electrical fields are the same. What he called a "motional electric field" was different
from the well-known electrostatic fields; the motional electric field results in a force
that passes through lead. In other words, the field is unshieldable.

Electricity of a different quality? Manning wasn't ready for that; she was
still studying beginner-level books about standard electricity whenever she went to a
library. Over the previous few years she had realized that there was a shortage of
journalists looking into this scene. Engineering lectures were a long way from her
university training as a social-worker and job experience as a reporter, but she would
look back on this 1986 conference, and more than a dozen other energy conferences
to follow, as an introduction to the scene. They introduced her to the fast growing
field of study called "non-conventional energy technologies". Even the William
Hooper patent would turn up in her life again later, quoted in a "skybuster" document
that would frighten some otherwise- unflappable scientists.

In the 1986 meeting, however, she tried to narrow down what she was
learning in order to make sense of it. History; she could easily grasp history. Next on
the Tesla program was a man with a craggy face and the erect posture of a military
officer. Dr. Bill Jones of Los Angeles was a physicist, retired naval officer and former
Top Gun pilot, who spoke about Nikola Testa's place in history. Fortunately, Jones
ran through his talk at a much slower pace than the Mach 2 speed at which he had
flown fighter planes. This physicist made it clear that he wanted Tesla reinstated in a
place of honor in history. For example, Jones said, Guglielmo Marconi got
recognition for radio, but Tesla had demonstrated a remote-control boat in Madison
Square Gardens several years before Marconi's announcement. Dr. Jones also told
about incidents such as the time in 1911 when Tesla described how radar could work.
Tesla was too far ahead of his time to be heard. Six years later Tesla had offered his
invention of a particle-beam weapon to the U.S. Department of War, and was laughed
out of the war office. Again, he was too early in the century to be believed.

With a reporter's habit of taking notes, Manning penned the speaker's
words in a notebook. "What do we really know about magnetism?....What do we
really know about electrostatics?"

Dr. Jones talked about something described as "force potential manifested
by stress, and not necessarily in the presence of mass." Some researchers looked at
this force potential as being "scalar electromechanics". Mainstream scientists are
reluctant to accept these new and revolutionary ideas, Dr. Jones said, but the ideas
hold promise for clean energy technology.

On the last day of the conference as people flowed out of the auditorium, the crowd
eddied around a man of wiry build, probably in his late thirties, who was speaking in
an abrupt insistent voice that could be heard at the end of the hall.

"I object to this deliberate build-up of a cult around Tesla - referring to
things he never invented, never said, as Tesla science'!"
