In the late 20th century, a trial captioned Honeywell versus Sperry Rand took place to
determine the actual inventor of the electronic digital computer. A United States District Court
found that the two individuals generally credited with the invention did not in fact invent the
machine but derived their fundamental design from one John Vincent Atanasoff. During his trial testimony, Atanasoff displayed his gift and commitment as a teacher while he taught much about how physical reality is increasingly understood. He said:
“We have a physically objective world, and then after a while we learn to measure in this
world, and we gain experience with this world, through our senses. That is the objective
world, and then we pass in to the mathematical world. In the mathematical world there are
mathematical entities – “x”, “y”, numbers, and things of that kind. And we bring this
mathematical world into isomorphism, or equality in structure with the objective world, so
we can manipulate the mathematics and tell what the objective world is going to do; or, as
Dirac – a great theoretical physicist – said, to calculate numbers which can be compared
with experience, and such is the meaning of all mathematics.
The theoretical physicist, or the mathematical physicist, or the physicist in the more
elementary sense is merely an artist and he’s attempting to depict the external world in
terms of these formulations of which I speak, and the question is, if the theory is real. Take
Newton, Newton did this; he was a great painter and he painted the field of mechanics for
us in certain equational form. Now, the interesting thing is, and the powerful thing is that if
you manipulate these equations, they behave in an analogy with the physical world so that
by examining these equations, you can tell what the physical world is doing or should do.
Now, suppose it doesn’t do it? Why then you have a case where the theory in question has
broken down. And when I spoke of Einstein, I was speaking of certain slight deficiencies in
Newton’s world. Newton did it first, then along came Einstein and Einstein noticed certain
discrepancies in the world described by Newton, so he tried a new formulation, generated a
new formulation for the theory of relativity, and his theory also is subject to criticism as time
goes on.”
Four years before Atanasoff began construction on the Atanasoff Berry Computer in 1938, a
series of treatments titled The Local Universe were formulated as part of a larger collection
and one of those individual papers was titled Energy — Mind and Matter. That paper stated
that an electron is formed from an aggregation of one hundred components called ‘ultimatons.’
The author also stated that “Matter in its physical properties depends on the revolutionary rates
of its component members, the number and size of the revolving members, their distance from
the nuclear body or the space content of matter, as well as on the presence of certain forces as
yet undiscovered . . .”
On March the 7th in 2023, Inventor Roland L. Besser was awarded a United States Patent for
the Wireless Transmission of Electricity. In describing the background of the invention
Besser wrote “ . . it would be desirable to have a system for the wireless transmission of
electricity through the air that utilizes the Earth’s natural magnetosphere or an induced
magnetosphere to produce electrons which may be systematically converted to almost
weightless pre-particles that are transmissible from a tower with a low frequency radio signal.”
In our interview, Besser was asked how his invention might be differentiated from the work of
Nikola Tesla. Besser offered the following explanation:
“Tesla sent millions of electrons into the ground and it reacted by sparking. We are aware of what he tried to do and the problem with the experiment in New York and I guess it’s about 1909, 1906, somewhere in there, is that he used that device to not only convert but to use electrons to put up the tower. What he actually sent up the tower were protons and that is evidenced by the fact that the proton hit the porch light of the farmhouse and the porch light eventually burned out.
When it burned out we understood that it was protons that he was sending instead of
electrons. If he had taken the device that he used out of the equation he may have produced 15
minutes of light on the porch by not sending protons but sending electrons instead.
The problem with Tesla was that he also had it wired up in a slightly different way than we
wire it today.
When asked about his use of the term “ultimaton’ in the patent, Besser offered the following:
“We use pre-particles to provide the electricity off the new plant and it is difficult to explain
to science that we know that the pre-particle electron and muon both have a considerable
number of ultimatons in them and that we manipulate the ultimatons to get a free-flowing
electricity up the tower leg and out into the homes through an antenna.”
In this series of the EnergyHARP we will take a deep dive into the work of Ronald Besser, his patent for the Wireless Transmission of Electricity, and his plans to offer this service to the waiting world.
