during my research I came across Nikola
during my research I came across Nikola Tesla now Nikola Tesla was a pioneer of

example solar solar cell efficiency has went up from 7.6 percent to 48.6 percent
went up from 7.6 percent to 48.6 percent
went up from 7.6 percent to 48.6 percent in the last decade in a recent
in the last decade in a recent
in the last decade in a recent breakthrough in Germany we have
breakthrough in Germany we have
breakthrough in Germany we have successfully used nuclear fusion to
successfully used nuclear fusion to
successfully used nuclear fusion to power a small section of Germany and so
power a small section of Germany and so
power a small section of Germany and so that tells me that it is not the source
that tells me that it is not the source
that tells me that it is not the source of energy that is a problem rather it is
of energy that is a problem rather it is
of energy that is a problem rather it is a propagation of energy that’s the
a propagation of energy that’s the
a propagation of energy that’s the problem how do we get that energy to
problem how do we get that energy to
problem how do we get that energy to people living in the outskirts so so um
people living in the outskirts so so um
people living in the outskirts so so um power lines don’t often reach the
power lines don’t often reach the
power lines don’t often reach the outskirts of cities they’re often
outskirts of cities they’re often
outskirts of cities they’re often centralized around cities and when the
centralized around cities and when the
centralized around cities and when the power lines which are propagated through
power lines which are propagated through
power lines which are propagated through wires do reach outskirts they do so in a
wires do reach outskirts they do so in a
wires do reach outskirts they do so in a really unreliable way and also in a
really unreliable way and also in a
really unreliable way and also in a really hazardous way and so what could
really hazardous way and so what could
really hazardous way and so what could we do to replace that
we do to replace that
we do to replace that and this is where Nikola Tesla comes in
and this is where Nikola Tesla comes in
and this is where Nikola Tesla comes in he was a pioneer of wireless energy so
he was a pioneer of wireless energy so
he was a pioneer of wireless energy so Nikola Tesla came up with the concept of
Nikola Tesla came up with the concept of
Nikola Tesla came up with the concept of a Tesla coil in 1891 and the way a Tesla
a Tesla coil in 1891 and the way a Tesla
a Tesla coil in 1891 and the way a Tesla coil works is that you take one coil and
coil works is that you take one coil and
coil works is that you take one coil and then you put it into a magnetic field
then you put it into a magnetic field
then you put it into a magnetic field and when you put that coil into a
and when you put that coil into a
and when you put that coil into a magnetic field it induces a current it
magnetic field it induces a current it
magnetic field it induces a current it induces a current in that mcnett in that
induces a current in that mcnett in that
induces a current in that mcnett in that coil and that induces a magnetic field
coil and that induces a magnetic field
coil and that induces a magnetic field when you place a second coil in that
when you place a second coil in that
when you place a second coil in that magnetic field the magnetic field sends
magnetic field the magnetic field sends
magnetic field the magnetic field sends the energy the current from the first
the energy the current from the first
the energy the current from the first coil to the second coil and that further
coil to the second coil and that further
coil to the second coil and that further provides electricity for example this
provides electricity for example this
provides electricity for example this method is called induction and this is
method is called induction and this is
method is called induction and this is how a wireless toothbrush works now ok
how a wireless toothbrush works now ok
how a wireless toothbrush works now ok that’s cool like induction if it’s so
that’s cool like induction if it’s so
that’s cool like induction if it’s so easy to provide wireless energy like
easy to provide wireless energy like
easy to provide wireless energy like that why don’t we just use induction
that why don’t we just use induction
that why don’t we just use induction large-scale well there are two main
large-scale well there are two main
large-scale well there are two main problems with that the the problem with
problems with that the the problem with
problems with that the the problem with the first problem with induction is that
the first problem with induction is that
the first problem with induction is that it only works on a really really small
it only works on a really really small
it only works on a really really small scale the coils have to be really close
scale the coils have to be really close
scale the coils have to be really close together once you separate the coils the
together once you separate the coils the
together once you separate the coils the energy transmission ceases I’m pretty
energy transmission ceases I’m pretty
energy transmission ceases I’m pretty sure most of you physics students know
sure most of you physics students know
sure most of you physics students know the inverse square law that the energy
the inverse square law that the energy
the inverse square law that the energy that the energy of the waves electric
that the energy of the waves electric

that the energy transmission ceases um
that the energy transmission ceases um so Nikola Tesla wanted to implement this
so Nikola Tesla wanted to implement this
so Nikola Tesla wanted to implement this on a large scale and he thought to
on a large scale and he thought to
on a large scale and he thought to himself how could I possibly implement
himself how could I possibly implement
himself how could I possibly implement us on the large scale if I can’t
us on the large scale if I can’t
us on the large scale if I can’t separate the two coils we need to have a
separate the two coils we need to have a
separate the two coils we need to have a distance between them in order to have

long distance transmission and he
long distance transmission and he realized that I could use resonance in
realized that I could use resonance in
realized that I could use resonance in the Earth’s ionosphere instead of using
the Earth’s ionosphere instead of using
the Earth’s ionosphere instead of using instead of using a coil a second coil we
instead of using a coil a second coil we
instead of using a coil a second coil we could just use the Earth’s ionosphere as
could just use the Earth’s ionosphere as
could just use the Earth’s ionosphere as the second coil so residents so
the second coil so residents so
the second coil so residents so resonance is the tendency of an object
resonance is the tendency of an object
resonance is the tendency of an object to gain energy as oscillations that pass
to gain energy as oscillations that pass
to gain energy as oscillations that pass through it match the objects vibrations
through it match the objects vibrations
through it match the objects vibrations inherent vibrations and the ionosphere
inherent vibrations and the ionosphere
inherent vibrations and the ionosphere is just a section in the Earth’s
is just a section in the Earth’s
is just a section in the Earth’s atmosphere
atmosphere
atmosphere that contains ionized gases which allow
that contains ionized gases which allow
that contains ionized gases which allow electricity to pass by it so he thought
electricity to pass by it so he thought
electricity to pass by it so he thought that if he could get the perfect
that if he could get the perfect
that if he could get the perfect frequency the resonant frequency to to
frequency the resonant frequency to to

Earth’s ionosphere that would allow that
Earth’s ionosphere that would allow that current to pass through that ionosphere
current to pass through that ionosphere
current to pass through that ionosphere so just like once you match the
so just like once you match the
so just like once you match the resonance frequency of the ionosphere
resonance frequency of the ionosphere
resonance frequency of the ionosphere that allows you to change the energy in
that allows you to change the energy in
that allows you to change the energy in the current to a usable form of energy
the current to a usable form of energy
the current to a usable form of energy and since the ionosphere is around

initially but that wasn’t working we
initially but that wasn’t working we can’t propagate the ionosphere it’s too
