Tesla has a protégé

After Tesla died his work was continued by his protégé, Dr. Orville Fitz, who conducted research with Tesla in the mid to late 1930s, investigating the separation of non-ferrous metals from mineral sources using applied pulsed electromagnetic fields. After studying the Tesla literature, James Girard, the inventor of the BioCharger units, located Dr. Fitz through a friend and contacted him. After some discussion, Dr. Fitz agreed to let Girard live and study with him. Girard lived and worked with Dr. Fitz in Texas for a period of 6 months from the fall of 1988 to the spring of 1989. During this time, Girard absorbed as much as he could from Tesla’s colleague. After studying firsthand with Tesla’s protégé, witnessing remarkable inventions, and reviewing the research literature on electrotherapy and the MWO, James Girard designed the BioCharger unit as a Tesla Coil wired in series with noble gasified low vacuum tubes. He added the unique Rodin Toroid Coil half-capacitor terminal to the top of the device. This variation of Tesla’s disruption coil design enables the BioCharger unit to function as a more powerful transmitter. This design consideration is important in our attempt to non-invasively (wirelessly) transmit electromagnetic energy to mitochondria to induce currents in to drive ATP generation.

The legacy of Nikola Tesla continues at BioCharger Corporation

James Girard continued to experiment with Tesla coils for decades. Over the years, he met others who would come to join him and bring other pieces of the puzzle. Research had demonstrated that cytochrome c oxidase, a chromophore in mitochondria, increased its function in response to laser light stimulation, leading to increased ATP levels. It is thought that this could occur by a number of mechanisms, including increasing the function of the enzyme perhaps by exciting it to its transitional activated state, which is rate-limiting. The maximal absorption spectra lie in the red, near red, far red, and infrared frequency ranges. This is a link harmonious with our overall hypothesis regarding the transduction of wirelessly transmitted electromagnetic energy into usable energy for the human body.

In support of this, it is notable that some researchers have found that cytochrome c oxidase responds to non-optical electromagnetic fields as well [4]. Blank and Soo reported that "60Hz magnetic fields increase the oxidation rate constant of cytochrome c oxidase by 203-0% at field strengths below 3 T and by a factor of about 2 between 6-10 T." This would explain why increased ATP levels result.

These two lines of experimental results combine together to offer a compelling hypothesis for the BioCharger's potential for transmitting energy to the human body in a synergistic way. Both the electromagnetic field and light components of the device act upon the cytochrome c oxidase enzyme in mitochondria to increase ATP production.

In 2002, Paul Begany joined Jim, bringing over 40 years of a research, manufacturing and business expertise to the team.

We are also exploring other mechanisms that we believe are operative in that arena.
