Superman of Science: Nikola Tesla's plot synopsis

According to rumors, Tesla was born into a Serbian family in a village called Smiljan at midnight on an electric night. The village was located near Gospi? in the Lika district of the Austrian Empire (today's Croesia*** and State). His baptismal record states that he was born on June 28 [N.S. July 10], 1856, and was baptized by Serbian Orthodox Father Toma Oklobd?ija. His father's name was Rev. Milutin Tesla and he was a priest in the Serbian Orthodox Church in the Karlovci Diocese of Sremski. His mother, named ?uka Mandi?, was herself the daughter of a Serbian Orthodox priest and was very good at making household hand tools. She could memorize many Serbian epics, but never learned to read. [5] His godfather, Jovan Drenovac, was an Army captain who defended the military frontier. Tesla was one of five children in the family, with one brother (Dane, who died in a horseback riding accident when Nikola was five years old) and three sisters (Milka, Angelina, and Marica). [6] By 1862 his family had moved to Gospi? Tesla attended school in Karlovac, Croatia, and studied electrical engineering at the Technical University of Graz in Austria in 1875. There he studied applications of alternating current. There are at least two references to him earning a bachelor's degree at the University of Graz. [7][8] Yet his school claims that he never earned a degree, that he attended only the first semester of his first year at the university, and had stopped attending lectures during that time. [9][10] According to his college roommate, Tesla did not graduate. [11] In 1878, he left Graz and cut off all contact with his family. His friends thought he had drowned in Mura. He went to Marboli, Slovenia, where he was first employed as an assistant engineer for a year. During this time he suffered a nervous breakdown. His father had been urging him to return to the Charles-Ferdinand branch of the University of Prague, so he went there for the summer semester in 1880. When his father died, however, he left the university, completing only one semester

Tesla was an avid reader of all kinds of books, memorizing whole books. His memory was like a camera (Vivid Memory. In his autobiography Tesla recounted every detailed part of the inspiration he experienced. In his early years, he experienced one illness after another. Suffering strange agonies, blinding flashes of light would often appear before his eyes, accompanied by hallucinations. Most of the time these visions had to do with a word or a thought about to flash; just by hearing a word he could visualize the actual details of the object. Modern empaths report the same symptoms. Tesla was able to visualize his inventions in detail in his mind before the test was manufactured. This is a technique now known as visual thinking. Tesla also often had rapid recollections of events that occurred in his early life, something that had already occurred in his childhood.

On June 30, 1908, on the banks of the Tungus River in the Siberian forests of the Russian Empire, a loud bang suddenly erupted, a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky, an intense white light appeared in the sky, and temperatures instantly scorched and roasted; the grass and trees in the central area of the explosion burned, and people seventy kilometers away were severely burned, while others were deafened by the tremendous noise. Not only was the neighborhood terrified, but other countries were also involved. Many lights in London, England, suddenly went out, leaving the city in darkness; people in many European countries saw flashes of daylight in the night sky; and even in the United States, far away on the other side of the ocean, people felt the earth shaking. ......

The exact time of the event was 7:17 a.m., at latitude 60 degrees, 53 minutes, and 09 seconds north, 101 degrees 53 minutes 40 seconds east longitude, near the Tungus River (now part of the Russian Federation's Evangelical Autonomous Region ). Its destructive power was later estimated to be equivalent to 15-20 million tons of TNT, and it carbonized 60 million trees from root to tip over 2,150 square kilometers.

At about 7:15 a.m. local time, locals northwest of Lake Baikal observed a huge fireball streaking across the sky with a brightness similar to that of the sun. A few minutes later, a bright light illuminated the entire sky, and a little later a shockwave shattered windowpanes within 650 kilometers of the area, and the phenomenon of myxoid clouds was observed. The explosion was recorded by seismic stations across Eurasia, and the resulting instability in air pressure was even detected by an automatic barometric pressure recorder, which had just been invented in England at the time. For the next few weeks, the night sky over Europe and western Russia was as bright as day, so bright that you didn't have to turn on a light to read at night. In the United States, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the Mount Wilson Observatory observed a decrease in atmospheric transparency for at least several months.

If the object had struck the Earth a few hours later, the explosion would have occurred in Europe, not in the sparsely populated Tunguska region, causing even greater loss of life.

Russia's tsarist rule was in turmoil at the time and it was not in a position to organize an investigation. The explosion was loosely referred to as the "Tunguska explosion". After the October Revolution, the Soviet regime sent a team of physicists, led by Kulik, to the Tungus region in 1921. They claimed that the explosion was caused by a huge meteorite. However, they never found the deep crater where the meteorite fell, nor did they find any meteorites. Only dozens of flat-bottomed shallow craters were found. Therefore, the "meteorite" is only a speculation at the time, the lack of evidence, Kulik and twice led the team to visit Tunguska, and aerial survey, found that the explosion caused by the destruction of an area of more than 20,000 square kilometers. At the same time, people also found a lot of strange phenomena, such as the explosion of the center of the trees did not all fall, only the leaves were burned; explosion of the growth rate of trees in the region to accelerate; the width of its annual rings from 0.4-2 mm increased to more than 5 mm; explosion of the region's reindeer have a strange skin disease date mange, etc.. Soon after the outbreak of World War II, Kulik threw in the towel and sacrificed his precious life in the war against fascism. The former Soviet Union on the Tunguska explosion of the expedition, was also forced to suspend. After World War II, the Soviet physicist Kasayev visited Japan, in December 1945, he arrived in Hiroshima, where the United States dropped the atomic bomb four months earlier. Looking at the ruins of Hiroshima, Kasaev was reminded of Tunguska, and it was clear that there were numerous similarities between the two:

The center of the blast was devastated, and the trees stood upright instead of falling.

The deaths of people and animals in the explosion were caused by nuclear radiation burns.

The explosion produced the same mushroom cloud shape, except that Tunguska's was much larger.

In particular, the photos taken in Tunguska of the dead trees with charred branches looked very similar to those on Hiroshima. As a result, Kasaev came up with a bold idea; he believed that the Tunguska explosion was a nuclear explosion caused by a nuclear-powered spaceship piloted by aliens that malfunctioned during landing.

This theory immediately caused a strong reaction in the Soviet scientific community. There was no shortage of supporters and opponents. Sorotov and others further speculated that the craft had come to the region to obtain fresh water for Lake Baikal. It was also pointed out that the mangy skin disease of reindeer in the Tungus region was very similar to the skin disease of cattle in New Mexico caused by radiation exposure after the U.S. nuclear tests in New Mexico in 1945, and the accelerated growth of trees and genetic mutations in plants and insects in the Tungus region were the same as those that occurred after U.S. nuclear tests in the Pacific islands.

In the 1950s and 1960s, the former House of Representatives sent several expeditions to the Tunguska region to investigate the nuclear explosions and insisted on the "meteorite theory" people claimed that the expedition found evidence in their favor, and the two sides could not persuade anyone. In the case where no central crater was found, it was argued that the fall was a comet, and therefore could only have produced a dust explosion, not a central crater.

In 1973, some American scientists came up with a new insight into this, suggesting that the explosion was caused by a cosmic black hole. Some small black hole triggered the explosion when it orbited over the Pacific Ocean between Iceland and Newfoundland. But little is known about the nature and characteristics of black holes. The existence of "small black holes" is still in doubt. As a result, there is not enough evidence for such an idea. Until today, the mystery of the Tunguska explosion has not been solved.

Another possibility is that it was due to Nikola Tesla's experiment. (Broadcast on June 16 and 17, 2009 at 10:00 p.m. on the central ten sets of 〈People〉 column, it is really inexplicable.)

As a giant in science, Tesla himself did not receive the honor to match. But Tesla was the man who opened the door to electricity and magnetism, pioneered modern electrical engineering, and brought about the second industrial revolution. His achievements in electromagnetism and engineering aside, Tesla is also credited with contributing to a variety of fields, including robotics, ballistics, information science, nuclear physics, and theoretical physics. Including the Internet, which we use as one of its contributions. These great contributions aside, let's talk about one of the great inventions that remains unused.

In 1889, he even invented the 'wireless method of transmitting electricity'. So in the United States Colorado Springs (Colorado Spring) to build laboratories to develop and research this "wireless power transmission" technology, that is, the current low-frequency (5060Hz) high-voltage current into a "high-frequency current", and then through the air as a transmission medium to transmit electricity. This "wireless power transmission" technology not only eliminates the cost of transmission cables, but also eliminates the losses caused by electrical resistance during transmission. After eight months of research, Tesla decided to test-build the first power tower, called the "Tesla Coil" (Tesla Coil), on Long Island.

One of the features of the Coil is its ability to produce high-voltage alternating current (AC) that is both high-frequency and low-current. This high-frequency current can be transmitted wirelessly through the air to another receiver over long distances with no adverse effects on the human body. Tesla discovered that the "high voltage current" could be converted into "high frequency high voltage current" and then the power could be transmitted indefinitely. "The Tesla Coil is an invention that utilizes this "wireless power transfer" technology, and it is even a kind of "free energy" that human beings have always dreamed of.

Tesla hosted a project called the Wardendyffe Project, an idea to build a Tesla Coil on Long Island that could output 1 million horsepower of alternating current.

The structure of the Tesla Coil basically consists of an induction loop, two large capacitors and a coil transformer.

At a press conference, Tesla demonstrated that the high-frequency current from the Tesla Coil flowed through his body and made a wireless light bulb glow.

Tesla mentioned in a congressional hearing that he had been able to make powerful electricity available at any time in any place. 。。。。 And was the Tunguska explosion an experiment by Tesla

Baseless speculation about Tunguska aside, why hasn't wireless power transmission technology been used?

Surprisingly, very few scientists were interested in the shock at the time, presumably because the Tungus region was so remote. Even if there had been any investigations of the area at the time, those records would have been lost in the chaotic times that followed-World War I, the Russian Revolution, and the Russian Civil War.

The earliest surviving survey of the region came almost 20 years later, when Leonid Kulik, a mineralogist at the Russian Academy of Sciences (Росси?йская Акаде?мия Нау?к?), traveled to the Tungus River region in 1921 and investigated the exact location of a meteorite impact in the area at the time. He persuaded the Soviet government to grant funds to the scientific investigation team, using the argument that the iron on the meteorite might have rescued Soviet industry.

Kulik's survey team finally found the explosion site in 1927. To their surprise, no crater occurred. Charred and dead trees spanned about 50 kilometers. The few trees close to the center of the explosion did not topple; their branches and bark were stripped off. Those that did fall did so in the opposite direction of the blast center.

Three other teams were sent to the area over the next 10 years, and Kulik found a small swamp that might have been a crater, but after draining it, he found some tree stumps at the bottom and was sure it wasn't a crater. 1938, Kulik had the whole area air-photographed again, and it showed that the trees had tumbled over in a huge butterfly-like shape, but he still didn't find any craters. He still didn't find any craters.

Survey teams in the area in the 1950s and '60s found tiny glass balls sprinkled across the land. Chemical analysis showed the balls contained high levels of nickel and iridium-metals commonly found in meteorites-and it was also determined that they were of extraterrestrial origin. Another team, led by Gennady Plekhanov, found no signs of radiation anomalies, suggesting that this was not a natural nuclear self-detonation.

In 1912, Tesla and Edison were both awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their contributions to electricity, but both refused to accept the award, citing an inability to bear sharing the honor with the other.

In addition to his outstanding achievements in electricity, Tesla's inventions and discoveries in other areas were also quite amazing. He devoted his life to the study of nonlinear (i.e., input and output are not proportional) problems, and once said he could divide the earth into 2. As early as 1912 Tesla proposed, "If the vibration of an object and the resonant frequency of the earth were correctly combined, in a few weeks it would be possible to cause the earth to shake and the ground to rise and fall." In 1935, Tesla drilled a deep well in his laboratory and lowered a steel casing into the well. He then plugged the well wellhead and fed vibrations of different frequencies into the well. Amazingly, at specific frequencies, the ground would suddenly vibrate strongly and cause the collapse of surrounding houses. Some magazines of the time commented, "Tesla used an artificially induced earthquake to nearly level New York." This was the famous Tesla experiment. This super-transmission effect of small input and strong output is called the Tesla effect, and is the key to geophysical weapons, which is why Tesla was also the founder of super-distance weapons.

Not only that, Tesla also invented the Tesla transformer, AC motors, the basis of modern computers, wireless communications, solar energy systems, radar devices, robots, dead light, lie detector, put forward the concept of electromagnetic radio frequency weapons... These inventions and discoveries surpassed the science and technology of the time for several eras, and some theories cannot be perfectly answered even by the most advanced science and technology today. After Tesla's death, the U.S. FBI confiscated all his design drawings and experimental works, and the U.S. military has not stopped researching his papers. This has also created a mysterious color for Tesla.

While Tesla was born a genius, his life was a bit rough, and his character was a bit eccentric, which made his evaluation significantly lower than his historical achievements. Tesla died alone in his hotel in 1943.

Tesla's funeral was held on January 12, 1943, at St. John's Cathedral in Manhattan, New York City. His body was burned to ashes, and his ashes were taken to Bergrad, Serbia, Yugoslavia, in 1957, where they are interred at the Nikola Tesla Museum in Bergrad, where they remain to this day.

Because of the potential importance of his research, Tesla's family and the Yugoslav embassy have been working to retrieve the items from U.S. authorities. Eventually, his nephew Sava Kosanovi?gained ownership of some of his personal belongings, which are on display at the Nikola Tesla Museum.
