Nikola Tesla

For many years now I have been fascinated by this man. Friday I received two books in the post, courtesy of my daughter, (she knows her father well)
My Inventions and Colorado Sprig Notes.
Have started to read the first and I have to say that I am enthralled.

uglymusic

Yeah. A great man, indeed.

I studied physics a while ago (not with Newton, before anyone says it!), so it's some time since I read anything about him.

He was an extortionary man, whilst I understand little of his technicalities, the proof is in the pudding? I'm sure with your background in physics you would understand it better than I. The books, however are good. I am great full to my daughter.

He accused me, wrongly, so I dropped an apple on his head.

According to the song it's...

"Electro-magnetic, completely kinetic"

Don't consume long dead pop stars, it won't be your hair falling out, more likely your large intestine

The more I read of this first book, the more I am amazed. I knew of some and had heard hints of others. Not got to the end yet, but so far a much under estimated force imo.
Wireless Transmission, Free electricity!

Finished the second book today, far to much to take in. This man was so prolific! If it is as I understand then its a real shame that his later works, notes have disappeared but if just half of what I have just read is true, I can (sort of) know why.

uglymusic

Ooh! I don't think I know about that.

Apparently so. His last accommodations in a certain hotel were paid for by Westinghouse. Shortly after his death, (hours), the rooms were cleared of all paperwork by persons unknown (documented). Whilst I'm not a great conspiracy believer, if true it makes you wonder? I will definitely be reading more.

It was the FBI

So, he was perceived as some kind of threat, is that right? The New Yorker Hotel was interesting in its own right built over miles of tunnels, corridors to the subway and enormous generators, far more than  it could ever need? 

AntiCrap

Dave why deleted?
Just back from London St Pauls well back a 5.00PM just woke having a anaphylactic shock thing, Maria loves to stab needle in me.
Whilst there I met our old buddy Howard, he gave me a thin but interesting book on Tesla and others, when I get chance Dave inbetweener choking I copy the info to you.

uglymusic

He asked for his account to be deleted.

I hope you're feeling better, Col.

Got to by the CIA after his comments on Tesla and the FBI
