Nikola Tesla

A genius way ahead of his time. What do you think life would have been like had his Wardenclyffe Tower project been successful? Do you think we would have free, unlimited, electricity right now?

No, we'd just have a very inefficient means of transporting power when compared to the very efficient way we use now which uses cables.  So it'd be more expensive, more limited electricity.

What do you mean by if project would be sucessful?
Isn't it regular 'radio tower' that is used nowadays to transmit info on different frequencies?
I'm too lazy to search on wikipedia now:tongue:

Tesla was a genius.  On a macro utility scale, no. Wireless inductive power is starting to make its way into the marketplace. For example, there is a wireless phone charging mat called Powermat. Just a pipe dream of mine but, maybe in the next few years the FCC will  allocate frequency bands for low to medium range wireless power generation.

there is a reason why its a mat and not an antenna.  distance and efficiency are inversely related.

Niko;a Tesla is a hero of mine. JP Morgan and Edison were hacks that contributed nothing but greed and hatred to this world.
Nikola Tesla also created the arc lamp in the late 1800s, ironically now we use Tesla's bulb (floresent) over the blub Edison stole from Joseph Wilson Swan (incondesents). Its also very ironic since man kinds obsession with mercury has caused a list of deaths/damages (from being in hats, make-up, home thermometers (kinda understandable...but absurd in a consumer world), ect) and the only thing its actually good at (being the medium for the arc lamp aka flurencent bulb) wasn't used until resently.

Also the Tesla Turbine, or the bladeless turbine is the cheapest and most efficent trubine in the history of man to this date. It runs and lamner flow and turbulance (FUCKING TURBULANCE MAN, no one knows how that shit works but Telsa knew how to use it).

i wonder if him being around high voltage electricity all the time some how made him smarter. he was WAY ahead of his time and is probably still ahead in our time. he was an alien, its the only logical explanation.

tesla is a hero of mine too. Im surprised that peoplea re so pessimistic in this thread, since no one knows what his idea even was. It is pretty naive to think that he was just thinking of inducing power through the air. That would be a form of power transmission, and not a form of power generation. As far as im aware, teslas tower was meant to actually produce electricity by tapping into the ionosphere. But ultimately no one knows because his notes were destroyed

TOTALLY!

What's worse, I saw some stupid thing on the History Channel that talked about the history of electricity and the part that I saw was telling the story of AC but there was NO mention of Tesla, AT ALL!!! They mentioned Westinghouse over and over, but Tesla's name wasn't mentioned at all (at least the hunk that I could stand watching)

I mean I knew that the History Channel was bogus, but that's just ridiculous.
