I would like to comment about the comments below refering to Tesla's understanding of the role of the ionosphere. He was wrong! We was thinking interms of...

A couple of sayings I learned as a brash youth: "Engage brain before opening mouth." "We resort to profanity when reason fails." Still true over 70 years...
... Start of Reply. ... Am I reading the statement above out of context or are you agreeing that constants are variable ? My posts title & context suggest a...
Ed, you seem to feel that the absence of the words "longitudinal wave" *prove beyond any doubt* that Tesla had no ideas along these lines. From another of...
Tesla wrote that he first hit upon to the Earth Resonance concept when measuring EM signals from nearby thunderstorms, and he noticed that the signals slowly...
... Lighting Conductiors and Guards Oliver Lodge 1892 Mentions the earth likely to resonate about 17.mumble Hz. (THAT book I can find. Also available as...
David. Tesla was an inventor, not a theoretical physicist. Einstein did not invent anything, as I recall, but rather developed equations for a number of very...
Core issue, the spark is a negative resistance. As the current increases, the voltage decreases because the plasma gets hotter. As long as the plasma does not...
Sure. Take your best. I was trying to figure out if I should be nice or charge you for my time on the design and research. You do know that the vendors I cited...
... ...and it is worthy perhaps, in pondering public perception, that Einstein had Essentially NOTHING to do with 'the bomb', save some 'public' (private,...
This kind of behavior is 1. sometimes a result of knowing the correct answer and not listening to nonsense. 2. a common behavior for many if not all of us at...
... Would it be accurate to say that the spark (more especially an arc) IS an amplifier, in the same sensen as a vacuum tube, a transistor, mag amp, carbon...
Not sure a carbon mike meets the criteria, but for the others, sure. A tunnel diode is a great example as well. Actually on thinking on it, it is not clear to...

Forced to agree. Near as I can tell, he spent his later years trying to fing a theory of everything (GUT I believe), and failed totally." Typical of many (but...

I would be more generous. They tend, after doing the easy stuff (all of which based, usually, on ground work by many many others) to focus on a problem that...
Gee Ed, I suggest you pick up a biography on Tesla and rethink your statement about Tesla and his lack of commercially viable products. You can start with ...
