Yay! for Alternating Current.


Tesla is one of my Heroes.

I love that he concludes that Radiation sickness is due to the formation of Ozone or nitric acid where Longitudinal em waves encounter the skin...

Lets invent something Tesla would have had he branched out into other fields...

INTELECTUAL PROPERTY: Maglev Aircraft and Launcher/Landing-field.

The Plane will be accelerated to the speed of Sound by the Magnetic Launcher, and Land on the Same maglev 'track'. It doesnt need wheels or under carriage thus reducing the weight and systems needed for mechanical systems. This could be expanded to include a Space Shuttle.

I found this picture of Mark Twain in Tesla's lab a month or so ago and was completely stoked. Two figures from history that I would most like to sit and talk with in the same picture.

Sorry. He's a comic book writer, and he wrote this. A lot of his stories reference Tesla.

Sweet!

I haven't regularly bought comics in over a dozen years, but have kinda been wanting to ease back into some part of it. That looks kinda neat. I'll check it out. Thanks, Taig.

There are a bunch of folks down there who get to shovel coal to power that generator. Edison is more likely to be enjoying hard labour...

Edison was a workaholic so I was thinking an appropriate punishment would be to make him watch a machine created by his rival and force him to do nothing.

Far better to have him work in toil to that machine..."Sixteen Tons and what do I get?"


A dead Flumph?
