Tesla: The Inventor Who was a National Security Threat!

From Alexandra

Nikola Tesla (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Тесла) (10 July 1856 7 January 1943) was an inventor and a mechanical and electrical engineer. Born in Smiljan, Croatian Krajina, Austrian Empire, he was an ethnic Serb subject of the Austrian Empire and later became an American citizen. Tesla is often described as the most important scientist and inventor of the modern age, a man who “shed light over the face of Earth”.

Nikola Tesla has been called “the inventor of the 20th century.” He demonstrated wireless technology as far back as 1893 and besides inventing alternating current, which literally electrified the world and inventing the radio, which forever altered human communications; he is credited with dozens of other inventions including:

• Devices that use rotating magnetic fields (1882)
• Induction motor and high frequency alternator
• Means for increasing the intensity of electrical oscillations
• Alternating current long-distance electrical transmission system (1888)
• Tesla coil
• Bladeless turbine
• Bifilar coil
• Telegeodynamics
• Systems for wireless communication, and radio frequency oscillators
• Robotics and the “AND” logic gate
• X-rays Tubes using the bremsstrahlung process
• Devices for ionized gases
• Devices for high field emission
• Devices for charged particle beams
• Methods for providing extremely low level of resistance to the passage of electrical current
• Voltage multiplication circuitry
• Devices for high voltage discharges
• Devices for lightning protection
• Magnifying Transmitter
• VTOL aircraft
• Dynamic theory of gravity
• Concepts for electric vehicles

Tesla’s patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern alternating current electric power (AC) systems, including the polyphase power distribution systems and the AC motor, with which he helped usher in the Second Industrial Revolution. Contemporary biographers of Tesla have regarded him as “The Father of Physics”, “The man who invented the twentieth century” and “the patron saint of modern electricity.”

Tesla’s drive to raise the standard of living of all peoples caused him to run afoul of the New York Banking establishment, which had previously backed him. The quirky, obsessive-compulsive genius died penniless and in obscurity, with his papers said to have been seized by the FBI almost immediately afterward and his inventions being developed today by the Advanced Research Projects division of the Pentagon.

After his demonstration of wireless communication (radio) in 1894 he was widely respected as one of the greatest electrical engineers who worked in America. During this period, in the United States, Tesla’s fame rivalled that of any other inventor or scientist in history or popular culture, but Tesla was ultimately ostracized and regarded as a mad scientist. Never having put much focus on his finances, Tesla died impoverished at the age of 86.

The SI unit measuring magnetic flux density or magnetic induction (commonly known as the magnetic field B), the tesla, was named in his honor (at the Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures, Paris, 1960), as well as the Tesla effect of wireless energy transfer to wirelessly power electronic devices which Tesla demonstrated on a low scale (lightbulbs) as early as 1893 and aspired to use for the intercontinental transmission of industrial energy levels in his unfinished Wardenclyffe Tower project.

Tesla has contributed in varying degrees to the establishment of robotics, remote control, radar and computer science, and to the expansion of ballistics, nuclear physics, and theoretical physics. In 1943, the Supreme Court of the United States credited him as being the inventor of the radio.

Tesla is honored in Serbia and Croatia, as well as in the Czech Republic and Romania. He was awarded the highest order of the White Lion by Czechoslovakia.

As Tesla claimed to have invented a way to harness “free energy” from the voltage difference in the ionosphere that causes lightning, he was seen as a threat to the world energy economy mostly by the rich bankers, J.P. Morgan who was a silent partner with an ulterior agenda. The majority of Tesla’s inventions were classified for national security by the US government.

A lot of his discoveries in physics have not been released to the public, despite being invented nearly 100 years ago. Other technologies not yet released to the public include HAARP Electromagnetic technology and high energy directed particle beams used in space weapons.
