Nikola Tesla

He
noticed that, though the pain field was gone, the familiar pressure effect
remained. In its place came a defined and penetrating heat. Tesla was well
aware that such heat could signal internal electrocution. He had already
made a thorough study of these processes, recognizing that such heating
precedes the formation of electrical arcs through the body. Nevertheless,
he applied power to the dynamo in small but steady intervals.
Each increase brought increase in the internal
heating effects. He remained poised at each power level, sensing and scoping
his own physiology for danger signs. He continued raising the power level
until the magnetic arc reached its full buzzing roar. Tesla found that this
heat could be adjusted and, when not extreme, was completely enjoyable. So
soothing, relaxing, and comfortable was this manifestation that Tesla daily
exposed himself to the energies. An electrical "sauna".
He later reported these findings in medical
journals, freely offering the discovery to the medical world for its
therapeutic benefits. Tesla was a notorious user of all such therapies from
this time on, often falling into a deep sleep in the warm and penetrating
influences. Once, having overindulged the electro-sauna therapy, he fell
into a profoundly deep sleep from which he emerged a day later! He reported
that this experience was not unpleasant, but realized that proper
"electro-dosages" would necessarily have to be determined by medical
personnel.
During this time,
Tesla found shorter impulse lengths where the heating effect disappeared
altogether, rendering the radiance absolutely harmless. These impulse trains
were so very high that the deepest nerves of one's body could not sense the
permeating radiant energy field. Now he could pursue his vision of broadcast
energy systems without fear of rendering to humanity a technological curse,
rather than a true blessing.
TRANSFORMERS
Tesla operated the magnetic arc system at
higher power levels, experimenting with various impulse lengths and
repetition rates. He measured the mysterious electrical current, which
apparently flowed through space from this system. These radiant fields
operated at far greater power than before. Strange effects were suddenly
appearing at certain distances from the magnetic impulser.
For one thing, Tesla noticed that metallic
surfaces near the impulser became covered with white brush-like corona
discharges. While the sparks played in trails across the metal surfaces,
Tesla observed physical movement among the metal objects. Tensions and
rocking motions. Both phenomena occurring simultaneously, he was utterly
fascinated. The sparks themselves seemed alive. The moving metal objects
seemed to suggest new motor effects. What was this strange coalition, this
synchronicity of phenomena?
Brilliant white coronas came forth with a
gaseous "hissing" sound from metal points and edges. Metal plates were soon
poised all around the device for observation. Tesla recognized at once that
these effects were not identical with those obtained earlier while using
high frequency alternating currents. These new discharges were white,
energetic, and strong.
The electrical behavior of copper plates, rods,
cylinders, and spheres near his primary impulser brought forth a great
variety of white fluidic discharges. Strong discharge brushes appeared from
the ends of copper plates. These came in prodigious volumes, hissing and
arcing wildly in all directions, especially from sharp points. Tesla tried
copper discs. These seemed to produce more stable discharges. He observed
the curious manner in which these white discharges seemed to "race" around
the disc edge at times, blending and separating with all the other sparks.
Here was a greatly magnified example of Reichenbach's Od force perhaps!
He noted the manner in which white brush
discharges appeared from copper conductors of different shapes. Each form,
poised near his impulser, gave a characteristic corona distribution. This
coronal correspondence with specific geometric form greatly impressed him.
With certain metal forms the discharges were very fluidic in appearance.
Smooth, fluidic sheaths covered copper cylinders of specific size. This
absolutely fascinated Tesla. There was an aerodynamic nature inherent in
radiant electricity.
Copper cylinders produced remarkable volumes of
white discharges. The discharges from certain sized cylinders were actually
larger than those being applied. This inferred that an energy transformation
effect was taking place within the cylinder. This reminded him of his
initial observation with the shock-excited wires. Those which did not
explode gave forth far greater voltages than were initially used. He had
never understood why this was occurring. Here was another instance in which
applied energy was seemingly magnified by a conductor. Why was this
happening?
