question about the tesla Coil

[Money]

in this article i was reading about how a Tesla coil works the article says

 

"An inductor converts an electrical current (symbol I, measured in Amperes) into a magnetic field (symbol B, measured in Tesla [yes, named in honor of Nikola Tesla]), or a magnetic field into a current. Inductors are formed from electrical conductors wound into coils."

how is it possible to to convert an electrical current into a magnetic field and vice versa ?

 

and by doing this is does the area effected by the magnetic field have electricity in the "air", and is that house Tesla was able with without wires or anything make light bulbs glow by just him holding them in this field?

[zerobreaking]

it works on the law of induction. When a wire is in the presence of a magnetic field it induces a current in it. and it works the opposite way to when you put a current through a wire it puts off a magnetic field.

and it is true that when you hold a light thing next to a tesla coil it will induce a current in it and it lights up.

Magnetic fields are the result of moving charges. Magnetic fields appear when you take an electric field and transform into a coordinate system that's moving.

I have heard people are beginning to develope power cords that are well, cordless. They are using tesla coils to do this because how they convert electricity into magnetic fields. The magnetic fields can move around objects without harming living things (humans).

Tesla believed he could supply the world with "Free" energy and he proved it but because he could businessmen wouldn't fund him anymore since they wouldn't be able to make a profit. In one of his experiments in Colorado using a very big Tesla coil created lightning and through pumping electricity in through the earth lit a light bulb placed in the ground 25 miles away.

Oh, really? Prove it.

He figured out how to draw large amounts of energy from the Ionosphere with a tower without using a lot of energy in the process and once this is done could provide "wireless energy" to the world using a few more towers. i believe the tower was a very large tesla coil modified. Tesla coils can use a certain small amounts of energy and emit many times more. (small compared to the amount emitted).

Tesla, was a very skilled inventor... I don't think anyone will argue that. But everything you posted is heresay, not proof. Remember, you are posting on a science forum.. Did anyone replicate Tesla's earth quake resonance machine? Or his 25 mile radius earth battery (or wireless energy), wireless electric car, or his flying machine? Exact replication are the proof required for his claims, and I don't think there are any.

 

Almost every single thing written about Tesla on the Internet is written by some fanatic Tesla fan... (This isn't proof!) Which is unfortunate because it give the guy a bad name in the science community (imo).
