ORIGINAL: Anaxagoras I think R0 got the idea of the Tesla car from the occasional threads on the Interweb about his theories. In some versions he (Tesla, not R0) drove to Nu Yorke in a modified car that could reach speeds of 90 miles per hour. Thats pretty impressive in 1931! Even more impressive was that it had no energy source except the um... cosmic aether. It used a mysterous black box with twelve tubes. Even Wiki has an entry on the story http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_electric_car - now there's some real proof for Ron of a working model as the guy who came up with the story 25 years after Tesla's death was related to Tesla, and those tubes could be cranked to get some great sounds... but wiki said he did it, and who are YOU to argue with wiki? LMAO This from a guy who treats guys dicking about in their basements as incontestable proof that the laws of physics (and Gubmemamafiafia) are wrong? It wasn’t merely wiki “saying it”, these nutty stories are all over the web. I suggest you store up your “LMAO’s” for another occasion! quote:
In Colorado Springs Tesla carried out various long distance wireless transmission-reception experiments. Tesla effect is the application of a type of electrical conduction (that is, the movement of energy through space and matter; not just the production of voltage across a conductor). Through longitudinal waves,[citation needed] Tesla transferred energy to receiving devices. He sent electrostatic forces through natural media across a conductor situated in the changing magnetic flux and transferred electrical energy to a wireless receiver. Here R0 quotes another wiki page. Wiki is widely known to be an open source forum so it cannot be treated as gospel because even illooninati like R0 could post up "facts". The quality of each entry depends on whether it is well sourced as the pages I linked to here were. Note the little "[citation needed]" when longitudinal waves are mentioned!
