Jack D. Smith

A native of Chicago, Illinois, Smith attended Chico, California High School and enlisted in the United States Navy immediately after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Upon discharge from the navy, he attended the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, on the GI Bill, where he obtained his bachelor degree in business administration with a minor in aviation. He embraced his love of flying and became a private pilot with a partner for seventeen of the twenty-three years that he flew. He and his wife flew the twelve Western states, Canada, Mexico and into the Southern states of Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. The Mooney he flew was his own version of the anti-gravity machine while airborne. He used his bachelor degree to become a State Farm Insurance agent, owning his own business for thirty years. Now retired, he resides in Van Nuys, California, with his wife, Janet. He is a senior member of Rotary International and has also been a member and president of the North Hollywood, California, Chamber of Commerce.

PROLOGUE

Anti-gravity, it promises much. Its uses are indeed unlimited. The construction industry will be revolutionized. It is an answer to many Military logistic requirements. Transportation is brimming with opportunities yet undreamed of. Close your eyes and let your imagination run wild. This missive is dedicated to the wonderful achievements and ideas based on Nicola Tesla patents and other ideas he wanted to promote for the benefit of mankind.

How did all his come about? The imagination of thousands of dreamers from time immemorial finally became reality with a remote, almost obscure handwritten jotting pad from the genius of a sometimes badly represented Yugoslavian inventor of the alternating current. AC (Alternating Current) is used world wide for delivery of electric power from a metropolitan city to .the most remote towns and villages. Nikola Tesla was not thoroughly appreciated by America’s own genius of electrical and motion picture inventiveness. The competition between Tesla and Edison over the best delivery system to use for getting electric power to the public—direct current or alternating current-drove a permanent wedge between these two powerful inventive geniuses.

Tesla was born in what is now known as Yugoslavia on July 10, 1856. As a young man he wrote The Fairy Tale of Electricity. (This may be seen on the Web < http://www.yurope.com/org/

tesla/uvode.htm > at the Museum of Nikola Tesla in Belgrade, Yugoslavia.)

The following excerpt is taken from that museum web site, where you may see much more Tesla history)

"Whoever wishes to get a true appreciation of the greatness of our age should study the history of electrical development. There he will find a story more wonderful than any tale from Arabian Nights. It begins long before the Christian era when Thales, Theophrastus and Pliny tell of the magic properties of electron-the precious substance we call amber—that came from the pure tears of the Hellades, sisters of Phaeton, the unfortunate youth who attempted to run the blazing chariot of Phoebus and nearly burned up the earth.

Moses was undoubtedly a practical and skillful electrician far in advance of his time. The Bible describes precisely and minutely arrangements constituting a machine in which electricity was generated by friction of air against silk curtains and stored in a box constructed like a condenser. It is very plausible to assume that the sons of Aaron were killed by a tension discharge and that the vestal fires were electrical. This was the birth of the condenser, perhaps the most marvelous electrical device ever invented. . . ."

Thomas Edison won the battle to use direct current throughout the first public use of electric power for homes, and industry for a period of time early in the 20th century. For local power using direct current ( DC ) was not deliverable for long distances from the Edison power plants. This problem finally opened the door for Tesla to prove his alternating current system (AC) for longer distances. Today we know it as 120 Volts, 60 cycles, and is used worldwide.

The tension between them broke off the mix of unlimited genius needed to have solved many human problems. Working hand in hand might have led to quicker answers that badgered mankind for centuries.

There was jealous envy by Edison and complete disdain by Tesla for things and people not fully appreciative of his great imagination and enviable genius. Tesla liked to live like royalty and when his income rose, he saw to it that he lived it. Saving and investing didn’t seem to have much appeal. When funds were low he always managed to invent and find a benefactor to use the item or invention profitably for them both. The Westinghouse companies manufacturers of the airbrake, used on Pullman passenger cars and trains, was encouraged to finance Tesla. That company saw his genius and funded many of his inventions including the development of AC, which to all intents and purposes has replaced Edison DC electrical distribution for cities and industry worldwide, with the exceptions of small, or specialized motors.

At Niagara Falls you will see a huge bronze statue of Nicola Tesla as a tribute to his genius and contributions to the world of electricity, as well as many more outstanding and literally earth shaking inventions, which. are still being discovered and used.

Nikola Tesla wrote his intriguing autobiography about My Inventions. It covers most of his life, 1856 to 1943, published by Hart Brothers, Austin, Texas, edited by Ben Johnson & with a few photos showing some early pictures of this lanky, dark haired gifted native born in the continuously troubled Balkan area of central Europe by Serbian parents in Croatia.

There appears to be a continuous aura about Tesla. His early life indicated he was no ordinary person. He was encompassed in some peculiar and chimerical manner with the cultists and spiritualists of his day. This threw some of his more important inventions and ideas, unfortunately, into the wrong camp by many less qualified scientists and engineers without his vision and electrical knowledge.

He was very naturally upset by the death of his mother when he found out. He had indicated that he saw her in a vision before her passing, and his admission of this put him into the camp of spiritualists., which he was not. Today it can be linked to what we call intuition. None of this can take away from Tesla his contributions to the world, no matter how far out some of his ideas might appear in these jaded present times, and even more so in his time frame. The unusual inventions and discoveries from the prolific mind of Tesla, as found in the Ben Johnson edited book are exciting. These will lead readers into what will be the basics of the Greatest Inventions for the 21st Century.

Tesla’s world system of power distribution without cable or distribution lines was based on his Tesla Transformer It produced and used electrical vibrations stronger than any other known methods then or in use today.

His second invention was his Magnifying Transmitter. It was used to excite the earth and was capable of lighting hundreds of thousands & maybe millions of incandescent lamps around the world.

Third: The Tesla Wireless system. It was to transport economically electrical energy great stances without wires., and with only a small loss of power over such distances.

Fourth The Art of individualization. To be used to transmit with absolute secrecy messages and other data safely.

Fifth The terrestrial Stationary waves. He explained this as a wonderful find on how the earth is able to accept electric vibrations of certain pitches, something like a tuning fork used by musicians and piano tuners. This vibration if powerful enough can excite the planet and be used for many important industrials, business and other commercial uses. We can now recognize a few of the present common day uses it has been found useful in using other vibrations for inventing such things as telegraph offices around the world. It was also the basis developing secretive government communications now used by most all non third world nations.

The diverse uses of his Terrestrial Stationary Waves machine and the offshoots of its effects is probably more recognizable as the ticker tape machine investors were using, and the more updated versions of communications by banks, investment houses, radio, Television, radar, and now even the internet. Wireless communication, as used in the cellular telephone owes some phase of their development to Tesla.

Nikola did build a huge, 187-foot tall tower for experimenting with such electric vibrations at his Long Island, New York laboratory. This took place during the First World War, and unfortunately it was destroyed by fire, with some questions whether the government might be instrumental in this destruction as Tesla coming from central Europe might possibly be sympathetic to the Central Powers, and not the Allies. All this, of course, proved totally false, just another set of war time jitters. He was already a citizen of America and very proud of that fact. He in fact developed for his new country a manner in which to locate a submarine in any sea in the globe. Current state of the art electronic and global positioning used by the United States Navy and for navigation are in common use along with other basic uses being refined from many of his inventions and discoveries. A few years later when he heard about it, Tesla thoroughly agreed with the 1917 statement made in Congress shown here.

In the House of Representatives in behalf of the American people, William Tyler Page, Clerk of the House on April 3, 1917 wrote the following as accepted by that elected governing body

THE AMERICAN’S CREED.

I believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies

At that time there was no available government financing, which in one respect allowed him to develop and experiment on his own. He was always in need of financing, however, and Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan furnished much-needed funds for awhile. However, the grandiose nature of some of the experiments led to expiration of financing. The world was not yet ready at that time to accept or understand. The world was not prepared for it. It was too far head of time. But the same laws will prevail in the end and make a triumphal success. (P91 Ben Johnson book). .

(To get into the spirit of this story: Gravity is the most familiar force of them all. The particle which carries it, the graviton, has yet to be discovered. See < http://www.cern.ch/Public/ gravity.html > )

THE COLORADO DISCOVERIES

These terrific and very unusual experiments were going on all the time in Tesla’s mind, his writings and notes. It wasn’t until sometime in the 1980’s that some of his hand written
