    Default Russian Physicists Launch Campaign to Rebuild Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower

    Great idea, interesting to see how this turns out. I'll likely contribute something

    http://inhabitat.com/russian-physici...d/tesla_tower/


    “Tesla was right and we are ready to prove it!” So say the two Russian physicists who have just launched an Indiegogo campaign to rebuild Nikola Tesla’s Wardenclyffe Tower in Fall, 2014. Tesla believed that the tower could transmit power wirelessly but this was never definitively proven in his lifetime.

    If he was right, and after extensive study the team are convinced he was, the project could provide an efficient, worldwide energy transmission system that would distribute all the clean energy we can use.

    That Tesla was a genius is undisputed even by his detractors, but more than 70 years after his death, he remains a polarizing figure.

    Leonid Plekhanov and Sergey Plekhanov have spent the last five years studying and modeling Tesla’s notes and patents for the tower and they are certain the project is viable with the use of modern materials and technology.

    As their Indiegogo page notes: “Nikola Tesla had left us a very detailed description of the design of his Magnifying Transmitter System and the physical principles of its operation. We are a group of modern-day physicists, trained in many areas related to the operation of his Worldwide Energy System. We’ve conducted a thorough scientific expertise of his works and came to the conclusion that Tesla was on the right track.”

    The principle behind the current design is that we already have an unlimited source for all the energy we could need – the sun. A 100,000 square kilometer solar array in a nice, sunny desert somewhere could provide for all our global power needs. The problem lies in distributing that power, as current systems leak so much energy.

    Tesla’s proposed network of towers were designed to make use of the Earth’s own inherent conductivity, transmitting energy through the ground and the ionosphere with very little wastage. A detailed description of how a tower works can be found here.

    While Tesla’s original tower on Long Island weighed in at 60 tons, the prototype the Plekhanovs plan to build will only weigh two tons due to advances in materials. Its Tesla coil will be about 20 meters long.

    The team are hoping to raise $800,000 to build their prototype via the Indiegogo campaign, which finishes up on July 25, 2014. They successfully raised $40,000 via crowdfunding last year for research and design work on the power source. A project timeline and budget are provided, and in the spirit of Tesla’s magnanimity, they pledge to make their results freely available online once the tower has been put into operation.

    That looks promising!
    Simon Parkes has been saying that the ETs who the Russians have allied with are pro-human, so it makes sense the Russians would be working on this.

    Edgar Casey had predicted that one day Russia would be a light unto the world. In proportion to the way the leaders in the U.S. have behaved...
    Wait and see I guess, but this is a promising development.

    Also from Russia Today website: Russian scientists raising funds to rebuild Tesla Tower, satisfy world energy hunger.


    Interesting project. Two things to consider though:

    1) It is claimed that Tesla not only could transmit power without loss over great distances wirelessly, but that he also collected it from the atmosphere for free, not from another electrical source - in this case 100,000 sq km solar array.

    (I doubt either of these Tesla stories are true - although he was undoubtedly a scientific genius - since in the past 100 years, as far as I know neither claim has been replicated by anyone, anywhere. I know, look for the evidence on Youtube, and anyone succeeding got threats, conspiracies, etc... )

    2) Those who think that a watt or two from cell phones and wi-fi will fry your brains (OK, perhaps a very few people are sensitive to this), should give very careful consideration to how tens of megawatts (or even more) is beamed about the planet from a Tesla Tower near you. If you think people don't like a 100 watt cell tower in their community, getting permission for Tesla Towers will be interesting!

    But let's be optimistic, and hope I'm wrong on all counts shall we...?
