/sci/ - Science & Math

In a 1911 article from The Sun Tesla describes his flying machine:

>"Dr. Nikola Tesla leaned back against his chair at the Waldorf last night and talked calmly of airships without planes, propellers or any of the other gear of the now familiar aeroplanes hurtling through space at tremendous speeds or driving more slowly carrying great loads, and in either case always as safely as the most prosaic of wheeled vehicles."

>"...How about aerial navigation?" Dr. Tesla was asked. He considered for a moment or two and then replied with great deliberation:

>"The application of this principle will give the world a flying machine unlike anything that has ever been suggested before. It will have no planes, no screw propellers or devices of any kind hitherto used. It will be small and compact, excessively swift, and, above all, perfectly safe in the greatest storm. It can be built of any size and can carry any weight that may be desired"

You all live in the fucking stone age.

Hey /sci/ I've been looking into Nikola Tesla and his inventions lately and i have been wondering, was he on to something with wardenclyffe tower?

I am unwilling to accord to some small-minded and jealous individuals the satisfaction of having thwarted my efforts. These men are to me nothing more than microbes of a nasty disease. My project was retarded by laws of nature.

The world was not prepared for it.

It was too far ahead of time, but the same laws will prevail in the end and make it a triumphal success.

Tesla Coils. Lots of them. Nuff' said.
