Tesla's funding was stopped because he wanted the energy to be free and they couldn't figure out a way to measure the usage to bill it. So the money went to what we have today. One of the comments asked me for sources to research.. The fact is, the best sources of info have come from esoteric sources. I have actually seen one free energy device working. Tried to raise funding for it. At the end of the day the scientists were all bankrupted or killed.
Since, I have discovered that anyone associated with disclosure or research into the area of free energy always wind up in the same spot. Somebody doesn't want to this out in the open. Scalar waves shroud the planet. It is akin to a magnetic super highway. For perspective, you don't see your thought energies when they leave your body... yet, we have proven they are there because we can measure them. Free energy is the future.
I think Trump knows this. After we use current tech to lift us out of our economic stresses, I feel sure this tech will be released and massively propagated. Try not to be such a naysayer and start asking the right questions... like, why haven't we invested billions to prove the technology is real or not? Everyone that does try is stopped... all the warning flags you need to know it is real.
J.P. Morgan had agreed to finance Tesla to build a wireless communication device that would match or supersede what Marconi was doing. A contract was signed giving Morgan a 51% share in the resulting company and patents. Subsequently, Tesla decided to change his program, essentially breaching the contract. Morgan refused to provide more funds for Tesla's new direction. And there was nothing to it. Since Morgan had a 51% stake in whatever resulted, it makes no sense to claim, after the fact, that he was opposed to profiting from such a system.
What "scalar waves"? They are largely a fiction. Brain waves are measured by electrodes attached to the scalp.
There is no technology, and the sure sign of it is that there is no scientific theory by which any technology could be devised, or by which its performance could be measured. Everybody likes to think they are a "theorist," but I happen to be one by profession. "Theories" without physical principles, equations to describe relationships in quantiative form, or means of detecting the relevant phenomena are not theories but fancies. They are useless for the development of technology.
You haven't been up close to these things. At Boeing, I'd been tasked with looking into Andrea Rossi's "energy catalyzer" and found it dubious. No unequivocal evidence that it works, let alone as advertised (and no theory). I'd looked into cold fusion, and concluded that something is there all right, but it is elusive and it may take a long time to bring it to ground. I"m familiar with the vacuum energy and its manifestation as the Casimir Force (are you?). I was a regular reader of the Galilean Electrodynamics journal of physical theory, which is well beyond your imagination of where this might lead. So, you are a poor one to lecture me about being open-minded.
We already have a technology that allows the provision of prodigious energy at economic rates, and that is nuclear power. It has been deliberately hampered by bureaucratic delay and obstruction. If we invest in that, our need for power will be more than adequately satisfied. Why do you pine for a magical fantasy, when we have a tangible reality ready to expand and further develop?
Regarding J.P. Morgan, your recollection is correct. However, the key factor you mentioned is the 51% that gave him control. Tesla was a visionary and died broke... he didn't care about money but Morgan did. Morgan went the direction that made him the most money. It wasn't the tech.
Re: Free energy... well, I am surely humbled by your resume. No contest there. Even so, I am guessing we would agree that at every stage of major scientific advancements there is a reckoning in the community by obsoleting prior norms that dictated the discipline. In other words, we agree there is much we don't yet understand, know and can prove. But I do think, we are asking the right questions finally.
We further agree that atomic energy has been a standing asset we un-leveraged. Why? Have you heard about thermal energy? Another great source. Quantum energy (in all its expressions) appears to be inexhaustible. Why have we squandered our resources on NGOs and wasteful, garbage research instead of the quantum energy possibilities?
You don't have any evidence that Morgan stopped his funding for the reason you cite. There is only evidence that Morgan put in with Tesla for the sake of the radio communication venture. And Tesla broke the contractual agreement on what the effort was supposed to be. Morgan was right to refuse him money to continue on some different project, for which there was never any basis for belief. You are quite wrong to say that Tesla did not care for money. He needed it for his pipe dreams, spent money he did not have quite freely, and died not only broke but deeply in debt. So, he was a spendthrift and a wastrel. You have yet to explain why Morgan should have spent money that would not have been an investment in anything. Morgan did not "prevent" anything. Tesla failed to produce on his contracted obligations. Basically, Tesla swindled the money from Morgan, and Morgan was not inclined to follow that with alms. You really want to overlook Tesla's poor business practice and technical incapability. Morgan was no villain. He had stepped in to help Tesla with money when Westinghouse was unable to. (By the way, the idea that Tesla's broadcast power could not be metered is sheer hokum. Where there is receiving equipment, there will be metering by those who provide the equipment. It will never be provided for free.)
What always happens is that theory precedes technology. Tesla had no theory. Nuclear fission was discovered and theoretically explained in 1938-1939, 4 years before Tesla died. He was oblivious to it. And probably would have been resentful and disdainful of it. Six years later, we had nuclear reactors and the atom bomb.
Atomic energy was originally advanced with great fanfare and promise, then the environmental organizations raised the specter of Radioactivity and put the skids on it. We wouldn't have what we have today, were it not for the single-mindedness and discipline of RADM Hyman Rickover. It was and is a political delay, just as the same forces want to shut down all conventional power sources. What "thermal energy" are you referring to? All our power sources come from thermal energy. Or are you referring to geothermal energy, which is ever-present, but dilute and difficult to extract (much like wind and solar power)? Nuclear fission is "quantum energy," so we are not talking about anything new. I don't understand why you don't get on board with nuclear energy and push for it, instead of pining for some magical power source. "Everything is hidden from us" does not wash. Nuclear energy has been openly available for 80 years, simmering on the back burner, but still providing about 20-25% of our electrical power.
You are quite passionate in your position... and obviously you don't like Mr. Tesla very much either. I hear you ole buddy.
If you will allow a slight rebuttal...
Your position is well grounded. Your experience in the matter has tenure. Nothing wrong with what you say. You must consider that your path, road and journey is not ubiquitous and you could never been be aware of all that occurs on and off this planet. Not a slap in the face, we all share this position.
In my journey, I have arrived at the conclusion that there is infinite knowledge beyond our collective human scope. As we mature as a species (like stop killing each other, greed, and other bad human demeanor) we will likely remain ignorant of this knowledge... for the same reason you would withhold certain knowledge from a child.
I mean, we can't even answer some basic questions like "Why are we even here? What is the purpose? Why is 80% of our awareness hidden in a subconscious? Why does no religion acknowledge or speak of anything off-planet? Many questions. The question we are discussing here (preferably not arguing about) is about energy... right? And as of right now, I agree, nuclear energy is the best we have. But if you will, assume for a moment you are God, the designer, the one God who enable all this. You created the universe and all that is in it. Now that is a huge hunk of power, energy, manifestation! (I'm not religions btw). You are all knowing, all-seeing. So you decide to design a planet where we struggle just to keep the lights on? Irrational isn't it? So, yea, I strongly believe there is and will be universal energy available on this planet at some point. Tomorrow? 1000 years from now? Who knows. You and I surely don't.
So within my path of asking profound questions and seeking those answers (without bias) I have concluded there is a tremendous amount of greatness in both tech and human behavior ahead of us. I further believe the two or connected. When human beings stop weaponizing the technology to kill each other then, and only then, would we be allowed access to technology so powerful.
So, please, let us stop arguing over who is right. I have no claim nor addiction to being right. My quest is only in pursuit of answers to some very large and profound, universal questions. Being retired, I have the luxury of time to invest in this quest. We aren't that different at the end of the day.
