Stationary Waves

To comprehend the concept of stationary waves within Tesla's Wireless Power Transmission Proposal, we can examine three distinct factors: Power injection into the Earth (A), creation of stationary waves (B), and reception of energy at predetermined "hot spots" (C). Each element influences and is affected by the others, manifesting a chain-linked triadic dynamics.

A. Structural Analysis: The Coexistence Triad elucidates the inherent interconnectivity and mutual presence of the generation of power (A1), its transformation into stationary waves (B1), and the consequent energy reception at specific hotspots on Earth (C1).

A1: Power Generation and Injection: High-frequency alternating currents are pumped into the Earth, inducing specific electrical waves. The features of these electric currents and the Earth's properties may affect the formation of stationary waves, and therefore, the efficiency of energy reception.

B1: Stationary Wave Formation: By pumping alternating currents into the Earth at its resonant frequency, stationary waves are created that envelop the Earth's surface. Variations in the stationary wave attributes can directly modify the resulting hotspots for potential power extraction.

C1: Energy reception at hotspots: The stationary waves manifest hotspots where the energy can be optimally received when power receivers are placed correctly. Changes in these hotspots—caused by fluctuations in the incoming electric currents or stationary wave forms—affect overall power reception.

B. Functional Analysis: Via the Stabilization Triad, one observes how the active push-pull of electromagnetic energy into the Earth (A2) leads to a resonating electric pulse or standing wave (B2), culminating in focused energy hotspots (C2).

A2: Push-Pull Energy Mechanism: This involves injecting electric oscillations into the Earth and directing them in a rhythmic way, much like the push-and-pull on a swing. Stoppages or disruptions at this stage can significantly affect the later stages of standing wave formation and energy reception.

B2: Resonating Electric Pulse or Standing Wave: Maintaining this resonance within the Earth's body requires a meticulously calibrated system. Fluctuations in system variables can severely disrupt the standing wave formation.

C2: Focused Energy Hotspots: The culmination of the push-pull energy mechanism and standing wave formation results in concentrated energy hotspots. Any alteration at this stage, such as changes in receiver placement or local ground conditions, could drastically impact the energy reception.

C. Potential Analysis: By employing the Nonlinear Triad, one can recognize how alterations in the push-pull energy mechanism (A3), the resonant electricity pulse or standing wave (B3), or the focused energy hotspots (C3) could potentially affect each other in a non-linear manner.

A3: Alterations in the push-pull energy mechanism: Changes in the system input or the initial push-pull of electrical energy into the Earth could potentially yield unpredictable outcomes in subsequent stages. This is due to the complex dynamics that govern standing wave formation and the resulting energy hotspot distribution.

B3: Modification in the resonating electric pulse or standing wave: Variations in the standing wave characteristics could lead to unanticipated changes in the energy hotspots, altering their intensity and location unpredictably due to the intricate interplay of variables.

C3: Changes in focused energy hotspots: Lastly, even if the push-pull mechanism and standing wave formation stages are controlled precisely, changes in the focused energy hotspots might not linearly affect overall power reception. Factors such as ground material, receiver placement, and local atmospheric conditions aren't straightforwardly related to other processes, adding further complexity to the overall system.
