Tesla Coil Music - Featured on Hacked Gadgets

awesome stuff!

I haven't heard of anyone performing such expirements since then, so I doubt that there are many laws or theories made on the subjects. At least, not many well known ones that is. It sounds like science fiction, but sometiems people do need to think outside of their hinderances. Too often do we let ourselves be held back by such paltry things.

Tesla was able to safely electrify the atmosphere, and capture that power 25 miles away to illuminate 200 of his fluorescent lamps. The lamps, of course, needed a receiver and grounding mechanism to connect to the circuit.

His journal from the experiments describes involving the ionosphere for propagation of the energy, and the Earth's telluric currents, both longitudinal and transverse waves to complete the circuit. By sending out a free current via the emitting coil placed at a high elevation from the ground, with a subsequent grounding apparatus connected deep in the Earth's crust,

He spent over a year doing research and experiments in Colorado Springs involving high voltage resonant transformers, formed along the same lines as his coils. He believed that the Earth itself could be used as a giant conductor to transmit energy wirelessly to any point on the globe.

tesla had many patens, both in his home country and the usa, but the patent office keeping track of who was using his inventions was a whole diffrent story.

I have read up on it. Extensively. I'm an ee. The impedence of both the earth and the atmosphere are to great to effectively transmit energy. I can light a 40W flourescent light at a few meters with as little as 200W of RF, but because of the inverse square law, power loss beyond a few meters is too great.

To put it another way, just because someone invented the screw, doesn't mean that they deserve the credit for every invention that uses screws. If I start making screws and don't pay the patent holder, and he never seeks his share, that's his F**king fault. Tesla ALWAYS sucked with his money. He could have been the first billionaire. Instead he died poor. That's NO ONES fault but his.

If transmitting power and his 'death ray' really worked we'd all have grown up with it. It doesn't exist now because it didn't work then. If Marconi used Tesla's patents, why don't you cite them instead of spreading myths? There isn't a single patented device today that doesn't use numerous other patents. All inventions capitalize on previous tech.

He invented NEITHER. Hertz and Marconi were trasmitting information a full 12 YEARS before Tesla applied for his radio patent in 1900. Tesla LEARNED of AC in university, and was told by hid professors that it wasn't practical. Tesla was the first to invent equipment to make that which was ALREADY KNOWN into a commercial reality. That's a BIG step from 'inventing AC'.

Hertz and Marconi were trasmitting information a full 12 YEARS before Tesla applied for his radio patent in 1900. James Maxwell showed that waves of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that travel through empty space, and do so at the speed of light. His paper "A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field" was published in 1864!! Tesla probably still had mothers milk dripping down his chin in 1864.

Buahahaha!!! You've GOT to be kidding! Now Tesla invented the F**king WEB!?? All you Telsa diests are a f'ing JOKE. His 'power transmitter' and 'death ray were both dismal failures. Anyone can get a patent. A patent does NOT mean that something works or has been peer reviewed.

not fake.

Hmm... that's why the man had hundreds of patents to his name. To be honest, a lot of the things he even theorized are in use today.. including the web...

this is fake
