Tesla & the Rise of Spiritual Physics Velimir Abramović TESLA & THE RISE OF SPIRITUAL PHYSICS TESLA-PATENS INSTITUTE PUBLISHING BELGRADE 2015 1 A BEING AND ITS BECOMING…: 2 To the readers becoming the new members of TESLIANA WORLD BROTHERHOOD: – How was Tesla able to use the influence of super-low-frequency electromagnetic waves on biological systems, especially the workings of the cerebrum; coalesce energy structures, the so called “fire balls” from an inductive field of primary and secondary electromagnetic coils; superconductivity of natural and artificial mediums; the so-called wireless transmission of energy, and so on? – What are the main axioms of Tesla’s cosmology? – How do they follow from his metaphysics? – How did he apply them in his physical experiments? – Why are theorists and empiricists of modern physics of time so interested in the reconstruction of Tesla’s missing theory of physical reality and his view on electromagnetic phenomena? – Why didn't Tesla formulate his scientific theory and publish it? – Can Tesla’s sight on the ethical aspect of scientific discoveries help to ennoble modern natural science, especially physics, which is in an idea crisis now? – What can we expect in the near future from studying Tesla’s concepts? – Is it an overstatement to say that Tesla, in 1900 founded the possibility of a global information-oriented society in his famous project – World-wide Wireless System at Wardenclyffe? – Whether it is actually the technical and technological basis of what we now call the “New World order”? – Shall we consider Tesla to be a spiritual precursor of a new scientific and technological civilization named as Tesliana? The Technology of “time design” rules in Tesliana, where the time-shift or rather asynchronicity of various levels of physical processes will be the only and inexhaustible energy source. Tesla’s “World order” was constructed starting from principles of his own inventions. Let’s enumerate some of them. These are: Tesla’s Transformer Motors , i.e. device for creation of electro-vibrations with specific properties; Step-up Transformer – specially designed to excite the Earth (this device with its electrical transmission is analogous to a telescope in astronomy). Tesla’s Wireless System – including certain devices, now considered to be an untouched method to transmit electrical current without wires. Device For Individualization Of A Signal, which in comparison with a primitive method to match signal means the same as advanced language in comparison with 3 inarticulate mumbling. Due to this device, it is possible to transmit secret signals both in passive and in active form, because they do not jam other transmissions and cannot be jammed by them. Any transmission is unique in its rhythm and has individual features; actually, it is an unlimited quantity of stations and instruments, which can act on one or two frequencies and at the same time they would not cause any mutual jamming. Wave Processes In Earth’s Ionosphere ; in popular explanation, this discovery means that the Earth's field reacts on electrical vibrations of a given frequency in the same way as a tuning fork resonates with a certain length of a soundwave. These electrical vibrations can have a strong influence on the Earth's magnetic field. Such resonant effects can be used by different ways to change the universal energy system. THE LUCID EVENT – TESLA IS COMING TO AMERICA Displacing from Europe to United States, June 6, 1884*, Tesla was firstly disappointed with a great change: “I wish that I could put in words my first impressions of this country. In the Arabian Tales I read how genii transported people into a land of dreams to live thru delightful adventures. My case was just the reverse. The genii had carried me from a world of dreams into one of realities. What I had left was beautiful, artistic and fascinating in every way; what I saw here was machined, rough and unattractive. A burly policeman was twirling his stick which looked to me as big as a log. I approached him politely with the request to direct me. “Six blocks down, then to the left,” he said, with murder in his eyes. “Is this America?” I asked myself in painful surprise. “It is a century behind Europe in civilization.” When I went abroad in 1889 – five years having elapsed since my arrival here – I became convinced that it was more than one hundred years AHEAD of Europe and nothing has happened to this day to change my opinion. My inventions, 1919. Ignorant people very often remark why Tesla had destroyed the contract with Westinghouse Company, which could make him extremely rich, and, what is the most important – financially independent in his costly scientific research. They simply do not realize the Tesla`s high spiritual position in the history of mankind. At the time, he was already fully aware that he starts a completely new Civilization based on free environmental energy, robotics, remote controlling and universal consciousness. ................................................ 4 *However when summing up these digits, we get 3, 6, 9 combination: the 6th of June (day of arriving) plus June, the 6th month in the year, equals 12, which finally equals 3. 1+8+8+4 (the year of arriving) equals 21 which is 3 again, while the whole date 6+6+1+8+8+4 equals 6. The day of arriving (6) plus year of arriving (3) equals 9. The same number 9 we get if the Month of arriving (6) is added to year of arriving (6). WHY THIS BOOK NOW Theosophical principle of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky: “There is no higher religion than truth”, is purely scientific one. We are contemporaries of birth of a Unique Common Spirituality of Planetary Mankind. Historically speaking, this time a new, matching type of religiousness shall appear from science. That would be New and Unique Spirituality, matching the Scientology Era of Global Society, above the national cultures and especially above the existing religions, in essence – deeper understanding of real, but still mystical mathematics, the one which creates the World of things.. The united planet needs a new type of religiousness, which would surely be universal teaching of Spiritualized Physics, rooted in transcendental level of existence, pertaining to the very creation of the World, exceeding the cognitive powers of the human mind. Each religion has had its human founder, the Aryans – Rama, Judaism – Moses, Hinduism – Krishna, Zoroasters – Zarathustra, Christians – Christ, Buddhist – Buddha, Moslems – Muhammad. The new scientific religion, matching the scientological global society has its holy scientist, an ascetic, modern monk with highest mental and spiritual properties – Nikola Tesla. What should we do to make this new form of religion – scientific one – prevail at last? We should articulate the modern theosophical thought which would give in physics experimental results based on repeated research of time, space, light and heavy mass based on Tesla Aether Technology. For the beginning, it is necessary to introduce provable Time Hypothesis. Just time, in its pure form, separated from matter, does not appear anywhere, it is outside the human sensory perception, extrasensory foundation of the World, limitless Natural Continuum. The only manifestation of the time is Consciousness, i.e. our whole world, the one we are aware of. Actually, the consciousness or continuity of existence of the World is the main characteristics of Constant Present Time, based on the Law of Continuity of which the World is constantly created (creatio continua). By introducing physical interpretation of the time in the science, even just with the very consciousness about the need to do so, and even with the very intention or wish – not just physics, but all the other sciences rooted in it, and these are actually, all human scientific disciplines, the whole philosophy and human cognizance in general – shall receive new meaning, shall become spiritualized and establish a link with impassable physical reality, the foundation of which is Spirit, for which in physics we have the right name, but the 5 name which we cannot understand scientifically, and this is impassable universal time – Constant Present Time, Eternity. It is always the same time – present time. The present moment is independent of the change of time and mass, is permanently same in itself, it is infinite and immutable; the time doesn’t move, has no flow, or speed. “The world did not originate in time, but has derived from time” St. Augustine, Confessions. The time is not a simple, relative measure for space and mass, like it is observed today, but a fundamental natural law of general cosmic change, and like all exact laws of physics – there is no evolution. What is really ephemeral are space and mass, resulting from time and changing according to the main and the deepest natural law of continuity, common constitutive characteristics of ontological Continuum, mathematical objects of point and zero, (also uninterrupted) and finally, of Constant Present Time, which due to its infinity, has so many coexisting centers (polycentricism). That constant presence, I have to stress, has generic capabilities, creative power. Two times two centers of Ontological Continuum (or physically – of Infinite Present Time) form a radius, which then decomposes the Continuum into internal spherical parts. Diameters of such formed spheres are internal times separating unequal n parts of the space between themselves (smaller spherical space from the bigger one) and the whole space from infinity (spherical space from the point of time).

The goal of this thesis is not to optimize the performance of the Tesla turbine, but to compare its performance with various working fluids. Theoretical and experimental analyses of a turbine-generator assembly utilizing compressed air, saturated steam and water as the working fluids were performed and are presented in this work. A brief background and explanation of the technology is provided along with potential applications. A theoretical thermodynamic analysis is outlined, resulting in turbine and rotor efficiencies, power outputs and Reynolds numbers calculated for the turbine for various combinations of working fluids and inlet nozzles. The results indicate the turbine is capable of achieving a turbine efficiency of 31.17 ± 3.61% and an estimated rotor efficiency 95 ± 9.32%. These efficiencies are promising considering the numerous losses still present in the current design. Calculation of the Reynolds number provided some capability to determine the flow behavior and how that behavior impacts the performance and efficiency of the Tesla turbine. It was determined that turbulence in the flow is essential to achieving high power outputs and high efficiency.

He emigrated in 1884 to the United States, where he became a naturalized citizen. He worked for a short time at the Edison Machine Works in New York City before he struck out on his own. With the help of partners to finance and market his ideas, Tesla set up laboratories and companies in New York to develop a range of electrical and mechanical devices. His alternating current (AC) induction motor and related polyphase AC patents, licensed by Westinghouse Electric in 1888, earned him a considerable amount of money and became the cornerstone of the polyphase system which that company eventually marketed.

  • Tesla's Magnifying Transmitter Principles of Working
    School of Electrical Engineering University of Belgrade Tesla's magnifying transmitter principles of working Dr Jovan Cvetić, full prof. School of Electrical Engineering Belgrade, Serbia [email protected] School of Electrical Engineering University of Belgrade Contens The development of the HF, HV generators with oscilatory (LC) circuits: I - Tesla transformer (two weakly coupled LC circuits, the energy of a single charge in the primary capacitor transforms in the energy stored in the capacitance of the secondary, used by Tesla before 1891). It generates the damped oscillations. Since the coils are treated as the lumped elements the condition that the length of the wire of the secondary coil = quarter the wave length has a small impact on the magnitude of the induced voltage on the secondary. Using this method the maximum secondary voltage reaches about 10 MV with the frequency smaller than 50 kHz. II – The transformer with an extra coil (Magnifying transformer, Colorado Springs, 1899/1900). The extra coil is treated as a wave guide. Therefore the condition that the length of the wire of the secondary coil = quarter the wave length (or a little less) is necessary for the correct functioning of the coil. The purpose of using the extra coil is the generation of continuous harmonic oscillations of the great magnitude (theoretically infinite if there are no losses). The energy of many single charges in the primary capacitor are synchronously transferred to the extra coil enlarging the magnitude of the oscillations of the stationary wave in the coil. The maximum voltage is limited only by the breakdown voltage of the insulation on the top of the extra coil and by its dimensions.

They offer an attractive substitution for small and micro conventional bladed turbines due to two major advantages. In this study, the effects of two influential geometrical parameters, disc thickness and disc spacing distance, on the aerodynamic performance and flow characteristics for two kinds of multichannel Tesla turbines (one-to-one turbine and one-to-many turbine) were investigated and analyzed numerically. The results show that, with increasing disc thickness, the isentropic efficiency of the one-to-one turbine decreases a little and that of the one-to-many turbine reduces significantly. For example, for turbine cases with 0.5 mm disc spacing distance, the former drops less than 7% and the latter decreases by about 45% of their original values as disc thickness increases from 1 mm to 2 mm. With increasing disc spacing distance, the isentropic efficiency of both kinds of turbines increases first and then decreases, and an optimal value and a high efficiency range exist to make the isentropic efficiency reach its maximum and maintain at a high level, respectively.

Navigator Technologies Bhopal, India Abstract: The concept of wireless power transmission method is as old as we are using electricity. N. Tesla the father of wireless power transmission was the first to give an idea of wireless power transmission and he was keenly interested in lightning the world without using wires (WPT).Since then series of experiments were made to make feasible transmission of power where it is not possible and commercially viable by advances, inventions in electronic devices in this field. In this paper we present the concept of wireless power transmission from one place in turn to another. This concept is mainly used for reducing the transmission and distribution losses. This in turn reduces the cost of transmission and distribution and also the cost of electrical energy for the consumers. In this paper we discussed the methods, recent developments in WPT, its merits, demerits and applications. Keywords: Wireless Power Transmission WPT, Radio Frequency RF I. Introduction We know our present system of overhead transmission and distribution has biggest disadvantage is percentage of power loss is around 26 to 28 % during transmission and distribution which is because of resistance of wires of grid. WRI (World resources Institute) says that India's electricity grid has highest T&D losses in the world around 27%.

However, its real-world implementations were limited by the difficulty to maintain laminar flow between rotor disks, transient efficiencies during rotor acceleration, and the lack of other applications that fully utilize the continuous flow outputs. All of the aforementioned limits of Tesla turbines can be addressed by scaling to the microfluidic flow regime. Demonstrated here is a microscale Tesla pump designed and fabricated using a Digital Light Processing (DLP) based 3D printer with 43 µm lateral and 30 µm thickness resolutions. The miniaturized pump is characterized by low Reynolds number of 1000 and a flow rate of up to 12.6 mL/min at 1200 rpm, unloaded. It is capable of driving a mixer network to generate microfluidic gradient. The continuous, laminar flow from Tesla turbines is well-suited to the needs of flow-sensitive microfluidics, where the integrated pump will enable numerous compact lab-on-a-chip applications. Keywords: Tesla turbine; Tesla valve; microfluidic; DLP; 3D printing 1.

  • Prodigal Genius BIOGRAPHY of NIKOLA TESLA 1994 Brotherhood of Life, Inc., 110 Dartmouth, SE, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87106 USA
    Prodigal Genius BIOGRAPHY OF NIKOLA TESLA 1994 Brotherhood of Life, Inc., 110 Dartmouth, SE, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87106 USA "SPECTACULAR" is a mild word for describing the strange experiment with life that comprises the story of Nikola Tesla, and "amazing" fails to do adequate justice to the results that burst from his experiences like an exploding rocket. It is the story of the dazzling scintillations of a superman who created a new world; it is a story that condemns woman as an anchor of the flesh which retards the development of man and limits his accomplishment--and, paradoxically, proves that even the most successful life, if it does not include a woman, is a dismal failure. Even the gods of old, in the wildest imaginings of their worshipers, never undertook such gigantic tasks of world- wide dimension as those which Tesla attempted and accomplished. On the basis of his hopes, his dreams, and his achievements he rated the status of the Olympian gods, and the Greeks would have so enshrined him. Little is the wonder that so-called practical men, with their noses stuck in profit-and-loss statements, did not understand him and thought him strange. The light of human progress is not a dim glow that gradually becomes more luminous with time. The panorama of human evolution is illumined by sudden bursts of dazzling brilliance in intellectual accomplishments that throw their beams far ahead to give us a glimpse of the distant future, that we may more correctly guide our wavering steps today. Tesla, by virtue of the amazing discoveries and inventions which he showered on the world, becomes one of the most resplendent flashes that has ever brightened the scroll of human advancement.
