Nikola Tesla, a renowned inventor, is linked to the intriguing idea of a time machine. Despite his pioneering work in electricity and magnetism, the notion of Tesla creating a time machine remains speculative. #timemachine #nikolatesla https://connectparanormal.net/2024/03/08/teslas-time-machine-fact-or-fiction/

“The earth is bountiful, and where her bounty fails, nitrogen drawn from the air will refertilize her womb.”*…
As the Iran War continues to unfold, there is understandably a great deal of concern about energy prices (and the prices of things that depend on energy). We might forget that the Middle East is also crucial to the world’s fertilizer supply– though not for long, as farmers (along with everyone else in the food chain, all the way down to all of us eaters) are beginning to feel the pain.
But, as Diana Kruzman reports, even as fertilizer trade concerns are growing, a revolutionary sourcing alternative has emerged– one that could make a huge positive difference if it proves out at scale…
The world has an almost insatiable demand for nitrogen. Crops need it to grow, but although it makes up 78 percent of our atmosphere, plants can’t just pull it in from the air the way they do with oxygen. Instead, they rely on bacteria in the soil to convert it into nitrate, a form they can use; in the case of agriculture, think of fertilizer spread by humans. Leaving aside organic options like cow manure, most farmers use ammonia produced mainly from natural gas using a technique called the Haber-Bosch process, which was invented in 1909. [See also here.]
Haber-Bosch is expensive and energy-intensive, responsible for up to two percent of the world’s annual greenhouse gas emissions. It’s also spurred a global nitrogen pollution crisis; as much as two-thirds of nitrogen fertilizer applied to crops is never used, and the excess escapes into the soil, air, and water, raising the cancer risk in nearby communities and contributing to climate change.
Researchers have been trying to find an alternative way to get nitrogen to plants for decades — turning to everything from microbes to human urine. But so far, these scientific advancements haven’t translated into much practical change for farmers, who for the most part still rely on ammonia (which, granted, is getting greener, but is increasingly vulnerable to global price shocks).
That could soon change with the growth in popularity of a new technology known as plasma activated water, or PAW. Around the U.S., scientists and startups are experimenting with this high-tech solution, which uses electricity to pull nitrogen from the air, mix it with water, and create fertilizer straight on the farm. The concept, on the surface, seems suspiciously rosy — on-demand nitrogen, in a form plants can use, at just the cost of electricity (and the initial price of the machine used to make it). But early adopters have told Offrange that it genuinely works…
… PAW uses electricity to transform air into plasma — the fourth state of matter (besides gases, solids, and liquids), which typically forms at high temperatures. When the plasma comes into contact with water, it encourages chemical reactions that form nitrates — the type of nitrogen that plants need. Though this process was actually invented in 1903, even before Haber-Bosch, it required so much energy that it never achieved widespread use.
But in recent years, those energy needs have gone down thanks to the development of “cold plasma” technology, which operates at less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s also used for medical sterilization and food safety, and over the last decade researchers have worked to develop new ways to apply it for agricultural production…

As we count on creativity, we might send healthy birthday greetings to a man who explained one of the central ways in which we depend on the food that we eat, William Cumming Rose; he was born on this date in 1887. A biochemist, he researched amino acids, discovered threonine, and established the importance of the nine essential amino acids in human nutrition (that’s to say, the amino acids that our bodies cannot synthesize and that we must consume in our food). He received the National Medal of Science in 1966.

En la noche del 10 de julio de 1856, durante una fuerte tormenta eléctrica, nació Nikola Tesla en el pequeño pueblo de Smiljan, entonces parte del Imperio austrohúngaro (hoy Croacia).
Según la tradición familiar, un relámpago iluminó el cielo justo en el momento de su nacimiento.
La comadrona lo interpretó como un mal augurio.
Su madre respondió: “No, será un hijo de la luz”.
Con el tiempo, la frase quedó como una de esas coincidencias que parecen escritas después.Su padre, Milutin Tesla, era sacerdote ortodoxo.
Esperaba que su hijo siguiera el mismo camino.
Su madre, Đuka Tesla, no tenía educación formal, pero era extraordinariamente ingeniosa: diseñaba herramientas domésticas y tenía una memoria prodigiosa.
De ella, Tesla heredó la capacidad de visualizar mecanismos complejos en su mente antes de construirlos.La infancia de Tesla no fue sencilla.
Tenía una imaginación desbordante, acompañada de visiones intensas y una memoria casi fotográfica.
Podía recitar libros enteros y realizar cálculos mentales complejos.
Pero también desarrolló obsesiones y manías que lo acompañarían toda su vida.Tenía una fijación con los números, especialmente el tres: repetía acciones, contaba pasos y seguía rutinas estrictas.
Evitaba el contacto físico y tenía una fuerte aversión a los gérmenes.Su mente funcionaba de forma extraordinaria.
Era capaz de visualizar sus inventos con total precisión, probándolos mentalmente antes de construirlos.
Esa capacidad fue clave en su trabajo, pero también venía acompañada de hipersensibilidad a la luz y al sonido.En sus últimos años, sus manías se intensificaron.
Desarrolló un vínculo muy fuerte con las palomas, en especial una blanca a la que decía querer profundamente.No encajaba en su tiempo.
Pero quizá esa misma forma de ser fue lo que le permitió imaginar un mundo que aún no existía.Uno de los episodios que más le marcó fue la muerte de su hermano mayor, Dane, en un accidente.
Tesla tenía solo cinco años. Durante años, vivió bajo la sombra de ese hermano considerado “más brillante”, lo que dejó una huella profunda en su carácter.Estudió ingeniería en Graz y más tarde en Praga, aunque nunca llegó a terminar formalmente sus estudios.
Lo que sí desarrolló fue una capacidad técnica fuera de lo común. Trabajó en Europa antes de dar el salto decisivo: en 1884 llegó a Estados Unidos con poco dinero y una carta de recomendación para Thomas Edison.Aquella relación no terminó bien.
Tesla defendía la corriente alterna; Edison, la continua.
La rivalidad entre ambos acabó convirtiéndose en una guerra tecnológica.
Finalmente, Tesla encontró apoyo en George Westinghouse, y juntos lograron imponer la corriente alterna como el sistema dominante.
Fue un cambio que literalmente iluminó el mundo.A partir de ahí, Tesla encadenó avances: motores eléctricos, la bobina de Tesla, investigaciones clave para la radio… Pero también empezó a alejarse del terreno práctico.
Sus proyectos eran cada vez más ambiciosos, más caros… y más difíciles de financiar.Nunca se casó.
No tuvo hijos.Él mismo afirmaba que su trabajo exigía una dedicación absoluta.
Con los años, su vida se volvió más solitaria.
Sus hábitos se volvieron más rígidos, casi obsesivos.
Evitaba el contacto físico, contaba pasos, repetía rutinas.
Y, aun así, seguía pensando a lo grande.Uno de sus grandes fracasos fue la torre de Wardenclyffe, financiada inicialmente por J. P. Morgan.
Tesla quería transmitir energía y comunicaciones sin cables a escala global.
El proyecto quedó inacabado cuando se retiró la financiación.A partir de ahí, su figura cambió.
De pionero respetado pasó a ser visto como un excéntrico.Y así llegamos al final.
El 7 de enero de 1943, en la habitación 3327 del Hotel New Yorker, murió Nikola Tesla, solo.
Tras su muerte, el gobierno estadounidense revisó sus documentos bajo supervisión del FBI, preocupado por las posibles aplicaciones militares de sus investigaciones en plena guerra.
Días después, miles de personas asistieron a su funeral en Catedral de San Juan el Divino.
No fue un olvido absoluto.
Pero sí un reconocimiento que llegó tarde.Tesla murió sin fortuna, sin familia cercana, sin ver hasta qué punto sus ideas habían cambiado el mundo.
Hoy su nombre está en todas partes.
Pero su historia sigue siendo incómoda: demuestra que el talento no garantiza el reconocimiento… al menos, no en vida.

The one sign that someone is highly intelligent, according to genius inventor Nikola Tesla
-
Nikola Tesla believed that to understand the universe, we must think in energy, frequency, and vibration. This applies directly to our own bodies. When we carry old grief or the noise of past interference, our frequency drops. It is like static on the line preventing a clear connection.
My Math of Love (1 + 1 = 11) relies on this. If my 1 is cluttered and low-energy, it cannot reach that exponential 11 resonance with someone else. The math only works when the frequency is clear.
Tesla imagined wireless energy moving freely through the air. Our self-respect works the same way. When we clear out old files and recalibrate our internal signals, we transmit a clear boundary of what we are worth. This isn’t about searching for love; it is about becoming a beacon of the peace we create within.
By deleting the residue of the past, I am engineering my own resonant peace.
How do you tune your own frequency to stay true to your self-respect?

#NikolaTesla Accurately Predicted the Rise of #Wireless #Technology & the #Smartphone in 1926

So, it seems that technology isn't the problem. It's #HumanGreed! The #IndustrialAge happened not to make life easier for people (though it did in some ways), it was to make money selling shit to make life easier for people (without regard of the consequences -- like PFAS and plastics), and produce cheap shit to profit some fat-cat CEOs and investors. I mean technology is just using tools -- even crows know how to do that! But who is profiting from selling the *tools* that we are told will make our lives easier, faster, more convenient? We know who. People like #NikolaTesla are out there -- willing to create tools to benefit humankind and not destroy the planet. But unfortunately, there are far more #Edisons out there!

The #USGovernment’s Secret Inventions
Secrecy orders allow U.S. defense agencies to control patents, including those that are privately developed.
By Arvind Dilawar
May 09, 20189:00 AM"Invention secrecy in the U.S. dates back to at least the 1930s, but it really took off in the ’40s, when the development of nuclear weapons was shrouded in classification. It became official policy in 1952 with the #InventionSecrecyAct, which allows USPTO to keep patents deemed ‘detrimental to the national security’ on lockdown. Under the act, USPTO’s commissioner of patents became empowered to flag patent applications—even those developed by private citizens—for review by government defense agencies, which could request that certain inventions be kept secret. Patents covered by such ‘secrecy orders’ may be restricted from export, made available only to defense agencies, or even classified. Patent holders can appeal secrecy orders, but the power to rescind those orders remains in the hands of the agencies that made the requests. While there may be a chance those agencies will reconsider, the statistics aren’t promising: According to figures from the Federation of American Scientists, from 2013 through 2017, an average of 25 old secrecy orders were rescinded each year—while 117 new secrecy orders were imposed annually. With so many inventions deemed secret, so few eventually publicized, and the entire process itself obfuscated in classifications, it’s no wonder that critics have questioned whether the current invention-secrecy regime is really working properly.
“FAS has been dogging the patent-secrecy system for three decades now. Founded in 1945 as the Federation of Atomic Scientists by the engineers of the #ManhattanProject, the organization was originally formed to promote nuclear disarmament. As time passed, it renamed itself the Federation of American Scientists and expanded its scope to address additional issues, like chemical weapons, arms sales, and government secrecy in general. In the ’80s, when the Reagan administration and the National Security Agency sought to limit discussion of cryptography using invention secrecy, FAS entered the fray, successfully fighting off government censorship and tracking the USPTO’s secrecy activity ever since."

Way back in the 1990s, I worked as a file clerk for #MIT's legal department. While filing patents for inventions, I noticed the file folder for #PonsAndFleischmann's #coldfusion experiments was empty. When I asked someone about it, they told me the #USGovernment came and #confiscated them. Pons and Fleichmann's experiments did not pan out (or so we were told), but the fact that the government can just grab potentially game-changing inventions was a bit unnerving (and then I found out about #NikolaTesla...).
Revisiting the cold case of cold fusion
by Curtis P. Berlinguette, et al.
Published: 27 May 2019Abstract:
The 1989 claim of ‘cold fusion’ was publicly heralded as the future of clean energy generation. However, subsequent failures to reproduce the effect heightened scepticism of this claim in the academic community, and effectively led to the disqualification of the subject from further study. Motivated by the possibility that such judgement might have been premature, we embarked on a multi-institution programme to re-evaluate cold fusion to a high standard of scientific rigour. Here we describe our efforts, which have yet to yield any evidence of such an effect. Nonetheless, a by-product of our investigations has been to provide new insights into highly hydrided metals and low-energy nuclear reactions, and we contend that there remains much interesting science to be done in this underexplored parameter space.https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1256-6

The Mystery of #NikolaTesla’s Missing Files
The #FBI has finally declassified its files on Nikola Tesla, but questions remain.
By: Sarah Pruitt
Updated: June 1, 2023 | Original: May 3, 2018
"What happened to Tesla’s files from there, as well as what exactly was in those files, remains shrouded in mystery—and ripe for conspiracy theories. After years of fielding questions about possible cover-ups, the FBI finally declassified some 250 pages of Tesla-related documents under the Freedom of Information Act [#FOIA] in 2016. The bureau followed up with two additional releases, the latest in March 2018. But even with the publication of these documents, many questions still remain unanswered—and some of Tesla’s files are still missing.
"Three weeks after the Serbian-American inventor’s death, an electrical engineer from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (#MIT) was tasked with evaluating his papers to determine whether they contained 'any ideas of significant value.' According to the declassified files, Dr. John G. Trump reported that his analysis showed Tesla’s efforts to be 'primarily of a speculative, philosophical and promotional character' and said the papers did 'not include new sound, workable principles or methods for realizing such results.'
"The scientist’s name undoubtedly rings a bell, as John G. Trump was the uncle of the 45th U.S. president, Donald J. Trump. The younger brother of Trump’s father, Fred, he helped design X-ray machines that greatly helped cancer patients and worked on radar research for the Allies during World War II. Donald Trump himself cited his uncle’s credentials often during his presidential campaign. 'My uncle used to tell me about nuclear before nuclear was nuclear,' he once told an interviewer.
"At the time, the FBI pointed to Dr. Trump’s report as evidence that Tesla’s vaunted '#DeathRay' particle beam weapon didn’t exist, outside of rumors and speculation. But in fact, the #USGovernment itself was split in its response to Tesla’s technology. Marc Seifer, author of the biography Wizard: The Life & Times of Nikola Tesla, says a group of military personnel at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, including Brigadier General L.C. Craigee, had a very different opinion of Tesla’s ideas.
"'Craigee was the first person to ever fly a jet plane for the military, so he was like the John Glenn of the day,' Seifer says. 'He said, ‘there’s something to this—the particle beam weapon is real.’ So you have two different groups, one group dismissing Tesla’s invention, and another group saying there’s really something to it.'
"Then there’s the nagging question of the missing files. When Tesla died, his estate was to go to his nephew, Sava Kosanovic, who at the time was the Yugoslav ambassador to the U.S. (thanks to his familial connection with Serbia’s most celebrated inventor). According to the recently declassified documents, some in the FBI feared Kosanovic was trying to wrest control of Tesla’s technology in order to 'make such information available to the enemy,' and even considered arresting him to prevent this.
"In 1952, after a U.S. court declared Kosanovic the rightful heir to his uncle’s estate, Tesla’s files and other materials were sent to Belgrade, Serbia, where they now reside in the Nikola Tesla Museum there. But while the FBI originally recorded some 80 trunks among Tesla’s effects, only 60 arrived in Belgrade, Seifer says. 'Maybe they packed the 80 into 60, but there is the possibility that…the government did keep the missing trunks.'
"For the five-part HISTORY series The Tesla Files, Seifer joined forces with Dr. Travis Taylor, an astrophysicist, and Jason Stapleton, an investigative reporter, to search for these missing files and seek out the truth of the government’s views on the 'Death Ray' particle-beam weapon and Tesla’s other ideas.
"Despite John G. Trump’s dismissive assessment of Tesla’s ideas immediately after his death, the military did try and incorporate #particlebeam weaponry in the decades following World War II, Seifer says. Notably, the inspiration of the 'Death Ray' fueled Ronald Reagan’s #StrategicDefenseInitiative, or 'Star Wars' program, in the 1980s. If the government is still using Tesla’s ideas to power its technology, Seifer explains, that could explain why some files related to the inventor still remain classified.
[...]
"Although some of his more sensitive innovations may still be hidden, Tesla’s legacy is alive and well, both in the devices we use every day, and the technologies that will undoubtedly play a role in our future. 'Tesla is the inventor of #wireless technology. He’s the inventor of the ability to create an unlimited number of wireless channels,' Seifer says of the inventor’s lasting impact. 'So radio guidance systems, #encryption, remote control robots—it’s all based on Tesla’s technology.'"

Novel Means of #Hydrogen Production Using Dual Polarity Control and #WalterRussell's Experiments with #ZeroPointEnergy
1992-08-03
"This paper is a report on an experimental re-examination of the data reported by #WestinghouseLaboratories on the work of Walter Russell. #NikolaTesla was so impressed with the theories and experiments of Walter Russell that he advised Russell to lock his knowledge in the Smithsonian for 1,000 years until mankind was ready.
"Recent research has been conducted by the authors in order to verify Russell's theories and experiments. The experiments that Russell conducted in 1927, which were verified by Westinghouse laboratories have been repeated. Russell reported at that time that he had found a novel way to change to ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in a sealed quartz tube containing water vapor. The use of magnetic fields was shown to produce this effect. The end result of the experiments was to demonstrate a cheap and efficient method of hydrogen production for a hydrogen based fuel economy. Experiments performed to repeat these results have met with some success. This paper will present the theory and results of experiments performed in an attempt to duplicate these tests.
Russell's work also involved the assembly of a device to produce energy from the background flux of fields designated by some researchers zero point energy."Recent research has uncovered experiments that were conducted by Walter and #LaoRussell in conjunction with #Raytheon Corporation in Colorado Springs and General Chapman of #NORAD. The blue prints were discovered to still exist in Colorado Springs and the “#RussellOpticalDynamoGenerator” was found last fall in a basement, intact after 30 years. Documents to be presented will show that Russell reported anomalous effects generated as a result of his circuit configuration and magnetic field interaction."
