This card pertains to a resource available on the internet.

• Tesla was the 'culmination' of many electrical engineers work.
• Galvani experimented with supplying charge to the nerves of dead animals, making their limbs move.
• An "atmosphere" around all metals.
• The atmosphere between a shiny plate of copper and zinc creates an electrical atmosphere.
• Electrolyte: a fluid which is corosive, creating an electrical condition from the atmosphere of two metals.
• Volta created a stack of electrolytes and metals for a "chemical cell."
• Faraday found his compasses would move when drawing sparks from Volta cells.
• Faraday thought there was an invisible membrane conveying motion to allow "action at a distance."
• A copper wire coiled against itself gives increasing amperage and stronger magnetic fields.
• "Boundary condition," where electrical effects refuse to manifest without a path from positive to negative, ex. a circuit.
• Earth grounded telegraphs; Stillman grounded telegraphs through the earth and energy began to appear at distant outposts.
• Teletypes started to activate on their own when earth was hit by solar flares.
• Maxwell used calculus to find a way to study change in electricity.
• Formulas for electrical engineering was present in music, Bach.
• " Force" of electricity always amounts to 1/c^2
• Magnetic energy travels at the speed of light
• Dielectric energy travels at ??? speed
• Telegraph equation by Oliver Heaviside (LC-RG)*sqrt(1)+(RC+LG)*sqrt(-1)
• Heaviside used iron wire and magnetic tapes to counteract the magnetic forces being lost faster than the electrical forces in the insulation.
• Steinmetz was hired by GM to work out the math to Tesla systems so they could defeat Tesla's patents.
• Tesla moved on to impulse electricity after working out AC.
• Steinmetz created symbolic algebra to explain Heaviside math without calculus.
• Alexanderson's radio experiments suggested electriity moving through a point to point tunnel; or being in the same point despite distance.
• DC has no frequency.
• Alternating current has a constant, fixed frequency. known as "cycles per second."
• Impulse train energy dies instead at an exponential decay, known as "decibels per second."
• Unipolar circuit explained with "counter-space."
• Electricity is made of lines of force, so the keys to induction over time are in integral multiples of a Planck constant.
• Conjugate relationship: one is the denial of the other.
• Electrostatic forces pull wires together to increase their ability to store energy, while magnetic forces push wires apart to become larger to store energy.
• Electromagnetic boundaries use reflection; insulators absorb light and conductors are shiny.
• Creating fusion stars in a bottle.
• 1919, Navy formed RCA to shut down radios across the nation.
• Tesla turbines have been used for clog-free liquid pumps.
• Tesla turbines are meant for high cycle devices and don't work well for 60hz A/C.
• Tom Bearden's soviet scalar weapons might be a disinfo to waste tesla society's time.
• A circuit consisting of an inductor and a capacitor will trap energy in oscillation until something takes it away.
• Resonance: when the frequency of a coil matches the inductance. When energy of the magnetic field matches the electrostatic field, the coil becomes a mono-polar transmitter.
