There are apparently different definitions of Radiant Energy.
"Radiation is known as radiant energy." [Russell, The Secret of Light, page 175]
"Radiant Energy" is impossible without generative energy to born it." [Russell, The Secret of Light, page 177]
- Magnetism - Energy that radiates from an electrical source such as from a charged antenna.
- Radiation or Radioactivity - Energy being emitted from an atom such as radium.
- Thermal Radiation or Heat.
- Sound or acoustic radiation.
- Gravism
- Photonic Emission (Light)
All forms of radiant energy are dispersive and hence all are entropic; i.e., one side of the syntropy / entropy duality. These entropic dispersions may be converted to syntropy and concentrated into a polar stream such as electricity via the first half of the Law of Cycles in the process called induction.

I have been posting this information for years on my Internet site. All one must do is LOOK.
We use a very special meter to determine the charge in the secondary battery. That meter is called a BK Precision Battery Capacity Analyzer, Model 600. What is so hard to understand about this and what more proof do you need that the battery is REALLY CHARGED, knowing the meter reads the battery's capacity in amp-hours?
This circuit does unexpected things. You can only discover these things by building one and testing it on your own lab bench. No amount of "thinking about it" will penetrate the mysteries. Build the device and study what it does. This is what I have done for 35 years!
I want nothing to do with Newman or his theory or his test results, and the machine is not over unity in any way. How many times must I say this?
I will say this in plain English again for you both. Go through My pages. You will see pictures of the wave-forms. You will see every machine I have ever experimented with, including the "bucking field" generator. You will see everything I talk about. I do not just sit here and draw diagrams that do not work. I test everything. I do original work, and patent it. When I "duplicate" someone else's device, I report it and give credit to the inventor, like my "Adams" replication.
I did not give Sterling bogus information when he arrived here to see if my devices were real. I sat right here and let his engineer watch batteries charging, hooked up to the scope so he could see the wave-forms. I sat right here and showed him how the circuits work. I sat right here and explained everything I could within reason. But this company has millions of dollars worth of stockholders. Sterling and his group signed "Non-Disclosure Agreements" before the demonstrations. I gave Sterling permission to start his public replication project for the "School Girl Motor." The idea that I have some nebulous obligation to disclose everything about this technology on the Internet is pure fantasy.
I (am giving) you "step one" on the path to this discovery.
I have posted the Kron work on my pages, along with the wave-form pictures.
These systems do NOT capture "back EMF". Back EMF is not capturable. My patents say that my motor captures Back EMF because THAT is the only claim the Patent Office would accept. In reality, Back EMF is a term in electrical science that refers to the effect that reduces the current draw in a traction motor as the motor speeds up and generates a counter voltage that opposes the applied current. THAT is "Back EMF." My systems do NOT use this process.
You are correct when you say that I am quoting Nikola Tesla correctly. But it goes much deeper than that. I actually understand what Nikola Tesla was saying and my systems tap the same Radiant Energy that Nikola Tesla discovered.
There is NO free electricity produced in these systems, or any other system that I know of. I have stated this repeatedly. The only thing these systems produce are a series of "high voltage spikes" that have no current associated with them. Voltage without current is the nature of Radiant Energy. This is what Nikola Tesla said. I call this "reactive power" because it does not represent voltage and current simultaneously, that could be measured as WATTS. This Radiant Reactive power WILL charge batteries, light light-bulbs and other things but it DOES NOT meter as REAL POWER. This is why (regular) math is useless! My light-bulbs are on. I KNOW that Nikola Tesla was right about the nature of electricity, and how to successfully tap its useful fractions. If you would just build the motor the way I have said, you could begin to learn about this too. [John Bedini]
Tesla on Radiant Energy
In April 1896, while deeply immersed in his X-ray experiments, Tesla put forward a bold hypothesis — but only on one condition:
“Should the above relation be confirmed by other physicists, we shall be justified to draw the following conclusions…”
From there he outlined six inferences about X-rays: that they were “material streams,” that metals could reflect them, and that even the Sun might be their source. On mechanism, he was emphatic:
“No theory of vibration of any kind would account for this singular relation… Streams of projected matter coming in actual contact with the reflecting metal surface afford the only plausible explanation.”
And he didn’t stop at X-rays. Tesla stretched the claim much further:
“…streams resembling the cathodic must be emitted by the sun and probably also by other sources of radiant energy, such as an arc light or Bunsen burner.”
On the puzzling “missing” energy, he pressed it into service against J. J. Thomson’s conductivity idea:
“…about two and one-half per cent were reflected and about three per cent transmitted… hence over 94 per cent of the total radiation remain to be accounted for… To trace this lost energy and account for it in a plausible way will be equivalent to making a new discovery.”
“The oil should have now, according to Prof. J. J. Thomson’s statement, become a conductor and a very marked change in the vibration should have occurred. This was found not to be the case… The method I have followed is so delicate that a mistake is almost an impossibility.”
(Today we know the “missing” energy wasn’t lost at all — it was absorbed as heat, just below the detection limits of Tesla’s instruments. His oil test was clever and correctly showed that liquids don’t behave like gases under X-ray exposure, but he overgeneralized it into a rejection of ionization altogether.)
He also distanced himself from Maxwell’s ether, choosing different language for the medium:
“…to avoid the use of the word ‘ether,’ which is usually understood in the sense of the Maxwellian interpretation, which would not be in accord with my present convictions…”
And about that famous analogy? It belongs in the practical world of X-ray imaging:
“…we have to deal with flying bullets hitting against a wall composed of parts of different density… hence, in order to bring out detail, very strong radiations are required.”
Tesla wasn’t just theorizing. He was building hardware to match — oil-immersed tubes, long electrode leads to suppress back-sparks, cold air blasts to tame streamers, and mica reflectors with layer-by-layer efficiency. With these designs he reported exposures at 40+ feet, where bone shadows were still visible. Classic Tesla: blending bold theory with hands-on engineering.
By 1901, Tesla locked these ideas into two landmark patents — No. 685,957 (Apparatus for the Utilization of Radiant Energy) and No. 685,958 (Method of Utilizing Radiant Energy).
In them, he rejected the wave-only explanation of radiation and doubled down on his particle view:
“Sources of such radiant energy throw off with great velocity minute particles of matter which are strongly electrified, and therefore capable of charging an electrical conductor…”
The apparatus was simple but bold:
• A metal plate elevated to catch solar or cosmic streams.
• A condenser (high-quality mica dielectric, carefully insulated).
• A ground connection acting as a “vast reservoir of negative electricity.”
The method was equally clear: expose one condenser armature to the rays, supply the other with an opposite charge (usually from ground), and let the current flow. Over time the condenser would accumulate charge — “almost indefinitely, even to the point of rupturing the dielectric.” A discharge through a circuit-controller could then drive a motor, relay, or transformer.
Tesla even foresaw a signaling function:
“If the radiations of the source be stopped or intercepted or their intensity varied… there will be corresponding changes in the action upon the receiver, and thus signals may be transmitted.”
These patents weren’t just theoretical add-ons to his 1896 hypothesis — they were the blueprint. They show Tesla imagining both practical power devices and early wireless communication from the very same principle.
Tesla’s proposal was simple: a natural source of energy in the form of streams of charged particles from the Sun — what we would later call “cosmic rays.” These weren’t experimentally confirmed until Victor Hess’s high-altitude balloon flights in 1912, more than a decade after Tesla’s claims. To him, they represented the ultimate reservoir of usable power — and he believed he had devised ways to harness them.
Historical footnote: Tesla’s conviction that all radiation was particulate was bold but incomplete. Physics eventually embraced wave-particle duality, explaining diffraction, interference, and X-ray behavior alongside particle effects. Tesla’s devices exploited real effects (like photoelectric charging) but his explanation — streams of charged solar matter — missed the quantum leap Einstein would make in 1905. His framework couldn’t evolve toward the dual picture that became central to modern physics.
