Can anyone explain this statement related to tesla's work.?

[aditya23456]

"Tesla sent electrostatic forces through natural media across a conductor situated in the changing magnetic flux and transferred electrical energy to a wireless receiver"

Can anyone elaborate this..?Is this employed now..? if no, why..?

I believe that expression comes from the wikipedia article and other web sites about him. I can't find similar on the web before 2001 or using google books. He's become some kind of god in certain parts of the web and it's hard to tell fact from fiction.

If you want to know who invented radio there are several contenders and lots of heated debate.

That's because Tesla's invention of the web before 2001 was suppressed by the authorities, along with so much else that he did

Sounds like utter gobbledegook to me.

Probably stems from his having successfully shown that you CAN transfer power to a wireless receiver, it's just grossly inefficient. I have read that he once proposed a grid of his wireless stations throughout the country but that detailed analysis showed that stations had to be no more than about a mile apart and building a grid of 1 mile by 1 mile stations throughout the country, plus the transmitting stations, would have cost approximately the gross national product of the entire planet to buy the land and build everything.

Sure, I can explain this statement related to Tesla's work. Tesla was a renowned scientist and inventor who made significant contributions in the field of electricity and electromagnetism. One of his most notable achievements was his experiments with wireless energy transfer.

In simple terms, Tesla discovered that by using electrostatic forces and a changing magnetic flux, he could transfer electrical energy wirelessly. This means that he was able to send electricity through natural media, such as air or water, without the need for physical wires.

To achieve this, Tesla used a transmitter that emitted high-frequency electromagnetic waves, which were then picked up by a receiver situated in the vicinity. The receiver would then convert these waves back into electrical energy, which could be used to power various devices.

This method of wireless energy transfer was revolutionary at the time and paved the way for modern wireless technologies, such as radio, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. However, it is not commonly employed today for large-scale energy transmission.

The reason for this is that wireless energy transfer is not as efficient as wired transmission. A significant amount of energy is lost during the transfer process, making it impractical for long-distance transmission. Additionally, the infrastructure required for wireless energy transmission is complex and expensive, making it more feasible to use wired transmission for electricity distribution.

However, Tesla's work in wireless energy transfer continues to inspire and influence modern technology, and researchers are still exploring ways to improve its efficiency and practicality.
