Nikola Tesla 1856-1943

  

used acrylic, ballpoint pen, gel pen, pastels, mechanical pencil, hb pencils & charcoal on canson mixed media sketching paper 11x14

Time:3-4hrs

  

Dedicated to the memory of Nikola Tesla. He gives me inspiration. This man's face is very unique so it has been very hard for me to draw so this isn't an exact likeness which is why I tried to capture his image in an abstract way. Well, gave it the best I could and I think it came out ok so i'm not too disappointed with it.

  

Not sure many people know this of him but the government seized over 700 patents of his. Patents which could have transformed our planet forever( in the good kind of way) For instance...free energy would be one of the main focal points. A lot of the people who were financing him at the time like JP MORGAN which ( is not in the free energy business lol ) finally found about the purposes his inventions and stop financing him. Also an interesting thought...Tomas Edison used his Alternating Current to kill a variety of animals including even a horse some say in order to discredit and shame his reputation. Also the fist electric chair was used in the sentencing of someone to death with alternating current also to show Tesla's invention as cruel and inhumane to further discredit...What is really amazing to me is that some of his inventions is said to have come from dreams.

  

Nikola Tesla is finally beginning to attract real attention and encourage serious debate more than 70 years after his death.

  

Was he for real? A crackpot? Part of an early experiment in corporate-government control?

  

We know that he was undoubtedly persecuted by the energy power brokers of his day -- namely Thomas Edison, whom we are taught in school to revere as a genius. He was also attacked by J.P. Morgan and other "captains of industry." Upon Tesla's death on January 7th, 1943, the U.S. government moved into his lab and apartment confiscating all of his scientific research, some of which has been released by the FBI through the Freedom of Information Act. (I've embedded the first 250 pages below and have added a link to the .pdf of the final pages, 290 in total).

  

Besides his persecution by corporate-government interests (which is practically a certification of authenticity), there is at least one solid indication of Nikola Tesla's integrity -- he tore up a contract with Westinghouse that was worth billions in order to save the company from paying him his huge royalty payments.

  

But, let's take a look at what Nikola Tesla -- a man who died broke and alone -- has actually given to the world. For better or worse, with credit or without, he changed the face of the planet in ways that perhaps no man ever has.

     

1. Alternating Current-- This is where it all began, and what ultimately caused such a stir at the 1893 World's Expo in Chicago. A war was leveled ever-after between the vision of Edison and the vision of Tesla for how electricity would be produced and distributed. The division can be summarized as one of cost and safety: The DC current that Edison (backed by General Electric) had been working on was costly over long distances, and produced dangerous sparking from the required converter (called a commutator). Regardless, Edison and his backers utilized the general "dangers" of electric current to instill fear in Tesla's alternative: Alternating Current. As proof, Edison sometimes electrocuted animals at demonstrations. Consequently, Edison gave the world the electric chair, while simultaneously maligning Tesla's attempt to offer safety at a lower cost. Tesla responded by demonstrating that AC was perfectly safe by famously shooting current through his own body to produce light. This Edison-Tesla (GE-Westinghouse) feud in 1893 was the culmination of over a decade of shady business deals, stolen ideas, and patent suppression that Edison and his moneyed interests wielded over Tesla's inventions. Yet, despite it all, it is Tesla's system that provides power generation and distribution to North America in our modern era.

  

2. Light -- Of course he didn't invent light itself, but he did invent how light can be harnessed and distributed. Tesla developed and used fluorescent bulbs in his lab some 40 years before industry "invented" them. At the World's Fair, Tesla took glass tubes and bent them into famous scientists' names, in effect creating the first neon signs. However, it is his Tesla Coil that might be the most impressive, and controversial. The Tesla Coil is certainly something that big industry would have liked to suppress: the concept that the Earth itself is a magnet that can generate electricity (electromagnetism) utilizing frequencies as a transmitter. All that is needed on the other end is the receiver -- much like a radio.

  

3. X-rays -- Electromagnetic and ionizing radiation was heavily researched in the late 1800s, but Tesla researched the entire gamut. Everything from a precursor to Kirlian photography, which has the ability to document life force, to what we now use in medical diagnostics, this was a transformative invention of which Tesla played a central role. X-rays, like so many of Tesla's contributions, stemmed from his belief that everything we need to understand the universe is virtually around us at all times, but we need to use our minds to develop real-world devices to augment our innate perception of existence.

  

4. Radio -- Guglielmo Marconi was initially credited, and most believe him to be the inventor of radio to this day. However, the Supreme Court overturned Marconi's patent in 1943, when it was proven that Tesla invented the radio years previous to Marconi. Radio signals are just another frequency that needs a transmitter and receiver, which Tesla also demonstrated in 1893 during a presentation before The National Electric Light Association. In 1897 Tesla applied for two patents US 645576, and US 649621. In 1904, however, The U.S. Patent Office reversed its decision, awarding Marconi a patent for the invention of radio, possibly influenced by Marconi's financial backers in the States, who included Thomas Edison and Andrew Carnegie. This also allowed the U.S. government (among others) to avoid having to pay the royalties that were being claimed by Tesla.

  

5. Remote Control -- This invention was a natural outcropping of radio. Patent No. 613809 was the first remote controlled model boat, demonstrated in 1898. Utilizing several large batteries; radio signals controlled switches, which then energized the boat's propeller, rudder, and scaled-down running lights. While this exact technology was not widely used for some time, we now can see the power that was appropriated by the military in its pursuit of remote controlled war. Radio controlled tanks were introduced by the Germans in WWII, and developments in this realm have since slid quickly away from the direction of human freedom.

  

6. Electric Motor -- Tesla's invention of the electric motor has finally been popularized by a carbrandishing his name. While the technical specifications are beyond the scope of this summary, suffice to say that Tesla's invention of a motor with rotating magnetic fields could have freed mankind much sooner from the stranglehold of Big Oil. However, his invention in 1930 succumbed to the economic crisis and the world war that followed. Nevertheless, this invention has fundamentally changed the landscape of what we now take for granted: industrial fans, household applicances, water pumps, machine tools, power tools, disk drives, electric wristwatches and compressors.

  

7. Robotics -- Tesla's overly enhanced scientific mind led him to the idea that all living beings are merely driven by external impulses. He stated: "I have by every thought and act of mine, demonstrated, and does so daily, to my absolute satisfaction that I am an automaton endowed with power of movement, which merely responds to external stimuli." Thus, the concept of the robot was born. However, an element of the human remained present, as Tesla asserted that these human replicas should have limitations -- namely growth and propagation. Nevertheless, Tesla unabashedly embraced all of what intelligence could produce. His visions for a future filled with intelligent cars, robotic human companions, and the use of sensors, and autonomous systems are detailed in a must-read entry in the Serbian Journal of Electrical Engineering, 2006 (PDF).

  

8. Laser -- Tesla's invention of the laser may be one of the best examples of the good and evil bound up together within the mind of man. Lasers have transformed surgical applications in an undeniably beneficial way, and they have given rise to much of our current digital media. However, with this leap in innovation we have also crossed into the land of science fiction. From Reagan's "Star Wars" laser defense system to today's Orwellian "non-lethal" weapons' arsenal, which includes laser rifles and directed energy "death rays," there is great potential for development in both directions.

  

9 and 10. Wireless Communications and Limitless Free Energy -- These two are inextricably linked, as they were the last straw for the power elite -- what good is energy if it can't be metered and controlled? Free? Never. J.P. Morgan backed Tesla with $150,000 to build a tower that would use the natural frequencies of our universe to transmit data, including a wide range of information communicated through images, voice messages, and text. This represented the world's first wireless communications, but it also meant that aside from the cost of the tower itself, the universe was filled with free energy that could be utilized to form a world wide web connecting all people in all places, as well as allow people to harness the free energy around them. Essentially, the 0's and 1's of the universe are embedded in the fabric of existence for each of us to access as needed. Nikola Tesla was dedicated to empowering the individual to receive and transmit this data virtually free of charge. But we know the ending to that story . . . until now?

  

Tesla had perhaps thousands of other ideas and inventions that remain unreleased. A look at his hundred of patents shows a glimpse of the scope he intended to offer. If you feel that the additional technical and scientific research of Nikola Tesla should be revealed for public scrutiny and discussion, instead of suppressed by BIG INDUSTRY and even our supposed institutions of higher education, join the world's call to tell power brokers everywhere that we are ready to Occupy Energy and learn about what our universe really has to offer.

  

The release of Nikola Tesla's technical and scientific research -- specifically his research into harnessing electricity from the ionosphere at a facility called Wardenclyffe -- is a necessary step toward true freedom of information

  

Like a wave in the physical world, in the infinite ocean of the medium which pervades all, so in the world of organisms, in life, an impulse started proceeds onward, at times, may be, with the speed of light, at times, again, so slowly that for ages and ages it seems to stay, passing through processes of a complexity inconceivable to men, but in all its forms, in all its stages, its energy ever and ever integrally present. A single ray of light from a distant star falling upon the eye of a tyrant in bygone times may have altered the course of his life, may have changed the destiny of nations, may have transformed the surface of the globe, so intricate, so inconceivably complex are the processes in Nature. In no way can we get such an overwhelming idea of the grandeur of Nature than when we consider, that in accordance with the law of the conservation of energy, throughout the Infinite, the forces are in a perfect balance, and hence the energy of a single thought may determine the motion of a universe-Nikola Tesla

History books may say that only twelve men have walked on the surface of the Moon, but I’m posting this photo in honor of the Thirteenth Moonwalker, who not only walked the moon, but danced over it with such style and genius that he changed our own planet forever. Michael Jackson and I are of the same generation (we were born almost exactly a year apart). I feel like I grew up with him being kind of like my younger, genius brother. I watched him evolve from the youngest member of a family singing group to the undisputed King of Pop. He was all of the cool things I wanted be as a kid, but could never be: brilliant singer, songwriter, dancer, choreographer, mega-pop star. Hearing yesterday that he was suddenly gone left me with a palpable feeling of emptiness, as well as a certain sense of disbelief. I had a poignant, personal experience that turned hopeful disbelief into reality, as I was driving home yesterday afternoon on Doheny Drive in Beverly Hills. While listening to a real-time news report about Michael's body leaving the UCLA Medical Center aboard a L.A. County Sheriff's helicopter, I looked up and saw the helicopter pass close overhead on its way to the Coroner's Office. My eyes teared at the sight and I felt a lump in my throat as a feeling of genuine loss overcame me.

 

I know my own photographic tribute here is rather crude -- I suppose it's how one would expect a scientist to express himself, so here are some links to tributes from a few of my Flickr friends who have honored Michael in particularly beautiful ways:

Always flirt with death

I could kill but I don't care about it

I can face your threats

Stand up tall and scream and shout about it

 

I think I'm on another world with you

I'm on another planet with you

 

You always get under my skin

I don't find it irritating

You always play to win

I don't need rehabilitating

 

Another girl, another planet

Another girl, another planet

 

Space travel's in my blood

And there ain't nothing I can do about it

Long journeys wear me out but

Oh god, you know we won't live without it

 

Another girl is loving you now

Another planet forever holding you down

Nikola Tesla 1856-1943

 

Mediums used: acrylic, watercolor, gen pen and pastels on canvas panel

 

Dedicated to the memory of Nikola Tesla. He gives me inspiration. This man's face is very unique so it has been very hard for me to draw so this isn't an exact likeness which is why I tried to capture his image in an abstract way. Well, gave it the best I could and I think it came out ok so i'm not too disappointed with it.

 

Not sure many people know this of him but the government seized over 700 patents of his. Patents which could have transformed our planet forever( in the good kind of way) For instance...free energy would be one of the main focal points. A lot of the people who were financing him at the time like JP MORGAN which ( is not in the free energy business lol ) finally found about the purposes his inventions and stop financing him. Also an interesting thought...Tomas Edison used his Alternating Current to kill a variety of animals including even a horse some say in order to discredit and shame his reputation. Also the fist electric chair was used in the sentencing of someone to death with alternating current also to show Tesla's invention as cruel and inhumane to further discredit...

But, let's take a look at what Tesla-- a man who died broke and alone -- has actually given to the world. For better or worse, with credit or without, he changed the face of the planet in ways that perhaps no man ever has.

 

1. Alternating Current

8. Robotics

9. Radio

A single thought may determine the motion of a universe....

This young Sandhill Crane was with its parents, standing along the side of the road, near the celery fields in Sarasota. I was on the way out to Myakka River State Park. I just happened to see a few of them standing there on the road side.

This group was very calm and allowed me to get within 5 or 6 feet from them. There were two youngsters and 3 pair of adults. I have never seen two juveniles together, they usually only have one.

The adults head feathers are a deeper red, this one was almost completely mature and will probably be separating from its parents very soon.

These are the coolest birds. They have been on the planet forever. I would guess that Sandhill Cranes are one of the oldest species of bird that live on our planet.

I hope ya'll like my shot of the Sandhill Crane!

This project shows the risks of today’s energy production and usage and questions nuclear power as a viable alternative to fossil fuels. Do we want to exploit the planet until there is nothing left to use or should we be risking thousands of dead people and making large areas of the planet forever uninhabitable? Alternative Energy? investigates different energy concepts and design solutions in the Solarpunk movement.

They have been on the planet forever, and are good for you. I don't like to eat them, but "just look" at the center. See the flower/star shapes in the "middle" of the slices,,they are all different! amazing...and remind me of snowflakes.

It amazes me how interested you are in the world around you, already interacting with it like you've been on the planet forever. You loved putting your hands and toes in the sand and wanted very much to grab everything your sister touched. She pretty much just wanted to pour sand on your head. Somehow this was fun for both of you. Sisters!

If we don't do something now, all the remaining animals are headed the way of the dinosaur.
