Nikola Tesla
continued....
During this time, Tesla discovered the peculiar
necessity for streamlining his Transformers. Cylindrical secondary
capacitors suddenly became conical forms. These presented the most bizarre
appearance of all. Tesla used cone-shaped secondaries to focus the impulses.
White-fire discharges from these forms evidenced real focusing effects, the
discharges themselves assuming inverted conical shapes. Their greatly
intensified nature is seen in photographs, which were taken under his own
intrigued supervision. The magnified voltages were reaching those thresholds
in which his laboratory enclosures were far too small to continue making
industrial scale progress on radiant energy systems.
The fact that white-fire discharges pass
through all matter, notably insulators, revealed the Aetheric nature. Tesla
saw that white-fire discharges could permeate all materials in a strangely
gaseous manner. This penetration scarcely heated matter. In fact, the
white-fire brushes often had a cooling effect. The sparks themselves, though
violent in appearance, were "soft" when compared to all other forms of
electricity. He had successfully removed the hazard from electricity. In
blocking the slow and dense charges, he had freed the mysterious effusive
Aether streams inherent in electricity. Because of this, new and intensified
radiant effects were constantly making their appearance across his
laboratory space.
Tesla found that as these new "Impulse
Transformers" greatly magnified power supplied to them, so also their
radiant electric effects were equally magnified. He found it possible to
wirelessly project electrostatic power to very great distances, lighting
special lamps to full candlepower at hundreds of feet. In these experiments,
he also conceived of signaling systems. It would be possible to switch
radiant effects in telegraphic fashion. Distant vacuum tube receivers would
then light or dim in corresponding manner. Tesla experimented with a
special breed of telegraphic wireless in 1890.
He also found it possible to wirelessly operate
specially constructed motors by properly intercepting this space-flowing
energy stream. He had made his own Polyphase system obsolete! The new vision
was vastly more enthralling. The world would be transformed. He discovered
ways to beam the energy out to any focus, even to the zenith. His plan to
illuminate the night sky with a radiant energy beacon captured the minds of
all who listened.
Tesla now possessed
the means by which the radiant electricity could be greatly magnified and
transmitted. He could now transform the very nature of the radiance so that
it could carry increasingly greater power. Now he could begin developing a
new technology, which would completely revitalize the world order. Power
could be broadcast to any location without wire connections. Radiant
electricity could be utilized in completely new appliances. A new world was
about to be released!
SPACE FLOWING CURRENT
Understanding the analogue between these
electrical impulse effects and the behavior of high-pressure gases was of
paramount importance. This gaseous aspect of impulse electrical radiance
was perhaps the most mystifying aspect of these newfound energies. Those who
sought out Tesla's every lecture were very aware that a new electrical
species had been discovered.
While yet a student, Tesla had became aware of
certain scientific imperatives enunciated by Johann von Goethe. One of these
was the preservation and extension of all activities-natural. Goethe implied
that when natural conditions were preserved during experimentation, then
nature itself was in the best configuration to reveal more unified
phenomenal exhibitions to qualitative observers.
Tesla recognized that his new discovery of
impulse, the result of an accident, was a total departure from Polyphase
alternating current. While his original vision of the vortex was applied by
him to the designing of motors and generators, Tesla now realized that this
was not its primary message. In fact, taken from the viewpoint, which Goethe
expressed, Polyphase was a most unnatural form of energy.
Natural activity is suffused with impulses, not
alternations. Natural activity is initiated as a primary impulse. Nature is
flooded with impulses of all kinds. From lightning to nervous activities,
all natural energy movements occur as impulses. Impulses were now seen by
Tesla to fill the natural world. But, more fundamentally, Tesla saw that
impulses flood the metaphysical world.
The mysterious flow of meanings during
conversation occurs as a sequence of directed impulses in space. Though
inert air vibrates in alternations with sounds uttered, the flow of meaning
remains unidirectional. Intentions are also impulses. The unidirectional
flow of intentions appear as impulses. Motivations proceed from the
manifestation of sudden desires. Overtly expressed as actions, the
initiating impulses are then fulfilled.
