There are numerous statements of Nikola Tesla that he, in his work did not use
Hertzian (Maxwell's) waves, but waves of quite another kind. Let me remind you to
some of them:
“… I was very lucky to discover new and amazing phenomena, such as rotating
magnetic field, glowing of wireless vacuum tubes and many other high frequency
effects, which amazed the world. (…) BUT WHAT IMPRESSED ME AS MORE
BEAUTIFUL THAN ANYTHING ELSE WAS THE DISCOVERY OF STATIONARY
WAVES, to which I came in 1899, and which showed that that the whole planet on
which we live, despite its incomprehensible size, could be made to response with
vibration to the lowest whisper of human voice. …”.
"... It is too noted that the phenomenon here involved in the transmission of
electrical energy is one of TRUE CONDUCTION AND IS NOT TO BE CONFOUNDED
WITH THE PHENOMENA OF ELECTRICAL RADIATION WHICH have heretofore been
observed and which from the very nature and mode of propagation WOULD RENDER
PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE THE TRANSMISSION OF ANY APPRECIABLE
AMOUNT OF ENERGY TO SUCH DISTANCES AS ARE OF PRACTICAL
IMPORTANCE. ..."

to Wireless Telegraphy, Telephony and Transmission of Power”, an extended
interview, Leland Anderson, editor.; Published 2002 by Twenty-First Century

". . . the apparatus which I devised was an apparatus enabling one to produce
tremendous differences of potential and currents in an antenna circuit. These
requirements must be fulfilled, whether you transmit by currents of conduction, or
whether you transmit by electromagnetic waves. You want high potential currents, you
want a great amount of vibratory energy; but you can graduate this vibratory energy. By
proper design and choice of wave lengths, YOU CAN ARRANGE IT SO THAT YOU
GET, FOR INSTANCE, 5 PERCENT IN THESE ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES AND
95 PERCENT IN THE CURRENT THAT GOES THROUGH THE EARTH. THAT IS
WHAT I AM DOING. Or, you can get, as these radio men, 95 percent in the energy of
electromagnetic waves and only 5 percent in the energy of the current. The apparatus
is suitable for one or the other method. I AM NOT PRODUCING RADIATION IN MY
SYSTEM; I AM SUPPRESSING ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES. But, on the other
hand, my apparatus can be used effectively with electromagnetic waves. The
apparatus has nothing to do with this new method except that it is the only means to
practice it. So that IN MY SYSTEM, YOU SHOULD FREE YOURSELF OF THE IDEA
THAT THERE IS RADIATION, THAT ENERGY IS RADIATED. IT IS NOT RADIATED;
IT IS CONSERVED."
There is some evidence that Wardenclyffe might have used extremely low
frequency signals combined with a higher frequency signals. In practice, the transmitter
electrically influences both the earth and the space above it. He made a point of
describing the process as being essentially the same as passing electricity through a
wire by conduction. TESLA BELIEVED THAT ENERGY COULD BE EFFICIENTLY
TRANSMITTED FROM THE FACILITY VIA LONGITUDINAL "NON-HERTZIAN"
WAVES. Tesla called his wireless technique the "disturbed charge of ground and air
method". In various writings, Tesla explained that the Earth itself would behave as a
resonant LC circuit that could be electrically excited at predescribed frequencies.
However, Earth resonance would be of a very low frequency (about 7 Hz) which would
utilize Schumann resonance. Alternatively, a surface or ground wave, similar to the
Zenneck wave could have been utilized. Others believe that earth currents were to be
utilized. According to Tesla, the planet's large cross-sectional area provides a low
resistance path for the flow of earth currents. The greatest losses are apt to occur at the
points where the transmitting and receiving stations are connected with the ground. This
is why Tesla stated:
"You see the underground work is one of the most expensive parts of the tower.
In this system that I have invented it is necessary for the machine to get a grip of
the earth, otherwise it cannot shake the earth. It has to have a grip on the earth
so that the whole of this globe can quiver, and to do that it is necessary to carry
out a very expensive construction." [p. 203]
------------- etc.
It's really hard to believe that the man who invented alternating current, and the
first man of this civilization which has experimented with high-frequency currents was
mistaken ...
Or maybe he lied?
However, by my opinion, it is more likely that we are not clearly comprehend his
magnificent work.
My latest experiments with PIP camera and a Tesla transformer speak in favor of
Tesla's statements. In first experimental setup I used a classical coil – ordinary coil as it
exists in numerous copies throughout the world. In the second experiment was used a
special coil, constructed according to principles that Tesla applied for his famous Extra
coil in Colorado Springs. Author of PIP images and added comments is Prof. Dr. Ljuba
Ristovski from The Institute for Bio-Energetic Research.
Although we used the same MOSFET driver, PIP Snapshot showed that the
classical coil does not change the ambient field but coil wound on a special Tesla's
principles (according to which Tesla constructed his famous extra coil in Colorado
Springs
) definitely create a standing wave, possibly scalar in nature, and is columnate a
flare of energy - green in colour - which is often associated with healing radiation (when
it comes to bio-energy fields) in connection with balance and well-being ...
This could be a big motivation for many, smart and endlessly curious people to a
new re-research of Tesla's intellectual legacy.
