Im Curious about Tesla and his experiments... Advice needed

I didn't mean I've always wanted to be the first to make a railgun.. lol.. I'm sure researchers have been playing with it for years..

I wonder if you could have contacts on the inside of your "barrel", that activated each electromagnet just as the projectile was entering range to be pulled forward by the magnet.. You might have to develop some system so that the projectile doesen't go inside the barrel and get stuck.. just hover in one spot.. I'm not really sure how the whole thing would come together.. I'm going to find a couple of solenoid electromagnets with a through hole, and play around...
 
Not to mention the particle beam weapon he demonstrated for the Russians.

Levatation, balls of light floating in his hand, takeing x-rays from 40 yards away, bouncing signals off the moon down to precise spots on earth, research by him and Einstien led to the Philadelphia Experiment,
the list goes on. Forgotten and definantly underapreciated. People like him help keep me jaded because we STILL cannont do much of what he did.

And the band was great too.. 😀
 

He also designed efficient turbine engines (which people are trying to build today) and messed with resonent frequencies in structures.

Also look into Marconi vs. Tesla on the invention of the radio.

We owe so much to the man, imagine life with DC power instead of AC.

if one wanted to read about this, where would one go?
 
Like other's have said here. Tesla was a genius, an underappreciated one at that. He really did have some incredible experiments. Imagine someone with Tesla's mind in today's world.

Anyone who's interested in him, the PBS documentary is very good.
 
Wasnt he the one that supposedly caused that huge fireball or something over in siberia (halfway around the world)?
 
Yep, that's one of the theories. That he accidently caused the mass destruction of forest in Siberia.. We may never know for sure, though..

I wonder if there is any info about electromagnetic, or "rail" guns online...

heh, if you search for "rail gun", you'll probably get all these quake sites..

Wow.. there's actually a lot of resources online on the subject..

😀
 
Philadelphia Experiment

I still like how C&C: Red Alert has this option, the Chronosphere. I wonder if there is any truth to the Philadelphia Experiment, or if someone just ate too many mushrooms they found in the woods, ?
 
I don't really know a whole lot about it, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit...
 
I thought Einstein was involved in the Philidelphia Experiment... Am i mistaken?
 

Phil. exper. - fact or fantasy?

(a small excerpt)

The Philadelphia Experiment has become a saga of strange occurrences and peculiar coincidences. It should
be noted that Allende firmly believes the Navy was completely unaware of the side effects the Philadelphia
Experiment would produce on the crew members. Allende is also quoted as saying: "I believe that further
experiments would naturally have produced controlled transport of great tonnages at ultra-fast speeds to
a desired point the instant it is desired. "(Allende). A full report of the Experiment was given to Congress
and the members were so horrified that they disbanded the project immediately. However, research
continued at the Montauk Project, a.k.a. the Phoenix Project, which was headed by Dr. John von Neumann,
who also directed the Philadelphia Experiment. The Montauk Project centered mostly on how the mind reacts
to interdimensional travel. It took place at the Brookhaven National Laboratories. Von Neumann attempted
to link computers with minds and was apparently successful beyond his wildest dreams. Using this computer
-human link, Von Neumann could affect others minds and was eventually able to open a time vortex back to
1943 to the Philadelphia Experiment. He even made claims that the mind could created matter at any point
in time. He also claimed to have sent a man named Preston B. Nichols through two times lines, a fact which
was actually confirmed by Duncan Cameron in 1985 (Montauk). Cameron was trained by the National
Security Agency, so his testimony is valid. Many people believe that the Montauk Project is continuing to
this day, although much of the information available about it is only rumor.
 

Thomas Edison, in one of his many dirty tricks, while in a fierce debate over whether America would be
using AC (Tesla) or DC (Edison), invented the electric chair for executing murderers, just to show
how dangerous AC was. Thankfully, more logical minds prevailed, and we use AC today at great savings.

 


<< Can anyone point me to a good book or website about Tesla and his experiments... Im very curious about all of the research he did with electricity...

Thanks 🙂 >>




Search on Google under "tesla coil" and construction. You'll find bunch of plans on building a famous tesla coil. You'll need self brew capacitors, neon transformer or power company's pole transformer, hand eye coordination and TONS of patient. I contemplated on making one,but I didn't.
 


<< If I remember correctly, Tesla had a way to send electrical power using something like radio waves and could light incandescent lamps miles away using some type of transmitter. I don't think they've been able to duplicate it yet. >>



Sure we can do that, nothing exiting about that, the reason it is not done is because anybody could stick up an antenna and intercept the power, there would be no way to meter the use therefore no way to CHARGE for the power. When power generation is free then perhaps we could use this system.
 
Yep. We could do that, but there wouldn't be any way for the power company to meter, and make any money. Sad, isn't it?
