nikola tesla

how did he manage to light up the bulbs with wireless electricity?

Can someone point out some links or give us information on how this old technology works?

Re: nikola tesla

My first guess was electromagnetic induction, but it’s probably bit different … here’s some explanation:

^ google zindabad.

Re: nikola tesla

^ cant u induce network data with that technology also? ;)

Re: nikola tesla

There is no such technology in established science

Re: nikola tesla

Too much error rate in the way Tesla transmitted.

Re: nikola tesla

did he ever transmit?

To my knowledge no one has ever been able to transmit electricity wirelessly in a lab & at tesla times the concept of error rate was either not there or not mature enough (this is digital communication concept, digital communication came later on).

That vehicle is going to lift weight(may be human) up.
On their end they used a microwave oven and vehicle receiving end a bid screen resembling to solar cells.

at that point the were jut calculating the energy which the screen received.

And was bunch of student and they were unsure about if that microwave energy transfer will work.

Re: nikola tesla

Can you elaborate KOA.

I mean passing electricity what Tesla claimed and what you described seem to me as somwhat different entities. This seem to me more like either heating up of the screen due to microwaves or photo cell working in microwave spectrum. I think what tesla claimed was far more than that.

Re: nikola tesla

well i dont know the composition of microwaves.
But they do carry some form of energy--I know for sure that intensity of that energy is very low.
nothing like electromegnatic----but more like soler.
the reason i said that is at the recievig end those guys(who were doing the project) were using a panel similar to solar cell sheet,
size appx:: 3' X 4' (feet)

At that point they were just measuring the powet passed.
they had not done any mechanical work with that.
I did not noted down then specs. And yes energy omitter was just microwave oven.

No one was sure about success.

Re: nikola tesla

Dunno much about Microwaves, but I do know that there exists Microwave Powerplants, which produce big amounts of clean energy. Its a very expensive & new technology.

Re: nikola tesla

Well there is no difference between Microwave and Light except they both are in different frequency band but they both are electromagnetic.

This solar sheet is very much possible, but believe you me this is going to be a highly inefficent method of energy transfer and will never see the light of the day till we develop some materials which are way way efficient than the current ones. till than kiss it good bye outside the labs.

KOA, every EM wave carries energy, may it be light or microwave or even radio wave for that matter. how much it carries is off course good enough to pass signals but not power.
