The quest for Nikola Tesla’s wireless power technology
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 06. 2024
- Nikola Tesla’s biggest dream was a worldwide network of wireless power transmission. He built a lab and a massive prototype transmission tower...that never worked. But, a century later, engineers are chasing the same dreams of wireless power and making some tantalizing headway. So was Tesla onto something?

I think that's a constant for everybody who thinks that they're an educator a teacher or a leader why is Jesus on a cross why is Daniel in a pit why is Abel dead and NRA Cain free why is Moses alive and all Aaron and cattle slaughtered why is God killing all Lords.

Of course Nikola Tesla was on to something. He was always on to something.

Indeed
@Gk Everything Their motivations for doing so may have been impure but they were right to not support him in this particular venture since it would not have actually worked.
Clearly, considering this looks an awful lot like his idea: vizivtechnologies.com/
@@yoshikhurazi1769 How can you say honestly that it wouldn't have worked? It was never pursued because Edison couldn't put a meter on it.
Tesla's biggest problem was he let the word"free" be uttered.
And you would think after everything else he accomplished. They should’ve given him a freebie.
Tesla's biggest problem was the inverse square law.
@@totalmetaljacket706 no it was not a problem for him.
I think Tesla's "ambitious idea" would work because he already simulate it in his brain and it comes out as how he wanted it to
@@anonamemous6865 Well it does work I did 25 years ago and it is being done now.
The fact that I am watching this video on my mobile phone instantaneously from across the world is amazing and no small feat

A man before his time,a visonary a genius.
(Not saying this to hate) the correct way to say this phrase is "A man ahead of his time"
He was a great engineer, the greatest yet was a terrible physicst
@@amkolar u understand what he said , right? So stop teaching grammar
@@amkolar Eh sort of, you could say his time was in the future with how he was incredibly innovative, brilliant, and inspiring.
Lol imagine being named after a car company.
He never finished HIS invention who's to say he knew of and had solutions for said problems. This video diminished his name, legacy and all the positive contributions he dedicated his life to for the people of the world. He also had countless other patented inventions. Im forever grateful for geniuses like him.
You're exactly right. And it's a total insult to his legacy having a couple midwits commenting on what he knew.
The final chapter of his life is just gut-wrenching... A brilliant human being who created so much of the world we live in today who was boycotted because he was so damn selfless that greed had to trump him out of existence...
Yep, many great discoveries, treatments, inventions & more have been squashed by big business cabals.....some people even killed for it no joke.
he was also quite mad….
Read up on Tesla more please. True, his story is sad & he was wronged in his career but his obsession with prestige, fame & living lavishly played heavily into his undoing.
His pretending to talk to Martians and pigeons didn’t help.
Interviewer. How does it feel to be the smartest man alive?'
Einstein: 'I don't know, you'll have to ask Nikola Tesla.
Oh, how I love Albert Einstein Quotes.
"This story has no primary sources ... There's also the small matter that Einstein and Tesla publicly disliked and insulted each other ... When it came to post-1890s physics, Tesla was something of a crank. He denied the existence of quantum mechanics, relativity, and - strangely for someone famous for his electrical prowess - he denied the existence of electrons!"

Just stop for a moment and imagine the things Tesla would do with today's advancements in technology and material science...
in today's world, he'd be bad-mouthed in the media and banned from social media. lol.
The world is so saturated will great minds working on big teams that he probably wouldn't stand out
@@shatterpointgames yeah but he is still light years ahead of the great minds and can aid them into make his ideas possible
@@obamabinladen5055 I’m guessing your referring to his views, which admittedly there is no guarantee that if he bad been born during more recent years that his views would be the same :/
@@oelx0 fair point. But I think he was beyond normal people who cannot see through the fog of modernity. The genius can see the truth regardless even if they are powerless, that's a prerequisite of being genius.
“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.” ― Nikola Tesla
He wasn't just building towers to spread electricity throughout the world, he was trying to harness the electricity and the energy that earth creates around it, which means infinite energy for the whole world
But we won’t be able to use devices cause they’d get fried from the energy surrounding us. We won’t have computers, phone etc
But it's already around us and that's the point. We ain't fried. The only reason we don't have it is because it nobody can charge you for infinite energy.
whats stopping you, draw up some papers and design some experiments. he died in 1943, not 2000bc, we have his body of research and a much much better understanding of fields.
the math just doesn't work out. if you think it does, all it requires is for you to show your work.
Im so sorry for nikola tesla. The elites in that time who founded him was cruel
They are still cruel
Working for Edison for a time sure taught him how mean & manipulative employers can be.
They are worse today just look at the lies they tell and then cover up.

@@sergiothegrower it would've been heaven on earth.
Everyone has so much potential, that way it could've been a fair market/fight.
A true visionary.
When he was a child he saw a picture of Niagara Falls and wondered if such power could be harnessed somehow.
Eventually he helped George Westinghouse build the very first hydroelectric generator plant at Niagara Falls where it is still operating.
I visited Niagara falls a few weeks ago for the first time. I had chills and tears when I read the inscription on the Tesla statue on the Canadian side.
Tesla was ahead of his Time. When I was in my undergrad doing engineering, we use to have his name/ pic mentioned in almost all of the books. My 3rd year project was based on wireless tech. He is an inspiring figure. Feel sorry for the brilliant mind who at his time were not given the due respect and financial support.
This whole video is wrong I know way more about nikola Tesla's free electricity than these people do
J.P. Morgan really screwed Tesla over and even advised Edison and others to avoid Tesla.
If we would have listened to this man i swear we would have gone wireless before even using wires
Yep, feel bad no one listen to nicola
If they didn’t hide the knowledge of the pyramids you mean? Witchcraft 😂
Well no. His idea of wireless energy couldn't work. It is explained in this video.
@@Hustlate The guy in the video said that the earth is not a good conductor which is true and that the earth is an insulator which is true however there was something not mentioned. Any insulator can become a conductor given the correct oscillations.
@@darrinseelye2091 check the video again...
Then imagine the things we don't know yet and people in future will look back on... And say the same.

That’s always the case in human history.

"He didn't know that he didn't know"
It's so important to quantify what you don't know
Most times it's not possible. The subset of unknowns called "unknown unknowns" are things that you don't even know how to ask the question yet.
Some things are just so far beyond our realm of current knowledge that we have no access to them -- not even in recognizing that we don't know them.
@@dr.zoidberg8666 It’s a Black Swan world man
The tomahawk missile knows where it is, because it knows where it isnt. Ang by calculating where it is to where it isn't, the tomahawk can know where it is
I heard "didn't know what he didn't know".
"He didn't know what he didn't know"
An example of something you know that you dont know is if you don't know what is 2+2=, you know about the problem, you know it is an answer but you don't know the answer.
Not knowing that you don't know would be that don't even know that you can add the numbers and make 2+2.
4:54 Tesla's later technologies explored the use of longitudinal waves through dielectric (aka insulators) and resonance rather than the now traditional transverse waves through conductors. Quite bold of you to assume he didn't know all that.
yeah this is a hit piece and nothing more.
When referring to insulators and conductors he also fails to indulge us the fact that capacitance is stored in the bodies of the insulators not the conductor. So insualtion effect of the air and ground exacerbates the capacitance of the earth, so when we add conductors we create natural capacitors.
Them: Tesla was a genius
Also them: He wasnt smart enough
He also fails to mention that the Tesla Coil makes use of several capacitors.
Capacitors act like temporary batteries; constantly charging and discharging electrical energy. Just like a pulsating heart, and that is also how the Earth magnetic fields behave.
Me watching this and recognizing that building and looking it up and realizing that I live in that town
Neat
He lit up a bank of 200 bulbs from 10 km away I think he understood his invention more than anyone today could
well no.
Evidence? Would love to see this
Exactly, that line when he stated "Tesla didn't understand his invention" threw me off.
Yeah, even today his intelligence would still stand far above most people's comprehension. It's funny to hear people say he didn't understand his inventions.

Learn from your heroes
"Earth and Sky are good insulators" - For earth, it depends on the frequency. The sky is charged in electricity, see the ionosphere.
And the tower was designed to utilize the ionosphere to deliver the power, which was conveniently ignored in this video.
@@FhangMedia yes this video did avoid the true facts
@@FhangMedia Yes, space researchers keep high hope to harvest energy from the ionosphere

@@auntjenifer7774 stfu jenefer
I'm sorry you're feeling offended but that may be just what you need to inspire you to be better and educate yourself and become so auto didactic because clearly the public school system has failed you on that front !?
I typed up a much more positive and inspiring comment first but your tube erased it.
Nikola tesla understood electricity in a very different way than anyone else. His theory on how electricity functions are completely different from how we think it works now. But just look at everything he created form the electric motor to the ac power plants. he made the modern world possible. I think he had the understanding than anyone
Kinda confused they didn’t bring up Ancient Egypt as it was a huge drive to his work. Also that the sky and earth actually push and pull tons of energy depending on frequency and ions.
ancient Egypt had zero, zilch, nulla input on any of Tesla‘s inventions whatsoever, I challenge you to produce a shred of evidence to support your assertion….
"He didn't know what He didn't know" i live on that kind of phrase.
Summary of vid: it’s hard and damn near impossible and we haven’t found a technique yet.
Of it was true they wouldn’t let that happen free electricity they want that money so the never even try it
I watched a few seconds of this video just to come to the same conclusion. I spent more time reading the comments and more time writing this comment then I did on the vid.
@@bennybradshaw9904 yeah, you aren't getting free electricity even if it were possible.
Electricity needs to be generated first and then use to power the tower.
Who is going to pay for the instalation and operation of those generators? The users, you would getting charged a monthly tariff just like you pay your internet or even better, a permanent income tax to cover your electrical expenses.
@@carlosdgutierrez6570 I think he was talking about electrons. They don't want to cooperate.
Earth transmission is simple and is already done. Volts per second, tesla wave. Energy creation is another thing. Possible but only if you accept first thermodynamics law is fraudulent first. Destruction of the mental barrier is important.
When I was at high-school, our electro engeneering teacher mentioned wireless electricity. But he said that if it worked, it would fry any living being that would ever get in the way of the wireless transmitors. Imagine the super high voltage the power plants generate. All that power that is transmitted through those massive wires would instead be transmitted by the air. Would you want to stand in it?
A comment about this topic that makes sense. Thank you
Even worse is the electric and magnetic field around the wires

I remember being on a discord call with some friends and talking about billion dollar ideas or inventions. I recall talking how wireless charging for phones(EX: If you enter this area, you phone will automatically charge) because I saw a video about wireless LED lights. My friends laughed and said it was impossible.
Well its not impossible but its very unlikely and expensive (and maybe dangerous), so it wil probably take a few decades before we find a loophole to make it practical.
@@poendie835 Yeah most definitely. Maybe a time limiter so it'll only charge for a certain amount of time or have an app that knows what battery percentage you're at and will automatically turn off and notifies you when done.
Discord came out in 2015, by then wireless chargers were already out and chargers that charge your device when you enter a room were in the concept phase, you didn't invent anything lol
2:00 That's a small neon lamp, NOT an LED. An LED will not light using an electrical field, as it is polarity sensitive, unlike the neon lamp.
Neon glows red. That's not a neon lamp.
@@seasong7655 I think he is referring to the generalised term 'Neon Lamps' rather than the bulb containing actual Neon gas. Green would actually be Krypton gas. He is right though an LED would not light up next to a strong magnetic field as it would not be excited unlike an gas lamp.
@@seasong7655 neon lamps coated with green phosphor glows green that's exactly a neon lamp! Also, tube lights are white because they're also coated with white phosphor, otherwise tubes and cfls would glow in ultraviolet... It's that white fluorescent coating which makes them glow white! For more, search CFLs or discharge tubes in Wikipedia.
@@AnarchistAaron I think it would be the metal conductors sticking out of it that is helping generate the electricity for the small light. Could be wrong.
Yes that is true as well as @AnarchistAarons referral to the wide use of the term "Neon Lamp" but still the physics allow the LED to light up in the mag. field of a tesla coil. A diode is polarity sensitive thats correct but as mentioned in the video the magnetic field changes (i assume with a Frequency in atleast the range weve got in our AC power grids (75 Hz in Germany). This change in magnetic field then induces an also AC current in the metal connectors of the diode (if those were to be shorted). But the diode will only allow for a closed circuit one way thus you could measure a DC current thats pulsating in strength because it's constantly collpasing due to the polarity change. I assume the pulsating is just too fast to see with the eye/camera here.
(Maybe I'm wrong tho idk - im only a mechanical engineer not an electro engineer)

This needs to be bought and turned into a national historical site. It’s incredible it’s not already or owned by someone who plans to make a museum.
Dr Raymond Paul Phillips, he was a student of Nikola Tesla. Dr.Phillips patented and invented the first phone to make wireless calls 3 miles from it's base. My grandfather studied his mentor Nikola Tesla and completed the invention.

@J. Blabla because your argumentation was great???
another misconception and error. when vice told to you about the physics limitations about tesla ideas.
Yeah ignore the idiots here. PhD consensus nut jobs never contribute anything to this world, they actually send us backwards. People like Kary Mullis and Oleg Jefimenko defy the consensus and look at what they’ve done for us. Tesla’s tower was shut down because his biggest investor died on the titanic. Soul reason why his tower was discontinued. These PhD morons think he was working with flawed physics but their screws are a bit loose. The irony of this video is Tesla knew the Earth was an insulator. Today Tesla would be calling our insulators ‘capacitors’.

@@benjamin7114 Name what existed before Elon Musk?
I like Elon but yeah he's a great innovator but not inventor.
A lot of his fans get innovation mixed up with inventions.
Also don't forget Elon's a business man
What makes Tesla really really really special is his vision through some simple physic phenomenons.
Definitely a man way ahead of his time..can you imagine what that brilliant mind, that came up with some of the most original ideas in science, could do if he was in our present time and level of technology? Makes me think and smile!😃
You guys messed up your explanation. The changing magnetic field is produced by the changing electric field passed through the primary coil (the thick, little one on the bottom). This changing magnetic field induces a changing electric field in the secondary coil (the thin, tall tower). Because the secondary coil is open at the top (the spike), it sprays out charge and ionizes the air, meaning the air acts more like a conductor. When you held up that fluorescent tube, you grounded it, allowing charge to flow from the coil, through the now conductive air, through the tube, through you, and then through the ground (and also the reverse is true).
That’s not an “LED,” it’s a neon bulb with green phosphor.
Fr
Good observation
Was looking for this. Glad im not the only one who noticed it
we can make the air a conductor through ionizing lasers/radiation though... so technically it is possible to transfer electricity by shooting an ionizing laser(perhaps in the X-ray range) followed by a quick burst of electricity that basically follows it through the ionized path in the air. also if we take some lessons from particle colliders we can send a pulse that precedes the main pulse, kind of creating a wiplash effect in the plasma which accelerates the speed of transfer
"Almost fifty centimeters high." Tesla thought big, alright.
“57 meters”
He was a visionary. The failure of the tower is only a failure if you think so which is an insult to the experimental effort by such a great mind. It was indeed an attempt he made to make the world a wireless place. Thank you Tesla. You're an inspiration.
9:10 Honestly I'm just glad you only mentioned Tesla, and Not that fraud company Nikola.

Could be.

In my humble opinion, we would be so much more advanced as an electricity driven society, than we are now. Since Nikola Tesla's passing, we have developed by leaps and bounds, thanks to him and his inventions. I'm still wondering how many inventions Thomas Edison, on his own, not something someone else came up with, that he took credit for, that we still use today.
Well he was right about the telecommunications system, the AC Current Over Edison’s DC current, hydro electricity . That man was a damn genius
He did pass on free energy, his knowledge, we use it freely.
Sadly life had put him in the wrong time
Tesla never passed on free energy. He didn't spent time on it. He focused on harnessing earth's electricity by forming a cycle from atmospher to ground and back up. Since atmospheric electricity is from the sun, the re-bounce from atmosphere to the ground would have been amplified.
not quite
almost but no quite
@I love you but You think he did it electromagnetic way? He did it longitudinal way which is NON-HERTZIAN and FASTER THAN LIGHT. When mainstream science is a massive fraud.
Wow, this video answers questions I had for years! Thank you for doing it!
Yes mine too 🥺
Cory makes really fascinating videos. He’s a great narrator, too.
People are so quick to poke holes in teslas vision, and talk about how he died alone blablabla while simultaneously enjoying the modern quality of life that his work has given to us. His lifetimes work represents a 1000+ years of human innovation. He had visions of the future
If this is true then how did he (insert conspiracy theory here)? You can't explain that!
😂
Exactly! This is what the MeDiA eLiTeS don't want you to know!
Kekek. Fools won't ever question what they learnt.
Hey all, as some have helpfully pointed out, the light at 2:05 is a small neon lamp, not an LED. Also, around 2:30, we meant to say that as you move away from the Tesla coil, the “power” drops off, not the “field.” Thanks for the notes!
Can you tell me where to get that Tesla coil? Cool factor is off the charts!
The earth is a great conductor. To test this idea, simply take one L1 wire outside with you say 100 feet, and then for the Ground wire, stick a nail in the ground. You will be able to draw the full current of the wires using earth as the neutral wire. I knew this in 4th grade.
Get this out there soonest....great work guys!
That man was always onto something
I've been saying for a while, that eventually we will charge our phones and devices in the same way that wifi is used. All you'll have to do is be in range and your device will be charging. Almost like a perpetual battery or source of energy. Now, while I'm 100% confident this will eventually happen, I lack the dedication and knowledge to figure out how to do it myself. So until someone else figures it out, I will plug my phone in.

Oh, his "Urn" (the usual English spelling), where his ashes are stored. I first read that as "Urine" and thought "wow, that's weird. Maybe there are still some cells in it and we could clone him." My grandfather is from a village near the border of Serbia.
Imagine what Nikola Tesla could do with modern day technology
considering we are still using his technology today... he's blow our minds, likely
@@SoupLegion underrated comment
He would already have been the first to create energy out of nothing lol
@@elianirenge7198 It's already been done a long time ago. There are many techniques but the one true technique is to reverse lenz's law. The answer is hidden in plain sights.
"What happens when both windings of a transformer are overexcited?"
Engineers are none other than being puppets for the evil.
@@lukiepoole9254 send a link to a an article or a video that talks about that
Just Imagine what our world would transform into , if all of our hero scientists were given just 1 more year to live among us today , May their souls Rest in Peace ❤️
pretty much the same.
the tesla coil is just like in the movie iron man when tony's dad left behind the arc reactor and knew its potential but was being held back by the technology of his time and was just waiting for his son to figure it out since he didn't have the technology to unleash its full potential, I think there's a lot more to the tesla coil than just a cool science gadget
With this rate of tech the wireless anti-static bracelets you have might actually become real
Thanks for the video Verge.
These guys who wouldn’t be able to begin to understand what Tesla understood are trying to say Tesla was wrong and didn’t know the science lol.. the world still hasn’t caught up with Tesla
A company in New Zealand is already working on it, its called EMROD. They have a working prototype and are hoping to go commercial. Directional microwave technology. In 1975, Nasa, used microwaves to send 34kW of electricity a distance of 1.6km - a record that still stands. It has never, though, been developed for commercial use.
The only time the Wharncliff tower actually worked was when Tesla had to blow up a alien ship hovering over New York
yes makes sense
Yeah, was there when it happened, good times.
Oh yeah, I was dodging debris left and ri........wait,.. hold on someone at my front door,....few guys in black suits and shades,.. pencil thin perv staches and buzzcuts........................................................Aw snap Guys, turns out were not supposed to be talking about this...🤭..
👊😵..🤛💩👖..🤛🤮.🥴.🤕..🤐
“It represents my life's work. This is the key to the future. I'm limited by the technology of my time, but one day you'll figure this out. And when you do, you will change the world.”

that "led" looks more like a neon glow lamp to me
Well, we already know that Tesla's idea was sound. In 1859 a solar flare hit earth and shut down telegraph hubs. A few telegraph operators were able to keep sending telegraphs for hours with the residual energy in the atmosphere from the solar flare. (So far as I know)
Why does the Verge Science still only have 1 Million subs?
Nikola Tesla's pursuit of advancing electrical power was met with setbacks, including the devastating loss of his laboratory in 1895. As a result, Tesla felt compelled to protect his knowledge by encrypting it, leaving his groundbreaking discoveries shrouded in mystery. However, among his many works, Tesla regarded his article "The Problem of Increasing Human Energy" as the most significant one he had ever written. As a dedicated Tesla researcher for the past two decades, I believed I had extracted the utmost value from this crucial article. However, after encountering Ernst Willem van den Bergh's work, I must acknowledge that he has unearthed a wealth of information that surpasses my previous understanding. Van den Bergh has seemingly deciphered the elusive "Tesla-Code," offering profound insights into Tesla's work and his extraordinary mind.
Tesla knew full well how his tech worked..
