Tesla Generator: The Transmission of Electric Energy Without Wires
The Tesla Generator
In 1904 Nikola Tesla wrote a paper called The Transmission of Electric Energy Without Wires.
Tesla talks about his systematic research with the tesla generator which he carried out for a number of years in Colorado Springs.
He talks of 3 important factors:
- To develop a transmitter of great power
- Perfect the means for individualizing and isolating the energy transmitted
- Ascertain the laws of propagation of currents through the earth and the atmosphere.
Later in the paper Tesla Talks about the general excitement about the tesla generator and anticipation at the time.
“When the great truth accidentally revealed and experimentally confirmed is fully recognized, that this planet, with all its appalling immensity, is to electric currents virtually no more than a small metal ball and that by virtue of this fact many possibilities, each baffling imagination and of incalculable consequence, are rendered absolutely sure of accomplishment; when the first plant is inaugurated and it is shown that a telegraphic message, almost as secret and non-interferable as a thought, can be transmitted to any terrestrial distance, the sound of the human voice, with all its intonations and inflections faithfully and instantly reproduced at any other point of the globe, the energy of a waterfall made available for supplying light, heat or motive power, anywhere, on sea, land, or high in the air – humanity will be like an ant heap stirred up with a stick.
See the excitement coming!”
