The history of tachyon research and Nikola Tesla

Picture the year 1931, somewhere near the city of Buffalo, a short drive from Niagara Falls. A heavy Pierce Arrow rolls along the road, the kind of luxury car only the wealthy could afford at the time. There is no roar from the engine and no trail of smoke behind it. At the wheel sits an elderly gentleman, a famous inventor, and next to him his nephew. This is how one of the best-loved stories in the tachyon literature begins.

According to these books, the modern rediscovery of tachyon energy is tied to the name of a revolutionary inventor, Nikola Tesla, who lived from 1856 to 1943. The authors say Tesla spent years working out how to put tachyon energy to good use as an alternative to the alternating current generators he had invented himself. He and his patron, George Westinghouse, did not see eye to eye, though. Westinghouse was worried about losing money and cut back his support, so Tesla decided to go his own way.

Tesla and the car that ran without petrol

Andreas Jell, and Wagner with Cousens, describe how in 1931 Tesla and his nephew Peter Savo carried out detailed, well-documented and successful trials of a machine that drove a car with no visible source of energy. For the trials he is said to have chosen a Pierce Arrow, a heavy luxury car of the day. Instead of the petrol engine it had quite different parts, and only the clutch, the gearbox and the drive belt were left. Under the bonnet sat an electric motor without a commutator, which was either connected to the original engine or replaced it outright. Tesla, the story goes, never revealed who built it.

In the dashboard, so the account runs, there was a kind of "receiver of electrical energy", a box with twelve valves. A vertical aerial 183 centimetres tall was fixed to it. So that the car could take in energy, Tesla placed one of his powerful oscillators near Niagara Falls and fed the car wirelessly, much as a radio today picks up the signal from a transmitter it has never seen. According to Wagner, the car reached 130 kilometres an hour, an enormous speed for its time.

This invention was not allowed to go any further either. A few months after the trial the Pierce Arrow company went bankrupt. The tachyon literature says that, once again, the people behind this were probably those who feared for their profits from fossil fuels. The authors regard Tesla's energy converter as the first tachyon invention of the modern age. If you would like to know what the word tachyon means in physics, have a look at the article on the physics of tachyons.

Henry Moray of Salt Lake City

Another pioneer of free energy, according to these sources, was T. Henry Moray from Salt Lake City. He is said to have built a converter for energy faster than light that weighed only 28 kilograms yet had an output of 50 kilowatts. To give you a sense of scale, that is more than several households use at once.

Moray tried to patent his invention. The patent office, so the story goes, confirmed that the machine worked and produced energy with no visible source, but because that source could not be seen, it turned the patent down. Until his death in 1974 he shared what he knew with a small circle of scientists, even though, as the account has it, he was under constant threat of death.

Technology and the maturity of humankind

In Wagner's view, both Tesla and Moray wanted to solve the great economic and social problems of the world. Those problems came from the way humankind obtains its energy, and they could have been solved in a better way. Even though, according to the authors, such technologies already exist today, we can ask whether humanity is mature enough to use them wisely.

Technology is only one part of the answer. Wagner and Cousens write that to bring the planet some relief, the world needs a change of consciousness towards harmony with the whole and towards compassion. Only then can alternative technologies serve people the way they should.

Where tachyons stand today

In his handbook, Jell also mentions the German physician Hans Nieper from Hanover, who worked on metabolism, the balance of minerals in the body and ageing. As early as 1953, Nieper put forward the idea that there is an energy faster than light. According to Jell, his view was later backed by a number of NASA measurements. In his book Revolution in Technology, Medicine and Society, Nieper writes that the existence of tachyon energy has been proven beyond doubt since 1975 and that this energy will change the whole world at its roots.

Today, the tachyon literature says, the question is no longer whether tachyon energy exists. As an example the authors point to the official ATTI patent, which we cover in more detail in the article ATTI and David Wagner. The question is rather how best to use it for people's benefit. One of those who set off in that direction is Professor David Wagner. He built on Tesla's experiments and, among other things, came up with the tachyon chamber. His story, and how the first tachyonized disk came about, is told in the article Tachyon energy.

Despite all the obstacles, the age of tachyons is a reality today. Wagner credits it to the many scientists who laid the foundations for the way tachyon energy is used in science and in looking after ourselves. You can browse the products that grew out of his work in the product overview.
