INVENTOR’S AMAZING CLAIMS
USE OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY. GUIDING TRAFFIC FROM DISTANCE. CUxuted Preen Association —By Electric Telegraph Copyright). NEW YORK, July 10. Nikola Tesla, the holder of 700 basic patents, celebrated his 79th birthday by revealing seemingly incredible advances he is making in the field of electro-physics. Mr Tesla said ho had completed studies which “knocked the props’’ from under the relativity theory. He said he had measured the velocities of the cosmic ray from the Antares and found it was oO times greater than the speed of light, which relativity proponents contend is the maximum speed in the physical universe. Mr Teslq. described two electrical inventions. One is an apparatus by which mechanical energy can be transmitted to any part of the terrestrial globe. He said it had many practical applications as providing a new and unfailing means of communication and a safe means of guiding ships at sea. The other invention lie described as a new method and apparatus for producing direct current without a' commutator, whereby aeroplanes, even lorries and railways, could be operated by electric power from a disconnected station.
