Complete video at: fora.tv John Behrens and Sparky Jewell, members of Omega Recoil, explain the Tesla coil’s origins and Nikola Tesla’s efforts to transmit energy wirelessly. They also describe their own attempts to recreate Tesla’s experiments and make wireless energy a reality. —– In the late 1800s, Nikola Tesla began experimenting with transmitting power wirelessly via the earth’s crust and the ionosphere. He invented what we now know as the Tesla Coil; this device was capable of generating extremely high voltages, and was the precursor to radio transmission. What was Tesla doing? How was he doing it? Does wireless power work? The Omega Recoil team have been re-creating some of Tesla’s wireless power experiments, with interesting results. Following on President Obama’s call to “begin again the work of remaking America,” Maker Faire 2009 was organized around the theme of Re-Make America. Held in the San Francisco Bay Area, Maker Faire celebrates what President Obama called “the risk takers, the doers, and the makers of things.” – Maker Faire 2009 John Behrens is currently a cinematographer who photographs independent features, television, documentaries and live music. He is the owner and operator of Point Beach Productions, a production and effects company for the motion picture and television industry. Behrens has also served as a high voltage consultant for Discovery Channel’s MythBusters. Sparky Jewell is a member of Omega Recoil, a team of scientists, builders …

Happy Birthday Tesla.
We still remember you…
These guys didn’t mention that Tesla wanted to transmit the power and signals for free to the whole world. But since Morgan wanted to profit from it by metering it, he stopped funding Tesla. That’s the real reason. Why don’t you guys tell the truth, you lying snakes? That tells me that a new technology has possibly been devised to meter wireless electricity.
@DieselDownunder apology accepted. You’re right… Tesla’s the man. He hid a lot of his own thinking from us for a reason. Everything we touch so far, we weaponize. When we grow out of this self-righteous, religiously dogmatic phase we can perhaps handle the energies that are in the universe.
My kid did a big report for school and chose Tesla as his subject years ago. That’s how I remember reading about the neighbor’s cow’s hooves. They grew misshapen and became soft. Creepy.. and dangerous.
@DieselDownunder Great! I am looking forward to it:)))
@MrWinestyle Thank you its humbling to be idealised – i will send you my fan page details ;~]
@bosatsu76 im sorry if i offended you – i was just jesting….the cow scenario is intriguing…do you have any further info on this as im an electrical engineer an am fascinated as to why the cows would have been utilised as a current path – either way i am in awe of Tesla and have been for many years- just imagine if he was supported instead of suppressed due to fat rich pricks wanting more wealth – they make me sick!!!
You are so good!!!
@DieselDownunder I appreciate the information and explanation. Thank you. However, I do not appreciate your smarmy assumption that I am stupid and somehow not as worthy as you.
You have talents and expertise that I can rely on. I also have talents and expertise that you would be well to recognize and utilize yourself.
As for hooves being insulators… any insulator can be overcome or bypassed. Water on the hooves could easily become a path for a steady trickle of electrons.
@bosatsu76 Not inefficient – not transmittable over long distances due to not being to transform DC to super high voltages you encounter problems with volt-drop and requirement of huge transmission conductors as for the hoofs rotting out due to electricity coursing through them that made me lol considering hoof material is an insulator….. you’re probably one of the people who think that CERN will create a black-hole that will engulf the planet…correct?

@teverde Newton was proved wrong, he hypothesized (or at least his theory of gravity included) that gravity transmitted instantaneously. Einstein showed that this could not be the case and revolutionized the Newtonian view of gravity with General Relativity.
@codygillespie FINALLY someone pointed out the obvious! Thanks for posting this comment.

EARTHQUAKE #333 IS NOT AS SEISMOLOGY SHOULD GO
(1) PRELUDE (2) GREAT SHOCK (3) AFTERSHOCKS
THIS EVENT ON SEPTEMBER 3, 1899 HAD MANY GREAT SHOCKS.
September 3,
September 10,
September 10,
September 15,
September 17,
September 23,
September 26,
THIS ONE HIDDEN? AS 3
Is EARTHQUAKE #333
THE BIGGEST OF ALL TIME…
NOW YOU SEE.
TESLA WAS NOT O.C.D.
WAVES IN THE BAY IN GROUPS OF 3
QUAKE#333

@google @microsoft @apple
THEY FUCKED UP… IF THE CAN HIDE THIS…
The first man-made earthquake was #333 on September 3, 1899.
Shide No. 337 is one of the early shocks on September 10 and No.
Earthquake 338 the heaviest shock of September 10. Oldham says:
The times of origin of these shocks can be determined with an error of not more than 1 minute of time by the use
of the curves reproduced in my previous paper.’
You cant make cash from wireless energy … hmmm … sounds like a LOAD OF SHIT WHAT THE HELL STUPID GOVERMENT
Tesla proved the renewable, no-cost service, but JP Morgan and his cohorts destroyed and buried it because they would not make money from the public, and that is absolutely true. For Sakoth, what others have made in their backyards is not what Tesla invented. In addition, the CIA confiscated Tesla’s work upon his death and have shelved and classified it to prevent the public from having that which is for all.
@Saktoth Yes, his plan never finished.That thing that people build in their backyards that was as much a toy to him as it anyone. This is the man who built the death ray. He loved what he did, a man ahead of his generation, a man who did not want monetary gains. He died penny-less, he should have been the first billionaire from his contract with the power companies. He ripped up that contract. His towers were powerful,but I imagine two or three would have been made around the world.
You think there are problems with cell phones causing brain cancer. Just load a trillion watts of electricity wandering around the planet looking for some work to do. When Tesla did his experiments, the cows in the pasture next to his place had their hooves rot out from under them because of all the electricity coursing through them into the ground. Tesla’s big contribution, however, was the use of A.C.. Edison was going D.C. but it was inefficient compared to A.C.
Sorry to be pedantic, but Wardenclyffe is in Long Island, NY, not New Jersey. Sadly, the site of the tower is now an empty lot, and little remains of his majestic creation…
Take off that fucking hat.
Allegedly Tesla perfected wireless electricity. The utility giants didn’t like it because they “couldn’t slap a meter on it.”
That the thing, metered electricity is a creation to get more money. The could do flat rate (Like phones did, do, etc.) but they choose to nickle and dime us.
@insightllc Something obviously went wrong in September 2009. Did they cause Sumatra? Did Zelda fan Susie Sahim take the fall because George Hwang was instructed by Larry Page and Sergey Brin to include the symbolic Triforce symbols? Ask The Three Musketeers of Tesla Motors. Oh wait… they died in Palo Alto and their bodies were burned beyond recognition while the city was in chaos soon after that.
HEY SPARKY… Google power meter was invented to regulate the consumption of power potentially provided to the public for sale by Google Energy, LLC using 111 year old Tesla technology. This venture between Elon Musk and Google was commemorated by the Triforce Easter egg symbols in 2009. Many of these triangle symbols were incorporated into the Google Doodles that lead up to the 09/09/09 9:09:09 Google Doodle and were subsequently removed from record in The Great Google Doodle Conspiracy.
