Our current energy crisis can be solved and some of the solutions have been around for more than a century. One man saw the need for clean and abundant energy, his name was Nikola Tesla.
He was born in the Austro-Hungarian empire, in a village called Similian in Croatia and came to the United States in 1884 to materialize his inventions. In the US Tesla managed to find the solution that made possible the usage of electricity by anyone in their home. The dispute between Edison and Tesla regarding the transportation of electrical energy was eventually won by Tesla.
fearing that his lab would be destroyed like in New York. He was ecstatic when his enormous oscillator actually produced artificial lightning that was one hundred times more powerful than the spark he had previously obtained in his New York lab. During a violent storm in Colorado, Tesla made one of him most remarkable discoveries:
"I was observing the stationary waves... As impossible as it may seem, this planet, despite its vastness, acts like a normal, small conductor. The amazing importance of this fact for my energy transmission system became very clear in my mind. Not only can it be used to transmit telegraph signals wirelessly at any distance, as I said a long time ago, but also to propagate the modulations of the human voice on the entire globe. Even more so, the transmission of electrical power in unlimited quantities, at any distance and without losses," noted Tesla in his journal. His 9 month work in Colorado Spring is still sketchy. We know that he was able to transmit large quantities of electrical energy, wirelessly, through electromagnetic waves. There is information that he actually managed to transmit a signal at a distance of several miles.
Another thing that Tesla tried was to transmit energy through the ionosphere, at 80 km above the ground. Tesla believed that this part of the atmosphere is conductive, which proved to correct, but he lacked the technical means to transmit the energy at this altitude. There are ways to utilize the energy that surrounds us and Tesla's ideas can help us obtain alternative sources of energy that could one day set us free from the ones that pollute our planet and that could very well poison us all in a matter o
He argued that the usage of alternative current for the transportation of electrical energy was much more efficient than using the continuous current, as Edison wanted.
Tesla did not stop there and made further research on the wireless transmission of energy and the usage of solar power to accelerate the progress of humanity. He believed that the sun is what's keeping our planet alive and that is why he argued that the solution to our ever growing need for energy is to control
