~~~~~~~The other day the most gifted man the world has known died, he left the world richer by over a thousand inventions that God allowed him to conceive. With the passing of Tesla I have lost a very old friend, and because of my intense admiration for him I write this modest tribute.
~~~~~~~At the age of eleven, I had two teachers, Mother and Tesla. From her I learnt about God. Electricity fascinated me even at that age and my first reader was Tesla's investigation of high frequency currents, and I think I knew more about Tesla's inventions at the age of twelve than most engineers do now. Not only did I know something about his wonderful ideas, but, my brother and I actually built a working model of his wireless power transmitter, sending power without wires (using only the Earth) from Quebec City to the Lavel hills, a distance of fourteen miles; this was in 1906.
~~~~~~~And because I have lived and breathed Tesla the best part of my life, I know that his invention to end destructive wars (which he announced in 1934) would have prevented the second world war if it had been adopted. For if this idea had not been practical Tesla would not have announced it, because in spite of anything said to the contrary, he was never a wild dreamer. All around us we see proof of this. The new Shipshaw power system is one of Tesla's 'wild' dreams because it was he who invented the impossible thing of harnessing water power, and the hundred and one things, without which, no power generating and transmission system can operate. Most, if not all, of our electric light and power are operated by means of current supplied by machines of his invention; the alternating-current system including means of generating, transmitting, and using this energy. He invented and built the first and only practical motor that would run on the A.C. current.
~~~~~~~It was characteristic of Tesla that he developed all of his ideas and actually built them to perfection before he announced them, and that is the reason I have always taken it for granted that anything he made public must work. I wonder how many realize that the progress of industry during the past forty-five years is due to the inventions of Tesla! It may be rather difficult to convince the average person, but the proof of this amazing statement can be seen all around us; a glance through the patent records, and a study of Tesla's articles proves him the inventor of many things that others are given the credit for. There are many men who have tried to take away the credit for the radio invention, but from records to be found in his many lectures and patents, it is proved without a doubt that he is the inventor.
~~~~~~~Many well known engineers have, in the years since 1896, made various forms of wireless machines, one and all using the basic principles invented by Tesla. They all use his oscillator-transformer in one form or another, and have designed new parts all using the same basic idea. The perfect radio has yet to be made, and when it is, it will be a Tesla machine; the so called modern radio is not near perfect. In the future Tesla radio, all the power is sent from the transmitter. Tesla started his investigation of high frequency in 1889; he gave a demonstration of transmission of this current without wires through the Earth in 1891-1892; he gave an outline of this work before the Franklin Institute and National Electric Light Association in 1893; he explained

A Machine to End War

the plan to Prof. Helmholts with experiments, he stated it was practicable, and he perfected his system in 1896. In the summer of 1897 Lord Kelvin (whom my father worked for in England) honoured him with a visit in New York. He was carried away with the idea but at first condemned it because he thought it was Hertz waves, but approved when he was shown that it was true conduction, and was transformed into the warmest of supporters.
~~~~~~~The basic idea of the Tesla system, used in every radio, is the oscillation transformer, consisting of capacity and inductance which may be connected and interconnected in two, three, or more circuits. Many interesting facts can be obtained from Tesla's patents which anyone can obtain from the U.S. Patent Office. In those patents can be found the formula to end wars, and to send power to any part of the world, and even to other planets, without wires. I believe that it was his idea when he obtained the patent of 1896, to send the power in electrical energy from Niagara, to any part of the globe, without loss.
~~~~~~~This power in a slightly different manner is used to energize the war defensive barrier. In this machine the energy is concentrated and built up to an enormous amount. It then projects electrical controlled particles, enabling the conveyance to a great distance of thousands of horsepower, which nothing can resist.
~~~~~~~Others have devoted considerable time, seeking a practical apparatus similar to that of Tesla. It is not surprising that they have not found it, because the majority of professional scientists are tied down by hard and fast rules of out of date theories, so that it is only on rare occasions, more often by pure chance, that a new principle is discovered. Tesla, on the other hand made his own theories and proved them by practical demonstration. There had always been a strange antagonism towards Tesla, chiefly because he was so glaringly straightforward and honest; he made fools of experts who said "It can't be done" by doing the impossible. Tesla gave the credit for his ability to discover astonishing new principles to his Maker, who gives this rare knowledge to chosen individuals, who are thus ordained by Him to help mankind overcome some of their difficulties.
