Nikola tesla Definition and 15 Threads

I came across this video where Dr. Tyson talks about Nikola Tesla. Neil Tyson on Tesla. From 4:47 onwards, he says "We now send energy through wires", and talks about how bizarre it would be to walk around/stand in the way of such energy flow. Further he says the power transmission lines are...

I was reading about Nikola Tesla in his autobiography where he constantly talks about "static". Do you know what that is? He also talks about solving statics. Here's a quote from the book, "Its introduction for telegraphic, telephonic and similar uses will automatically cut out the statics and...

Summary:: Based on his Autobiography I was reading Nikola Tesla's ideas. He thought of deriving power from the rotational energy of terrestrial bodies. Are you aware of that? He says, " I had discovered that objects on the Earth's surface, owing to the diurnal rotation of the globe, are...

I spend a lot of my time simulating circuits whose salient feature is their tendency to surge. I like all surges, but especially those which have any potential to be managed... http://is.gd/constcurr The non-manageable ones tend to blow up very suddenly... http://is.gd/kaboomopamp My favorite...

I was browsing the forum and it seems to be that Nikola Tesla is a generally unliked and unpreferred guy around here, due to him being overrated and hyped. Is this really true? He seems just like every other physicist and he seems to have done some good work which definitely deserves some hype...

Most of his work is pretty straight-forward and can be explain easily with words but did he have any contribution with mathematics or use any advance maths in his work?

Nikola Tesla is probably the greatest inventor that the world ever knew. His inventions are used world wide and he has left his mark on this world through his inventions. Now what I am wondering is where did all these rumors and hype come from about Tesla and aliens and free energy and...

And did he have patent/s for it... I understand that their are a lot of hoaxes and unsourced information out there so I want to know if there is some truth to the claim. I understand that energy can not be created or destroyed but what free energy is referring to is energy that is released...

Which do you think of the two contributed most to humankind.

So I only recently discovered Nikola Tesla and the unfinished project of Wardenclyffe - It's apparent purpose was not only to transfer electrical signals wirelessly, but also Tesla claimed it had the potential to supply limitless energy everywhere around the world? Is there any truth to...

Nikola Tesla's work has always fascinated me. I've always heard stories and claims of Telsa's ability to be able to wirelessly power light blubs and I always found the idea intriguing. I've been doing some research on his experiments, or rather I've been trying. I'm finding it pretty hard to...

I was just watching a biography on Nikola Tesla. Do any of you know about this Wardenclyffe tower he built with the intent of somehow collecting radiant energy in the ionosphere? I believe he also expirimented with the transmission of electricty, either through the ionosphere or the Earth...

I have been intensly studying the work of stan meyers as of recent to attempt a contraption that will charge distilled water with no electrolyte with amped up current to break apart the H2O bonds without force but to allow them to collapse by distorting the angle at which the bonds are formed...

1. The problem is that I have to create a two-minute presentation on Nikola Tesla and I'm not sure what I can show that is of interest (i.e. model, etc.) I've tried making powerpoints but I have found that they aren't as interesting as models etc. Thanks

what do you think about nikola tesla's inventions? i know the resonence frequency has some truth in it. but it can't collapse a skyscraper. but all the "crap infomation" on the net providing that tesla invented a "death ray" i think they put more emfasis on the name than nessairy. is...
