Tesla's True Wireless and HAARP
Everything You Know is
Wrong
by Michael Theroux
We recently received a new booklet edited by George Trinkaus
entitled, Tesla The True Wireless which is a
reprint of Nikola Tesla's June, 1919 article in the Electrical
Experimenter. The article is an extension of Tesla's
previous work of that year entitled "Famous Scientific
Illusions" (reprinted in Borderlands,
Vol. 44, No. 1, January-February 1988) in which Tesla outlines
the differences between his wireless technology and that of
academic convention. We would in most cases have simply listed
this booklet with the rest of the reviews but we felt it
necessary to highlight the work for several reasons. "The
True Wireless" is one of the most important of Tesla's
articles in that he explains in great detail HIS system of
wireless. Also, this document, in his own words, smashes
currently held beliefs about so-called "Tesla
Technology".
Written some years after his Wardencliff Project, Tesla
explains the inefficiency and limitations of the Hertzian method
of electromagnetic propagation (through the air) with great
clarity and that his system of wireless which was vastly
more effective, utilised the ground itself for propagation. Tesla
states, "Properly constructed, my system [of wireless] is
safe against static and other interference, and the amount of
energy which may be transmitted is billions of times greater than
with the Hertzian which has none of these virtues..." He
explains in particular, with several analogs in diagrammatic
representation, his single-wire-without-return system the
heart of Tesla's radio and wireless power systems.
While this article is probably the most compendious of all of
Tesla's attempts to publicly describe his wireless system, it
also contains statements which radically challenge the orthodoxy
of radio a system of radio that has gone unchallenged as
such to the present day. These particular statements made by
Tesla virtually destroy many currently held beliefs that
certain new technologies (usually purported to be sinister in
nature) were developed from Tesla technology itself. Let us quote
one of the more significant statements made by Tesla in this
article:
"In Fig. 13 a transmitter is shown radiating space waves
of considerable frequency. It is generally believed that these
waves pass along the earth's surface and thus affect the
receivers. I can hardly think of anything more improbable than
this "gliding wave" theory and the conception of the
"guided wireless" which are contrary to all laws of
action and reaction. Why should these disturbances cling to a
conductor where they are counteracted by induced currents, when
they can propagate in all other directions unimpeded?
The fact is that the radiations of the transmitter passing
along the earth's surface are soon extinguished, the height of
the inactive zone indicated in the diagram, being some function
of the wavelength, the bulk of the waves traversing freely in the
atmosphere. Terrestrial phenomena which I have noted conclusively
show that there is no Heaviside layer, or, if it exists, it is of
no effect."
He then goes on to demonstrate the electrical inefficiency of
the antenna through simple formulæ, and details several
experiments between Hertzian oscillators and his grounded
transmitting circuit. The key here with respect to the current
belief that many new technologies are Tesla derived, is that he
says, "...there is no Heaviside layer, or, if it exists, it
is of no effect." We know the Heaviside layer, later called
the ionosphere, is the radio-reflective layer assumed to exist
within the upper atmosphere, and is presumed responsible for
radio propagation over great distances, i.e. "skip".
Enter HAARP. The assumed notion that the project known as
HAARP (High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Project) is
descended from Tesla's work, is something of an absurdity with
reference to Tesla's previous affirmation. Since the HAARP
Project's exclusive purpose relies on the existence and function
of the ionosphere, and has nothing to do with the grounded
circuits of Tesla it is clearly NOT Tesla technology. This
really should have been quite obvious to any researcher or author
if they had simply read any of Tesla's work concerning his
wireless even without the bold statements of this 1919
article, but, alas, due the popularity of Tesla, and the recently
published books and videos about HAARP, this bogus association
between Tesla and HAARP has become "matter of fact" to
the misled and uninformed.
Why would these authors writing about the HAARP Project make
such gross mistakes mistakes which destroy the credibility
of any other statements they have made concerning the technology?
One might suggest that because these people are journalists and
movie makers, and not radio technicians or electrical engineers,
that we are supposed to forgive their glaring errors. But a good
journalist is expected to present the truth as clearly and as
disinterested as is possible. And, a good (ethical) journalist
would not overlook the facts, in favor of a sensational
presentation. Most of the associations today concerning Tesla and
sinister military technologies come from later statements made by
Tesla long after his direct involvement in experiment with
wireless. Speculations and predictions by Tesla such as
microwaves, TV, beam ray technologies (the Tesla Death Ray),
cosmic-ray motors, interplanetary communications, and
wave-interference devices (the "Tesla Howitzer" and the
"Tesla Shield") have been given authority over the
actual physical experiments by Tesla. Most of these conjectures
were revealed by Tesla in his aging years at "birthday press
conferences" as he was shut out by the daily media sometime
after 1920. But, these are the statements that so capture the
attentions of readers and viewers, and are the ones which the
so-called "underground media" gleefully disseminate.
Gloom and Doom is the status quo here, and while the truth may be
stranger than fiction, it is apparently quite boring.
Many thanks to George Trinkaus for bringing Tesla's article
back in print. I might add that the introduction by Mr. Trinkaus
is quite good with references and diagrams of his own experiments
which prove the Teslian wireless system. I don't know if Mr.
Trinkaus was aware that the aforementioned statements by Tesla
would with no uncertainty disassemble many fabrications about
Tesla technology, but then again he did preface the title of the
new booklet with the astute phrase, "Everything You Know is
Wrong".
