........If a single one-megaton nuclear warhead were exploded 300

miles over the center of the country, a high-voltage
electromagnetic pulse would in theory disrupt communication and
electrical systems all over the continental U.S.
Gamma rays emitted by such an explosion would instantly strip
away the electrons from air molecules in the upper
atmosphere in roughly a circular, pancake-shaped zone. The free
electrons would then accelerate radially with the
earth's magnetic field, separating from the heavier, positively
charged ions and creating a downward directed
high-voltage electromagnetic pulse. This in turn results in
electrical surges in all exposed conductors on the ground.

........When Nikola Tesla discovered alternating current (AC)

electricity, he had great difficulty convincing men of his
time to believe in it. Thomas Edison was in favor of direct
current (DC) electricity and opposed AC electricity
strenuously. Tesla eventually sold his rights to his alternating
current patents to George Westinghouse for
$1,000,000. After paying off his investors, Tesla spent his
remaining funds on his other inventions and culminated his
efforts in a major breakthrough in 1899 at Colorado Springs by
transmitting 100 million volts of high-frequency
electric power wirelessly over a distance of 26 miles at which he
lit up a bank of 200 light bulbs and ran one electric
motor! With this souped up version of his Tesla coil, Tesla
claimed that only 5% of the transmitted energy was lost in
the process. But broke of funds again, he looked for investors to
back his project of broadcasting electric power in
almost unlimited amounts to any point on the globe. The method he
would use to produce this wireless power was to
employ the earth's own resonance with its specific vibrational
frequency to conduct AC electricity via a large electric
oscillator. When J.P. Morgan agreed to underwrite Tesla's
project, a strange structure was begun and almost
completed near Wardenclyffe in Long Island, N.Y. Looking like a
huge lattice-like, wooden oil derrick with a
mushroom cap, it had a total height of 200 feet. Then suddenly,
Morgan withdrew his support to the project in 1906,
and eventually the structure was dynamited and brought down in
1917.

........A Tesla coil is a special transformer that can take the

110 volt electricity from your house and convert it rapidly
to a great deal of high-voltage, high-frequency, low-amperage
power. The high-frequency output of even a small Tesla
coil can light up fluorescent tubes held several feet away
without any wire connections. Even a large number of spent
or discarded fluorescent tubes (their burned out cathodes are
irrelevant) will light up if hung near a long wire running
from a Tesla coil while using less than 100 watts drawn by the
coil itself when plugged into an electrical outlet! Since
the Tesla coil steps up the voltage to such a high degree, the
alternating oscillations achieve sufficient excitations
within the tubes of gases to produce lighting at a minimal
expense of original power! Fluorescent tubes can be held
under high-tension wires to produce the same lighting up effect.
Remember the farmer a few years ago who was
caught with an adaptive transformer under a set of high tension
lines that ran over his property? Through the air, he
pulled down all the power he needed to run his farm without using
any connecting apparatus to the lines overhead!
Any electrical engineer with the proper materials can do the same
thing.

........Incandescent bulbs burn high resistance filaments that

gobble up energy. Fluorescent tubes burn filaments
(cathodes) to create an electrical flow that sets their internal
phosphorus coatings aglow. Using a Tesla coil, high
voltage AC can light up glass-enclosed vacuum bulbs coolly
without any gases inside them at all! Any number of cold
light bulbs can be lit using only one Tesla coil, and since there
is nothing inside them to burn out, they can last
indefinitely. It seems like a low cost form of street lighting,
doesn't it?

........When Tesla was determining the resonant frequencies of

the earth to potentially transmit unlimited electric
power, he also recognized frequencies that acted as a damping
field to nullify electric power. With the advent of the
wireless and Tesla's unique investigations into broadcasting
electricity, a dozen or more inventors thereafter
announced their own means for transmitting electrical energy
without wires. One British inventor, H.
Grindell-Matthews, actually demonstrated his "mystery ray"
apparatus in 1924 to a Popular Science Monthly writer
in London (See: Pop. Sci. Monthly, Aug. 1924, P. 33). When his
beam was directed toward the magneto system of a
gasoline engine, it stopped the system. Afterwards, it ignited
gun powder, lit an electric lamp bulb from a distance
and killed a mouse in seconds! Grindell-Matthews said the secret
was involved with the "carrier beam" he used to
conduct a high-voltage, low-frequency electrical current. During
1936, Guglielmo Marconi experimented with
extremely low frequency (ELF) waves and displayed their
exceptional ability to penetrate metallic shielding. These
waves could affect electrical devices, overload circuits and
cause machines like generators, electric motors and
automobiles to stall. Diesel engines, which do not rely on
electrical ignition, were not affected. Mysteriously,
Marconi's research on the subject was never found after the war.
