Once again, I suggest you actually learn how to respond to posts properly, rather than merely colouring in text. quote:

ORIGINAL: mnottertail Personally, if you could get standing waves out of the fucking things, you still wouldn't have any more than a dick in one hand and a whiskey bottle in the other. The Electro Magnetic Spectrum is not gonna carry your electricity when and where you want it in the organization you want it in. First off, the entire World Gubfia cannot afford such transmitters (yeh a few wires to build a few coils is so fucking expensive compared to the power lines now run on every street! Flush the turd already!) (were they possible, which they ain't----that pesky magnetic shit they always tack onto the electro part), and the second reason will be left as an exercise to the reader (here's a hint, it is embedded in the first one, using these things >>>> '( )'). Even Tesla fan Thomas Kelley was a bit embarrassed by the bullshit about his electric power transmission. From his lengthy text "The Tesla Genius": http://www.scribd.com/doc/92868057/The-Tesla-Genius Try to keep up with the points I am making, the text you coloured in relates to a point Ron made, not myself. quote:
quote:
Tesla was quite sure of his preeminence in wireless technology as he arrived in Colorado Springs, Colorado in May of 1899… Tesla had maintained for some time that the earth was an efficient conductor, suitable for all-points transmission of electric power. His tests, in early July, with the giant Tesla Coil (which he called his “Magnifying Transmitter”) seemed to support his theory of the conducting earth. Now, ever since I first heard of Tesla, I was told that Tesla succeeded in transmitting power effciently over a distance of about 20 miles, and lighting up a 20kW load (or variations thereof). The following is a typical example: “In actuality, he lighted more than 200 incandescent lamps 26 miles away” (McBirnie 1987, 2). So, it would seem that Tesla successfully tied together the transmission of information and electric power from one station. However, it’s time to burst the apocryphal bubble that supports this legend. In all my research of this matter, I have not find any definitive evidence to support the assertion that Tesla had in fact performed this demonstration. Cheney ([1981] 1983, 148–149) offers the best explanation of what may have actually happened: It has been reported by various writers that during his power trans-mission experiments in Colorado, Tesla succeeded in lighting up a bank of two hundred 50-watt incandescent lamps wirelessly, at a distance of twenty-six miles from his station. In his own writings, however, no such claim was ever made, nor is there other evidence that he did so. Ok so he claims no claim was made No Kelley doesn't state that "no claim was made". He quotes another article stating that the author cannot find any actual claim made directly by Tesla. It is Kelley who claims that no adequate evidence was provided of the experiments, rather than claiming that Tesla didn't claim it. Try to keep up. quote:
Though Tesla thought that he had passed a current around the earth capable of lighting 200 incandescent lights. So then tesla did make the claim, make up your fucking mind already!It is likely that Tesla really didn’t demonstrate the viability of transmitting power and information while he was in Colorado. Once again you are stripping the points of context. Kelley quoted a passage, agreeing with much of it but then noted that Tesla had thought he had actually pulled the event off. Note the word "Though" immediately after the quote. If you are going to reply, do try at least to read the passages you are critiquing properly. quote:
Furthermore, he didn’t produce any new marketable meaning MONEY MAKING inventions from the Colorado experiments. But his letters to financiers and entrepreneurs promised fortunes from the wireless technology based on these experiments. Unfortunately for Tesla, the rest of the pioneering radio engineers had caught up with him… Is there something wrong with making money? That's what many of these early scientists sought to do, as in make a living. If Tesla didn't intend to make money from his work then he took money under false pretences from his financiers. quote:
Posthumously, Tesla won a U.S. Supreme Court decision against Marconi and others, essentially declaring Tesla the “father” of radio. But it was some forty years too late for Tesla. Even if the decision had occurred on a timely basis, the Serbian-born genius would have pursued his own goals all the more furiously, even though it was already apparent that the world wanted something else from the fruits of his genius. Again a blatant strawman attempt so very typical of your style. No one on here said Tesla wasn't a great scientist, the opposite in fact - he was praised for his AC wire system etc. He did make a number of very important innovations with early wireless technology but that related to the conventional broadcast of radio signals, which Marconi then adapted. Once again you are obfuscating by trying to mix up his genuine achievements with his more dubiouscontested ones, as you already did regarding his standard mains AC system. quote:
I suppose if JP Morgan is the world! What a worthless propaganda hit piece! Where did you dig that shit up from? I dug this "shit" up from page one or two of a Tesla Google search. I suggest you try the same to hear another perspective. Kelley is actually a very knowledgeable source on Tesla, and very positive about his body of work overall. What evidence do you have to suggest this is a propagandistic (i.e. politically motivated) attack on Tesla's reputation?
