🌍 From Earth-Coupling to Carrier Wave

1. Wave Injection into the Earth
The current is launched from the underground segment of the transmitter, coupling with the Earth and radiating outward.

2. Global Transit
The wave travels through the Earth’s conductive pathways until it reaches the diametrically opposite side of the planet. (blue wave below)

3. Return Path
The wave reflects and returns along the same path, converging back toward the originating transmitter site. (red wave below)

4. Collection at the Tower
The returning wave is captured at the surface tower, where it is re‑amplified and re‑launched, reinforcing stability.

5. Standing Wave Formation
As the speed is slowly increased the outgoing and returning waves interact to create a third phenomenon: a free-standing electromagnetic wave.

6. Carrier Wave Utility
This standing wave becomes the carrier wave, a stable coherent field capable of transporting energy, data, and communications simultaneously. It is the invisible backbone of Grid Keeper’s resonance-based infrastructure.

✨ Why This Matters:

• Scalable: Planetary in reach, not bound by wires or towers.

• Efficient: Energy and data ride the same wave, reducing redundancy.

• Resilient: Coherent fields are less vulnerable to local disruptions.

Universal Access

Through advanced modulation techniques, individuals and industries can selectively “tap into” various frequencies within the global grid, enabling seamless transmission of energy, data, telecommunications, and even radio and TV broadcasting. This harmonized, resonance-driven system eliminates reliance on traditional infrastructure like satellites, fiber optics, and cellular towers, fostering a more adaptive, resilient, and universally accessible network.

Evidence Matrix – Grid Keeper Wave Foundations

Together, these validated domains confirm the feasibility of resonance-based infrastructure. Independent ANSYS/Ozen simulations will extend this foundation, resolving integration and efficiency through a staged $575K validation program. This ensures Grid Keeper advances from scientific credibility to engineering feasibility, offering investors and regulators a clear path to deployment.

The $575K program is structured across four phases, each resolving a critical feasibility milestone from planetary transmitter validation through subsystem integration, Earth–capacitor resonance, and distribution infrastructure modeling. Detailed budgets and deliverables are available to investors under NDA.
