Thomas Valone, Press Release, Integrity Research Institute, December 10, 2013, http://integrityresearchinstitute.org/news.html
The skeptical historian at the University of Virginia, W. Bernard Carlson has published his biography of Nikola Tesla this year, Tesla, Inventor of the Electrical Age (Princeton Univ. Press, 2013) for which a review inNatural History (9/13) magazine states, "He built towering generating stations, one in Colorado and another in Long Island, but the enterprise was doomed to failure by the laws of physics."
However, Carlson is not a physicist and even though I sent him my Harnessing the Wheelwork of Nature book when he was drafting this biography, over a year ago, he apparently did not consult with a single PhD expert on the physics of the Tesla wireless system who contributed to the Harnessing book. Instead, he decided to misrepresent and slander the world's greatest electrician and his life's work on the wireless transmission of power.
Many people who have studied the Harnessing book have endorsed it (see below). Furthermore, it contains a wealth of PhD-authored papers on the wireless transmission of power through the earth-ionosphere cavity. I have been considering a new book just on Tesla's Wireless Power Revolution, since it is needed today more than ever and there are even more PhD scientists who have explained the resonant transmission of 8 Hz pulsed near-field EM waves through the earth-ionosphere parallel capacitive cavity, the latest of which comes from Dr. Nick Simos, Brookhaven National Lab, who also presented at COFE6. See www.futurenergy.org for a video of his presentation and others from our last IRI conference on future energy.
Not only do students need to study Tesla's physics of electromagnetic pulsed transmission of power but apparently history professors do as well.

A good portray of Tesla as a man and the overall effect of his work on society. There is some hint of esoteric influence in his life. There are scientific and mathmatical explanations of his work for those equipped to understand them.

This review is from: Harnessing the Wheelwork of Nature: Tesla's Science of Energy (Paperback)
I wanted to share Tesla with my 10 year old daughter because it seems to be quite absent from the school curriculum. Oddly, even some science teachers at the mid-school level seem to know little about the true history of how alternating current and power generation have come about. I have other books and articles about his contributions, but wanted to find something that was a little less technical, a bit more in depth as well as an organized, historically true characterization of this man. This book has exceeded my expectations. It is not only a lesson into the great mind of a great man that deserves so much more, but also a lesson into the political realities of going against powerful entities such as JP Morgan and General Electric. Truly a book that should be in every science teachers library from 4th grade on up.

By

This review is from: Harnessing the Wheelwork of Nature: Tesla's Science of Energy (Paperback)
Harnessing the Wheelwork of Nature is a fascinating book about the transmission of electrical energy developed by Tesla. If you are not familair with this incredible man, consider his hundreds of inventions that have laid the groundwork for robotry, computers, microwaves, and nuclear fission, among many others. In the late 1800s, Tesla filed patents on things such as the incandescent electric light, the transmission of electrical energy, radios devices, electrical transformers, and generators.
This book is both entertaining and enlightening, and well worth the purchase price. Tesla has long been overlooked by the general public and deserves recognition as a great inventor, that even Edison learned from. This book in particular focuses on technology that Tesla invented over 100 years ago to transmit electrical energy around the globe, without powerlines. Why have we not implemented his ideas?

This review is from: Harnessing the Wheelwork of Nature: Tesla's Science of Energy (Paperback)
Deftly compiled and edited by Thomas Valone, Harnessing The Wheelwork Of Nature: Tesla's Science Of Energy is a straightforward look at Nikola Tesla's iconoclastic dream and scientific ambition for the development and utilization of a wireless transmission of power itself. Investigating Tesla's alternative to transmission lines and how his ideas could have changed (and may yet change) the shape of human civilization itself, Harnessing The Wheelwork Of Nature is a simply fascinating read offering a unique perspective on an idea that may well have found its time at last. Composed of a series of articles contributed by an impressive spectrum of informed and informative writers, the essays are grouped into three sections: History of Tesla's Early Electrical Life; Principles of Wireless Power Transmission; and Miscellaneous Articles and Tesla Reference Material. Simply put, Harnessing The Wheelwork Of Nature is mandatory reading for all students of Tesla's remarkable life and contributions to science.

BOOK REVIEW
"Harnessing the Wheelwork of Nature" is a new book by Thomas Valone, who edited this book in time for the Wardenclyffe Tower Centennial (1903-2003)*. This book presents for the first time, the feasibility argument for Tesla's most ambitious dream, the wireless transmission of power. Pictured on the book's cover near his feet, the 187-foot Wardenclyffe Tower was Tesla's means to deliver natural 8 Hz electricity anywhere in the world, by longitudinal waves.
Unknown to most electrical engineers, Nikola Tesla's dream answers the energy crisis worldwide, saves electrical conversion losses, and provides a real alternative to transmission lines. Among the total of sixteen chapters or articles, only a few are reviewed here.
In Dr. Corum's two contributed papers, he explains Tesla's magnifying transmitter, which Tesla compared to a telescope. Corum points out that "the tuned circuit of his magnifying transmitter was the whole earth-ionosphere cavity resonator." This fact helps explain why Tesla stated, "When there is no receiver there is no energy consumption anywhere. When the receiver is put on, it draws power. That is the exact opposite of the Hertz-wave system...radiating all the time whether the energy is received or not." Thus, with Tesla's futuristic transmission of power, source dissipation will only be experienced when a load is engaged in a tuned receiver somewhere on the earth. This fact alone represents a major leap forward in electrical transmission efficiency, even one hundred years later.
Dr. Rauscher indicates in her paper that the earth's magnetosphere is the source of electrical energy, as Tesla emphasized. She points out that the relatively small longitudinal impulses that the Tesla Tower supplies triggers the earth-ionosphere oscillations to take place so the receivers can tap the earth's atmospheric electrical energy. Tesla estimated the available energy of the earth-ionosphere cavity at 7.5 gigawatts whereas Dr. Rauscher today shows that it is closer to 3 terawatts (3 billion kW), while the US only consumes about 360 million kW today for electrical needs (at 27% of the world usage). Therefore, the earth has almost three times the capacity available for electrical consumption than the entire world presently utilizes everyday.
Why wasn't the prototype of Wardenclyffe finished in 1903? Tesla offered this visionary conclusion: "The world was not prepared for it. It was too far ahead of time. But the same laws will prevail in the end and make it a triumphal success... Let the future tell the truth and evaluate each one according to their work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine."
Up until now, there has been a general malaise regarding the lack of scientific comprehension of Tesla's greatest dream. For example, the Serb National Federation notes, "With the exception of the first biography of Tesla by John J. O'Neill, science editor of the New York Herald Tribune, and published in 1944, unfortunately no biographer since has had the necessary scientific/engineering academic credentials to discuss Tesla's work in the various fields." Contributors to Harnessing the Wheelwork of Nature are primarily physicists and engineers who are experts in Tesla technology. Their wealth of knowledge demonstrates their mastery of this extraordinarily progressive and technical subject. Finally, the best academic credentials have been brought to bear on the world's greatest electrical futurist.
This is a very readable and profusely illustrated reference volume on wireless transmission of power, besides being an excellent biographical gold mine of Tesla history.
Nick Cook, editor of "Jane's Defence Weekly" and author of "The Hunt for Zero Point" says, "Tesla is one of the great overlooked geniuses of science and electricity. His full story deserves to be told. Tom Valone sheds important new light on his life and work." ...
