New Technologies For A New Epoch - Parts I, II, and III.
By Marc Palmer
Many of his 700 patented inventions, most notably the development of Alternating Current (AC) instead of Thomas Edison's Direct Current (DC) as the world's electrical conveyance, are everywhere. Not only was he adept at conceiving complete plans in his head without slide-rules and such, but he would test run the apparatus then disassemble and check the parts for wear. He also had a keen awareness of vibration and frequency, thinking in terms and concepts few of his contemporaries (like Edison and friend, Albert Einstein) could rival.
Tesla's ideas were pure in that he strove to help build a society that could live well cheaply, without harming the environment. He designed and implemented the world's first hydroelectric power plant in Niagara Falls, NY, was the true inventor of radio, the polyphase induction motor (which powers conveyor belts to machine tools) and numerous basic components of modern technology. Tragically, his ideas of free energy lost out to the greed of wealthy financiers like J.P. Morgan, and have graced little more than footnotes in history and next to nothing in the Smithsonian. His ideas were ahead of his time, a time in which the few robber barons gathered up the resources and put them under lock and key, firmly under their control.
Times are changing, if you haven't noticed. What was hidden is now coming out into the light. The chains that many never took note of are now being noticed and recognized for what they are. Our true power is coming to the forefront, and we are on the journey of creating a future where we decide the parameters. Tesla's technologies are very congruent with meeting our planetary needs, and forward-thinking engineers and technicians are taking a renewed look at his inventions. The results could be startling.
What would you think if I told you about an engine that had very few moving parts, so maintenance is next to nothing, and though only 18" in diameter could easily power your vehicle? Though it is lightweight but extremely efficient (10hp per lb.), what if I told you it can run on water? Now, what would you think if I told you it not only was it an actual working prototype a century ago by Tesla, but is now being developed for the consumer market today? The Tesla Turbine Engine (though in essence a bladeless-disk rotary engine) is one of his inventions that has come of age, and is one of many emerging technologies that will solve many of our energy and ecological problems.
International Turbine And Power of Cody, Wyoming has a working prototype of the TTE that Frank Germano, President and CEO of IT&P, is putting into production. As of the first of the year, when interviewed via e-mail, he said he is confident he and his partners will have this technology "literally hitting the streets within six months." As with so many of Tesla's inventions, the myriad applications of this technology are limited only by imagination. Beyond highly efficient vehicle and industrial powerplant applications, Germano told me he sees immediate uses as an air-to-air compressor for "clean" refrigeration, a device which, when reversed works for heating as well.
He also says the first applications will be commercial and industrial, rapidly filtering down to the point where you will be able to buy a Tesla type turbine generator in a K-Mart, Wal-Mart or Home Depot. The TTE will run from ANY motive power, be it power of water flowing through it, or steam or from combustibles such as methane, propane, diesel, gasoline or hydrogen (with hydrogen, we have the ultimate "clean" engine, as the by-product of the combustion process is clean, distilled water!).
The Tesla Turbine Engine also has a great advantage over conventional turbines in being able to safely burn hydrogen, as the TTE can be made from exotic hybrid alloys that can operate in the 2,800 degree Fahrenheit range. In large-scale hydroelectric facilities, it can be employed continuously from wave power or on large rivers without a single dam or environmental intrusion.
The area Germano envisions next with great anticipation is aerial travel. Airships as large as the Hindenburg will operate with a large opening in the front where the air is sucked in, accelerated, then thrust out through the front rim. Visualize how water enters a fish's mouth and is forced out the gills around the sides. Thus the airship is "squeezed" through the air "like something slippery being squished out from your fingers." The same process can be duplicated in submarines. Helicopters using Tesla disk-based thrust systems would have 7-10 times the lift capabilities of today's helicopters and the potential to fly at MACH speed. Obviously, there is no limit to the applications for this type of technology.
On Tesla's 77th Birthday, as he was wont to do, gave his last press conference. He lamented that with his inventions in place, people would pay mere pennies for nearly unlimited energy. When asked by a reporter if he thought that might upset the economic system, he replied, "It is already upset."
Can engineers like Frank Germano succeed where Nikola Tesla failed? If we examine why Tesla's most important inventions were ignored, mainly the power the few were able to wield for continuity of their control (illusion!), then perhaps there is some divine light at the end of the tunnel. I firmly believe that these times will foster such a shedding of our old skins in so many ways that paradigms of the old systems will vanish, and soon, if my "source" is correct.
By the very nature of these changes, the "powers that be" will no longer hold that mantle, being replaced by "the power I AM" within all of us. This is the time of revelations in the most divine ways. We as a world will find out what's been kept from us and from that, we will be able to choose our divine path and be in harmony with where we live.
In part II, I will continue to report on the new, emerging light technologies, ones that work more on vibrational levels. Call them divine, call them alien technology, but in most cases they can be delivered to your door!
TESLA: Pt 2
Fuel-less Energy Devices
By: Marc Palmer
On a quiet morning in 1931, an incredible event occurred near Buffalo NY. The Pierce Arrow and General Electric companies were toying with the idea of electric motors for fleet trucks, and Nikola Tesla was contracted to conduct experiments. As reported by his nephew Mr. Savo, Tesla outfitted a Pierce Arrow with an AC motor rated at 80 h.p. For the power source, Tesla assembled some vacuum tubes and assorted parts in a medium-sized box. He hooked up cables from the motor to the black box, pushed two iron rods down into the apparatus and informed his passenger that the vehicle now had power. The car was driven for five hours and at speeds up to 90mph the first day, and put through more tests the eight following days without any problems. Dr. Tesla told his nephew that not only could the car be driven indefinitely, but the power source he drew upon could also supply a house "with power to spare". Tesla never disclosed exactly how he powered the vehicle as he had learned many painful lessons with disclosing too much information. This incredible event, one that could have changed so much, went into history nearly unnoticed.
The technology Tesla was experimenting with worked on principles and concepts very few were aware of. He produced working models that drew energy from a different type of energy source. This "radiant" energy source, Tesla said, came from the ethers as free and accessible. He carried out extensive experiments at Wardenclyffe Station, in Long Island, NY and Colorado Springs, CO, where he tinkered with ways he could re-broadcast this relatively free energy without wires. I believe, as many others do, that only a small fraction of Tesla's inventions were ever patented, patents which could better explain and demonstrate these concepts. To further complicate acknowledgement and advancement of his discoveries, Tesla used a terminology designed to confuse those who criticized him the most. Even into the 21st century, we are still groping in the dark trying to recreate what fantastic achievements Tesla created.
While Tesla's black box seemed to pull energy out of the ethers, there are new technologies that also strive to be "zero-point," or "fuel-less energy" devices. The Motionless Electromagnetic Generator (MEG) received patent # 6,362,718 in March 2002. Though a patent doesn't necessarily mean it works, it is a significant step towards production. Thomas E. Bearden, the MEG's co-inventor, describes the process as "extracting energy from a permanent magnet with energy-replenishing from the active vacuum." Though not exactly what Tesla was doing with his "black box," this technology also promises to utilize a fuel-less power source. The first models to be produced by Magnetic Energy Ltd. will have an output of 2.5 kilowatts of power, which when hooked together with other units can supply the needs of an average home. MEGs would be well suited for transportation as well. This energy is fuel-less, sustainable and virtually free (cost of purchase and maintenance if needed). There is much more information provided, including schematics and pictures, at the web address below.
For sure, there are many doubters and skeptics who will denounce Tom Bearden's and other's claims. They may be correct, yet in this new epoch, many of the new technologies will not come from years of scrutiny by the scientific establishment. I have often wondered why the scientific community, while gaining leaps and bounds from archaic concepts is still nonetheless mired in "the box." Any peer who peeks out from the box is seen as challenging proven theories, even if the prevailing paradigm is incomplete. Most often it is the person who is attacked and discredited, not the theory. The most radical concepts will most always come from an idea originating outside the box. A healthy skeptic wants to see proof, yet how far does that have to go? If this theory cannot be disproven, and a patented working model is offered, could there maybe be a possibility worthy of acceptance? History is replete with inventors and new paradigms being met with strong and even violent opposition from the establishment (Gallileo, et al).
Beyond the acceptance from the scientific community, there is a valid argument that there is active suppression of some new technologies. Yes, call me a conspiracy theorist, but who stands to lose from every individual on the planet being able to "unplug" from the power grid and release dependence on fossil fuels that harm the environment? Who would lose money, power and control? In whose best interest is it to discredit fringe scientists who threaten the status quo? Do you think the media, owned by these corporations, will present ways to implement free energy to us on 20/20? Because it is not on the news it's not credible? The media (TV in particular) still limits the information we receive and is often too focused on fearful events that "make good news." The Internet hosts myriad news sources and information not found anywhere else, but one must be discerning. It is becoming a Web of Light, free of national, sexual, racial and theological boundaries because we've reached childhood's end.
What would the world be like if everyone had the means to live in warmth and comfort, never experiencing lack? Idealistic? Yes. Attainable? If we believe it is so. But when the point of belief is reached, then it is up to us to implement it, to demand it. I personally don't like being toyed with; seeing gas prices bounce up and down, watching the wheels of government greased by oil companies limit my options on what types of technologies I can use. I want to use technologies that liberate me from control, waste and pollution, thank you very much. Our structures (science, banks, government, etc.) are changing, either gracefully, or kicking and screaming. They are not fulfilling their intended purposes of taking care of us, because we are meant to provide for ourselves. These new, clean technologies will not only be liberating individually, our planet NEEDS us to change our present modes NOW. We can't wait to see how much damage our planet can sustain. We absolutely cannot continue our current ways any longer. The evidence is there and so are the solutions.

Hemp: America's Rediscovered Resource
By Marc Palmer
Though hemp is regarded as one of the best sources for fabrics, health and fuel oils, paper and renewable building supplies (among it's myriad uses), it has suffered the mistakenly attached stigma of simply being the drug marijuana. Separating the "rope from the dope" is clearly the most difficult hurdle hemp advocates face when they attempt to restore hemp's rightful place among the world's most useful plants.
Factually, industrial hemp has no value as far as its euphoric properties are concerned. A person would have to smoke a couple hundred pounds of hemp to even feel a slight effect. Advocates don't want to legitimize the drug, they are interested in the industrial use of hemp. Most people working to revitalize the hemp industry have done so with profound moral conviction. It is a philosophy of working within the balance of nature, not exploiting it or damaging it. Hemp is a highly efficient plant; there aren't that many crops that that can shelter, clothe and feed you and also leave the soil in good condition.
>From humankind's earliest civilizations until up to 50 years ago (at least in the US), hemp was recognized for its valuable properties. As one of the earliest agricultural crops in pre-history, it could be said it was one of the foundations of civilization. From Mesopotamia to China to Rome to Europe and Scandinavia, hemp's history has been woven throughout our past. Long-used in the maritime industry for ropes and sails in shipping, the durable rigging held up Columbus's sails to the New World. Even America's founding fathers, Washington and Jefferson, grew hemp and stressed its importance for the viable economic survival of the newly founded nation. As a side note, even the first drafts of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence were written on hemp.
We could talk about how the wealthy special interests in the chemical, paper and fossil fuel industries used scare tactics and non-scientific reports to destroy the reputation of hemp, thus allowing toxin-producing policies and practices to flourish, but that would take too much time and paper to recount. Instead, a much more productive argument should be made for the plethora of uses that hemp provides. Even then, there is such a staggering amount of uses and reasons for using hemp, only a fraction can be told here. The information is out there.
The hemp plant has numerous applications, and each part of the plant can be utilized. The stalk provides nature's finest fiber and source of pulp for cellulose, the building blocks of modern industry. The seed is a complete and highly digestible source of nutrition and is also the source of highly useful oil. The leaves and roots help build and maintain soil, and can be employed to reverse the effects of erosion and deforestation.
Nutritionally, hemp seeds contain eight essential proteins and all of the essential amino acids and Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) necessary to maintain healthy human life. No other single plant source provides complete protein nutrition in such an easily digestible form, or has the oils essential to life in as perfect a ratio for health and vitality. Hemp seeds supply the necessary kinds and amounts of amino acids the body needs to make human serum albumin and serum globulins like the immune enhancing gamma globulin anti-bodies. Hemp seed oil is richer in EFAs than flax, evening primrose or any other seed oil. To get the same EFA profile found in hemp, you'd need a combination of flax, black currant and canola oil. EFA deficiencies have been linked to a host of degenerative ailments: arthritis, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, glandular atrophy, PMS, skin afflictions and weakened immune function. As a food source, hemp is more nutritious than soybeans, and hemp-based products range from cheese to hempburgers to hempseed cookies and pies. The list is endless.
Used in textiles, hemp is a durable and resilient fiber that lasts longer than cotton and is able to survive harsh conditions. It has superior insulation properties and can be soft as well. Modern textile mills could spin and weave hemp fiber as coarse as burlap or as smooth as silk, as heavy as canvas or as intricate as lace. In the same amount of land, hemp provides 250% more fibers than cotton and 600% more than flax. Among high-profile designers, both Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren have used hemp fiber in their collections. From jeans to nightgowns to rugged shoes to underwear to dresses, hemp's versatility and low production costs make it a valuable commodity in the textile industry. Best of all, hemp can be produced without the ecologically damaging practices needed for other established fibers like cotton. In 1993 alone, over 250 million pounds of pesticides were sprayed on cotton crops. These toxic chemicals wash off into our streams and oceans, polluting human water supplies and destroying wild life habitats. Hemp is grown without these toxic chemicals. In fact, many insect-repellent properties exist in hemp, which has few natural enemies.
As a building supply, hemp has nearly endless uses, and could easily replace wood as a main component of construction. C&S Specialty Builder's Supply of Harrisburg Oregon has determined that the only plant that can provide enough biomass on a sustainable basis to replace wood fiber in temperate climates (like in the US) is hemp. In conjunction with Washington State University's Wood Products Engineering Laboratory, C&S produced prototypes of medium-density fiberboard which demonstrate the complete feasibility of using hemp as a wood substitute, testing comparably to wood fiber or exceed it in such important areas as strength, flexibility and economy. Besides, hemp produces four times as much pulp per acre as does forest land, and grows in months, not years. It will reduce pulp mills' use of sulfuric acid, as hemp paper can be made without chlorine bleach.
Hemp is also rich in cellulose, which is the chief substance making up cell walls and is used to manufacture paper, plastic, film, rayon, etc. Cellulose can be employed to make plastic bags, synthetic fibers, fiberboards and resins, styrofoam, vinyl, plexiglass and magnetic tape as well as paper plates. Any thing not made with glass or metal can probably be made with hemp. We are limited only by our imaginations. High technology extrusion processes can transform hemp cellulose into boards and beams for building furniture, houses and offices, and processing hemp into biodegradable plastics will offer more environmentally sound products. Automotive pioneer Henry Ford once envisioned the feasibility of "a car grown from the soil."
Probably the most attractive part about using hemp is that it can be grown so quickly in temperate and tropical climates without harming nature. Biofuels like methanol can already compete with the price of regular unleaded gasoline on a cost-per-mile basis, without the danger of oil spills or wars to protect our access to it. It doesn't have to be an economic sacrifice either. We can end subsidies for tobacco, timber, nuclear and fossil fuels, not to mention the sheer amount of jobs that will be created. Revival of the hemp industry will create jobs and business opportunities from the smallest cottage industry level to multi-national corporations.
When we consider that anything made of cotton, timber and petrochemicals can also be made with hemp and that a conservative estimate of 50, 000 commercial uses exist right now, it is hard to imagine why our government still refuses to legalize hemp. Other countries, like Russia, are producing hemp products it right now in order to stabilize their economies. When we consider the clear-cutting of our forests and devastation of our natural habitats (not to mention the pollution we humans are forced to endure), it makes sense to give it a try. We can reclaim our deforested, eroded and unused lands. It can be regulated. It works with nature, not against it. Beyond the rhetoric about the evils of marijuana, industrial hemp is good for us: nutritionally, economically and environmentally. It is a resource that simply makes too much sense to be ignored anymore. We have been given all the plants, animals and natural resources to live forever in harmony with this planet. Using hemp is one extremely good way we can keep nature in balance. Earth can still be a garden paradise. We must move beyond our habit to control and pollute our planet, our home. We must be wise with the land that sustains us. It's the only one we have right now.

And...this one, quotes the Great General George Washington...1st President of the U.S.A.
"Make the most you can of the Indian Hemp seed and sow it everywhere."
--President George Washington, 1794
a.. Hemp seeds contain a protein that is more nutritious and more economical to produce than soybean protein. Hemp seeds are not intoxicating. Hemp seed protein can be used to produce virtually any product made from soybean: tofu, veggie burgers, butter, cheese, salad oils, ice cream, milk, etc. Hemp seed can also be ground into a nutritious flour that can be used to produce baked goods such as pasta, cookies, and breads.
a.. Hemp seed oil can be used to produce non-toxic diesel fuel, paint, varnish, detergent, ink and lubricating oil. Because hemp seeds account for up to half the weight of a mature hemp plant, hemp seed is a viable source for these products.
a.. Just as corn can be converted into clean-burning ethanol fuel, so can hemp. Because hemp produces more biomass than any plant species (including corn) that can be grown in a wide range of climates and locations, hemp has great potential to become a major source of ethanol fuel.
a.. Literally millions of wild hemp plants currently grow throughout the U.S. Wild hemp, like hemp grown for industrial use, has no drug properties because of its low THC content. U.S. marijuana laws prevent farmers from growing the same hemp plant that proliferates in nature by the millions.
a.. From 1776 to 1937, hemp was a major American crop and textiles made from hemp were common. Yet, The American Textile Museum, The Smithsonian Institute, and most American history books contain no mention of hemp. The government's War on Marijuana Smokers has created an atmosphere of self censorship--speaking of hemp in a positive manner is considered taboo.
a.. United States Presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew hemp, used products made from hemp, and praised the hemp plant in some of their writings. Under the laws written by today's politicians, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson would be considered a threat to society--they would be arrested and thrown in prison for the felony crime of growing plants.
