Decentralized Electricity- The Future That Never HappenedsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #life7 years ago

Nikola Tesla is a name that is often associated with the idea of free energy, and he once actually built a large tower designed to transmit electricity through the air, if one dares imagine such a feat. The tower was eventually dismantled and forgotten by most, and amazingly the source of power for Tesla's tower is still not part of the understanding of the world's mind.

Wireless Electricity!

 It would seem that something so important as wireless electricity should be considered revolutionary, or would even be commonplace features by now. Tesla's been gone 100 years, and here we are still piping electricity many miles through metallic wires like water splashing through storm drains-- unseen forces arcing and crackling through deadly tangles of copper atop forbidden poles. It's normal, and normal people don't sit around thinking about it. Could normal be wrong though, after all? Maybe it's time to re-imagine electricity, to shorten the distance for energy on it's perpetual journey to reach us and our gadgets . Imagine, what if electricity were to be decentralized?

Charged Topic

It's difficult to talk about electricity. What is it? It's not polite to point-- to point at all of the power poles strewn across our world and to ask, why is it all elevated so high on those poles? If someone were to ask why all the electricity is out of reach for most people, the typical answer would be related to the deadly high-voltage fixtures which children shouldn't play with, so up on the poles it goes. 

Why is it Dangerous?

If the child dares ask 'why we have electricity that hurts people?', there is no sane answer, especially when we reconsider the idea of wireless electricity. Maybe it's not that hard to figure out how to do it, but how would we know as long as it's up there on a pole, out of reach, and unpopular to talk about? 

Thinking like children, let's rethink Tesla's tower for a second. Since we don't know what electricity is yet, questions should come up, but the children will still need to be careful. We should want to make sure that the transmitter is harmless. Is it emitting invisible beams that cut through our skulls like telephone rays? A tower of cancer? If were sure it's safe then we can move forward.

Decentralize It

Where's this power-transmitter thing getting it's power? We still don't know, but that's not going to keep us from imagining it out further-- it's time to imagine everything now. If these Tesla tower things are safe, then we can have small ones, one in each neighborhood. Every community, but why not have one in every home, a small one? It could go in the hall closet, if it were small. Make it even smaller!

Now it's time to rethink again. What did we need that power for anyway? A light bulb? Why not just equip the bulb with it's own little nano-tower of power, and just skip the wireless business altogether? The power source could be built right into the skin of things.

Scrap The Tower (Again?)

Forget the wireless electricity tech for a sec. Now we can see why they let Tesla get that tower built long enough for a few photos: the tower isn't needed if every device is it's own power source! That tower was a distraction from the real revolutionary idea, and whether Tesla was powering his tower by incorporating the spin or sound of the galaxy, or if he was collecting the residual muscle of errant gravitational counter-spins of atomic resonance waves or whatever he may have been up to in his imagination, that same gadgetry could be miniaturized and fixed right into everything that needs energy. 

It's easy to imagine going beyond light bulbs powering themselves, since all of the world's power lines end up as power receptacles in the walls of our homes, loaded with wires leading to our devices, and we've become so used to it that we risk fires and electrical shock every day in our homes-- the potential for death splaying out way past the wiring, plain old fear piped in by the second, all for a nominal monthly fee. Now, with every device powering itself, no need for all of those deadly wires, and the only wireless tech needed would be the self-powered remote control unit for that light bulb/fan drone hovering high by the ceiling, for one simple domestic example. 

The idea of free energy is beginning to peek into the mind of the world now, and it's time to invent electricity or something better, to know exactly where it's coming from, and then decentralize it for everyone.

Like this piece and am about to build a test gatherer, which is a coil up in the air that 'draws in the cosmic radiation' and turns it into electricity. It takes wire, four diodes, two capacitors and a ground. If it does work, I will post it here because I live off grid by necessity

Fantastic. I remember listening to Art Bell years ago, and he was describing how he'd erected an antenna for Ham radio or something, and how the tower began collecting a charge immediately, causing problems for him. He didn't go into it much more, just noted it, and said it was "interesting", in a way that meant something... interesting!
I'd like to know more about your collector, I'm intending to go off grid like that in time-- look forward to that 'how-to' post when you get it up and collecting.

I used to listen to Art Bell! What a memory...
Been tuning in a little bit to Simon Parkes lately, also reminiscent of that period. Altho not staying up as late for it.

Oh, this topic is one we've discussed at length. Actually I have a story about it. I was with my step-son on the way back from a grape vine delivery and as we passed one ugly pole after another I wondered aloud "You ever think about how with such advances in technology, we're still using electricity from poles that were put up, what sixty years ago? There's no way that they haven't discovered a much more efficient wireless method by now. I'm sure some would conclude, much like he oil companies, the electric companies are wealthy and unwilling to go down without a fight. But there's something else...all of these poles are hooked up to a grid. Which means all it would take to knock out the power for the whole city is to bring that grid down. Sounds like a nice control device to me." And just as I finished this statement, I swear to you, we passed a huge billboard that read "You never know". To this day I have no idea what that billboard was in reference to, but I won't forget the look on my step-son's face as we passed it, his eyebrows winging into the air.

That's a good point, that it makes a good control system as far as taking out the whole array with one action.
I always think that if electricity were more accessible, then we would have accidentally discovered lots more about it by now, 'we' as in the world's group mind. It's not surprising that geeky interest in electricity is discouraged by society, it keeps thing as they are.

YES! Good one...this is the other side of what I've got...the REAL free energy system for this planet. From my "work." There is a free energy generator at the Earth's core. Which is the reason for all the earthchanges now (it was hit by a comet, eons ago that damaged the core mechanism and caused the planet to expand and move all of the plates to current positions on the globe, and it is clearing.) Once it heals, which I believe is the purpose of the upcoming Tribulation period (already started in earnest) everyone on this planet will have access to Free Energy, as the source for Decentralized Energy collection, which is what this article is all about.

Just imagine the possibilities! Which...you are. I remember years ago hearing a story about mini solar collectors that would be sewn into clothing. It reminds me of this!

That's good, the planet says it will be free, I won't argue.
