nikola tesla

The Upanishads speak of ' Sarva khaluidam brahama' (Verily all is the Brahman) which means that everything in the universe is composed of infinite particles which are interlinked and are easily convertible into any other form. This truth was known to our ancient Rishis who could control the universal forces sheerly by will power.
In the modern times Tesla was perhaps along with Einstein one of the ancient Rishis. They were quite alike in their thinking and were the least bothered about conventional wisdom. They had fathomed the secrets of the Universe and their belief in a benevolent universal power was unshakeable. They both believed that the Universe had a definite purpose behind it and was not governed by luck or chance.
Tesla was in a class by himself and was an inventor,designer,manufacturer and a desperate gambler-verily a genius. Since he always acted against the conventional thinking of those times he was always opposed by people like Edison and others who believed they had a monopoly of wisdom. If people had supported Tesla the energy problem could have been solved forever.
Tesla believed that all forms of energy solar,wind,hydel and even dust could be easily converted into energy and used for practical purposes. His belief was that Energy should be free and available to all.
In India,particularly in Tamilnadu and Bihar some brilliant engineers are using this principle effectively to provide cheap power to the masses.
In high altitude places with less sunlight, wind power can be easily converted into electrical power. All that is required is a generator. an alternator or a transformer and a battery which can function as an invertor. The conventional design of the vertical blades requires more energy and can
be resolved by keeping the blades parallel to the ground. The details can be worked out by getting the right design and altitude.
If the world is to become self-sufficient in power it has to move to renewable energy.
