This part may be split into some subs as it covers many years of research.\n\n__Part 3: Power generation__\nIn this part I will briefly go through how Tesla intended to generate electrical power with his TMT. I say briefly because I already covered most of that in my earlier posts.\n\n__Part 4: Power distribution__\nIn this part I will explain how Tesla wanted to distribute the generated power all over the world without the use of wires.\n\n__Part 5: Communication and navigation__\nIn this part I will briefly touch upon the communication part of the TMT. I will do that briefly because I did not research that in great depth,<br> but I can outline the basic principles. In fact,<br> judging from the Long Island Notes,<br> I believe that Tesla himself had not yet worked out all details.\n\nThe general consensus is that a TMT is a Tesla coil with a third,<br> so called \u201cextra coil\u201d. This is what you will find explained in [Wiki (https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Magnifying_transmitter),<br> but there is absolutely no basis in Tesla\u2019s work for this assumption. The best \u201cexplanation\u201d for this misconception is that Tesla\u2019s patent 1,<br>119,<br>732 contains an image that vaguely resembles his Wardenclyffe tower,<br> and we know that at Wardenclyffe he intended to build a TMT. The image of this patent is shown in the Wikipedia entry,<br> and to avoid confusion I will not copy it here.\nI wanted to correct Wiki on this,<br> but in Wiki\u2019s rules you will find that Wiki represents the general consensus __even if it can be proven wrong__. So that ruined my appetite.\n\nLeland Anderson,<br> a great researcher of Tesla\u2019s legacy provided us with a number of different schematics of the TMT which are __much__ more likely to be true. \n\n![TMT diagrams (http:\/\/www.steemimg.com\/images\/2017\/02\/04\/TMTs7047c.png)\n\nThese were published in the \u201cElectric Spacecraft\u201d of Apr\/May\/Jun 1997. As you can see this also shows a tower but here in the accompanying text you will find that this _is_ closely related to the Wardenclyffe project.\n\nBrowsing through Tesla\u2019s Colorado Springs Notes we find numerous diagrams to support Leland Anderson\u2019s finds. \n\n![CSN diagrams (http:\/\/www.steemimg.com\/images\/2017\/02\/04\/CSNs8540d.png)\n\nThese are only a few examples.\n\nTesla describes the TMT in the following articles:\n1904 March 5th,<br> \u201cThe Transmission of Electrical Energy Without Wires\u201d.\n1905 January 7th,<br> \u201cThe Transmission of Electrical Energy Without Wires as a Means for Furthering Peace\u201d.\nboth published in the \u201cElectrical World and Engineer\u201d.\n1916,<br> the pre-hearing interview.\n1919,<br> his autobiography.\nWhat you\u2019ll read in these articles completely rules out that the general consensus would be correct.\nThe best description by far,<br> you will find in his coded masterpiece of June 1900 \u201cThe Problem of Increasing Human Energy\u201d. That is of course,<br> once you understand the code.\n\nYou can also find mentions in these articles but without much explanation:\n1907 May 3rd,<br> \u201cTesla's Tidal Wave to Make War impossible\u201d,<br> English Mechanic and World of Science.\n1907 June 23rd,<br> \u201cCan Bridge the Gap to Mars\u201d,<br> New York Times.\n1927 October 16th,<br> \u201cWorld System of Wireless Transmission of Energy\u201d,<br> Telegraph and Telegraph Age.\n\n![Sparks (http:\/\/www.steemimg.com\/images\/2017\/02\/04\/Sparksd3e44.jpg)\n\nIn many famous pictures of Tesla you will see very large high voltage discharges. Some people say that although Tesla was fascinated by this display,<br> it was not his ultimate goal to produce these discharges. I think there is some nuance to be added here as can be seen in the above diagrams which __all__ include a spark gap.\n\nHaving shown the true diagrams of the TMT and mentioned some of the things that it can accomplish this concludes the introduction. In the next posts we will get into the details.\nIf you have any questions,<br> or want me to elaborate on some point,<br> please do not hesitate to ask.",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"science\",<br>\"history\",<br>\"tesla\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"http:\/\/www.steemimg.com\/images\/2017\/02\/04\/TMTs7047c.png\",<br>\"http:\/\/www.steemimg.com\/images\/2017\/02\/04\/CSNs8540d.png\",<br>\"http:\/\/www.steemimg.com\/images\/2017\/02\/04\/Sparksd3e44.jpg\" ,<br>\"links\":[\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Magnifying_transmitter\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " | | vote | "voter":"mage00000",
