Hojo Motor “Certain powerful interests did not wish the extended electromagnetics to be discovered or taught. That, after all, would lead to free energy and loss of economic control of the citizens. That was precisely why Nikola Tesla had already been suppressed … Today, over a hundred years later, it is still being suppressed”
Do you agree with this statement?
technically those are problems regarding people without morals, not the wireless electricity.
How is it possible to steal someone’s electricity if everyone was to be receiving it for free? That was his goal afterall: to provide the entire planet with free electricity. Power company (Westinghouse) said no when they found out it’s usage could not be metered.
Is all this true?
Chosen Answer:
No, none of what you have said is true.
This has been one of the favorite ‘CONspiracy theories’ for many years, which people wish to believe and are easily deceived by when they do not understand basic science.
Nikola Tesla was a brilliant scientist who also had a talent for showmanship.
He would sit in the middle of a room with artificial ‘lightning’ occurring all around him for people to watch.
He was also able to amaze people by holding an electric light in his hand, and with no attached wires was able to make it illuminate. People thought that this was ‘magic’ but it is something that anyone can replicate for a couple of $$ by building a simple ‘Tesla Coil’ transformer.
The original transformer seems quite crude by today’s standards, but is the basis for the high voltage production for ‘conventional’ televisions with a CRT display, and also used in LCD displays today to produce the ‘back-lighting’ voltage tor the ‘cold cathode’ lights.
BTW:
I also used to believe many of these myths when I was younger simply because I wanted to believe that they were true and because a friend told me it was true.
I also believed that ‘perpetual motion’ was possible.
I then studied some science and found out where my ideas were failing.
A myth can travel faster than the speed of sound while science information may only travel at the pace of a snail. Yet while sound is limited in its range the snail is NOT!
Good Luck!

No, I do not. I went to school in NY state, you’ll find that NY schools tend to teach about Tesla because he was a native of that state.
The idea that Tesla’s wireless electricity is being suppressed because it’s a better technology is a conspiracy theory. Their are lots of problem with wireless electricity; namely that people could develop energy weapons without needing a portable power source. They could steal electricty like people steal wireless bandwidth.
Nobody is pretending Tesla never existed.
However if you want to do any serious study of his ideas, as a mimimun you first need to learn vector calculus and Maxwell’s equations, and if he was actually right you probabily need to learn General Relativity, because classical electromagnetic theory shows what he was trying to do is hopelessly unrealistic in practice, even if it is theoretically possible.
None of those topics is “school level” science, because you wouldn’t have the math background to even get started on them.
If you skip the “hard science” background, you are left with nothing much to study except some stories about historical incidents, and most of those have been hijacked by non-scientists and conspiracy theorists who certainly have precious little morality and respect for truth – but I don’t expect you to agree with that assessment, since you appear to be one of them.
One of the few things that IS beyond dispute in all this confusion, is that whatever Tesla was actuially trying to achieve, he failed to achieve it. You could make a list of thousands of other scientists and amateur inventors who also had big ideas that they couldn’t put into practice, and none of them are studied in school science either.
Wireless electicity is in use today, and is about to become a lot more widespread.

The Tesla is the standard unit of magnetic field (1 Tesla – 10,000 Gauss).
I was certainly taught about Tesla at school, together with many other inventors.
Electricity has to be paid for because it takes fuel and capital investment to generate it. But it is metered before wireless transmission, not after. If anybody was to steal it, they would be stealing from the owner of the transmitter, not the power company. He would be very unlikely to be concerned about it.
I am not aware of any modern attempt to suppress any of Teslas inventions. To the contrary, there is a Tesla museum in Belgrade that aims to disseminate his technology as widely as possible. Plus I got 14,000,000 hits when I googled his name. The Rolling Stones only get 21,000,000 hits. So Tesla is almost as well known as the Rolling Stones!
