I’ll say a banal thing: a scrupulous and conscientious search is not an easy task. Especially the search for facts that confirm very fantastic hypotheses. But if you treat your business responsibly, then sometimes you can extract from the depths past years There is the most real evidence that fantasy can still be reality.
For example, not long ago a publication was discovered in the journal “Science and Life” from 1988, which accurately described the beginning of the twenty-first century. As they say, one hundred percent hit. However, this is just one episode of interference from people from the future in the course of progress. Other significant evidence is needed to dispel doubts: the development of civilization is periodically pushed in the right direction, and Nikola Tesla is a participant in one of these projects to shape the future.
I will do without long lyrical digressions and other philosophizing. Proof found: Century magazine, 1900, in which Tesla's article was published. I have to tell you, absolutely amazing.
Nikola Tesla in this publication predicted the fact that aluminum will become the “metal of the future”, clearly and accurately formulated the principles of use solar energy And high temperatures in the bowels of the earth. He told the amazed inhabitants of the Earth at the beginning of the twentieth century that interplanetary radio communications would appear in the future. He also reported the occurrence...
Just a minute, I’ll ask the faint of heart to stock up on valerian! Then don't say I didn't warn you!
So, Tesla announced the emergence in the near future... of robots and computers. Then, of course, there were no such words, so he called them “self-acting machines.” I mean, they were programmed - and they themselves act, do some kind of work. Moreover, you can control it from a distance.
As we see, both robots with computers and interplanetary radio communications have become a reality. They landed on the Moon, they sent spacecraft to other planets and received data from them. The prophecies have been fulfilled.
It should be noted that Tesla designed the first transmitter in 1893. Two years before Popov and four years before Marconi. However, radio was so primitive at that time that no one could even dream of controlling “self-acting machines” at a distance. Especially about interplanetary radio communications.
Yes, Tesla was a genius. Yes, he invented a lot of things. However, after such successful predictions, we need to take a closer look at his personality.
This happened in 1890, three years before Nikola Tesla created the first “wave transmitter” - radio. Friends came to visit him. As usual, we stayed up until the evening and got ready to go home.
However, the owner categorically refused to let them go. Like, stay with me, you won’t go anywhere today - that’s it. Moreover, with such passion and conviction that it even became scary. In general, we succumbed to persuasion and spent the night. They thought, you never know, he’ll get into a fight. A genius, an eccentric, not of this world.
And in the morning they learned that the evening train on which they intended to leave had crashed. That is, Tesla was aware of the disaster in advance.
Let's take a closer look. The year was 1912. The Titanic was about to set off on its first and last voyage. But no one yet knew that it would be the last. Nobody but the scientist. Nikola Tesla began to very emotionally convince his sponsors John Morgan and John Jacob Astor to hand over their tickets and sail on another ship.
Morgan had no doubt that Tesla knew more than mere mortals. I handed over the ticket and survived. And John Astor died.
First World War. Tesla predicts that it will end in December 1918. Wrong by no more than a week. He further states that the Second World War will begin twenty years after the First. Error - as they say, within the margin of error. Especially when it comes to prophecy.
We can go on, but, perhaps, the most important question has already ripened: how could Tesla have known in advance about the train crash, about the sinking of the Titanic, about robots and computers, about interplanetary communications, about the start and end dates of wars? I really didn’t see all this in a crystal ball!
No, I didn’t guess or predict. He just knew.
So, the people of the future began the Tesla project, apparently, in July 1873, in Serbia, which was then part of the Austrian Empire. Having received a matriculation certificate, Nikola returns to her native place, where cholera is rampant. And he gets sick.
Legend has it that the young man, briefly regaining consciousness, asked his father to let him study to become an engineer. Like, if you allow me, then I will have vitality to fight the disease. Since Nikola was dying, his father gave the go-ahead. And a miracle really happened.
Apparently, this was the first intervention. The second took place nine months later, when, according to legend, Nikola’s relatives hid Nikola in the mountains so that he would not be drafted into the army. It is suspicious that when the young man showed up to enroll in a technical school in Graz in 1875, no one arrested him for evading service in the imperial forces. It was as if the officials had lost their memory. We understand perfectly well who cured the young man of cholera, hid and straightened the papers in the office.
The move to America took place in early July 1884. And the active stage of the project began, which lasted until 1931. It was during this period that Tesla made all the inventions for which he became famous. I won’t list them, it’s too long, and you can find the information yourself in encyclopedias. I'll go straight to 1931.
The device, drawing energy directly from the world's ether, was assembled from a handful of resistors, copper wire, twelve radio tubes and several pieces of iron. It was this device that Nikola Tesla inserted into the Pierce-Arrow car, having previously replaced Gas engine to electric. And he began to drive through the streets at a speed that was crazy for those times - one hundred and fifty kilometers per hour!
Even now, electric cars are huge batteries on wheels. They take a long time to charge. Even if such a thing can accelerate like a Tesla car, the costs are too high.
In 1931, contemporaries declared the scientist a sorcerer and black magician. (And this is in the twentieth century, when the Inquisition had already been forgotten!)
The amazing medieval savagery had an effect - the Tesla project was decided to be curtailed. We realized that we were pushing progress too hard. The scientist took his box with a fantastic energy source, took it away and hid it so securely that it has not been found to this day. There aren't even any drawings left.
But something else remained - a patent for a Tesla coil numbered 512340, issued on January 9, 1984. And the application for this patent was filed on July 7, 1893.
The reel is simple, like everything ingenious. It is wound not with one, but with two insulated wires, then the end of the first is connected to the beginning of the second. Let's apply to her electricity- and we get an increase in energy striking with lightning.
Perhaps this is the main component of the generator, which drew energy from the ether and provided such a current that the car accelerated to one hundred and fifty kilometers per hour. But, as often happens, the most important things are in the little things. That is, in the configuration of a handful of resistors and a dozen radio tubes with pieces of hardware in addition. In the language of radio engineers, no schematic diagram- no device. After all, there are so many options that life is not enough to try to sort through them. Especially if neither the resistor values nor the lamp parameters are known.
However, attempts are still being made to recreate the ethereal generator. Oil will run out sooner or later, no matter how much you fight for it. Millions of cars will stop, all world economy will collapse. Therefore, something more efficient than a huge battery is urgently needed.
Apparently, experiments were also carried out in Russia. Western researchers have spotted a Tesla coil in power plants captured in photographs. They even found it on Google maps coordinates and satellite images of the area in the Moscow region. However, the structures look abandoned. No people, no guards, just a rusting fence with a warning sign. Apparently nothing worked out.
But technology still exists in the future. They came from somewhere, as did knowledge about wars and disasters. Perhaps right now, at this very moment, someone has received necessary information to construct an ethereal generator.
And he, like Tesla, will have to explain where knowledge comes from and invent mystical stories about some kind of insight. Maybe he will even repeat Tesla’s words that the brain is nothing more than a receiving device capable of receiving information from the Universe.
After all, it is better to be known as an eccentric, strange, than to tell the truth about secret clues from the future. Otherwise the mighty of the world they will certainly try to create weapons. By historical standards, Hiroshima was not that long ago, and the mentality has changed little since then, as evidenced by the tragic events in the “oil” countries.
One way or another, it will be possible to turn fantasy into reality in any case, because the depths of the earth are not bottomless. Although the time for this has not yet come.

Man from the Future
Modern Prometheus
At exactly eight o'clock, an aristocratic-looking man of about thirty was shown to his usual table in the Palm Room of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Tall, slender and elegantly dressed, he was the center of attention, although most, aware of the inventor's need for privacy, pretended not to look at him.
As always, eighteen linen napkins lay in front of him. Nikola Tesla could not explain why he gravitated towards numbers divisible by three, just as he could not explain why he had a pathological horror of germs. Or, for that matter, why he was so obsessively besieged by the many strange ideas that filled his life.
He began absentmindedly wiping the already sparkling silver and crystal, taking and discarding one napkin after another. A mound of starch formed on the serving table. Then, as each dish appeared, he made sure to calculate its volume before lifting the piece to his mouth. Otherwise, food would not bring him pleasure.
Visitors to the Palm Hall, who often come here to catch a glimpse of the inventor, could easily notice that he did not order dishes from the menu. Usually they were prepared for his arrival in accordance with the instructions he gave over the phone. Now they were served to him, not by the waiter, but, at his request, by the head waiter himself
While Tesla was meticulously assessing the dish he had brought, William Vanderbilt, passing by, paused for a moment and reproached the young Serb for not using Vanderbilt's box at the opera. Soon after his departure, a scholarly-looking man with a Van Dyck beard and small rimless glasses approached Tesla's table and greeted him with special courtesy. Robert Underwood Johnson, magazine publisher and poet, was a great ambitious and notorious social bon vivant.
Showing his teeth in a smile, Johnson leaned down and told the inventor in the ear of the latest rumors transmitted among the “400 chosen”: the modest schoolgirl Ann Morgan, it seems, was inflamed with love for the inventor and is begging her dad, J. Pierpont, to introduce her.
Tesla smiled his characteristic reserved smile and inquired about Johnson's wife, Katherine.
“Kate asked me to bring you to lunch on Sunday,” Johnson replied.
For some time they talked about another guest who Tesla liked very much, but only in a platonic way - the charming young pianist Margaret Merington. Finding out that she would also be at the dinner, Tesla accepted the invitation.
The publisher went on his way, and Tesla returned to calculating the volume of his dessert. Before he could finish his calculations, a messenger appeared at his table with a note. He immediately recognized the careless handwriting of his friend Mark Twain. “If you don’t have more interesting plans for the evening,” the comedian wrote, “perhaps you’ll join me at the Players Club?”
Tesla quickly wrote back: “Alas, I have to work. But if you join me at midnight in my laboratory, I think I can promise you good fun».
As usual, it was exactly ten o'clock when Tesla rose from his table and disappeared into the unevenly lit streets of Manhattan.
On the way to his laboratory, he turned into a small park and whistled softly. From the wall of the nearest house came the rustling of wings. And soon something unclear, with white trembling outlines, descended onto his shoulder. Tesla took out a bag of grain, fed the dove from his hand and released her into the night with a light whiff of an air kiss.
Now he was thinking about his future path. If you keep walking around the block, it will take three times longer. Sighing, he turned and walked towards his laboratory, 33-35 South Fifth Avenue (now West Broadway) near Bleecker Street.
Entering the dark lobby of a familiar building with an attic, he turned on the switch. Lamps like long tubes, illuminating the space filled with the outlines of mysterious mechanisms. The amazing thing about this light was that it had no contact with the electrical circuit running around the ceiling. The tubes received energy from the surrounding force field wire. You could take the light tube and freely move it anywhere in the workshop.
In the corner, a new contraption began to vibrate silently. Tesla narrowed his eyes with pleasure. Here, under some semblance of a platform, a tiny oscillator was working. Only one inventor knew its terrifying power.
Tesla looked thoughtfully through the window at the dark outlines multi-storey buildings visible below. His hard-working immigrant neighbors seemed to be sleeping peacefully. The police warned him about their complaints about the blue lights flashing from his windows and the electrical crackles that echoed through the dark streets.
He shrugged his shoulders and began to adjust something in the mechanism. Extremely concentrated, he was not aware of the passage of time until he heard a knock on the door.
Tesla hurried down to greet the English journalist from Pearson's Magazine, Chauncey McGovern.
"I'm so glad you could come, Mr. McGovern."
“I felt like I owed it to my readers. Everybody in London is talking about the New Wizard of the West, but they don't mean Mr. Edison."
“Well, get up. Let's see if I can live up to my reputation."
They were about to go upstairs, when suddenly near front door There was laughter and a voice that Tesla recognized.
“Oh, this is Mark.”
He opened the door again to admit Mark Twain and actor Joseph Jefferson. Both came straight from the Players Club. Twain's eyes sparkled with impatience.
“Let's put on a show, Tesla. You know what I always say?”
“No, what do you say, Mark?” - the inventor asked with a smile.
“The way I usually talk and remind you, they will later quote: “Thunder is good, thunder is impressive, but lightning does the work.”
“Then, my friend, today we will have a hurricane of work done. Let's go to".
McGovern subsequently recalled: “In order not to get a strong shock at the sight of Nikola Tesla’s laboratory, you need to have an unusually stable mind.”
“Imagine that you are sitting in a large, well-lit room, among many mechanisms of the most amazing view. A tall, thin young man approaches you and, with a simple snap of his fingers, instantly creates a ball of vibrating red flame and calmly holds it in his hands. You stare in surprise at how he manages not to burn his fingers. He drops this ball on his clothes, hair, on your lap and eventually places the fireball in wooden box. You notice with amazement that the flame does not leave the slightest trace anywhere, and you rub your eyes to make sure it’s not a dream.”
If McGovern was confused fireball Tesla, he was not alone in this. None of his contemporaries could explain how Tesla performed his oft-repeated spectacular “trick,” just as no one can explain it to this day.
00:09 — REGNUM
Inventor Nikola Tesla remained in world history as an outstanding scientist, ahead of his time and whose genius was compared with Leonardo da Vinci. The scientist himself stated that he was working not “for the present,” but “for the future.” He had more than 300 patented inventions alone that changed the engineering world, and there are more than a thousand in total. For example, his inventions formed the basis of modern energy supply, he discovered the principles of robotics and solar-powered engines, he is considered the creator of the compressor, industrial fan, water pump, electric meter, frequency meter, X-ray machine, car speedometer, fluorescent lamps, electric clocks, electrotherapy devices , he improved steam turbines, was engaged in the development of a locomotive, an aircraft, a car on electric motor. Tesla also predicted the emergence of the Internet and modern gadgets, conducted dangerous scientific experiments on the verge of science and fiction, which shocked even scientists. He argued and competed with Thomas Edison.
At the same time, his personality is shrouded in mystery and mysticism: they say Tesla slept no more than four hours a day, he had visions and aliens, he foresaw the future. The scientist is also credited with experiments with teleportation, “death rays”, his name is associated with the fall of the Tunguska meteorite in Siberia and the “Philadelphia experiment”, which allegedly made an entire ship invisible. Whether this is true or not still remains a mystery, since he burned his archive, stating that “ humanity is not yet ready for the greatness of my inventions».
Let us recall several of the most famous inventions of the genius and the experiments that are attributed to him.
War of Currents, or War with Edison
Tesla's name is associated with the study of alternating current, which the scientist's contemporaries considered “trash and nonsense”, unsuitable for widespread use. His opponent then became Thomas Edison himself, who advocated the use of direct current. Let us remember that direct current moves only in one direction and is difficult to transport over long distances (more than 3 km). That is, when transmitting electricity that occurs through wires, the resistance increases with increasing wire length, which entails losses due to heating and, as a result, can lead to dangerous discharges on the switch. Therefore, it was possible to transmit more power by increasing, for example, the thickness of the wires (which is expensive) or increasing the voltage. While alternating current capable of changing direction several tens of times per second, reaching high voltages (can be converted through transformer stations), and with minimal losses can be transmitted over long distances.
The scientific dispute over how electricity should be conducted and distributed has been called the “war of currents.”
Alternating current was known at that time, but it could not be used because it was single-phase. Tesla proved in practice that alternating current can be multiphase. And he created an engine and an alternating current generator that no one had managed to invent before him. Tesla ceded the patent for the invention of the alternating current generator to a millionaire by agreement for $1 million George Westinghouse, who used it in the construction of the largest power plant at that time - the hydroelectric power station at Niagara Falls.
Thomas Edison, who built a business empire on direct current, staged demonstrations of the dangers of alternating current by killing animals in public to discredit his competitor. After Edison learned from a doctor about the idea of using alternating current to kill people, the electric chair was invented. The first to be executed was a man who killed his mistress. In response, Tesla staged legendary demonstrations of the safety of alternating current by passing it through his body to light lamps, shocking even the scientists of the time.
The war of currents went on for more than 100 years, continuing after the death of the scientists. Formally, it ended after New York switched from direct current to alternating current in its energy supply. Today, Tesla's invention is used everywhere to generate and supply energy to homes.
"Tesla Coil"
One of the most spectacular inventions is the Tesla Coil, which is still a success at various shows and can be seen in specialized museums, cinema, and show business. It is a type of resonant transformer circuit and is used to generate high frequency voltage. Tesla created it for experiments with high-voltage charges; in action, the “coil” looks dangerous and at the same time captivates with its beauty: it produces electrical discharges of many meters, similar to lightning.
Speaking of lightning, one can recall an episode from the scientist’s childhood that was etched in his memory for the rest of his life. Once, while stroking a fluffy cat, he noticed sparks appearing between the fur and his hands. Explaining this phenomenon, Tesla's father spoke about the relationship between sparks and lightning and noted that electricity, like a cat, can be tamed. But you always need to remember about the other side - that it can be dangerous, like a natural element. Subsequently, many years of experiments with electricity led to the fact that Tesla began to shun sunlight, and popular rumor attributed to him a relationship with Dracula. In fact, due to regular exposure to electromagnetic fields, he began to see better in the dark, and in the light there was pain in his eyes - this is a rather rare disease. Another phobia that became his lifelong companion was the fear of getting an infection. It got to the point that the scientist did not greet people, constantly washed his hands and refused to eat food if a fly landed on it.
"Wardenclyffe Tower"
Tesla predicted the emergence of the Internet and modern gadgets. The prototype can be considered the project “Wordenclyffe Tower”, or “Tesla Tower”, the essence of which is the use of natural frequencies to transmit energy and a mass of data, speaking modern language, - wireless communication and wireless energy transfer. Ideally, the project could provide access to electricity supplies “from thin air” or from “ether,” which could ruin energy workers.
Speaking about wireless transmission, Tesla stated that
“When the project is completed, the businessman in New York will be able to dictate instructions, and they will immediately appear in his office in London or any other place. He will be able to call any subscriber on the planet from his workplace without changing existing equipment. A cheap device, no larger in size than a watch, will allow its owner to listen to music, songs, speeches of politicians, scientists, sermons of priests delivered to long distances. In the same way, any image, symbol, drawing, text can be transferred from one place to another. Millions of such devices can be controlled by a single station. However, more important than all this will be wireless power transmission.”
Today, wireless data transmission is commonplace. And then Tesla’s work was suspended. Researchers are still arguing at what stage these works were closed and what Tesla was able to achieve. Some believe that these studies may have triggered the appearance of the Tunguska meteorite over Russia in 1908.
Puzzles
The scientist was developing an electric car engine. In 1931, he demonstrated a car powered by an AC motor, claiming that it could reach speeds of up to 150 km/h and run for a week without charging. His invention was met with ridicule from his contemporaries; the engine drawings were not preserved.
Shortly before his death, Tesla stated that he had created a kind of “death ray” that concentrated energy capable of destroying 10 thousand aircraft. They also say that he was developing a time machine, a camera for thoughts, and teleportation.
One of the most mysterious is the so-called “Philadelphia experiment”, which took special place in fantastic literature and cinema. According to rumors, Tesla collaborated with the military, one of the projects concerned teleportation and technology for protecting ships from radar. But these developments were allegedly not completed - the scientist died of heart failure. Also, according to rumors, after Tesla’s death, the military decided to experiment on his developments. But the electromagnetic field allegedly created around the destroyer Eldridge made it invisible not only to radar, but also to the human eye. The destroyer simply disappeared. They also say that the ship and its crew teleported - they allegedly saw it 200 kilometers from the place of the experiment. As a result of the experiment, team members lost orientation in time and space and suffered mental disorders.
The secrets of the scientist and inventions still haunt the minds of scientists. Tesla himself said:
“The great mysteries of our existence have yet to be unraveled; even death may not be the end.”
Nikola Tesla is a man from the future.Address to the site with a wonderful post about this unique man - Nikola Tesla!!!

The great inventor Nikola Tesla has many fans. This was a man whose genius was far from great minds today. His intelligence seemed almost unearthly at times. Some have speculated that such a remarkable man may not have emerged from the womb of mother earth, but rather was the product of extraterrestrial intervention.

Man from the future. Nikola Tesla

New York, 48 East Houston Street. A strange scientist, unsociable, with a feverish gleam of black eyes lived at this address. There were rumors that he was a “relative of Count Dracula” and a vampire himself who could not stand sunlight... They also said that he created a weapon capable of smashing into pieces Earth. Nikola Tesla.
In fact, Nikola Tesla had nothing to do with Dracula. On the contrary, he was born into a family Orthodox priest. And he really avoided sunlight - because he was often exposed to powerful electromagnetic fields and his nerves acquired special sensitivity. The bright light hurt my eyes, the quiet rustling sounded like thunder. But he saw perfectly in the dark.
Rumors about destructive weapons also did not arise out of nowhere. Once Tesla conducted a series of experiments studying the processes of self-oscillations. And suddenly the tables and cabinets in the laboratory shook
Ratorii. Then the glass in the windows began to ring... Passers-by on the streets heard a strange hum. Buildings vibrated, glass fell from windows, gas and heating pipes, water pipes. It was the Great New York earthquake. They say that the entire city did not fall into ruins only because Tesla turned off the devices in time. True, official science claims that the experiment simply coincided with a natural disaster. But there is another opinion - the vibrations of the earth were caused by the operation of its installation. This possibility does not seem entirely incredible. After all we're talking about about Nikola Tesla!
Nikola Tesla, the greatest inventor, is undeservedly rarely remembered in physics textbooks.
He discovered alternating current, fluorescent light, wireless energy transmission, built a
The first electric clock, turbine, solar-powered engine.
He invented radio before Marconi and Popov, received three-phase current before Dolivo-Dobrovolsky.
Essentially, the entire energy industry of the 20th century grew on his patents. But this was not enough for him. Tesla worked for several decades on the problem of energy in the entire Universe.
I studied what moves the sun and luminaries. I tried to learn how to control cosmic energy myself. And establish connections with other worlds. Tesla did not consider all this to be his merit. He assured that he was simply acting as a conductor of ideas coming from the ether.
