Abstract

Model of Earth charge resonant oscillations excitations based on Tesla experiment, was offered. Solutions of d'Alembert wave equations for electric and magnetic potentials of the charged perfectly conductive sphere were found. Graphic analyses of perturbed potential distribution on the Earth surface was provided. It was shown that obtained solution provides adequate description of Tesla experiment on wireless transfer of electricity conducted in Colorado Springs in 1899 – 1900. In the very low-frequency area of the electro-magnetic oscillations spectrum it was offered to consider the Earth as capacitors battery, consisting of two put one into another perfectly conductive spheres, between which thin dielectric layers is placed. Own oscillation frequencies of the Earth charge were determined in this area. It was shown that these frequencies most precisely correspond to experimentally measured Schumann resonances.
