Tesla effect

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tesla effect (named in honor of Nikola Tesla) is an archaic term for an application of a type of electrical conduction (that is, the movement of energy through matter; not just the production of voltage across a conductor).

[edit] Description

The Tesla effect is a type of high field gradient between electrode plates for wireless energy transfer. The Tesla effect uses high frequency alternating current potential differences transmitted between two plates or nodes. The electrostatic forces through natural media across a conductor situated in the changing magnetic flux can transfer power to the conducting receiving device (such as Tesla's wireless bulbs)[1][2]

[edit] Other uses

Currently, the term has been appropriated by some in the fringe scientific community as an effect which purportedly causes man-made earthquakes from electromagnetic standing waves, for example Tesla's teleforce via mechanical earth-resonance concepts.[3] A number of modern writers [4][5] have "reinterpreted" and expanded upon Tesla's original writings. In the process, they have invoked behavior and phenomena that are often inconsistent with experimental observation and mainstream science.
