Nikola Tesla. Man from the Future (Story)

00:09 — REGNUM

Inventor Nikola Tesla remained in world history as an outstanding scientist, ahead of his time and whose genius was compared with Leonardo da Vinci. The scientist himself stated that he was working not “for the present,” but “for the future.” He had more than 300 patented inventions alone that changed the engineering world, and there are more than a thousand in total. For example, his inventions formed the basis of modern energy supply, he discovered the principles of robotics and solar-powered engines, he is considered the creator of the compressor, industrial fan, water pump, electric meter, frequency meter, X-ray machine, car speedometer, fluorescent lamps, electric clocks, electrotherapy devices , he improved steam turbines, was engaged in the development of a locomotive, an aircraft, and a car powered by an electric engine. Tesla also predicted the emergence of the Internet and modern gadgets, conducted dangerous scientific experiments on the verge of science and fiction, which shocked even scientists. He argued and competed with Thomas Edison.

At the same time, his personality is shrouded in mystery and mysticism: they say Tesla slept no more than four hours a day, he had visions and aliens, he foresaw the future. The scientist is also credited with experiments with teleportation, “death rays”, his name is associated with the fall of the Tunguska meteorite in Siberia and the “Philadelphia experiment”, which allegedly made an entire ship invisible. Whether this is true or not still remains a mystery, since he burned his archive, stating that “ humanity is not yet ready for the greatness of my inventions».

Let us recall several of the most famous inventions of the genius and the experiments that are attributed to him.

War of Currents, or War with Edison

Tesla's name is associated with the study of alternating current, which the scientist's contemporaries considered “trash and nonsense”, unsuitable for widespread use. His opponent then became Thomas Edison himself, who advocated the use of direct current. Let us remember that direct current moves only in one direction and is difficult to transport over long distances (more than 3 km). That is, when transmitting electricity that occurs through wires, the resistance increases with increasing length of the wire, which entails losses due to heating and, as a result, can lead to dangerous discharges on the switch. Therefore, it was possible to transmit more power by increasing, for example, the thickness of the wires (which is expensive) or increasing the voltage. While alternating current is capable of changing direction several tens of times per second, reaching high voltages (can be converted through transformer stations), and with minimal losses can be transmitted over long distances.

The scientific dispute over how electricity should be conducted and distributed has been called the “war of currents.”

Alternating current was known at that time, but it could not be used because it was single-phase. Tesla proved in practice that alternating current can be multiphase. And he created an engine and an alternating current generator that no one had managed to invent before him. Tesla ceded the patent for the invention of the alternating current generator to a millionaire by agreement for $1 million George Westinghouse, who used it in the construction of the largest power plant at that time - the hydroelectric power station at Niagara Falls.

Thomas Edison, who built a business empire on direct current, staged demonstrations of the dangers of alternating current by killing animals in public to discredit his competitor. After Edison learned from a doctor about the idea of ​​​​using alternating current to kill people, the electric chair was invented. The first to be executed was a man who killed his mistress. In response, Tesla staged legendary demonstrations of the safety of alternating current by passing it through his body to light lamps, shocking even the scientists of the time.

The war of currents went on for more than 100 years, continuing after the death of the scientists. Formally, it ended after New York switched from direct current to alternating current in its energy supply. Today, Tesla's invention is used everywhere to generate and supply energy to homes.

"Tesla Coil"

One of the most spectacular inventions is the Tesla Coil, which is still a success at various shows and can be seen in specialized museums, cinema, and show business. It is a type of resonant transformer circuit and is used to generate high frequency voltage. Tesla created it for experiments with high-voltage charges; in action, the “coil” looks dangerous and at the same time captivates with its beauty: it produces electrical discharges of many meters, similar to lightning.

Speaking of lightning, one can recall an episode from the scientist’s childhood that was etched in his memory for the rest of his life. Once, while stroking a fluffy cat, he noticed sparks appearing between the fur and his hands. Explaining this phenomenon, Tesla's father spoke about the relationship between sparks and lightning and noted that electricity, like a cat, can be tamed. But you always need to remember about the other side - that it can be dangerous, like a natural element. Subsequently, many years of experiments with electricity led to the fact that Tesla began to shun sunlight, and popular rumor attributed to him a relationship with Dracula. In fact, due to regular exposure to electromagnetic fields, he began to see better in the dark, and in the light there was pain in his eyes - this is a rather rare disease. Another phobia that became his lifelong companion was the fear of getting an infection. It got to the point that the scientist did not greet people, constantly washed his hands and refused to eat food if a fly landed on it.

"Wardenclyffe Tower"

Tesla predicted the emergence of the Internet and modern gadgets. The prototype can be considered the project “Wordenclyffe Tower”, or “Tesla Tower”, the essence of which is the use of natural frequencies to transmit energy and an array of data, in modern terms - wireless communication and wireless energy transfer. Ideally, the project could provide access to electricity supplies “from thin air” or from “ether,” which could ruin energy workers.

Speaking about wireless transmission, Tesla stated that

“When the project is completed, the businessman in New York will be able to dictate instructions, and they will immediately appear in his office in London or any other place. He will be able to call any subscriber on the planet from his workplace without changing existing equipment. A cheap device, no larger in size than a watch, will allow its owner to listen to music, songs, speeches of politicians, scientists, and sermons of priests delivered over long distances on water and land. In the same way, any image, symbol, drawing, text can be transferred from one place to another. Millions of such devices can be controlled by a single station. However, more important than all this will be wireless power transmission.”

Today, wireless data transmission is commonplace. And then Tesla’s work was suspended. Researchers are still arguing at what stage these works were closed and what Tesla was able to achieve. Some believe that these studies may have triggered the appearance of the Tunguska meteorite over Russia in 1908.

Puzzles

The scientist was developing an electric car engine. In 1931, he demonstrated a car powered by an AC motor, claiming that it could reach speeds of up to 150 km/h and run for a week without charging. His invention was met with ridicule from his contemporaries; the engine drawings were not preserved.

Shortly before his death, Tesla stated that he had created a kind of “death ray” that concentrated energy capable of destroying 10 thousand aircraft. They also say that he was developing a time machine, a camera for thoughts, and teleportation.

One of the most mysterious is the so-called “Philadelphia Experiment,” which has occupied a special place in science fiction literature and cinema. According to rumors, Tesla collaborated with the military, one of the projects concerned teleportation and technology for protecting ships from radar. But these developments were allegedly not completed - the scientist died of heart failure. Also, according to rumors, after Tesla’s death, the military decided to experiment on his developments. But the electromagnetic field allegedly created around the destroyer Eldridge made it invisible not only to radar, but also to the human eye. The destroyer simply disappeared. They also say that the ship and its crew teleported - they allegedly saw it 200 kilometers from the place of the experiment. As a result of the experiment, team members lost orientation in time and space and suffered mental disorders.

The secrets of the scientist and inventions still haunt the minds of scientists. Tesla himself said:

“The great mysteries of our existence have yet to be unraveled; even death may not be the end.”

Another film about an amazing, incredibly talented and no less mysterious person. - a man who designed and created apparatuses, devices and machines that had no equal in his time, and some are not subject to even understanding in ours!

I think that some people still do not know that all modern electrical devices are able to function precisely thanks to this scientist, who found a way to produce alternating current. Street lamps for a country house, chandeliers, lanterns are lit thanks to him, but this is only a small part of his colossal work.

Tesla's experiments on extracting energy from the world's ether are considered by Einstein's apostles to be proof that he was a hoaxer. He knew this and left their understanding to the future. His ability to operate with large volumes of energy was so high that the “Tunguska phenomenon” in all respects is explained only by the hypothesis that Tesla created it from the Wardenclyffe tower. “Serious scientists” categorically object to this, since then its efficiency is not even 100%, but 100,000. They cannot go beyond the Second Law of Thermodynamics. But who said that Tesla transmitted such power from Wardenclyffe Tower? This was a control signal for extracting energy of such a multiplicity from the World Ether. Tesla's ability to control energy was so high that he feared that his inventions, if they fell into the hands of immoral people, could become dangerous for the planet as a whole, and therefore he left their understanding to the future.

Now, to explain the physical state of the Universe, unbiased scientists are again turning to the theory of the world ether. Mendeleev in his work “An Attempt at a Chemical Understanding of the World Ether” wrote: “Since the 70s, the question has been persistently stuck in my mind: what is ether in the chemical sense? It is closely related to the periodic system of elements...” “As far as we know, it represents a completely homogeneous incompressible continuous body that cannot be decomposed into simpler elements or atoms; indeed, it is continuous, but not molecular. There is no other body of which we can say this, and therefore the properties of the ether must be somewhat different from the properties of ordinary matter." He found a place for it in his table and called this noble gas, which has the property of superpermeability and a mass much less than the mass of helium, the X-element. Therefore, it cannot be compressed like other gases; it will leak through anything. Its mass should be, according to Mendeleev's calculations, approximately 0.000013 the mass of hydrogen, which coincided with the calculations of the weight of Lord Kelvin's ether particles, the model of which Tesla used. If we add up the masses of the electron and positron, then the result, in order of magnitude, also turns out to be close to the mass of ether particles according to Kelvin and Mendeleev.

Nikola Tesla is a man from the future.

Asynchronous motor, transformer, radio and much more. The listed inventions alone are enough to appreciate the genius of hi-tech. Much less has been written about him than he deserves and even less is true. On January 10, 1943, news from the world media reported the death of Nikola Tesla. He died on the night of January 7–8, 1943, at the age of 87.
The great inventor Nikola Tesla has many fans. This was a man whose genius was far removed from the great minds of today. His intelligence seemed almost unearthly at times. Some have speculated that such a remarkable man may not have emerged from the womb of his mother earth, but rather was the product of extraterrestrial intervention.

Tesla's achievements are not talked about as much as he deserves.
Only the “Tesla inductor” is publicly recognized, but few know about the person after whom it was named. Textbooks often did not devote space on their pages to this great man, and teachers rarely spoke his name. Fortunately, recognition of a great genius is coming. It is no exaggeration to say that Nikola Tesla was the man who invented the 20th century.

The mystery remains.
We know that the US Patent Office has granted patents to many of Tesla's inventions. The AC electric motor is an excellent example of one of Tesla's world-changing inventions.

However, Tesla also invented an unknown number of other things that were never patented for one reason or another. Tesla had a keen sense of possible financial interest in his inventions, but he also continued to work and develop technologies simply for his own curiosity. We actually know nothing about these inventions.

Tesla's amazing registered patents reflect only that part of his dedicated, practical work that was carried to its logical conclusion. He often complained that he did not have enough time to organize the race of ideas in his head, so many ideas remained just a brilliant insight.

Some of them - the achievement of ultra-high vacuum, the development of a rocket engine, experiments with directed beams and solar energy - simply do not fit into the early 20th century. He was often pleased that the results of his work were being published. For example, everyone knows the therapeutic method called diathermy. This method is still widely used in physiotherapy. However, not many people know its author. Other ideas were simply written down without any attempt to patent them or even make them public.

We now know that Nikola Tesla was interested in many things, he was skilled in such "wild" ideas as free energy, anti-gravity, invisibility and even time travel.

In 1898, Tesla announced his invention - a tele-automatic boat controlled by remote control. This statement was received with extreme skepticism. But Tesla successfully demonstrated his boat in front of a crowd at Madison Square Garden.

In Colorado Springs, Colorado, where he had been since May 1899. Before the beginning of 1900, Tesla made what he regarded as his most important discovery - stationary terrestrial oscillations. With this discovery he proved that the Earth could be used as a conductor and would be as responsive as a tuning fork to electrical vibrations of a certain frequency. He also lit 200 lamps wirelessly at a distance of 40 kilometers and created artificial lightning 41 meters long. He was once convinced that he had received signals from another planet in his Colorado laboratory, but some scientific journals began to ridicule him.

Now both the USA and Russia are armed with electromagnetic weapons (active particle beam), which are based on technology from some of Tesla's "wild" ideas. This weapon was created in the early 1970s, but the principle of its operation was proposed by Tesla many decades ago.

Small discoveries lead to big things.

In 1895 While conducting research with his transformer, Nikola Tesla had the first hunch that time and space could be changed under the influence of an extremely charged rotating magnetic field. This discovery was partially confirmed by Tesla's experiments with radio frequencies and the transmission of electricity through the atmosphere.

However, Tesla's experiments were not brought to their logical conclusion. A few years later, an attempt was made to implement the ideas of the outstanding engineer, which led to the infamous.
But before these top-secret military programs came into being, Tesla made some exciting discoveries about the nature of time and the real possibilities of time travel.

By conducting experiments in high-voltage electricity and magnetic fields, Tesla discovered that time and space could be disrupted, or distorted, and a "window" could be created into other time periods. But along with discovering these monumental properties of space and time, Tesla, also discovered, through personal experience, the real dangers associated with time travel.

Tesla's first time travel incident occurred in March 1895. On March 13, a New York Herald reporter recorded that he encountered the inventor in a small cafe. Tesla looked shocked. A couple of hours ago he was struck by a shock of 3.5 million watts of electricity. "I am afraid," said Tesla, "that you will not consider me a pleasant companion this evening. The fact is that I was almost killed today. The spark jumped three feet and through the air struck me here on the right shoulder. If my assistant had not turned off the current immediately, then perhaps this was the end of me."

While conducting experiments with an electrode resonating an electromagnetic charge, Tesla came under attack. He reported that he could see the past, present and future at the same time. Within this electromagnetic field he was paralyzed, unable to help himself. His assistant turned off the current and freed Tesla before irreparable damage was caused to the inventor's health. A similar experience occurred several years later during. Unfortunately, for the seafarers involved, with detrimental consequences.

And today we are surrounded by rumors and speculation about who became the heir to Tesla’s research. There is hope that someday these secrets will be revealed once and for all.

Man from the Future

Modern Prometheus

At exactly eight o'clock, an aristocratic-looking man of about thirty was shown to his usual table in the Palm Room of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Tall, slender and elegantly dressed, he was the center of attention, although most, aware of the inventor's need for privacy, pretended not to look at him.

As always, eighteen linen napkins lay in front of him. Nikola Tesla could not explain why he gravitated towards numbers divisible by three, just as he could not explain why he had a pathological horror of germs. Or, for that matter, why he was so obsessively besieged by the many strange ideas that filled his life.

He began absentmindedly wiping the already sparkling silver and crystal, taking and discarding one napkin after another. A mound of starch formed on the serving table. Then, as each dish appeared, he made sure to calculate its volume before lifting the piece to his mouth. Otherwise, food would not bring him pleasure.

Visitors to the Palm Hall, who often come here to catch a glimpse of the inventor, could easily notice that he did not order dishes from the menu. Usually they were prepared for his arrival in accordance with the instructions he gave over the phone. Now they were served to him, not by the waiter, but, at his request, by the head waiter himself

While Tesla was meticulously assessing the dish he had brought, William Vanderbilt, passing by, paused for a moment and reproached the young Serb for not using Vanderbilt's box at the opera. Soon after his departure, a scholarly-looking man with a Van Dyck beard and small rimless glasses approached Tesla's table and greeted him with special courtesy. Robert Underwood Johnson, magazine publisher and poet, was a great ambitious and notorious social bon vivant.

Showing his teeth in a smile, Johnson leaned down and told the inventor in the ear of the latest rumors transmitted among the “400 chosen”: the modest schoolgirl Ann Morgan, it seems, was inflamed with love for the inventor and is begging her dad, J. Pierpont, to introduce her.

Tesla smiled his characteristic reserved smile and inquired about Johnson's wife, Katherine.

“Kate asked me to bring you to lunch on Sunday,” Johnson replied.

For some time they talked about another guest who Tesla liked very much, but only in a platonic way - the charming young pianist Margaret Merington. Finding out that she would also be at the dinner, Tesla accepted the invitation.

The publisher went on his way, and Tesla returned to calculating the volume of his dessert. Before he could finish his calculations, a messenger appeared at his table with a note. He immediately recognized the careless handwriting of his friend Mark Twain. “If you don’t have more interesting plans for the evening,” the comedian wrote, “perhaps you’ll join me at the Players Club?”

Tesla quickly wrote back: “Alas, I have to work. But if you join me at midnight in my laboratory, I think I can promise you some good entertainment.”

As usual, it was exactly ten o'clock when Tesla rose from his table and disappeared into the unevenly lit streets of Manhattan.

On the way to his laboratory, he turned into a small park and whistled softly. From the wall of the nearest house came the rustling of wings. And soon something unclear, with white trembling outlines, descended onto his shoulder. Tesla took out a bag of grain, fed the dove from his hand and released her into the night with a light whiff of an air kiss.

Now he was thinking about his future path. If you keep walking around the block, it will take three times longer. Sighing, he turned and walked towards his laboratory, 33-35 South Fifth Avenue (now West Broadway) near Bleecker Street.

Entering the dark lobby of a familiar building with an attic, he turned on the switch. Lamps like long tubes flashed brightly, illuminating the space filled with the outlines of mysterious mechanisms. The amazing thing about this light was that it had no contact with the electrical circuit running around the ceiling. The tubes received energy from the surrounding force field wire. You could take the light tube and freely move it anywhere in the workshop.

In the corner, a new contraption began to vibrate silently. Tesla narrowed his eyes with pleasure. Here, under some semblance of a platform, a tiny oscillator was working. Only one inventor knew its terrifying power.

Tesla looked thoughtfully through the window at the dark outlines of multi-story buildings visible below. His hard-working immigrant neighbors seemed to be sleeping peacefully. The police warned him about their complaints about the blue lights flashing from his windows and the electrical crackles that echoed through the dark streets.

He shrugged his shoulders and began to adjust something in the mechanism. Extremely concentrated, he was not aware of the passage of time until he heard a knock on the door.

Tesla hurried down to greet the English journalist from Pearson's Magazine, Chauncey McGovern.

"I'm so glad you could come, Mr. McGovern."

“I felt like I owed it to my readers. Everybody in London is talking about the New Wizard of the West, but they don't mean Mr. Edison."

“Well, get up. Let's see if I can live up to my reputation."

They were about to go upstairs, when suddenly laughter and a voice that Tesla recognized were heard near the front door.

“Oh, this is Mark.”

He opened the door again to admit Mark Twain and actor Joseph Jefferson. Both came straight from the Players Club. Twain's eyes sparkled with impatience.

“Let's put on a show, Tesla. You know what I always say?”

“No, what do you say, Mark?” - the inventor asked with a smile.

“The way I usually talk and remind you, they will later quote: “Thunder is good, thunder is impressive, but lightning does the work.”

“Then, my friend, today we will have a hurricane of work done. Let's go to".

McGovern subsequently recalled: “In order not to get a strong shock at the sight of Nikola Tesla’s laboratory, you need to have an unusually stable mind.”

“Imagine that you are sitting in a large, well-lit room, among many mechanisms of the most amazing appearance. A tall, thin young man approaches you and, with a simple snap of his fingers, instantly creates a ball of vibrating red flame and calmly holds it in his hands. You stare in surprise at how he manages not to burn his fingers. He drops this ball on his clothes, hair, on your lap and finally places the fireball in a wooden box. You notice with amazement that the flame does not leave the slightest trace anywhere, and you rub your eyes to make sure it’s not a dream.”

If McGovern was confused by Tesla's fireball, he was not alone. None of his contemporaries could explain how Tesla performed his oft-repeated spectacular “trick,” just as no one can explain it to this day.

Nikola Tesla is a man from the future.

Man from the future. Nikola Tesla
26 min., 179 MB

New York, 48 East Houston Street. A strange scientist, unsociable, with a feverish gleam of black eyes lived at this address. There were rumors that he was a “relative of Count Dracula” and a vampire himself who could not stand sunlight... They also said that he created a weapon capable of tearing the globe to pieces. Nikola Tesla.

In fact, Nikola Tesla had nothing to do with Dracula. On the contrary, he was born into the family of an Orthodox priest. And he really avoided sunlight - because he was often exposed to powerful electromagnetic fields and his nerves acquired special sensitivity. The bright light hurt my eyes, the quiet rustling sounded like thunder. But he saw perfectly in the dark.

Rumors about destructive weapons also did not arise out of nowhere. Once Tesla conducted a series of experiments studying the processes of self-oscillations. And suddenly the tables and cabinets in the laboratory shook
Ratorii. Then the glass in the windows began to ring... Passers-by on the streets heard a strange hum. Buildings vibrated, glass fell from windows, gas and heating pipes and water pipes burst. It was the Great New York earthquake. They say that the entire city did not fall into ruins only because Tesla turned off the devices in time. True, official science claims that the experiment simply coincided with a natural disaster. But there is another opinion - the vibrations of the earth were caused by the operation of its installation. This possibility does not seem entirely incredible. After all, we are talking about Nikola Tesla!

Nikola Tesla, the greatest inventor, is undeservedly rarely remembered in physics textbooks.

He discovered alternating current, fluorescent light, wireless energy transmission, built a
The first electric clock, turbine, solar-powered engine.

He invented radio before Marconi and Popov, received three-phase current before Dolivo-Dobrovolsky.

Essentially, the entire energy industry of the 20th century grew on his patents. But this was not enough for him. Tesla worked for several decades on the problem of energy in the entire Universe.

I studied what moves the sun and luminaries. I tried to learn how to control cosmic energy myself. And establish connections with other worlds. Tesla did not consider all this to be his merit. He assured that he was simply acting as a conductor of ideas coming from the ether.
