    "A city appears—out of thin air. And the power to run that growing city? It’s out of thin air, too. Magic? No, more like a revolution, one created by a vision and a simple, yet profound, premise:

    Sustainable change.

    Maximum impact.

    SEFE is that vision…and a wholly unique way to power the world. The entire world, regardless of geography, politics or infrastructure.

    It isn’t alternative energy, because alternative energy—like wind farms, solar arrays and the like—actually need to create electricity from some other means. Instead, SEFE taps the source, capturing and converting naturally occurring static electricity in the atmosphere into a constant, abundant and decidedly green source of renewable energy."

    This amazing documentary gives long overdue recognition to a great and misunderstood man of science. The life of Nikola Tesla is an inspiring example of the power of one man to change the world with technology and revolutionary ideas.

    Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was one of the most fascinating scientists of the 20th century. He invented, developed or imagined the technology that brought us electricity, remote control, neon and fluorescent lighting, radio transmission and much more... all the basic inventions that now connect the world with power and information.

    He was a brilliant and charismatic immigrant whose talent took him to the height of celebrity. He locked horns with Thomas Edison, J. Pierpont Morgan, Guglielmo Marconi, and George Westinghouse. Mark Twain praised his genius. They are all characters in this program, the very first to tell the full story of Tesla's life and work.

    Like many geniuses, Tesla was not a conventional man. He gave his life to realize his visions, while others made millions with his inventions. Tragically, he died penniless and nearly forgotten.

    Where's the Charge? For the first time, Kelvin probe force microscopy shows how electrical charge is distributed in a single molecule. 

    This is a molecule, and the circles represent how the electrical charge is distributed inside it. 
    It’s a glimpse of the forces that bind molecules together, essentially. This picture is a major breakthrough for nanotechnologists — understanding how charge is arranged inside molecules could help research in anything from solar energy to biology.

    Arid regions are influencing their weather using electrical technology.

    According to a recent press release, the United Arab Emirates successfully caused rain to fall by making use of negative ion generators. Approximately 50 rainstorms fell in the driest months, during which time weather forecasters did not predict any rain at all.
