Before we get started, I think I should point out the fact,
that unlike many others that write about the work of Nikola Tesla, I actually
know a little something about electricity and how it works, because not only am
I a author and researcher into the mysterious world of the esoteric and its
occult knowledge, but in my day-job, I
am Journeyman Inside Wireman, more commonly known as a Licensed Journeyman
Electrician, with about thirty years’ experience in the electrical trade, with
special training for high voltage. I
have also been a State Electrical Inspector, and a Commercial Electrical
Contractor. So, like I said, I know a little bit about electricity and how it
works. And like many in the electrical field, Nikola Tesla has always been an
interest and little hobby, trying to figure out just what he was doing. Additionally,
although I have tried hard to keep it all in easy to understand terms, it is
recommended that you have at least a basic understanding of electricity and how
it works.
Now, after years of research and reading every single thing
I could get my hands on about Nikola Tesla, I have finally found the key to
understanding exactly what Nikola Tesla was working on. And this key to
understanding what he was doing, is rooted in knowing what job he was
originally hired to do by Thomas Edison. Which was very simply to help solve
the problem of ‘arc-flash’ that Edison had. This was primarily due to the high
DC voltage and current he was using for his electrical system. The main problem
was that a number of people had been injured or killed by this arc-flash. This
problem was so bad that it was in fact threatening the entire idea of being
able to provide electrical power to the public. And again, this was why Thomas
Edison hired Nikola Tesla, to help solve this problem.
