Folks Of Interest Tesla Group

That's just it - Everyday people, the writers of history books, influential museum curators and popular cable TV show hosts, can't and refuse to relate to anybody who even vaguely could be considered a crack-pot or was just 'out there'.
However some of the greatest inventions, art and ideas originally came from those who have straddled the fine line between genius and madness.
Some of them we know about, but many will never be named or recognized.
And who knows how many great ideas and solutions, to problems we face every day, have simply faded into oblivion.

 

Tesla invented the radio. A feat that continues to be crdited to Marconi. He was the man.

The movie "The Prestige" has a great part about Tesla in it. Probably totaly fictional, but fun anyway.

 

did Tesla invent the glue I used to sniff in the 60's?

 

Where does one sign up at?

 

The Supreme Court eventually ruled in Tesla's favor on this. However, Marconi is still popularly considered the inventor.

Here is what got Tesla crossed up on this: He had invented several items that, together, made radio possible. He began to set up his laboratory at Wardenclyffe, but the setup was overkill. He really wanted to demonstrate something bigger - he was looking ahead. In the mean time, Marconi took advantage of Tesla's inventions and was able to demonstrate wireless communications. SInce he ostensibly beat Tesla to the punch, Tesla lost some financing and Marconi was proclaimed the inventor.

Love your Avatar Roadrunner...you are one of the very few that i have ever "met" that has recognized the fine line between the Gifted and the Insane...are you also a closet psycho-****yst,focusing on those that are "out there"?HaHa! Interesting stuff,to be sure.Do you think it is because of ridicule,....not "fitting in",that there are so many "left behind" mind-monsters?Thanks.

 

Those individuals are often outsiders and outcasts from society.
They are sometimes considered a threat, which could leave too many cracks in the confines of a small artificial world, inspiring thoughts and a perspective of a far greater reality that exists outside.

Our world today would be unimaginable, if energy could be tapped from the atmosphere and would be available free and for everyone, as Tesla suggested.
Sadly this will likely never become reality in our world of possessive global culture.

 

the prestige is what got me into looking up stuff on Tesla, and am flat out amazed at what he accomplished, especially in the time frames, and resources available!

 

Wireless power was one of the coolest things he ever played with.

 

Y'all read about the sympathetic vibration experiments? With the proper equipment he coulda vibrated the fricken planet apart. Scary ****,man.

 

Agreed.
I really appreciate this thread because it's got me re-visiting the whole Edison vs. Tesla debate. It seems the evolution of the web has provided access to far more insightful information on the subject. In the past I was willing to concede some points in Edison's favor but if even half of what I am reading now is true, Edison was a lowlife.

 

I'm in because I'm facinated by the truth. I've studied him and his interaction with "Them",,or those who control the world. He wanted all his work to benefit mankind. They want to enslave mankind with the technology.
I had a Black Triangle come within 300 feet of me in 2002. I thought it was a ufo because it was obviously antigravity. I filed a report online back then because it really shook me up. We've seen it a total of 4 times now. Type in "TR-3B" my report Google "Slow moving ufo over Bigelow".
Our future looks glum as free men,,over one million patents have been stolen and hidden by "Them". Theres been alot of murders to keep things qiuet. I think Forestal was one of the better ones.I have over 200 books about these and current events that are cloaked in secrecy.
Henry Ford even fought with them (they wanted their "cut" of the new car biz) and he said that they controlled the Global Market back in the late 20's and 30's.Imagine the control now.
Roswell did happen and that technology was taken too.
Edison did what he was told to do and Tesla didn't,,they killed him in '43 while Edison stepped in and took over as "The father of Electricty".
It's great to sift through the lies and see a trend. This group is a great idea.
An absolute must read is the book : The Conspirators" Hierarchy: The Committee of 300.

 

I got introduced to Tesla and his world by a novel ***led The Invention of Everything Else by Samantha Hunt. After reading that, I wanted to sort out what was true and what was fiction. So at Christmas time 2008, I asked for and got a "biography" ***led Prodigal Genius, having scanned the list of Tesla bios at amazon. I chose unwisely. 'Twas a terrible book. Have to look for the bio by Cheney.

Anyway, I'm in. Signed up just a minute or two ago.

BS

 

Cool I use to get some neat lindsay`s technical books catalogs in the 80`s
in the mail had all kinds o neat reprinted books in them and a lot on Tesla

I`m in. how about a electric dragster with no battery's

 

Hey, we're past 20 members!!! I think we're doing fine. There are obviously quite a few of us interested in the great work done by this man.

 

i'm down.

 

Here is a way to put Tesla's development of AC motors and power distribution in perspective:

This was a game-changer. It was as revolutionary a development back then as the development of the personal computer was in the 1980s. Just as Bill Gates became the world's wealthiest man, so too could Tesla have become the world's richest man back in the day from this one thing that he did.

In fact, Tesla was owed a nice royalty on every horsepower of electric motor that was built by Westinghouse. That one contract would have made him the world's richest man. He voluntarily tore up the contract, thinking he really did not need the money (he could always invent something else) and that his royalty payments would have significantly reduced Westinghouse's margins. Some call this Tesla's altruism, or perhaps he was just not a good business man. Had he kept his royalties and become the world's richest man, history would obviously have taken a significantly different turn.

 

His tower at Wardenclyffe (now Shoreham, NY) reached deep into the ground. Tesla said it needed to have a firm grasp on the Earth, so that he could shake it.

It really makes sense. Much of Tesla's work had to do with resonant frequencies. Basis of the Tesla coil, for example. We all know that if you vibrate something at its resonant frequency that all sorts of interesting things happen. Obviously the Earth has a resonant frequency, and if I am not mistaken his power delivery schemes at the scale of Wardenclyffe was to take this into account.

 

JP Morgan took a statement by Tesla out of context and decided that he was trying to provide free electricity, more accurately, electricity that could not be metered.

Even if Tesla was able to deliver electricity wirelessly and without excessive loss, it still had to be generated, and obviously there would be a cost for that.

We have wireless power delivery today. All of the radio signals that bombard us every second of every day. It's just at a very low power. Tesla was looking at delivering higher power.

We don't really know the final answer on this because no one ever made the investment to look at it. Electrical engineering - specifically electrical power distribution - went in a completely different direction and we all see the power lines as a result of this. It does not make sense that Tesla had it 100% right -- he never even got to demonstrate it himself (that's what Wardenclyffe was really for, but JP Morgan shut him down before the tower was completed) or that additional R&D would not have been needed to completely flush it out and validate it.

Wireless transmission is omnidirectional and there is an inverse square relationship. So twice the distance, one fourth the power. You can see that there is potentially a lot of 'waste'. I have read some of Tesla's do***ents that indicate that one way he was trying to address this was by exploiting the natural resonance of the Earth.

Part of the problem is that Tesla's writing style was somewhat obscure (in terms of relating his concepts in a way we understand them today), he did not write everything down, some of his writings are not available to us (they are abroad) and the rest were taken by the FBI when he died and I am not sure if they have ever all been accounted for.

What this means is that nothing further will ever come of this unless and until someone is prepared to initiate major funding. I don't see it happening as it is too far removed from the status quo. And, maybe, it is not the way to go as some smart people came up with the power distribution system we all know and love today.

None of this takes anything away from Tesla as a brilliant innovator, and to whom we all owe a significant portion of our standard of living.

 

Interesting Tesla article - very enthusiastic, but factually pretty much on target. Includes some information on the original Tesla electric car.

Tesla group, they don't look that smart.... but WTF do I know?


Just kidding of co****. As an electrician, this stuff is very interesting to me.
