Distant Waves

The beginning of this book takes place at a séance Jane’s mother is performing. After contacting a deeply missed loved one, Maude, her mother, and her children, Mimi, Jane, Emma, and Amelie, plus, an unborn, set out towards home. But on their way, the ground violently shakes, and a young man, whom is later to be found out to be Nikola Tesla comes and brings the newly-widowed family into a building, where he proceeds to smash an alarm clock sized machine that resulted in cease of the shaking. The family soon learns about his attempt to study vibrational patterns that caused the shaking. And soon, the young group set off for a village of physic mediums near buffalo. There, Jane becomes enthused with the life of Nikola Tesla, and over 12 years collects information about his life from newspapers in a scrapbook. At the age of sixteen, Jane and her eighteen-year-old sister Mimi set off for New York City, where the famed Tesla was staying. Tesla remembered her, and, Jane was thrilled. Jane also sparked up a small relationship with Tesla assistant, Thad, and when Mimi runs off to Europe with Mr. Guggenheim and his mistress, Jane is forced to leave New York City, and return to her mother. But before she leaves, Thad promises her that he would write. Jane patiently awaits a letter from Thad over the next six months but only receives a book, with no inscription as to whom it was from. Soon, her mother is invited to a Physic Mediums convention in London, and the whole family, along with the now 12-year-old baby Blythe, travels to London. As a séance is conducted with the twins Emma and Amelie and Maude, Emma is transformed into some kind of ghost of the former Queen Victoria, and warns everyone of the upcoming World War One. After the convention, the small all girl family find themselves seeing Mimi and thinking she’s a ghost. But, as it turned out, she was alive, and sought out them. In the time she was gone, Mimi fell in love with Mr. Guggenheim’s valet and is bought a ticket on the doomed Titanic. Soon, everyone but Maude find a way onto the Titanic. As soon as the twins are onboard, they start having problems, and see great problems with the ship’s future. A young Chinese girl named Li goes and fetches help, and who else is the help but Jane’s crush, Thad. After the girls are sedated, Jane and Thad spark up a relationship, and soon find themselves agreeing to engagement on the date of Mimi’s wedding, April 14, onboard the Titanic. All is well; until Nikola’s newly built “earthquake machine” disrupts the ship, and adds to the damage of the iceberg. In an act to save everyone from imminent death, Tesla unveils his time machine, and sends him and Jane 2 hours and 40 minutes into the future. There, Nikola finds Jane, and soon, finds Emma and Amelie. But soon, Emma dies from hypothermia. After a bit of searching, Jane finds the dead body of Victor, Mimi’s new husband. But, she cannot find Thad or Mimi. Concluding that Mimi and Thad had drowned, Jane tries to move on. Two years and 4 months later, Jane is working at the Sun Newspaper as a journalist. A story rolls in about two people found in the ocean, a man and a woman, with no sign of a boat or floating device in sight. The photograph of the people is instantly familiar to Jane, and she hurries to cover the story. When she arrives, she is reunited with Mimi, and, a little later, Thad. Apparently, Tesla’s invention forwarded Thad and Mimi Two years and 4 months into the future. Mimi is stricken by Victor’s death but Thad and Jane finally have reached a happy ending.

Question #4:

Questions about Nikola Tesla?

Anyone able to tell me anything about Nikola Tesla
Where would we have been without him?
What inventions would have been impossible without his?
Tesla's top 10? inventions?
Just don't link to wikipedia or so :D
Thank you!!!

Question #5:

Is the magnetic feild in a magnet static or kenetic?

errm hummm well working on a theory by T.H.Moray, Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstine, - basic - i want to know if a magnet has a static or kenetic magnetic feild.

Question #6:

What are our alternative energy sources?

Nikola Tesla had some interesting Ideas.Go to you tube and search .Nikola Tesla -the lost wizard.

Question #7:

Could someone explain the Polyphase Alternating Current system to me?

(I need to know for a project on Nikola Tesla)
And also, how does it relate to the AC motor?

I understand that it is the method of distributing AC electrical power, but I can't get a grasp around it and google isn't helping.

Don't just link me somewhere please. I want a description that's easy to understand.

Question #8:

What was Nikola Tesla's most important accomplishment to society?

And how did it work?

Direct answers please. Wikipedia links, etc., don't help.

Question #9:

What was Nikola Tesla's most important accomplishment?

And how does it affect our world today?

Question #10:

Is anyone looking into Nikola Tesla work?

They say Nikola Tesla was working on tower to tap into the ectricity from lightning or the ionosphere .

Some say there is enough ectricity in one lightning bolt to run the US for 3 years.

Question #11:

Alternate Energy a big bust?

From what people tell me the alternate energy has of now will not keep up with the demad .Now in the future the cost of the alternate energy may go way down and you may get more electricity out of it. People say wind power , tind power ,solar power , dams so on are more powerful now than before and cost less.

That say you have city population 500,000 you may need 5 solar power plants now not like before 12 solar power plants , If it was coal , gas or oil only one power plant.

This proves that alternate energy has of now cannot keep up with demad but may be in the future they may fix this problem.

Some people say cold fusion or fusion power will save the world one day.This is good stuff to look into.

Some way out scientist think you can get electricity from lightning or the ionosphere and claim that Nikola Tesla was working on tower to tap into this energy but got paid off

Question #12:

Question #17:

Contributions of Nikola Tesla to the world?

how did this guy contribute to the world? please anyone give me a good link except for wikipedia or anyone please write me a list? thanks a lot!

Question #18:

What did Nicola Tesla mean when he said...?

What "its turn" was Nikola Tesla referencing when he said "There is no thing endowed with life—from man, who is enslaving the elements, to the nimblest creature—in all this world that does not sway in its turn. Whenever action is born from force, though it be infinitesimal, the cosmic balance is upset and the universal motion results."

Was he referencing life, or energy or gravity, or what?
I should add, I don't need to know the physics or scientific processes that go along with Tesla's genius, I really just want to know what the "its" is when he says "that does not sway in its turn."

I appreciate all the knowledge you're offering, but you might as well be speaking in tongues.

Question #19:

who is more of a genius: Albert Einstein or Nikola Tesla?

and why
