'Free' Energy?

There's a concept... Hold it off to the side for a moment.


The new Tesla all-electric vehicle is getting a great deal of attention lately. It should. I like what this innovative and entrepreneurial company represents...and stands for.

Take a look at this:

 

-The integration of technology and transportation, with an emphasis on the human interface and environment. Steve Jobs would be driving a Tesla in my humble opinion... In fact, Apple and Tesla are pursuing multiple avenues of aligning their technologies with their philosophies; to include making a ton of money. And they should; again, just my humble opinion.

 

OK, back to the 'Free' energy idea.

 

Namesake to this auto company and unknown but to a small percentage of Americans is Nikola Tesla, a young Serbian immigrant to this country in 1884, who applied his evolutionary thinking and science to form our modern-day electric industry. His other innovations are numerous and his brilliance has impacted modern-day living in an on-going way. 

 

 

Arguably his most radical belief? Energy is a God-given element for all to use; wisely and FREELY. His technologies sourced it directly from the earth and his vision included distribution of it to society for little or no cost. Do you think this put him at odds with the great and powerful industrialists of the late 1800's and early 20th century? You bet it did. And he was made a radical and a virtual outcast in many circles. Thomas Edison got his name on hundreds of schools. Know anyone that went to Tesla High? (Let me know if you do!) There is something to ponder for a bit.

 

Here's what Mr. Tesla had to say about precisely what's occurring today... and this was over a hundred years ago:

 

Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point of the universe. This idea is not novel. Men have been led to it long ago by instinct or reason; it has been expressed in many ways, and in many places, in the history of old and new. We find it in the delightful myth of Antheus, who derives power from the earth; we find it among the subtle speculations of one of your splendid mathematicians and in many hints and statements of thinkers of the present time. Throughout  space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic! If static, our hopes are in vain; if kinetic - and this we know it is, for certain - then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of Nature.

-"Experiments with alternate currents of high potential and high frequency" (February 1892)

Nikola Tesla

 

I don't expect to get my Tesla Roadster for free.

 

I do hope that we become more aware and reflect upon the true 'Wheework of Nature' Tesla spoke of and continue to develop ways to connect with it in healthy, natural ways.

 

And that can become a very freeing experience.
