the air*

That's the whole point, not having to pay electric bill, any of you.

The boy’s book of new inventions – The Tesla Turbine” 1912: “But most of your research has been in electricity,” Tesla was reminded, for no one can forget that Tesla’s inventions largely have made possible most of the world’s greatest electrical power developments.

“Yes,” he answered, “but I was a mechanical engineer before I was an electrical engineer, and besides, this principle was worked on in the course of my search for the ideal motor for airships, to be used in conjunction with my invention for the wireless transmission of electrical power. For twenty years I worked on the problem, but I have not given up. When my plan is perfected the present-day aeroplanes and dirigible balloons will disappear, and the dangerous sport of aviation, as we know it now with its hundreds of accidents, and its picturesque birdmen, will give way to safe, seaworthy airships, without wings or gas bags, but supported and driven by mechanical means.


“As I told you before when we were talking of the wireless transmission of power, the mechanism will be a development of the principle on which my turbine is constructed. It will be so tremendously powerful that it will make a veritable rope of air above the great machine to hold it at any altitude the navigators may choose, and also a rope of air in front or in the rear to send it forward or backward at almost any speed desired. When that day comes, airship travel will be as safe and prosaic as travel by railroad train today, and not much very different, except that there will be no dirt, and it will be much faster. One will be able to dine in New York, retire in an aero Pullman berth in a closed and perfectly furnished car, and arise to breakfast in London.”

We would be living like gods and traversing the universe

Tesla is not against theory or calculation.

He is against bullshit.

I wonder what wikipedia would have said about science if it existed 300 years ago

Anyone here have any experience with undergraduate research? Would you recommend it?

The Wardenclyffe tower, thought up by Nikola Tesla had the potential to "pump" electrical energy between vast distances without interconnecting wires, thus making it possible to run everything on electricity regardless how far you are from the nearest power source. Was it flawed or what?

Radiowaves powerful enough to be used to transfer meaningful amounts of energy would kill your reproductive capabilites and give you cancer.

What op is talking about is electromagnetic induction.

They use electromagnetic induction. Vacom has been powering their pens on their drawing tablets with induction for 10 years or more.

Since 2008, huge improvements have been made in applying electromagnetic induction in wireless energy transfer (bacl when the experimental setups had a range of only 1-2 meters).

anyone :-D

Hey, /sci/. Was Tesla's idea right here?

(Wireless electricity)

If so, how come we aren't doing it today?
