February 18, 1994 RADNRG.ASC -------------------------------------------------------------------- This file is from the now defunct Plenum newsletter, put out by Vangard Sciences a long time back. Volume 1 - Number 3 back in September-October 1989 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Also take the file RADNRG.GIF which illustrates the Tesla patent. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Tesla on Radiant Energy It is well known that certain radiations - such as those of ultra- violet light, cathodic, Roentgen rays, or the like - possess the property of charging and discharging conductors of electricity, the discharge being particularly noticeable when the conductor upon which the rays impinge is negatively electrified. These radiations are generally considered to be Aether vibrations of extremely small wavelengths, and in explanation of the phenomena noted it has been assumed by some authorities that they ionize or render conducting the atmosphere through which they are propagated. My own experiments and observations, however, lead me to conclusions more in accord with the theory heretofore advance by me that sources of such radiant energy throw off with great velocity MINUTE PARTICLES OF MATTER which are strongly ELECTRIFIED, and therefore capable of charging an electrical conductor, or, even if not so, may at any rate DISCHARGE AN ELECTRIFIED CONDUCTOR either by carrying off bodily its charge or otherwise. A discovery which I have made shows that when rays or radiations of the above kind are permitted to fall upon an INSULATED CONDUCTING- BODY connected to one of the terminals of a condenser while the other terminal of the same is made by independent means to RECEIVE OR CARRY AWAY electricity, a current flows into the condenser so long as the insulated body is exposed to the rays an INDEFINITE ACCUMULATION of electrical energy in the condenser takes place. This energy, after a suitable time interval, during which the rays are allowed to act, may manifest itself in a powerful discharge, which may be utilized for operation or control of mechanical or electrical devices or rendered useful in many other ways. The insulated plate or conducting-body should present AS LARGE A SURFACE AS PRACTICABLE to the rays or the streams of matter. Furthermore, the surface should be clean and preferably HIGHLY POLISHED or coated. The second terminal or armature of the Page 1 condenser may be connected to one of the poles of a battery or other source of electricity or to any conducting body or object whatever, of such properties or so conditioned that by its means ELECTRICITY OF THE REQUIRED SIGN will be supplied to the terminal. A simple way of supplying positive or negative electricity to the terminal is to connect the same either to an insulated conductor supported at some height in the atmosphere or to a grounded conductor, THE FORMER, AS IS WELL KNOWN, FURNISHING POSITIVE AND THE LATTER, NEGATIVE ELECTRICITY. The sun, as well as other sources of radiant energy, throws of MINUTE PARTICLES of matter POSITIVELY ELECTRIFIED, which impinging upon a conducting plate, will communicate continuously upon the plate an electrical charge. The opposite terminal of the condenser being connected to the ground, which may be considered as a VAST RESERVOIR OF NEGATIVE ELECTRICITY, a feeble current FLOWS CONTINUOUSLY into the condenser, and inasmuch as these suppposed particles are of an inconceivably small radius or curvature, and consequently charged to a relatively very high potential, this charging of the condenser may continue, as I have actually observed, ALMOST INDEFINITELY, even to the point of RUPTURING THE DIELECTRIC. (what follows is excerpted from the Tesla Patent 685,957) Apparatus for the Utilization of Radiant Energy - 11/05/1901 As light strikes the highly polished plate, the highly electrified particles which stream from all radiant masses is accumulated on the plate surface. The electrical energy is accumulated on the capacitor plate and prevented from discharging by the damming action of the dielectric. When the electrical breakdown value of the capacitor dielectric can no longer hold back the intense pressure (voltage) which has built up on the plate, a miniature lightning bolt passes through the dielectric to the bottom plate of the capacitor to establish equilibrium of potential. If the capacitor has an exceedingly high dielectric value (high capacitance) then the energy will take the least path of resistance, which will be across the load as represented by the spark gap spheres common to Tesla's drawings. -------------------------------------------------------------------- This perfectly illustrates what Walter Russell taught, that ALL ENERGY flows in Nature begin as an unpolarized or neutral energy. When separated, the energies take on both a spin (opposite to each other) and a potential proportional to the distance of the separation. These two polarized forces do all within their power to return to the common state of neutrality. Another excellent example of this comes from the work of the Russian scientist Kozyrev. He used a rubber band as a simple example of the desire of opposites to rejoin. Potential difference increases as the opposite spins tighten. -------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have comments or other information relating to such topics as this paper covers, please upload to KeelyNet or send to the Vangard Sciences address as listed on the first page.
