Surface-wave energy transmission proven in 1893. The maths arrived in 2026. Hogeland is the first neighbourhood to deploy it.
Tesla demonstrated wireless power in 1893. The principle was sound but the maths to make it work at neighbourhood scale didn't exist until now.
In 2026, the equations for surface-wave propagation through Dutch clay soils were solved. A bifilar coil at 7.83 Hz pushes energy through the ground. A receiving node 50m away harvests it. No wire. No battery. No grid.
The first experiment needs just one transmitter pod, one sensor node, one piece of evidence.
TX pod pushes energy through soil. Node harvests. Balloon adds atmospheric charge. LED lights up.
125 years of dismissed physics, unlocked by three papers.
Tesla built Wardenclyffe Tower in 1901 to transmit power through the Earth. It was never finished. The technology was dismissed for 125 years — not because the effects weren't real, but because nobody could write down the mathematics that explained why it should work.
The scalar-longitudinal sector was deleted from electrodynamics in three steps: Heaviside's 1884 vector reduction dropped 10 components from Maxwell's original quaternion equations. The Lorenz gauge convention eliminated the scalar field. Then potentials were demoted to mathematical artefacts — despite Aharonov-Bohm (1959) proving they were physically real.
Woodside (2009) proved the unique decomposition. Reed & Hively (2020) derived the full EED Lagrangian. Wilhelm (2026) synthesised the engineering framework — connecting Tesla, Meyl, Mills, and Searl for the first time. The maths now exists to spec every component precisely.
Before EED you could only stumble into these effects. Now you can engineer them.
Health monitoring, wealth generation, and civic resilience — built on physics 150 years overdue.
Every Hogeland address gets a low-power sensor node: temperature, humidity, utility flow. EED-enhanced LoRa predicts 500–2,000m underground range vs 5–16m standard.
Physical sensors feed real data into each resident's Berichtenbox. Health data (damp, mould risk), wealth data (energy use, heating efficiency).
Neighbourhood-scale power beaming from a single transmitter. Residents register a receiver, receive a key, receive power. The cooperative earns 70% of relay fees.
What each sensor node measures once deployed.
EED geometry extends range beyond line-of-sight. Works through brick, concrete, soil.
Continuous monitoring. No calibration. No maintenance. No battery swap.
Maps electrical conductivity across the buurt. Reveals contamination, water table, soil type.
Oxidation-reduction potential. Detects microbial activity, root health, composting effectiveness.
Detects vibration patterns: traffic, construction, subsidence, pipe leaks.
Maps the surface-wave field across the neighbourhood. Automatic with every node.
From one experiment to neighbourhood energy sovereignty.
One transmitter, one node, one piece of evidence. Proves the wave propagates through Hogeland clay.
Cooperative-funded. Local assembly.
Full neighbourhood sensor mesh. Data subscriptions begin.
Multiple neighbourhoods. Cooperative manufacturing in Indonesia.
Every buurt generates, stores, and shares energy through the ground. No grid dependency.
400 battery-free nodes. Every packet is empirical evidence of wireless power delivery.
The push-in node has no battery and no local solar. If it transmits, it received power from the Earth TX. Every packet = proof of delivery at that address.
Each node reports its voltage — a direct measurement of received ground power at that GPS location. 400 nodes = the first neighbourhood-scale power-vs-range curve for Dutch geology.
Soil conductivity effect on TX efficiency. Wet sandy peat soil (Hogeland) is near-optimal. The data will show exactly how much rain helps.
Correlates with solar TX output. Confirms the power came from the TX pod, not ambient sources. The diurnal cycle is the control experiment.
This is unprecedented. Academic Earth transmission research uses bench-scale, single-receiver, days-long experiments. Hogeland is 400 receivers, continuous for years, in real Dutch geology. The dataset will be the first neighbourhood-scale Earth transmission measurement in history. The infrastructure and the physics experiment are the same thing.
The maths arrived in 2026. Tesla's 130-year-old principle finally has the equations to work at neighbourhood scale. Hogeland is the proving ground.
We're pitching at TU Twente. We're building with Srikandi. We're deploying in Hogeland.
