AI Thread Summary
Tesla's quote refers to his advancements in wireless transmission, likely linked to his invention of the Tesla Coil, which was capable of transmitting significant power. The discussion highlights the concept of electromagnetic waves, which consist of electric and magnetic components, as fundamental to radio wave technology. Tesla envisioned a global power distribution system that could deliver energy to anyone by tuning into it. Many of his patents remain classified under US national security, with some later recognized as rightfully belonging to him after his death. The conversation also touches on the evolving understanding of electromagnetic theory during Tesla's time, suggesting that terminology may have shifted as the science progressed.

"In 1900, however, after I had evolved a wireless transmitter which enabled me to obtain electro-magnetic activities of many millions of horse-power"

I don't understand how he's getting electro magnetism from wireless trasmission I guess?? I don't know I don't understand what he's talking about there.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
A radio wave has electric and magnetic components so we call it an electromagnetic wave.

What Testa is describing in the quote is probably an invention of his famous "Tesla Coil" he built in Denver Colorado, that transmitted a lot of power at the time.
 
It ws teslas dream to produce power and transmit it via the ionsphere...
He said that wherever you were on the planet, you could get your power by tuning into it...
Most of his patent applications are still under US national security audit and haven't been released.
Seven years after his death, a court decided that the seven most important patents granted to marconi under the wireless section belonged to tesla.
 
check out the varian brothers. klystron tube shop at stanford. ilc in germany. hutchinson effect.(( and the philli experiment ( someones imagination of what tesla was talking about) ))
hope i do not get suspended for this.
 
As I understand Tesla's Tesla coil transmitter, a great deal of the power passed via ground transmission rather than electromagnetic waves. That he should call it electromagnetic activity is a matter of evolving symmantics. Electromagnetic theory was an evolving science at the time, still soft in spots.
 

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
