Andrija Puharich: Tesla’s Magnifying Transmitter

Andrija Puharich: Tesla's Magnifying Transmitter

Abstract

Previously not publicly available, this manuscript of Dr. Andrija Puharich provides an interesting hypothesis on possible uses of Tesla’s Magnifying Transmitter as a basis for electromagnetic warfare weapons on a global scale, capable of affecting the human nervous system as well as being capable of disrupting the power distribution systems of the enemy.

Dr. Nikola Tesla is considered one of the most prolific inventors and scientists of the late 19th and early 20th century. He is most renowned for his work with alternating electric currents, high-frequency resonant transformers and different wireless signal and energy transmission methods. His inventions and concepts are often misinterpreted and used as a coverall for various ideas and theories. Especially interesting is the case of Tesla’s Magnifying Transmitter (TMT). Nowadays, the physics behind TMT and engineering calculations are primarily understood, mainly due to the work of the Corum Brothers and Eric Dollard. Also, from the 1980’s to the present day, numerous versions of TMT have been built by amateurs and professionals. However, there are still some aspects of TMT behaviour that still need to be better understood. So, in the decades after Nikola Tesla’s death, various theories on its possible applications were proposed by different authors.

In the manuscript, Dr. Andrija Puharich also mentioned a few names of the alternative researchers of the time and their works. Most notable of the mentioned researchers is certainly Lieutenant Colonel (U.S. Army) Thomas E. Bearden, who at the approximately same time proposed his theory on the possible existence of “scalar weapons” based on Tesla’s concepts, which were allegedly built and operated by the USSR. Dr. Andrija Puharich wrote several articles on scalar weapons, indicating that he distinguished between those two supposed global electromagnetic warfare systems. The main difference between their theories is that Dr. Andrija Puharich also proposes that concurrent military programs run by the USA exist. In the second part of the manuscript, Dr. Andrija Puharich went a step further and proposed several technical solutions to counter the effects of such electromagnetic weapons on the human nervous system. Although such proposals are often dismissed by sceptics as being pseudo-science, at least some consideration should be given to the proposals of Dr. Andrija Puharich, considering the sheer number of later publicly released scientific papers and patents about the use of various radio-frequency systems that directly affect the human nervous system to alter its behaviour.

The rest of the manuscript is interspersed with multiple, sometimes seemingly unrelated, references to his other research methods of resonant water dissociation and his work on different types of biomedical devices. Interestingly enough, Dr. Andrija Puharich also finds it necessary to insist on 6.66 Hz being the main resonant frequency of the Earth, with no apparent scientific reasoning to support that claim. Considering his research of the paranormal and his involvement in various occult practices, most notable of which is “the channelling of the Nine”, it can be assumed with a high degree of certainty that such references should be considered out of the scientific context of the rest of the manuscript.

The manuscript of Dr. Andrija Puharich, “Tesla’s Magnifying Transmitter – Electromagnetic Warfare”, makes an interesting read and presents his original theories on possible uses of Tesla’s ideas for global-scale warfare. At the same time, Dr. Puharich also proposes methods of countering the effects of such weapons on people, which, whether feasible or not, certainly present a positive conclusion to a rather grim topic.
