13-page slide deck, the earlier version of the H2O deck. Same core slides: sound-speed table (air 343, water 1480, glass 5300 m/s, 'ether' = c), 'working principles' (water carries only longitudinal waves and stops ordinary radio), Maxwell's equations 'reduced to two' by quaternions and a scalar field Sigma, a test slide saying E is not zero and B = 0, neon tubes lit through water, an 'electric pendulum', and a power set-up with a motor and ground plate. The generator is called XMTR/RCVR here; the December deck renames it 'special HV source' and adds the 'Xenon G-02' name, photographs, the Sun potential and the hydrodynamics-electromagnetics analogy. The deep read of the December deck found no new measured data between the two. Bibliography [1]-[5] (Tesla 1893 lecture, Arbab and Satti 2009, Handwerker 2011, Mendeleev ether essay, Tesla 1929 interview). A disclaimer says the devices 'won't work by usual technology' and need a special high-tech generator.

Key claims

• Water 'antennas' (glass vessels of water) wired to a special high-voltage generator transmit energy by longitudinal (L.M.D.) waves to a second water antenna that powers neon tubes or a DC motor through a single wire.
• In the field around the water antennas the electric field E is present and the magnetic field B is absent (compass stands still; photomultiplier and iron-cored coil respond).
• Fluids carry only longitudinal waves and water stops ordinary radio waves, so the electrical effect must be a longitudinal wave.

Relevance: Earlier, shorter presentation of the water-antenna claim; shows the claim as first put forward (Aug 2011) and which parts were added in December.

Mainstream conflict: Claims a longitudinal electromagnetic wave carrying power with B = 0, which standard Maxwell theory does not allow in free space; no measured values are given on the slides. The seismic/sound analogy mixes mechanical waves with electromagnetic ones.

18-slide deck. A glass vessel of water wired by one wire to a 'peculiar' high-voltage source (named 'Xenon G-02 prototype' on p.13, no specification) is said to radiate L.M.D. waves through the surrounding medium; a second water vessel wired to a neon tube, lamp or DC motor receives the energy. Support offered: a sound-speed table with 'ether = c' (p.7), two wave equations for E and B and a scalar field Sigma (p.9; correct as ordinary consequences of Maxwell's equations, the quaternion step is not shown), photographs of instruments labelled 'E not equal 0, B = 0' with 'quantitative measures (mV, mA)' but no readings (p.10), sketches and one photograph of lit tubes/vessels (p.11-15), a power set-up schematic with motor and GND plate (p.14), a hydrodynamics-electromagnetics analogy 'e.m.f. to h.m.f.' with no equation (p.15), and the Sun's potential 'approx. 215 GV' from Tesla 1935 (p.16). No voltage, current, frequency, distance, power, brightness measure, repeat count or control appears on p.7-16; the only numbers are standard sound speeds, photomultiplier type 931-A, coil L = 10 mH and 215 GV. p.3 rejects relativity (Tesla 1935 quotation, superluminal neutrinos). The deck is the inventor's own presentation with a commercial stake in the product name DELTA Ingegneria; a disclaimer says the devices need a special HV source. Refs [6] (Handwerker, hydrodynamics-electromagnetics analogy, Mar 2011) and the YouTube video 'Wireless by water antennae-electric pendulum' are cited but not in the folder.

Key claims

• A glass vessel of water connected by one wire to a special high-voltage generator radiates longitudinal (L.M.D.) waves through the surrounding medium and lights a neon tube or runs a DC motor connected to a second water vessel.
• A neon tube is lit 'to its full brightness' by a water-filled vessel energised from the generator (p.11-13), with no stated voltage, distance or control.
• At the test points the dielectric field E is present and the magnetic field B is absent (p.10; compass stands still).
• Water carries only longitudinal waves and blocks ordinary radio, so the transfer must be by longitudinal waves (p.8).
• Energy is exchanged between electromotive force and 'hydromotive force' in an extended hydrodynamics-electromagnetics analogy (p.15).
• The Sun's electric potential is about 215 GV (p.16, from Tesla 1935).

Relevance: The most direct statement of the water-antenna device claim and its only demonstrations; shows what is claimed and that the deck contains no measured data.

Mainstream conflict: Asserts power transfer by longitudinal electromagnetic waves with B = 0 through water; mainstream theory has no free-space longitudinal EM wave and water is conductive and absorbs RF strongly. The chain from seismic P-waves to an electrical wave in water has no intermediate step. The 'ether = c' sound-speed row is an identification, not a measurement.

Five-page compilation with a short Handwerker preamble (Tesla 'ignored by textbooks', 'more than 700 patents, of which only about 100 are accessible') and six newspaper excerpts: Brooklyn Eagle 10 Jul 1932 (cosmic rays drive a motor via ionised air, condenser and motor circuit; particles 'neutrons', faster than light; power through the earth), Philadelphia Public Ledger 2 Nov 1933 (power from cosmic energy, 'Calls Sun Main Source'), New York Times 8 Apr 1934 (light is 'a longitudinal disturbance in the ether', 'a sound wave in the ether'; radio likewise), New York World-Telegram 11 Jul 1935 (cosmic rays discovered 1896, 50 times and 500 times faster than light), New York American 11 Jul 1935 (relativity 'a mass of error', 50 c from 'Antarus', Sun at about 215 billion volts), New York Herald Tribune 18 Aug 1935 (Sun at constant positive potential of about 216 billion volts, particles above 50 c, radioactivity as bombardment). Quotations mix Tesla's words with reporters' paraphrase; page numbers are given for one article only. The deep read notes inconsistencies Handwerker does not comment on (neutral 'neutrons' in 1932 versus positive particles in 1935; 215 versus 216 GV; 50 c versus 500 c; the NYT quote calls radio 'not transversal but longitudinal' after saying light is longitudinal). Only mechanism offered anywhere: ionisation, charge collected in a condenser, discharge through a motor. No data, apparatus description or mathematics. Newspaper-reported statements by Tesla are evidence of what he said publicly, not of any experiment.

Key claims

• Tesla said light and radio waves are longitudinal disturbances ('sound waves') in the ether (NYT 1934).
• Tesla said cosmic rays are particles moving faster than light, many at about 50 times c, some reported at 500 times c (1932, 1935).
• Tesla said the Sun carries a constant positive potential of about 215-216 billion volts, which is the origin of cosmic rays (1935).
• Tesla said he harnessed cosmic rays to run a motor via ionised air, a condenser and a motor circuit (Brooklyn Eagle 1932).
• Tesla called relativity 'a mass of error and deceptive ideas wrapped in a magnificent mathematical cloak' (1935).
• Tesla said a radioactive body is a target bombarded by cosmic particles from all parts of the universe (Herald Tribune 1935).
• Tesla said he discovered cosmic rays in 1896 (three 1935 articles); mainstream credit goes to Victor Hess's 1912 balloon flights.
• Tesla said that if cosmic radiation 'could be wholly intercepted, radioactivity would cease' (Herald Tribune 1935); decay rates are unchanged underground and under heavy shielding.
• Handwerker's preamble says Tesla 'issued more than 700 patents, of which only about 100 are accessible' (unsourced; the usual count is about 300 patents in some 26 countries, about 112 of them US).

Relevance: Source of the Tesla statements Handwerker's decks rely on: 'electric sound waves in the ether', Sun potential 215 GV, rejection of relativity, 'cold electricity'. Shows how he reads Tesla as authority.

Mainstream conflict: Superluminal particles contradict special relativity and all cosmic-ray measurements (mainly protons and nuclei below c); light and radio are transverse waves in vacuum; the Sun's potential of hundreds of GV is not supported by measurement. These are Tesla's statements as reported, presented without comment by the compiler. Tesla's 1896 cosmic-ray priority is his own claim, beside Hess 1912 [memory, high]. The radioactivity-as-bombardment statement is testable: measured decay rates do not change in deep underground laboratories or under heavy shielding [memory, high; web check pending in the arbiter's QE revision]. The 700-patent count is Handwerker's, unsourced; usual count about 300 patents in about 26 countries [memory, medium]. In 1932 Tesla used the word 'neutrons' for particles carrying 'so small a charge'; Chadwick announced the neutron in February 1932 [memory, high].

Part of the bundle TESLA-THEORY-2.pdf (208 pages, 40 OCR pages), a compilation of 14 separate items assembled by someone other than Handwerker (assembler not identified in the file). Only pp.5-23 are Handwerker's. Tesla's account of the Magnifying Transmitter: boyhood snowball avalanche as a model for magnifying feeble actions; his November 1890 and 1892 London (IEE, Royal Institution) lectures; 'Nature's Trigger' lightning idea; about 1,000,000 V in 1893; laboratory fire of 1895; resonant transformer with large-radius surfaces so surface charge density stays low; printed claims: up to 100,000,000 V 'perfectly practicable', antenna currents of thousands of amperes; Long Island tower 187 ft with 68 ft terminal, 200-300 kW initially; twelve intended applications of the World System; J. P. Morgan's support; critics called 'microbes of a nasty disease'. Editor: the tower was not built to radiate Hertzian waves but to send power through the earth.

Key claims

• Tesla's Magnifying Transmitter can raise potentials to about 100,000,000 V with antenna currents of thousands of amperes.
• The Long Island tower was designed to send power through the earth, not to radiate Hertzian waves.

Relevance: Primary Tesla text on the apparatus Handwerker's work builds on (a Tesla coil as energy transmitter).

Mainstream conflict: Claims of world-wide wireless power through the earth were not realised; the figures are Tesla's own projections.

The inventor's central paper (19 pages, self-published by his company, no peer-reviewed venue). Abstract: a Tesla coil is treated by 'the Academic World' as a mere transformer, but emits longitudinal dielectric waves, supported by a quaternionic reading of Maxwell and by experiment. Theory (p.7-11): argues that Heaviside and Gibbs's vector notation made Maxwell's equations 'partially incomplete'; quotes Arbab and Satti (2009) for a quaternion potential; gives wave equations (1)-(2) for E and B (correct, but they are consequences of Maxwell's four equations and weaker than them: they allow a longitudinal wave in vacuum that Gauss's law forbids); introduces a scalar field Sigma with J = grad Sigma and a 'new gauge transformation' (3)-(4), 'noted' wave equation (5) and induced charge and current (6)-(7) (the deep read shows (5) is an identity once (6)-(7) are assumed, so the reasoning is circular; the transformation changes sources, not potentials; E = grad phi has the wrong sign and drops dA/dt; the symbol list has unit errors: phi in V/m2, A in A/m2, B in A/m); objects that 'displacement current' theory does not explain how electrons 'pass' a dielectric (standard theory does not say they do; his own Ampere law on p.7 contains the displacement term); defines T.E.M. and L.M.D. fields by a picture (Fig.6) only. Experiments (p.12-20): 'Extra Tesla Coil' transmitter (250 mm high, argon-bulb top load, driver not described), resonance 2.755 MHz and 1.810 MHz (ratio 1.522, called about pi/2), wavelength printed 113.64 m (should be 108.8 m). Tests: hand-held neon tube lights without wires; compass stands still while moving near a transformer; LED loop; tilting a loop antenna with rectifier and DC motor does not change the result; ferrite-core probe 10 mH versus 6 mH 'no difference'; unpowered 931-A photomultiplier on one wire; Fig.3 plots 'normalised' current against distance, falling roughly inverse-square from about 0.04 m to 2 m (digitised exponent about -1.7); Fig.9 brass plate (120 x 130 mm) rotated, current from about 25-30 mA edge-on to about 110 mA face-on (above the stated 0-100 mA scale), fitted by an inverted cosine; sparks from a charged plate; capacitor plates 40 x 40 mm read by an impedance meter at 1 mm and over 1 m ('C = 0,040 mH' and '0,012 mH', unit error); streams and coupling between two coils joined by one wire. A power estimate (p.16-17) uses dR = dx/dS (missing resistivity), integrates power over length to get 'energy', turns cos2 into cos, and predicts maximum at the angle where Fig.9 shows the minimum. Conclusion (p.20-21): 'a number of anomalous EM phenomena did occur', ascribed to L.M.D. waves; the Academic World must prove its position; the Sigma wave 'does no work to move free charges' and has no magnetic component, which conflicts with the same field lighting tubes and driving a motor. All tests are at 0-2.5 m, at x/(lambda/2pi) of at most 0.15, deep in the near field. No raw data, input power, error bars, repeats, shield control or dated test record; the Arbab-Satti 'appendix' and reference [12] are missing from the file. Attributed work cited: Tesla patents 649,621 (1900) and 685,957 (1901), Steinmetz 1914, Elihu Thomson 1872, Ignatiev and Leus 1990, Handwerker's 1990 quaternion rotation course work and 2010 YouTube videos. QE deep read of pp.12-13 (spherical top load): the central physical mechanism for L.M.D. emission is one sentence ('a spherical antenna is present which cannot emit transverse waves because of its form which mathematically annuls the opposing components of the EM transverse waves, therefore only allowing the emission of longitudinal MD waves', p.13) with no equation, symmetry argument or reference; it is tied to Fig.6 only by assigning the sphere to the L.M.D. row and the solenoid coils to the T.E.M. row. No test removes or replaces the sphere or shields the coil, and the ground state of the transmitter during the near-field tests is not stated. The deep read also notes that a hand near the transmitter bulb strengthens the receiver bulb's streams (p.19), which Handwerker presents as 'true conduction' coupling. Fairness note on the sign error: the Investigator's saved copy of his 2010 'Tesla and cold electricity' deck (29 pp, research/files; not a manifest document) gives E = -grad phi - dA/dt correctly on p.26 [read: QE extraction], so E = grad phi in the 2011 paper is a later slip; the same deck (p.24) argues for the vector notation by comparing quaternions q1 = a+bi+cj+dk and q2 = a-bi-cj-dk (sum 2a, a non-zero scalar) with vectors v1 and -v1 (sum 0), a comparison that is not like with like because the vectors were given no scalar part (QE M6); p.2 describes himself as 'a consulting professional in advanced electrotechnics, thermodynamics & energetics, also technical advisor to italian Judges' (his own description) and p.5 says experiments used 'low-budget equipment ... partially using scrap parts'. The paper's reference [2] is Arbab and Satti, Progress in Physics vol.2 (April 2009), Khartoum and Omdurman Ahlia universities [QE/arbiter correction 8; not in the folder]. A pocket AM/FM radio is said to pick up a signal out to about the Fig.3 range (p.15; 2.755 MHz lies above the AM band, so what it heard is unknown).

Key claims

• The Tesla coil emits longitudinal dielectric (L.M.D.) waves in addition to transverse (T.E.M.) waves, and these carry power.
• Handwerker reads Maxwell's equations in Heaviside-Gibbs vector form as partially incomplete; the original quaternionic form (with a scalar field Sigma) is said to predict scalar dielectric fields and longitudinal waves. (His source, Arbab and Satti 2009, says Maxwell's equations are 'still exact'; 'incomplete' and 'dielectric' are Handwerker's words.)
• Handwerker asserts the field around a Tesla coil is dielectric (electric) and not magnetic: a compass is said to stay still and a ferrite-core probe to show no change with the core removed (asserted, not shown: a compass cannot respond at 2.755 MHz, and the ferrite result is one reading, no data).
• A loop antenna tilted from vertical to horizontal still drives a DC motor, so T.E.M. waves are not what delivers the power.
• Current to a rotated brass plate varies with a cosine of the angle (minimum edge-on, maximum face-on), showing the L.M.D. radial field Er rather than the vertical T.E.M. field Et.
• Measured field falls with distance roughly as an inverse square (Fig.3; digitised exponent about -1.7), which Handwerker takes to fit waves; for a near field amplitude falls as about 1/x^2 to 1/x^3, so the fall-off does not discriminate.
• Capacitor plates more than 1 m apart still read a capacitance (printed as 'C = 0,040 mH' and '0,012 mH', i.e. in mH, a unit error), so the dielectric field fills the surrounding space and 'displacement current' is a weak explanation.
• The Tesla coil's main resonance is 2.755 MHz with a second frequency 1.810 MHz; the printed ratio 'fo/f = 1,527' is 1.522 on his own numbers, and he calls it about pi/2 (the printed lambda0 = 113.64 m corresponds to 2.638 MHz, not 2.755 MHz).
• The scalar Sigma wave carries energy without converting it to work and has no magnetic component; its unit, inherited from Arbab and Satti, is printed as that of magnetic field intensity (from J = grad Sigma it is A/m).
• The Tesla coil's spherical top load 'cannot emit transverse waves because of its form which mathematically annuls the opposing components of the EM transverse waves, therefore only allowing the emission of longitudinal MD waves' (p.12-13); the paper gives no equation, citation or experiment for this, and the sphere is elsewhere called an antenna only 'together with the secondary'.

Relevance: The core document of the project: the inventor's theory, equations and every experiment he cites. The decks (water antenna) and the Tesla compilation refer back to it as ref. [3].

Mainstream conflict: Claims a free-space longitudinal electromagnetic wave and a re-reading of Maxwell that adds a scalar mode; standard theory has neither (Gauss's law forbids a longitudinal vacuum E wave, notation changes cannot add solutions). The deep read finds the experiments consistent with the ordinary quasi-static near field of a Tesla coil. Also disputes the textbook account of displacement current. Spherical top load: by Gauss's law and charge conservation a spherically symmetric source radiates nothing (no monopole radiation), so 'cannot emit transverse, therefore emits longitudinal' does not follow; a coil-fed sphere over ground is an oscillating dipole with the ordinary radial near field and a transverse far field [memory, high].

Part of the bundle TESLA-THEORY-2.pdf (208 pages, 40 OCR pages), a compilation of 14 separate items assembled by someone other than Handwerker (assembler not identified in the file). Only pp.5-23 are Handwerker's. Excerpt, section IV 'Apparatus for Transformation by Condenser Discharges; Damped Waves'. Tesla says his work began in 1889, claims the Tesla coil principle as his, says others built on it, describes spark gaps, quenched gaps, oil-immersed and mechanical interrupters (US 462,418; 514,168; 645,576; 568,179/180), rates of 5,000-18,000 breaks per second, a four-phase machine (1895-96), Houston Street and South Fifth Avenue laboratories, the 1895 fire, receivers, a 'magnifying transmitter' first step shown in 1894, claims of 2,000-5,000 kW of activity from a 1 kW generator with damped waves, and that radiated energy and earth current can be divided (90 percent/10 percent) by design; cites Sommerfeld as supporting his theory. Deep read (pp.24-52): Tesla's split is between radiated electromagnetic waves ('absolutely wasted') and energy stored in an 'elastic system' and carried by earth current, not between transverse and longitudinal waves; he says radiation depends on the square root of capacity over self-induction, so he chose a large self-induction and low frequency; he cites Sommerfeld (Ann. Phys. 28, 1909, pp.665-736) as confirming him. The pages never use the words 'longitudinal', 'scalar', 'dielectric wave' or 'ether'. Peak powers of '18 million horsepower activities' are dumped-capacitor pulses, and Tesla himself says he did not use that method when transmitting energy. The testimony was given by a party with a priority stake (against Marconi and others); the excerpt gives no date, court or case name and the 90/10 and 95/5 figures are single-source, unmeasured.

Key claims

• Tesla claimed priority for the oscillating-circuit and Tesla-coil apparatus used in wireless telegraphy.
• Tesla stated the antenna of his system must be run for earth current, not radiation, and that the split between radiated waves and earth current can be chosen by design.
• Tesla claimed a damped wave gives 2,000-5,000 kW of activity from a 1 kW generator.
• Tesla testified: 'I am not producing radiation with my system; I am suppressing electromagnetic waves ... It is not radiated; it is conserved', and that he could get 90 percent of the energy as earth current and 10 percent as electromagnetic waves, or the reverse (also 95/5); no measurement is given.
• Tesla called his 1890s room-filling lamp and motor demonstrations (3/4 horsepower from a tuned coil) 'a transmission by electromagnetic waves' and a system based on them 'absolutely worthless'.

Relevance: Tesla's own account of the apparatus and earth-conduction idea behind Handwerker's reading of Tesla's system.

Mainstream conflict: The 2,000-5,000 times energy claim violates energy conservation unless it describes stored or reactive power; the other statements are historical and engineering claims by an interested party (a litigant claiming priority).

Part of the bundle TESLA-THEORY-2.pdf (208 pages, 40 OCR pages), a compilation of 14 separate items assembled by someone other than Handwerker (assembler not identified in the file). Only pp.5-23 are Handwerker's. Compares a Marconi/Hertz aerial and a Tesla magnifying transmitter at about 136 kHz (both use a four-tuned-circuit arrangement; the difference is the launching structure). Tesla structure: a 90 ft resonator whose reactive (stored) component is greatly increased and radiation minimised; US patent 1,119,732; Wardenclyffe tower. Concludes identical oscillators can produce either space waves or ground currents with 'trapped surface-waves possibly similar to the Zenneck surface wave'. Quotes Tesla (90 percent waves / 10 percent current, or the reverse). Reference list. Deep read: the description of reactive near field plus radiated field is standard antenna physics. In standard theory the Zenneck surface wave is a transverse-magnetic wave bound to a conducting ground, with an E component along its travel direction and a magnetic field, so it is a different object from Handwerker's free-air L.M.D. wave with 'no magnetic component' [memory, medium; to be web-checked by a reviewer].

Key claims

• Marconi and Tesla systems use the same four-tuned-circuit arrangement; the structure that launches the energy decides whether it radiates or travels as ground current.
• A Tesla-type structure minimises radiation and maximises stored (reactive) energy.
• Peterson (an advocate of the Tesla system, stake not stated): the Tesla launching structure 'is specifically designed to have a poor impedance match with free space ... inhibits the launching of electromagnetic space waves', with a 90 ft resonator at 136 kHz being about 5 percent of a quarter wavelength (7,235 ft wavelength; arithmetic checked).
• Peterson names two propagation forms, radiated space waves and ground currents with 'trapped surface-waves possibly similar to the Zenneck surface wave'; he does not name a longitudinal wave.

Relevance: A mainstream-flavoured engineering description of Tesla's system, including its large reactive field, which is the near-field mechanism relevant to Handwerker's measurements. Bears on claim 1: Tesla's and Peterson's own 'stored, not radiated' language fits the near-field reading and Handwerker's 'not T.E.M.' intuition, but names no longitudinal wave.

Mainstream conflict: Mostly consistent with accepted engineering (reactive near field, Zenneck surface wave).

Part of the bundle TESLA-THEORY-2.pdf (208 pages, 40 OCR pages), a compilation of 14 separate items assembled by someone other than Handwerker (assembler not identified in the file). Only pp.5-23 are Handwerker's. Popular book excerpt: disk-turbine engine, spark-gap oscillator, Tesla coil (secondary 'like a guitar string', harmlessness at high frequency attributed to the nervous system's frequency response), magnifying transmitter and wireless power (patents 1,119,732, 593,138, 645,576), Colorado Springs (earth resonance quoted as 150 kc and lower, lightning bolts of 135 ft), Wardenclyffe (187 ft tower) and J. P. Morgan withdrawing support, 'Tesla vs Hertz' (Tesla held radio disturbances are standing waves in the ether like sound; Trinkaus says the Supreme Court recognised Tesla's priority after his death, no citation), grounded and underground radio, lighting, transport (flying machine, anti-gravity, Bearden's scalar waves), and a 'free-energy receiver' (patent 685,957 of 1901 for utilising radiant energy, said never to have been verified) with Plauson's converter and Tesla's 1933 'power everywhere present in unlimited quantities'. Author states he has no special direct knowledge of Tesla and distils the literature; political claims about utilities and Morgan are the author's.

Key claims

• Tesla held that radio disturbances are standing waves (longitudinal, like sound) in the ether, unlike Hertz's transverse waves.
• Tesla's patent 685,957 (1901) describes collecting energy from the Sun or cosmic rays with an elevated plate and a capacitor; the author knows of no attempt to verify it.
• J. P. Morgan's withdrawal of funding ended Tesla's World System.

Relevance: Shows the Tesla-lore context (Tesla vs Hertz, plate receiver of patent 685,957) from which Handwerker's plate and 'insulated metal plate' experiments draw.

Mainstream conflict: Free-energy and anti-gravity statements conflict with energy conservation and general relativity; popular, non-peer-reviewed secondary account.

Part of the bundle TESLA-THEORY-2.pdf (208 pages, 40 OCR pages), a compilation of 14 separate items assembled by someone other than Handwerker (assembler not identified in the file). Only pp.5-23 are Handwerker's. Peer-reviewed-venue paper: models a Tesla coil secondary as a transmission line with a distributed voltage source, shows a magnifying effect from standing waves, a minimum of a reflection-coefficient condition, a magnification ratio M about 1/(alpha l) for a low-loss quarter-wave line, and a transmission-line representation of Tesla's current-through-earth wave (earth characteristic impedance 58.3 ohm; below about 6 Hz the Earth acts as a capacitance). Notes science considers Tesla's wave theory fallacious but that conclusions rest on measurements; Tesla's Long Island transmitter was never completed or operated. Deep read: the paper (a conference paper selected for a journal, Split, 2006) states 'c.pi/2' without derivation and does not quote 471,240 km/s or any speed in km/s; the deep reader derived it from a plane wavefront moving at c along the axis and cutting the sphere (a geometric, phase-like speed carrying no energy faster than c) and found equations (5)-(6) carry a probable sign slip. Earth line impedance 58.3 ohm is cited from Marincic 1986; the Tesla condition f = c/(4D) is 5.88 Hz. The authors write that 'science considers this theory as fallacious' (ref. Nicholson 2002) and prefer Schumann-cavity coupling. The pi/2 here is unrelated in mechanism to Handwerker's frequency ratio (k = 0.397 analysis) and to Dollard's rumoured longitudinal speed; the shared number is a reader's inference, not stated by any of the papers.

Key claims

• A Tesla coil secondary behaves as a transmission line with standing waves, which explains its voltage magnification.
• Tesla's earth-current propagation can be represented by a transmission-line model of the Earth.
• Tesla's surface wave speed is v = c / sin(phi), phi measured from the transmitter-antipode axis, so the 'mean surface wave velocity is c pi/2' (time-weighted pole-to-equator mean, about 471,239 km/s with c = 300,000 km/s).

Relevance: A mainstream engineering model of Tesla-coil behaviour (standing waves, reactive fields) that can be set against Handwerker's L.M.D. reading of the same device.

Mainstream conflict: None with accepted theory as described; the paper itself notes the mainstream view that Tesla's wireless-power theory is wrong.

Only pp.5-23 are Handwerker's. Review: Tesla's patents and notes less known and often wrongly interpreted; the authors say Tesla's wireless-energy theory proved wrong but his apparatus and operating frequencies were sound; Marconi's patent 763,772 invalidated partly by Tesla's 1897 four-tuned-circuit patent; Tesla's 1898 radio-control patent; Colorado Springs goals; Long Island and his 1902/1904 letters to J. P. Morgan; ELF propagation in the Earth-ionosphere waveguide and the conclusion that Tesla believed in standing waves at low frequency and Earth resonances. Deep read: the paper gives no derivation of why the theory 'proved wrong'; Table 1 attenuation (dB/Mm): 0.25 at 10 Hz, 0.80 at 50 Hz, 1.00 at 100 Hz, 3.00 at 300 Hz, 20.00 at 1000 Hz; Tesla computed operating frequencies of 4, 6, 60 Hz and 15 and 20 kHz in the Long Island notes. The authors, based in Belgrade where the Tesla Museum holds the notes they cite, are sympathetic to Tesla (no financial stake found).

Key claims

• Tesla's theory of wireless energy transmission proved wrong but his apparatus and operating frequencies were sound.
• Tesla's 1897 four-tuned-circuit patent preceded Marconi's patent.
• Tesla's energy-flow concept through the earth 'was misleading' but a standing wave over the earth surface and low ELF attenuation were later borne out; an ELF antenna of 2 km umbrella monopoles has 86 percent efficiency at 20 kHz and only 0.1 percent at 100 Hz (from Burrows 1978, a secondary source).

Relevance: Historical and technical review of Tesla's wireless work by engineers.

Mainstream conflict: Authors state the original wireless-energy theory is not borne out.

Sections: 'Wheelwork of the Universe' (rejects Sun gravity as the cause of orbits, calls general relativity 'ludicrous', claims Earth's 107,000 km/h orbital speed is an 'oscillatory speed' that 'nullifies Kepler's laws', and rearranges an orbit equation to get G = 6.68681e-11 against the accepted 6.674e-11), Crookes's radiant matter, the ether as a medium of 'carriers' in an 'insulating fluid', 'Flaws in our current understanding of physics', the transmitter as a collector of cosmic energy through Earth-ionosphere oscillation, the flying machine as 'UFO', 'sustained and propelled entirely by reaction', Tesla patent 723,188, a 'simple death ray machine' (with a Boyd Bushman statement), and references. Author says he avoids conspiracy theories.

Key claims

• The Earth's orbit is a helix produced by the Sun's motion through the galaxy, so Kepler's laws are nullified.
• Tesla's Magnifying Transmitter, tuned to the Earth's motion, can collect unlimited cosmic energy.
• Most media UFOs are based on Tesla designs and Tesla built a flying machine propelled by compressing and stretching the ether.

Relevance: Part of the Tesla-lore context in the same bundle; does not use Handwerker's L.M.D. theory.

Mainstream conflict: Conflicts with Newtonian and relativistic orbital mechanics, energy conservation and the absence of an ether; the numerical derivation of G is a rearrangement of the author's own assumptions.

Part of the bundle TESLA-THEORY-2.pdf (208 pages, 40 OCR pages), a compilation of 14 separate items assembled by someone other than Handwerker (assembler not identified in the file). Only pp.5-23 are Handwerker's. Scalar waves defined as longitudinal waves of potentials (analogy with acoustic waves). Vacuum state E = 0, B = 0 with E = -grad U - dA/dt gives grad U = -dA/dt and curl A = 0; trial A = A0 sin(k.x - wt), U = U0 sin(k.x - wt), A0 = (k/w) U0; energy density (eps0/2)(Adot^2 + (grad U)^2) = eps0 k^2 U0^2 cos^2(k.x - wt) oscillating with a 90-degree phase shift between potentials; says spacetime must be 'compressible' and links this to general relativity. Proposes transmitters (two antennas half a wavelength apart, a bifilar Tesla coil of US 512,340) and receivers (capacitor plates, Faraday cage), a test of the propagation speed c = w/k, cites Evans's B(3) field and Meyl; reports unverified rumours that Eric Dollard found a longitudinal speed of (pi/2) c, noting no reliable published experiments exist. Deep read: author Horst Eckardt, A.I.A.S./UPITEC, a co-author of M. W. Evans's ECE programme (a stake in the theory), dated 2 Jan 2012. He cites Meyl (J. Scientific Exploration 15(2), 2001, pp.199-205) and Tesla's magnifying transmitter as setups that 'make the claim' to use longitudinal components, and the 1965 inverse Faraday effect paper (van der Ziel, Pershan, Malmstrom) for Evans's B(3) field (that reading is Eckardt/Evans's, not the 1965 paper's). Two antennas half a wavelength apart, a bifilar flat coil (US 512,340) and plates half a wavelength apart are proposed; no frequency, size, drive or phase is specified. The Dollard remark is his 'rumors' sentence with no citation. Unlike the arbiter's grounded-screen test, the Faraday cage is a receiver design that assumes its result and states no expected signal; the two are complementary (comparison in the deep read, section 7). Eckardt's E = B = 0 potential wave is a pure-gauge potential with no force on charges in standard theory; in the ECE programme potentials are physical.

Key claims

• Longitudinal waves of the potentials U and A can exist with E and B both zero.
• A scalar-wave receiver of two capacitor plates half a wavelength apart would show a voltage without an induced electric field.
• The speed of such waves might differ from c (rumoured (pi/2) c by Dollard; no published experiment).
• Faraday-cage receiver: because the cage shorts the electric part, 'only the magnetic part of the wave propagates in the interior', which sits uneasily with the paper's own B = 0 vacuum wave.
• No measured data of any kind appear in the paper; every device is a 'suggestion' or 'proposition'.

Relevance: A related theory by another author (Evans/ECE school) on longitudinal potential waves; the (pi/2) c rumour is the same ratio Handwerker reports for his two coil frequencies.

Mainstream conflict: Vacuum solutions with E = B = 0 carry no energy in standard theory (a pure-gauge potential); the energy density written here is not the standard one. Author states experimental reliability is lacking. Related work for claim 1: a second claimed experimental family (Meyl 2001, alongside Monstein-Wesley); Eckardt himself reports no reliable experiments.

Only pp.5-23 are Handwerker's. Tesla's 1891-1898 claims of harmless high-frequency currents with therapeutic use; Georges Lakhovsky's theory that cell filaments are ultramicroscopic oscillating circuits; violet-ray devices sold by mail order in the 1920s-30s; author's oil-immersed coil, Bob Beck-type portable coil (12 V ignition coil, spark gap), 1-30 minute applications, 'ozone' and the author's own sparkless experiment. Therapeutic effects are stated by the author; no controlled data in the digest.

Key claims

• High-frequency currents from a Tesla-type coil have electrotherapeutic effects (stated by the author).

Relevance: Peripheral: Tesla-coil lore in the bundle.

Mainstream conflict: Medical effects are asserted without controlled trials in what is shown.

Only pp.5-23 are Handwerker's. A 'Tesla watch' (analog watch with a mobius strip) is used as a scalar generator at 8 Hz; lymphocytes exposed to it showed 76 percent more DNA-synthesis proliferation than with a control watch (means 159 against 90 cpm/10^5 cells; control +34 percent and scalar +137 percent over blank; 6 control and 7 scalar trials, large scatter from 0 to 375; reported 'significant at p.001' [as printed]). Says scalars 'exist in 5-dimensional space/time' and do not decay with distance (citing Bearden 1988). Author interested party: ELF Cocoon International sells the watch.

Key claims

• Scalar fields from a mobius-strip 'Tesla watch' raise lymphocyte proliferation by about 76 percent over an ordinary watch.

Relevance: A biological 'scalar wave' claim in the bundle; unrelated to Handwerker's own experiments.

Mainstream conflict: Not established; small sample, wide scatter, author has a commercial tie.

Author's build of a Lakhovsky/Tesla electrotherapy coil: 7-turn primary, 5-turn secondary of #18 wire, 12 V ignition-coil supply with solid-state interrupter, ring antennas; says Tesla and Lakhovsky both tried to suppress sparking; reports 'very gentle and very penetrating' output with a 'relaxation' effect within 15 minutes.

Key claims

• Tesla and Lakhovsky designs work better with sparking suppressed.

Relevance: Peripheral Tesla-coil lore.

Mainstream conflict: Effects are the author's report; no data shown.

Surveys Earth's magnetosphere, aurora ('pumping millions of megawatts'), Auroral Kilometric Radiation (30-500 kHz, peak about 200 kHz, about 1000 MW), Helios plasma-oscillation observations, Stanford VLF experiment, and 'historical' free-energy devices (Keely 42.8 kHz, Moray 1909, Hubbard, Coler, Hendershot) with the author's own field recordings at 8000 ft in New Mexico (lightning-driven oscillation near 86 kHz and 42.8 kHz components). Concludes the magnetosphere stores energy and 'confirms Tesla'.

Key claims

• The magnetosphere stores energy that can be drawn into the lower atmosphere, confirming Tesla.
• Earth resonates near 42.8 kHz (Keely's figure), seen in the author's recordings.

Relevance: Related-work context: free-energy and Earth-energy inventors in the bundle (Moray is also a separate altsci topic).

Mainstream conflict: Space-physics measurements cited are standard; the energy-extraction conclusion is unsupported in what is shown.

Only pp.5-23 are Handwerker's. Russian-language essay: Wardenclyffe was meant to induce ionosphere oscillations (claims a potential difference of about 2 GV between Earth and ionosphere), draw energy from the ether, open 'temporal windows to parallel worlds' and accelerate human evolution; Tesla's world model as a continuous electromagnetic medium with resonance as the universal law; Einstein and the ether; the twelve 1900 aims of the World System; Tesla's visualisation, 'clairvoyance' and philosophy; sources include Russian editions of Tesla's articles and lectures. Author's religious and philosophical framing; states Einstein's theory hinders ether-based technology.

Key claims

• Tesla's Wardenclyffe tower was intended to induce ionosphere oscillations, draw energy from the ether and open windows to parallel worlds.
• Accepting the world-ether theory would require abandoning Einstein's relativity, the Big Bang and the physical vacuum.

Relevance: Context only; shows the ether-and-Tesla milieu of the compilation.

Mainstream conflict: Conflicts with relativity, cosmology and quantum physics; no evidence offered.
