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.

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.

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?

5.0 out of 5 stars For all students of
Tesla's remarkable life, January 10, 2003
By
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing presentation of
wireless power transmission, December 3, 2002

Energy (Paperback)
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." ...
