If you think you know a better definition or description of cold electricity, this would be a good place for you to lay your cards on the table and explain what you think cold electricity is.
On Roentgen Rays by Nikola Tesla
When Tesla talks about radiant, that is THE SAME THING that we know as radio waves. True, there are radial and longitudinal components, but they are both radio waves. We also have a new vocabulary when it comes to inductors, capacitors, and a whole slew of other new stuff. But, cold electricity is nothing more or less than high voltage, low current circuitry.
Crookes, On Radiant Matter
I disagree with you about radiant energy being radio waves unless you consider X-rays and particles emitted by atomic decay and cosmic rays to be radio waves. Tesla considered the "rays" to be particles which carried an electrical charge which also bleeds into wireless transmission of energy - particles traveling in straight lines that carry electrical charge.
There's a long, drawn out explanation at the following link that traces how the idea evolved through time from "radiant matter" to "radiant energy" to what we today call "atomic energy" or "nuclear energy". See Reply #19 at the following link:
Understanding Tesla
Again Gerry Vassilatos is largely responsible for most of the BS surrounding "radiant energy". There are a couple of telling features about his "Secrets of Cold War Technology" book that identify it as pure contrivance. First, there are no references for any of the claims made in the book. And if it is read carefully you will see that he makes assertions that could only be known if he witnessed some events that occurred before he was born. Although an enjoyable read it is full of BS and should be considered fiction - fiction needs no references.
