This
week marks the release of the Vol. 1, No. 1, July 10th 2013
issue of "Tesla Magazine" with an article of mine on "Tesla's
Wireless Energy Explained". The magazine is financed by the Tesla Science Foundation and
published in Toronto, Canada. The website apparently is still under
construction at www.teslainfo.org but
the Foundation website is a great resourcehttp://teslasciencefoundation.org/index.php/en/ .
I'm also off this week to the Nexus Youth Summit at
the UN to participate in a panel on "The Future of Energy," which may
help to spread the word about our institute's trailblazing work in that area.
Our
first article is a summary of our latest Conference on Future Energy
(COFE6) with everything from solar to cavitation fusion, which was
held at the U of Maryland for two days. All of the COFE6 presenter's Flash
videos are now online atwww.futurenergy.org for
anyone to review for free. We plan to publish the Proceedings
of COFE6 sometime later in the summer to accommodate a few
speakers with late submissions.
Can't
say enough good things about Story #2 and our latest publication, Understanding Tesla
Coils and Beyond by my good friend and colleague, Mark Bean.
The wonder of it all is the command of the science that is immediately apparent
upon reading it. Mark knows not only Spark Gap Coil designs of Tesla coils but
also the newest craze, Solid State Coils as well. The solid state version lets
practitioners couple music into the Tesla coil discharge, instead of using
speakers, for an eerie metallic-electric sound that is very unusual. Lastly,
Mark also covers the Vacuum Tube coil designs and Advanced Topics which makes
for a really complete TC design book. And with Tesla's wireless electricity coming
soon, every engineer will want to know more about the ways to create the
generators and receivers.
As 3D
printing is now being used for more unusual creations, how about the world's
first printed battery? Yes, Harvard University and the University of Illinois
are credited for this breakthrough in manufacturing microbatteries. An online
video is also included in our Story #3.
Will
we see more solar powered aircraft soon? Our Story #4 is also a first since the
Solar Impulse has flown across the country and also in Europe. We also know
that the military has been interested in such a plane for years. Next year the
company hopes to do a round the world trip as well.
Willow
glass is the secret also used on iPhones for flexibility and resistance to
breakage in our Story #5. Now what if that glass was used in solar panels or
even solar shingles that can be nailed to the roof? Corning Glass believes that
this will produce a low cost alternative to most solar panel home
installations.
Sincerely,
Thomas Valone, PhD, PE.
