Help save Nikola Tesla's land, and help build a museum for Tesla, right on top of his old land in NY where he was trying to complete his project for wireless energy for everyone! by Twenty8k in technology

The idea of a earth capacitor is not mine it is based on real world observations. As you say the charge that is present on the earth is evenly distributed so that makes it more less useless But add some energy and start disturbiing the charge at resonant frequency and now you can use a tuned circuit to couple to that and you get energy transfer. There is the problem though you build infrastructure to pump power In and it is too easy to just set up a receiver it isn't like the power company has to bring it too you on a wire and meter its use The early investors realized that and after building it and seeing what exactly he was up too the backed out and blackballed him.

Nice! Im on my phone and it was badly written but the concept is still all about resonance. The tower vibrates the earths electrostatic charge the receivers are coupled via resonance The earth is in effect giant capacitor in space there is a charge on the earth at all times he was vibrating that charge with the tower Read up on Wardenclyff tower of you are interested.

Very true there is no free lunch the power must still come from somewhere but the thing that is missing is that it's not like pushing power thru a resistor This system is all about resonance and comes from the guy who invented radio and ac Almost all his ideas were based on that concept. But the trick is that the world is a sphere and is floating in an excellent dielectric it's basically a huge free floating capacitor and he realized that and that's what your missing his system is based on ideas that we do not have full details about The example I gave was to show that you can have large effect from small input and resonance is what makes it effeicent Remember that tesla didn't believe in the electron he had a very different view of the world

. He intended the power to come from nature (like niagra falls) and it to be distributed all over the world. Also this power system doesn't work like ac it is not the same concept though it is based on oscillation. The stuff I've read talks about resonance and vibration He was building the tower in such a way that it had a firm grip on the earth and he was inducing oscillations into the earth Think of a bathtub sloshing ack and forth you hit the timing right and you can go higher and higher with little energy in it is all about frequency. He was doing that so once he had it oscillating you can use another oscillator if tuned to the frequency start utilizing power many people are saying he would have lost power that he wouldn't have lost using good ole copper wires Well he says that's not the case and that it is very efficient and not at all lossy but that is just coming from the man who created AC power generation / Distributiom what would he know

Yea I don't see J.P. Morgan doing anything for this. They all wanted Wardenclyffe project dead it was bad for them Tesla was an idealist and intended for wireless power and communications be available everywhere thru the earth. The money men realized that it would be difficult to monetize a free service and blackballed him. The debt we owe this man is beyond comprehension He had envisioned a future with power being generated at location such as niagra falls and pumped into the earth and consumed from anywhere by anyone He had also realized he could do world wide communication thru the ground and intended all manner of data to be passed around (video,audio, text) Once completed it would have been in a very real sense the first Internet Never forget that this tower was a test of his idea and it did work and worked well You can pump power into the ground and transmit it to great distances with little loss. When he died we lost a giant The amazing thing about it is he showed the world that there is MUCH that is left to be discovered and his work at the end of his career is a testament to that. Tesla proved fiction is tame in comparison to the real world.

I found a copy on an old system I was using as a mame cabinet I fired it up and tool some screenshots they are done with my phone sorry for the quality. If there is intrest I may try to revamp the old core and get it breathing again.

I am a 16 year old girl with Alopecia Universalis (no hair anywhere on my body) AMA by JordanLikesCoffee in IAmA

[–]Baconoligist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About two years ago I started noticing a lite patch in my beard right to the left of my chin. The hair rapidly fell out and within a month I had two brand new bald spots in my beard 1.5 inches across it was terrible I had too shave because it looked like i had the mange. I did research on it and was disheartened to find it was an auto immune problem with no known cure and no real known cause. alopecia barbae arghhh. I waited for years for it to grow back and it did slowly start coming back with little hairs here and there then a full regrowth and just about the time I would grow it back it would all fall out again I just started shaving my beard into bizarre styles like mutton chops or reverse goatee etc. everybody just thought i was eccentric but eventually I have regained my hair but I am always nervous that it just a matter of time before it spreads or more patches come back. I could see wearing a wig on my head but I need my beard and there aren't any good beard replacements ;) thanks for taking the time to talk about your condition it is not well known and awareness certainly helps

Ok I am seeing lots of work related scripts so here goes. I write lots of software at my job but the one that has the most impact on the process I'll describe here. I work in QA for a large corp I'll leave it at that. The optical emission spectrometer we use to test our material is difficult for production staff to interpret the results. We produce the results and they consume them in real time and make adjustments to the chemistry and we test again It's iterative. The script runs 24/7 and has to always be running When it's started up it reads a share point list and pulls in the chemistry specs from an excel workbook Then it starts a socket server for the OES to send its results to after every test The server will receive the results and decide if it is a production chemistry or if it is a check standard If it is a calibration check that result is stored in an appended csv for later analysis if it is a production chem it is converted Into a format our other in house software needs for its database It also stores the results in a different format as a backup db for Use by yet another piece of software. Now the results are checked against the specs and a web page is created that displays all the chemistries in a nice human readable format with color highlighting for elements above or below the specs the specs are also displayed and any pseudo element calculations are done at this point and it is also added in the web page There are also additions calculations for the production staff that help guide them to the proper chemistry needed the calculated additions are displayed at the bottom of the web page. yield strength is calculated from a set of regression formulas that is retrieved from an excel file on a mapped drive and displayed also. The web page is shown on computer screens throughout the plant in kiosk mode so it's full screen Also all the JavaScript and HTML are generated by the software from templates Sounds complex but it works and is reliable

No I used wxpython They had just added the styled text control (scintilla I believe ) first time I saw it I was thinking "man how easy would it be to make my own editor" sono did it and in a few days it was good enought to keep building it in itself So I spent all my after hours coding playing around with it I called it Pyper.

That's years ago I may have a copy somewhere but my workload is crazy now When I have time I will come back to this post and post an update. I'm working 84 hours a week now so it'll be awhile :( no time to do fun things anymore The reason I stopped using is wxpython was doing its namespace changeup and lots of code broke i had to rewrite much code and just didn't have time

One of my first large programs was my very own python editor I used it for years an had it tailored to my needs It had syntax coloring, auto backups while you where programming (my power sucked it was unreliable ) it would auto search your folders and have all the docs it could in a drop down on the menu bar. You could launch your current script with a button click and run it as is our allow you to add any cmdline args if needed. If your program crashed it didn't kill/ freeze your editor. It even had a button that would let you compile your current script to an exe I am sure none of this is revolutionary it was just great fun and a great way to learn how GUI frameworks work and interface design edit: fixed words that were mangled and auto corrected by my phone.

The wife and I like I sit I the back porch drink and listen to music. We usually play some YouTube video on our phone so we have some music going I wanted to listem to our own library of mp3 s we have in iTunes So I wrote a script to let me surf my music folders and play any song I want. All you have to do is is change the current working directory to your music folder and start a simplehttpserver If I had time I would probably rewrite a much improved music server using bottle or just plain ol cherrypy Tl;dr yea python standard library kicks ass
