Today, it is difficult for a modern person to imagine what it is like when, with the onset of darkness, the streets are completely dark. After all, today the night streets are well lit. How was it before?
There are paintings, even from the early 19th century, on which you can see beautiful illumination. According to the official version, this was done with the help of icon lamps, which were set on fire with a powder cord.
Illumination at the coronation of Alexander 1, 1801, artist Alekseev Fyodor Yakovlevich.
Something very much resembles light bulbs, in the courtyard of 1801, A. S. Pushkin is only 2 years old, before the official invention of the light bulb is 75 years old, and even then it was an electric arc lamp, unreliable in operation. From the assumption that each light bulb is only 25 W and a power of 10 kW, only 400 bulbs are obtained. But in the picture there are clearly more light bulbs and there are more light bulbs in terms of power, maybe under 100 watts, so we can safely assume that the power of the power plant to power the light bulbs is 50 kW.
There was good street lighting at the coronation of Alexander II in 1856. Exactly the same.
In 1883, during the coronation of Alexander III, electric lighting was used for the first time.

In Australia 1900-1920s, very beautiful lighting. The architecture does not differ from the architecture of other continents.
The lighting is very bright, which means there must be industrial production of light bulbs. On the left are powerful street lights. Such a ball glows from above, high enough. What kind of lamp was up there.
Perhaps, to find out how it all worked, in fact, you need to look at the exhibits at the exhibition of achievements of the national economy, which at that time took place around the world, the pavilion dedicated to electricity, 1881.
Some churches, sticks, trellises. It was these churches at the exhibitions in the pavilion about electricity that led to the version that in the 20th century, all over the world there was a destruction of sources of free electricity. Let's consider in a little more detail.
After 1920, industrial exhibitions ceased to take place and the lighting of objects in photographs disappeared. Exhibition pavilions were demolished, although they did not last for temporary buildings, especially for that period of time.
1953 on the same streets, the illumination of Australia is no longer so bright.
Such a ball burning with light at the top of the building. And lamps on the sides of the dome.
San Francisco, in the panorama at magnification you can see hundreds of lightning rods again with a ball.
And this is a gothic cathedral, also a ball.
What is above the dome cannot be called a cross. There are no crosses, there is a complex device. It looks like they removed the antennas from the domes and put up crosses.
The technologies were lost or, more correctly, hidden. The temples of India, China, as well as mosques also have long spiers, balls of different sizes, twisted, spring-like structures.
At that time, atmospheric generators of electricity were installed everywhere. The current was transmitted over a distance without wires.
And this theory is not at all fantastic as it seems at first glance. Any generator consisting of a stator and a rotor is nothing more than a pump for pumping electricity from the atmosphere. Electricity has not changed, only the way it is produced is changing.
The story has messed up the brain. A story that never happened.
