New invention of motion less generation of electric power

"This [Fig. 32] is another improvement in that particular device, which was the weakness of the invention and which I tried to eliminate.  This device incorporated many spark gaps in series.  It had a peculiar feature; namely, through the great number of gaps, I was able, as I have pointed out in my writings, to produce oscillations without even a spark being visible between the knobs.  This device is now known in the art as the "quenched spark gap." Professor Wein has formulated a beautiful theory about it, which I understand has netted him the Nobel prize.  Wein's theories are admirable.  The only trouble is that he has overlooked one very important fact.  It is this: If the apparatus is properly designed and operated, there is no use for the quenched gap, for the oscillations are continuous anyway.  The radio men who came after me had the problem before them of making a bell sound, and they immersed it in mercury.  Now, you know mercury is heavy.  When they struck their bell, the mercury did not permit it to vibrate long because it took away all the energy.  I put my bell in a vacuum and make it vibrate for hours.  I have designed circuits in connection with an enterprise in 1898 for transmission of energy which, once started, would vibrate three years, and even after that the oscillations could still be detected.  Professor Wein's theory is very beautiful, but it really has no practical meaning.  It will become useless as soon as the inefficient apparatus of the day, with antennae that radiate energy rapidly, [are] replaced by a scientifically designed oscillator which does not give out energy except when it gets up to a tremendous electromagnetic momentum."

if we could make thousand of such small oscillators we could make it eficient and self+sustaining

you can be shocked but I'm reading and reading Tesla article from 1919 year and it's become obvious that Tesla denied existence of Hertz waves as shown by Hertz experiments  ! In fact if he was correct we are using his system not Hertz one, and using it not the way Tesla planned.
I'm very confused. Either there is possibility to use radio transmitters to produce Tesla-waves instead of EM waves or Tesla-waves are actually what is transmitted but all radio devices are intentionally spoiled to show only a small incoming energy part.
What can be SURE based on Tesla honesty - he proved that his oscillators produce "longitudinal oscillations akin to sound waves in ether" not EM "transverse oscillations of ether" - so not like light rather like conduction current through space !

Read it and you will be astounded : http://www.tfcbooks.com/tesla/1919-05-00.htm

hmm,Tesla explained it here :

"I hope that I have been clear in this exposition â€" in bringing to your attention that what I show here is the system of the day, and is my system -- only the radio engineers use my apparatus to produce too much of this electromagnetic energy here, instead of concentrating all their attention on designing an apparatus which will impress a current upon the earth and not waste the power of the plant in an uneconomical process.

Counsel

You say radio engineers put too much energy into the radiating part.  What, as a matter of fact, according to your conception, is the part of the energy that is received in the receivers in the present system?

Tesla

That has been investigated.  Very valuable experiments have been made by Dr. Austin, who has measured the effects at a distance.  He has evolved a formula in agreement with the Hertz wave theory, and the energy collected is an absolutely vanishing quantity.  It is just enough to operate a very delicate receiver.  If it were not for such devices as are now in use, the audion, for instance, nothing could be done.  But with the audion, they magnify so that this infinitesimal energy they get is sufficient to operate the receiver.  With my system, I can convey to a distant point millions of times the energy they transmit."


Ok,then we are using radio transmitters incorrectly.The only reason why we have a radio is the invention of vacuum tubes and then transistors for magnification of feeble signals. What a shame and waste of power !

I remember a lecture done on Tesla strength almost two decades ago, they said that at or above 13T some forms of matter began to act like liquids instead of solids. but 13T was the beginning of that magical tesla number.

I have never seen that phenomonom directly because I have never had access to a Super Electromagnet of that strength. I have heard that we can acheive up to 900T pulsed for less than a second but the device destroys itself in that brief moment like it was a box of dynomite. nobody at all is allowed to be in the room when they charge it up or they would die.
