    As I recall Tesla at one time or another was suing everybody like another contemporary character. At any rate he had this law suit pending when he died over Radio and it was decided after he died by...

    Bum dope. I stand with what I said. They were experimenting with it a decade earlier in Europe. He made it practical and invented the generators to produce it.
  3. Does it compensate for the wobble of the Earth...

    Does it compensate for the wobble of the Earth and "The Equation of Time?" Actually it's not efficient because on cloudy days it doesn't work.

    Har har.

    Well, yea that be the whole idea that there's no free lunch and no Perpetual Motion Machine.
  5. Yes, I have one. It's a matter of reducing the...

    Yes, I have one. It's a matter of reducing the energy required. A self winding watch uses wrist motion which is excess energy like a solar watch that used the sun or light. The Atmos uses temperature...

    Well, common sense says nothing is permanent and perpetual motion machines don't exist. It's not that you need energy to get it going, you need energy to keep it going.

    To my knowledge the closest...

    Now isn't that basically what I said? I guess when a Physicist says it, it sounds more authoritative.

    Har har.

    Yea, you be creating friction which can create a flow of electrons however the energy required to create the force will equal the energy produced so you basically get nothing. Now wrap some wire...
  9. The answer to your question lies in "How do you...

    The answer to your question lies in "How do you generate an electrical field"? Well, Magnets and magnetism are a "Force" but they generate no energy by themselves. You can spin them any way you want...
  10. No, he was using a coal fired generator to...

    No, he was using a coal fired generator to produce the "seed current" and then use the earth via these tunnels filled with liquid Nitrogen or something to then draw energy from the earth and amplify...
  11. Yea like I said he had a settlement with...

    Yea like I said he had a settlement with Westinghouse which paid his bills to a point but the money ran out.

    He was going to make electric cars but they used steam and during WWl no one had...

    During his final years he started at the Woolworth Bldg and couldn't pay the rent and moved from place to place owing considerable sums of money. He wound up at the Hotel New Yorker and died there in...

    What don't you agree with?
  14. No there was a settlement with the Westinghouse...

    No there was a settlement with the Westinghouse Corp that provided for his expenses.

    He died alone in a crummy hotel and his body wasn't found for days later. Much of his work was stolen by a...

    Yea, he spent the rest of his life in a Hotel in Manhattan slowly going crazy until he was evicted and died penniless.

    Unfortunately there is all this hype surrounding him and it has grown over...

    The only thing I saw was a generator using steam and an airspring which in the end didn't work.

    There is no free lunch and no perpetual motion machine. Nothing works by itself. It requires some...
  17. Do you mean a tesla coil to produce electricity?...

    Do you mean a tesla coil to produce electricity? He used it to send electricity through the air but it requires very high voltage to charge the system and some humongous capacitors to store current...
