New Technologies for a New Epoch
Pt I: Tesla and Free Energy

It's Not Just Fiction Anymore

By Marc Palmer

Now an archetype of fiction fodder is the brilliant scientist and inventor who
creates several major breakthroughs for nearly limitless yet free energy, but is
silenced by large corporations; the one who develops a weapon of defense that
gets twisted by "the powers that be." Languishing in obscurity, he dies alone
and penniless, his brilliance all but forgotten and his little black book
confiscated by the FBI. The original was Nikola Tesla. Thankfully, his
inventions of nearly a century ago were never fully forgotten, because in
today's high tech world, his ideas are still ahead of their time.

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.
