Understanding Radiant Energy & Tesla

[Grumpy]

I asked once what RE was and someone responded that it is the "negative side of electricity" - not a direct quote.

Is this correct?

From the video of Eric Dollard with a TMT in which he shows that copper is "attracted" to bulbs lit by RE, while the hand is expelled, and taking Francis Nipher's work in which he views conductors as a "positive column" (electrically speaking), and then compare this with the laws explained by Walter Russell:

Positive charge attracts positive charge and expels negative discharge.

Negative discharge repels both negative discharge and positive charge.

Add all of this to the interpretation of Tesla's MT - that the ground connection is not negative, but is positive to the aerial capacitance (which is a virtal ground) and it appears that RE is "positive".

Now, this is by no means "difinitive", and may be totally wrong, so I open it for discussion...

believe I said it before, but in case it slipped your mind, I will repeat it here.  I spend my time immersed in the works of those who knew the source.  Russell, Tesla, and Keely, are three names on a really short list of individuals who knew the source.

Yes Erfinder, and all three got their ideas from Helmholtz. Now here is a guy worthy of study.

The electrical theory of Helmholtz required longitudinal waves, and an ether.  Tesla thought very highly of him.

Eric Dollard ran across a few things in his work the he stated "defied analysis".  I think he did all he could do and that this amounts to proving that Tesla's statements are correct (like you stated) and that we have much to learn about electricity.  As far as I know, he never defined RE or electricity -  at least not adequately.  I think Eric sought to understand Tesla's work and shared his findings - typical engineering approach to some degree. You are correct that he added to in some instances - specifically in reference to the e"qual weight of the primary and secondary" - which Eric changed to "equal surface area".  Had Tesla required "equal surface area", he would have stated it!   

So, the question is, what would equal masses provide that surface areas would not?  If you view mass as "potential energy" this may indicate that Tesla was working with something more "fundamental" than surface area and skin effects!  How is "matter" made manifest? What is "mass"?

Update 

@ erfinder - Thanks a bunch! iou one for pointing me in the right direction.    I wish I was 20 years younger and 40 years smarter, But i'll bet i'm still better looking! LOL

@ Grumpy - Thank you for the informative insights and brief humor!

@ ZPE - I agree that B&B is overrated and ect.. I loved the pulse motors thought, also adams and konzen. Got me started...first start and all that...Perhaps you could explain your sentence...

Bottom line: there is nothing magical about an inductive kickback, aside from it's apparent ability to elicit a RE effect. 

What is the RE effect you are referring to? please elaborate!

Update: Holy Crap, I replace my reality and substitute it with Tesla. My aching brain

Thanks Again!

My my erfinder! you have been buisy!
