The History of Wireless Transmission

junglelord · Feb 5, 2010

This will be a thread about the History of both Wireless Information and Wireless Energy.
Here is a copy of a paper called the "full" history of wireless....
funny no Tesla so its no where near complete!
Still dispite that fact, it has good information, but a little retarted to have no Tesla!

Since this story is critical to understanding wireless tranmission variablities, lets take it one step at a time.
As it is with any event in history, invention of a process is seldom the responsibility of only one singular person. Radio, as we know it, has been attributed to Guglimo Marconi, however his success was built upon the works of Hertz, Lodge and Branley, and Tesla.

Let us now take a trip back into history, Let’s even go back before Marconi was a twinkle in his parent’s eye!
The first transmission of electricity was due to electrostatic impulse.
This happened in 1860 by a man named Mahlon Loomis

The Early Days
Mahlon Loomis was born July 21, 1826, in Oppenhiem New York, into the family of Professor Nathan Loomis and Waitie Loomis. He was the fourth of nine children.

Not a lot of details are available about Mahlon Loomis’ early life. This is unfortunate because it is often interesting to see how a young inventive mind grows. We do, however, know that he was surrounded by educated minds, as his father was a founder of the AMERICAN EPHEMERIS and NATIONAL ALMANAC. In addition to this, his older brother George, was an inventor and holder of several patents himself.

In 1836, Mahlon’s family moved to Springvale, Virginia. In September of 1848, Mahlon went to Cleveland, Ohio to partake in the study of dentistry. In 1850, he returned to Springvale to continue his dental work.

For several years Mahlon spent time as a traveling dentist. During this time he went to Earlville, New York, Cambridgeport Massachusetts and Philadelphia. During this practice in Massachusetts he received a patent for a mineral plate (Kaolin ) process for the making of artificial teeth.

In November of 1856, Loomis and his bride of only a few months, Achsah Ashley, settled in Washington D.C. to set up a dentistry practice.

But this is where our story really starts...the history of wireless transmission of electricity.
It begins with electrostatic impulse induction based on two kites made of copper mesh, with copper lines, one attatched to a galvinmeter and then to ground, the second one is touched to ground to send a signal....volia electrostatic impulse induction. Very good distances too, over 12 miles!

This type of transmission is termed Single Energy, as it only used Electrostatic Impulse Induction, nothing else.

The Start Of The Electrical Days
About 1860, Mahlon Loomis became interested in electricity, and his first application of this was an experiment in the forced increase of growth in plants. This was achieved by buried metal plates connected to an electrical current furnished by batteries.

In this same time period Mahlon became interested in using the electrical charges obtainable from the upper atmosphere by means of kites carrying metal wires. At first he planned to use this natural source of electricity to replace batteries on a telegraph circuit. It is noted in many references that this was something that was actually achieved on a telegraph line that was 400 miles long.

Later on, from experiments in this area, Mahlon discovered that a kite sent aloft would affect the flow of current in another kite that was some distance away from the first kite.
This set him on a path of developing it as a system of wireless telegraphy for practical long distance communications.
It Actually Works!

The year is 1868, and Mahlon Loomis demonstrates to a group of Congressmen and eminent scientists a wireless "communication" system between two sites 14 to 18 miles apart. There seems to be some discrepancy as to the distance in the various records that exist, however in the picture that was drawn by Mahlon Loomis, 14 miles is mentioned. This and many other pictures and notes are on file in the Library of Congress.

From one mountain peak he sent up a kite, the bottom of which was covered with thin copper gauze, and the kite string was copper wire. He connected this apparatus up to a galvometer that had the other end of the circuit connected to ground. Immediately the galvometer showed the passage of current!

He then set up an identical outfit on a mountain peak 18 miles away, to send. He would touch this second kites wire to ground and by this action reduced the voltage of the charged stratum and lowered the deflection in the galvometer attached to the other kite at first location we discussed.

There were problems with the communications system sometimes. It seemed that if one of the kites was at the wrong height, the system would not work. This led Loomis to believe that there were different areas in the atmosphere, and depending which area you were in, would control if the communication would work or not.

There were even days when the system just would not work at all. In thinking about that, I suppose it could be due to the electrostatic charge in the atmosphere that existed at that time during the experiment.

Mahlon Seeks the Government’s Help
Senator Charles Sumner, encouraged by a previous government grant to Samuel F.B. Morse, introduced a bill into the Senate on January 13, 1869. The "Loomis Aerial Telegraph Bill" asked for an act of incorporation for the Loomis Aerial Telegraph Company, and for the appropriation of $50,000 to help perfect Loomis’s discovery and make it practical.
Loomis had proposed a system where wireless telegraph messages could be sent across the Atlantic at 1/16 the cost of what it was using a Trans-Atlantic cable.

In an address to Congress, Loomis explained his system worked by: "Causing electrical vibrations or waves to pass around the world, as upon the surface of some quiet lake one wave circlet follows another from the point of the disturbance to the remotest shores, so that from any other mountain top upon the globe another conductor, which shall pierce this plane and receive the impressed vibration, may be connected to an indicator which will mark the length and duration of the vibration; and indicate by any agreed system of notation, convertible into human language, the message of the operator at the point of the first disturbance."

The bill, although gaining the support of a few Congressmen, was thought to be a fraud by many others. It was shuttled from committee to committee with much delay.

On May 20 thru 21, 1872, a lengthy discussion took place in the House. The issue of appropriations had been removed from the bill, and issue of incorporation was all that remained of the Loomis bill.

The newspapers became extremely active on the Loomis issue, unfortunately the majority of them were not favorable to the concept of wireless communication. Their reports ranged from polite skepticism to outright ridicule and allegations of the Loomis method being a fraud!
A copy of the Loomis Bill was also submitted to the committee for patents. On July 30, 1872, Patent number 129,971 was issued to Mahlon Loomis.

A look at Wiki is also useful for some interesting items that relate to the wireless transmission of energy vs information. The flat spiral inductor. A simple device that fasinates me.

So to recap in 1860 Loomis made the discovery that wireless transmission of electrostatic impulses would work over many miles. This is called Single Energy transmission. The Telegraph method of wireless was born. The dielectric field was being manipulated by electrostatic impulses.
Then Edison conceived a Telegraph Magnetic Induction method for trains, that had wires that followed the railroad and inside the train was another magnetic tuned antenna. This worked but was very limited in distance.
Again this is a form of Single Energy transmission. The magnetic field was being manipulated via magnetic impulses which in turn created electric currents in a conductor.

In 1885, Edison developed a wireless induction telegraph system between moving trains and stations, as well as for ship-to-shore use.
http://www.school-for-champions.com/biographies/edison.htm

Or did he, there is a man by the name of Mr Granville Woods who made the Magnetic Inductance method first, but lost in court to Edison....sound familiar? Edison was rich and vindictive and jealous of others like Woods and Tesla.

On November 29, 1887, Woods received a patent for his Induction Telegraph System, also called the Synchronous Multiplex Railway Telegraph. Communication between moving trains and between a moving train and a railroad station had previously been poor. In a telegraph system, a continuous wire must exist between a sending key and a receiving sounder. Ordinary telegraph wires were usually run along railroad tracks, but for a telegraph system to work aboard the train, part of the train had to have been in constant contact with these wires. Because of the jostling movement of trains, most messages sent or received were incomplete. Numerous times, warnings of washed-out bridges, rock slides, and other obstructions failed to reach a train in time. Still other times, trains learned too late--or not at all--of the location of other trains on the same track.
Woods's Induction Telegraph invention changed the course of railway travel, dramatically decreasing the number of lives lost in accidents. To realize his invention, he applied Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction: an oblong coil was suspended beneath a train, and an electrical current was passed through it. In turn, a magnetic field developed around the train. When the train moved, the field moved with it and induced a similar current in the telegraph wires that ran along the tracks, allowing telegraphic messages to be sent and received uninterrupted.
Woods was greatly heralded for this invention, but he received even greater renown when Thomas Edison and another inventor, Lucius Phelps, challenged Woods's rights to the patent, claiming in separate legal suits that they each had developed a similar telegraph system before Woods. In both cases, Woods was declared the prior inventor. Nonetheless, his legal troubles did not end there. In 1892 Woods was sued for criminal libel after he claimed that a manager of the American Engineering Company stole his patent for an electric railway. He was jailed briefly when he could not post money for bail.
His payment of large legal fees, both in the challenge and defense of patent rights, and his loss of income from his inventions left Woods in poverty at the end of his life. As the owner of a small company, he could hardly compete with the larger corporations like those of Edison and Bell. And as a black inventor, Woods could not hope to receive the deserved public recognition his white counterparts did.
All this, however, did little to diminish his intellectual and creative output. Three years after Woods's death, Henry E. Baker, second assistant examiner at the U.S. Patent Office and an African American, wrote a telling epitaph in his book The Colored Inventor: "Mr. Woods is, perhaps, the best known of all the inventors whose achievements [add to] to the credit of our race; and in his passing away he has left us the rich legacy of a life successfully devoted to the cause of progress."

This was the second form of wireless transmission and was implemented for use on trains and ships due to the limited distance and effeciency. It was based on a changing magnetic field, a theory that Faraday discovered.

Electromagnetic induction is the production of voltage across a conductor situated in a changing magnetic field or a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field. Michael Faraday is generally credited with the discovery of the induction phenomenon in 1831.

So far we have proof of two independent forms of wireless transmission of energy.
One is very functional and works with simple copper kites over many miles via Electrostatic Impulse technology the other is functional Magnetic Inductance but is not viable over long distance.
Both worked, both are different. So we have learned that Inductance is a resonant process common to different fields and the effects can be worked with independently. It requires in both of these instances changes in field strength (impulses) to create the wireless inductive field effect

In 1880 Hertz experimented in the UHF and VHF with a half wave closed loop wire with a capacitor in series and found that another half wave loop would recieve the discharges. It was not effective over large distances but it did reveal a closed loop method of wave propagation vs the single wire method of Loomus.

But here the story takes the major turn and the collapse of the miracle, as almost no one understands this information and can demonstrate the method of wireless wave propagation that was discovered by Tesla.

Eric Dollard on Tesla Longitudinal Electricity Wireless Transmission.

Eric Dollard on Tesla Transverse and Longitudinal Wireless Transmission.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-721789270445596549#

This situation changes the commonly taught history of Wireless Communication and Wireless Power Transmission.
The expertise of Tesla was that he understood charge geometry and built up many practical coil designs, the one interesting design is a flat spiral made with copper ribbon, not copper tubing. This Electrostatic design with a spark gap of very high frequency was able to create a series of on/off (Impulse) stresses in the Dielectric Field and took advantage of the incredible charge created with rapid on/off voltage hills and valleys within the spiral design.

This was only part of the circuit design. With just this design he could transmitt wireless communication.
It was from this patent that Marconi stole the idea of Tesla and completed his goal of wireless communication.
He changed the impedance of the circuit, switched out the flat spiral coil design for a flattop anttena and for a while anyway, circumvented the Tesla patent. The Marconi design did transmitt wireless communication with EM waves but also, due to the Tesla Design he stole which included a solid ground, also sent longitudinal waves through the earth, but Marconi himself, never knew that or considered that part of the transmission. It was Eric Dollard that pointed that out about the Marconi towers and their full properties. RCA however did know it.

In 1913 RCA took over wireless regulations and equipment.
They actually shut down the Marconi transmission towers in 1919.
They also had Tesla formulate the system now in use of two flat top antenna in secret for them.
The fact that wireless radio went to Marconi was because Tesla was on to something he had discovered in New York.
He went to Colorado to test his new discovery. His discovery was that he had a longitudinal propagation via the earth with the design Marconi stole. He conceived of a three coil impulse magnifier design, which would make a direct connection to this incredible power...he called it Individualization. He had a AC circuit running over the second spiral coil and with careful experimentation was able to create a 2nd order Fundamental via harmonic resonance b/t the first spiral coil which was fully Electrostatic and the second which was driven with transverse current creating a third propagation phenomenon of Magneto-Dielectric longitudinal waves through the earth.

When he did not ground the device he could transmitt power via a DC Beam Wave from the terminals.
When he made ground (deep ground-massive ground) on the Impulse Magnifier, he sent Magneto-Dielectric longitudinal power via the earth. The Impulse Magnifier worked in two modes.

I suggest that wireless transmission and the history there-of shows several items of interest.

1. The concept of four kinds of Fields of Electric Phenomenon
Electrostatic, Magnetic, EM, Magneto-Dielectric.
2.The concept of four kinds of current
Transverse : AC/DC
Longitudinal : Electrostatic Impulse, Magneto-Dielectric Oscillation

The proof of a Aether seems to be at hand with new Interferometer results.
http://www.thunderbolts.info/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2857
Since the Magneto-Dielectric field, is the proper explanation of the aether, we would expect to consider this as evidence that Dollard's explanation of wireless transmission is valid. Of course this also supports the evidence of quantum constant analysis via Aether Physics Model. The APM model builds the UFT via the constants themself...that in and of its self makes total sense. We ovbiously have a UFT as we live in it....and we have all the measurements...we just need to arrange them via the quantum fundamental building blocks and then the picture comes together proper. With modern SI measurements, joules and kilograms are not fundamental, spin and electron mass, that is fundamental. Its that simple. Take the quantum constants, and with simple algebra the picture comes out as a UFT. Which of course it should and with those simple bragging rights, Tesla and Aether should become understood as valid, important, and not mad ideas.
In the end Tesla observed a lightnting storm and measured Electrostatic Impulse's from that storm.

Over time as the storm moved away the Impulses became lower and lower till they disappeared. Then something magical happened! As the storm still continued to moved east, the ES Impulses returned to a full peak and then returned back to zero....then it did it again, and again, and again, and Tesla realized the Earth was no different then a Hollow Copper Sphere and that Longitudinal waves/Standing waves, were created at fundamental harmonics based on spatial relationships of Electrostatic Impulses of significant strength. All he had to do was put Impulse Magnifiers at specific locations and all the receiving towers at the corresponding Standing Wave locations. One lightning strike will make standing waves across the globe at harmonic nodes based on the original electrostatic impulse location. How freaking mad indeed!

With Eric Dollards information that "conductors" are really electric "reflectors" and that electrons do not move down the middle of a copper wire and that the dielectric field that is not properly taught or even considered anymore, reveals that "insulators" are really the true conductors and the dielectric field is what is missing in electric phenomenon knowledge. With this picture in mind, again everything is 180 degrees opposite of what they teach, it is easy to see why the Earth is a capacitor. If the conductor is really a reflector and the insulator is the conductor, no wonder the fair weather current exists via the fair weather circuit and that millions of volts exists between the ionosphere and the earth. You guys get the mental switch and the ovbious results?

Summary: The focus of this paper is to introduce novel, artificial periodic magneto-dielectric meta-material structures that exhibit new electromagnetic functionality and previously unobtainable figures of merit. The main objectives are to accurately characterize the meta-materials and present the behaviors of electromagnetic waves within such composite structures. The powerful computational techniques based on the anisotropic effective medium theory (AEMT), and finite difference time domain (FDTD) broadband analysis with periodic boundary condition/perfectly matched layer (PBC/PML) are applied to characterize the periodic materials. The obtained results can be integrated into the design of novel materials with potential applications in wireless systems. Some applications of meta-materials in the areas of electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structures and antenna miniaturization are highlighted in this work.

Materials that contain both electric permittivity and magnetic permeability greater than unity (magneto-dielectrics) are currently being investigated for microwave applications. An experimental procedure for fabricating magneto-dielectric composite materials based upon flake-like iron inclusions was developed. Samples consisting of iron flakes oriented within a low loss thermoplastic host were produced by extrusion film forming, to minimize loss and maximize permeability. The electrical and magnetic properties of the magneto-dielectric samples were measured as a function of the fillers aspect ratio, surface characteristics and volume fraction. It was found that forming iron powder into flakes increases the permeability by reducing the demagnetization factor of the shape of the particle. The change to higher aspect ratio filler also increased the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss due to greater instances of inter-particle conduction. Insulating the flakes with a low dielectric greatly significantly mitigated this effect.

Abstract
In this paper, the unique features of periodic magneto-dielectric meta-materials in electromagnetics are addressed. These materials, which are arranged in periodic configurations, are applied for the design of novel EM structures with applications in the VHF-UHF bands. The utility of these materials is demonstrated by considering two challenging problems, namely, design of miniaturized electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structures and antennas in the VHF-UHF bands. A woodpile EBG made up of magneto-dielectric material is proposed. It is shown that the magneto-dielectric woodpile not only exhibits band-gap rejection values much higher than the ordinary dielectric woodpile, but also for the same physical dimensions it shows a rejection band at a much lower frequency. The higher rejection is a result of higher effective impedance contrasts between consecutive layers of the magneto-dielectric woodpile structure. Composite magneto-dielectrics are also shown to provide certain advantages when used as substrates for planar antennas. These substrates are used to miniaturize antennas while maintaining a relatively high bandwidth and efficiency. An artificial anisotropic meta-substrate having μr>εr, made up of layered magneto-dielectric and dielectric materials is designed to maximize the bandwidth of a miniaturized patch antenna. Analytical and numerical approaches, based on the anisotropic effective medium theory (AEMT) and the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique, are applied to carry out the analyzes and fully characterize the performance of finite and infinite periodic magneto-dielectric meta-materials integrated into the EBG and antenna designs.

Abstract
Densely packed arrays of split-ring resonators (SRRs) are used as an artificial magneto-dielectric substrate to reduce the resonant frequency of a /2 patch antenna. The SRR stacks (also called metasolenoids) embedded into dielectric medium constitute an anisotropic magneto-dielectric substrate, thus allowing a considerable reduction of the resonant frequency of the antenna. The effects of the magneto-dielectric substrates on impedance bandwidth are studied numerically and experimentally. We experimentally demonstrate a wider impedance band for an antenna with stacked SRRs embedded in a low-permittivity substrate, as compared with one in a higher-permittivity substrate without SRRs. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

I was reading a 1960 book on electronics, the section on wireless and antenna's.
They had good stuff on Marconi vs Hertz...no Tesla.
However Eric Dollards work, Marconi's version of Tesla' patents, and even the Hertz antenna, left me thinking, about the real truth of wireless transmisson....so I checked youtube and found this video from Meyl on what is taught and what is going on in the space between antennas and why each antenna has noise!
Noise, plasma waves, photons, neutrino radation, all are scalar.
Scalar waves and EM waves, the far field and the near field.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLE2S5oeoEU&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIzmoCii3l8&feature=related

There are even more recent theories about wireless energie transmissions existing nowadays.
There is a german professor Konstintine Meyl, in Europe, promoting his theories about scalar waves.
He even has experimental demonstrations to show us.

and dont forget his theories ofcourse
http://www.meyl.eu/go/index.php?dir=60_Docs&page=1&sublevel=0

his books;

Scalarwavetechnology Documentation for the Demo- and the Experimentation Kit to the transmission of electrical scalar waves

http://www.meyl.eu/go/index.php?dir=30_Books&page=1&sublevel=0

I started my very first thread at the Electric Universe forum on Dec 1-06 with a thread on Meyl and Scalar waves

http://www.thunderbolts.info/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=205&start=0
infact I have quoted many pages of his book on that thread, its a good read.

Interesting enough, in the book I am using from the 1960's for electronics, with better information on transmission then my text books from 1982, they show a capacitor with the same scalar fields being emitted, as Meyl shows being emitted from radio towers and actually my text book uses the capacitor field lines to explain the antenna field lines, so Meyl makes a good point in his video and my book makes it clear that we are back to dielectric fields by using the capacitor anology!

The field lines speak the picture and its not em, its scalar.

The near field effects of a far field scalar are that it breaks down into em.
So using a em reciever, does mean it was sent em...this alone is a simple mystery solved.

Which goes along way in explaining how Tesla was correct that only scalar waves travel the vacuum

Here is Miles Mathis position on the difference or equality of transverse or longitudinal (scalar) EM waves:

Miles Mathis wrote:Some will say that I am assuming a longitudinal wave for light, whereas Fresnel proved that light has a transverse wave. If I am able to multiply my local spin wavelength by c2 to get a visible wavelength, my local wave must be longitudinal. But that is not correct. Since the wave of light belongs to each photon, via spin, the wave is neither longitudinal nor transverse. Longitudinal and transverse waves are defined as field waves, and light is not a field wave. Light is a spin wave, and the spin is neither transverse nor longitudinal. The local wavelength is just a radius of spin. However, since I have shown (in my paper on superposition) that any electromagnetic radiation must have at least two stacked spins to show a physical wave, this stacking can mimic either transverse or longitudinal waves, depending on the experiment and the effect studied. Fresnel was studying polarization, and although Young had already shown both longitudinal characteristics and transverse characteristics, the polarization experiments seemed to confirm only the transverse part of this duality. And, indeed, polarization can be explained with only the transverse characteristics of the stacked wave. Other experiments and effects are better explained as the stacked spins mimicking longitudinal waves. This is what is happening with Tesla or plasma waves which are longitudinal. In plasmas, the spins beneath the outer spin come into play, and the axial spin of the moving electron is no longer hidden. The charge field coheres or links these inner spins, creating uncommon effects. At any rate, wave theory will not advance beyond its current wall unless it comes to see that both transverse and longitudinal waves are a misconception, built upon a mistaken field wave theory that is an analogue of fluid or sound dynamics. Light waves are not field waves, they are spin waves. Light is its own field, since light is both the linear motion and the spin motion of the photon.

Miles Mathis is one of the people I am being tutored by as well as Dave Thomson of the Aether Physics Model

So I take physics to the next level and investigate what they refuse to teach us at school.
The history of wireless transmission and the work by Eric Dollard to keep the truth alive is what this thread is all about. If you love Tesla and wireless, then may this thread open your eyes to the truth of wireless transmission.
