from plus to minus (or vice versa).
As another illustration, a diagram was cited according to which at a height (presumably quite large) was a plate connected by a conductor to the output of the capacitor, the other pole of which was grounded. Tesla generators were supposed to consume solar energy, which could be extracted in electrical form directly from this tank or through a transformer, for which a breaker was connected to the circuit.
The scientist tried to explain the principle of operation of his device as intelligibly as possible, using hydrodynamic analogies. In his opinion, the nature of vibrations is characteristic of liquids, and the flow of energy occurs according to the same laws as the movement of water from one reservoir to another.
Despite the simplicity of the calculations, Tesla's generators turned out to be unclaimed.
Who is stopping the introduction of Tesla generators?
Supporters of the theory of “clean energy” accuse international oil and gas corporations, whose power is based on resources mercilessly extracted from the bowels of the planet, of rejecting theoretical calculations: they say that they are trying with all their might to prevent the introduction of a brilliant invention in order to maintain their unlimited power.
However, apparently, besides this evil will, there are other circumstances that impede the triumphal procession of the new energy on the planet. The fact is that, despite the apparent availability of schemes, so far no one has been able to put them into practice.
From time to time, reports appear in the press about the successful testing of another device for producing "clean ether energy", which, as a rule, is accompanied by an offer to purchase a manual for the independent manufacture of such an apparatus. Inexpensive, a hundred dollars. Tesla generators can still become a limited source of resources, albeit not cosmic ...
