That's collecting *free* Energy in space and beaming it back to power stations on ground. Not beaming it into houses which would be the point of Teslas system or any system designed to distribute energy rather than produce it.

Yeah, initially but as the tech improves the delivery system will improve as well. Anyway this convo is way the fuck off topic so I'm gonna drop it.

During World War 1, the British government had to pay women not to cuck their husbands while they were off fighting.

They probably took the money and then cucked them anyway.

The first ever recorded strike in human history was in ancient Egypt. A squad of workers (don't you ever think jew slaves build the pyramids, filthy goy) got their payment in grain delayed and when they arrived to the construction place, they sat down and refused to work. The next day they were paid and returned to work.

The next day they were paid and returned to work.

It is pretty unlikely that the events of Exodus occurred at all as described. There is no indication there was ever mass Jewish slavery, although it is pretty likely that like most other non-Egyptian ethnicities, there were some Jewish slaves. They would never have been used to build the pyramids, though. The workers who built the pyramids were highly skilled and highly paid and, as this incident showed, even influential enough that they could simply refuse to work and not being easily replaceable, get what they wanted.

Trash from an archaeological site assumed to have been for pyramid builders shows lots of animal bones indicating a large part of their diet was meat, not something you'd feed slaves but definitely something you'd want to feed strong workers.

There's a reason slaves were (with some exceptions) usually used for menial, unskilled tasks, and Egypt was not particularly enamored of slavery although they did have some.

The book "Tales of Genji" written in the early 11th cenutry in Japan is considered the first novel. It's a story about an imperial prince that is demoted to being a commoner for political reasons and the book itself is about his romantic exploits and court etiquette. It was written by Murasaki Shikibu

Spoiler: I don't want to shit up the thread any more with this nonsense

The guy is a research engineer at the University of Washington.

So? Use the same amount of "extensive googling" and look up engineers debunking this tower nonsense. It's not like it's a consensus amongst researchers that this thing would have worked as intended, this whole point is moot. By making your own source look like a silly fanboy, you're not particularly helping your case.
As I said, he's clearly a gushing fanboy and throws around terminology in a way that makes it look pretty unreliable. If he's got an explanation of how and why this shit is supposed to work, where he doesn't come across like your regular Tesla Fanboy, that might be a bit better to post instead of going for such a lame and pointless "gotcha".
The way your guy described this whole thing, I'd say we don't need Tesla's tower since apparently, the energy should be sufficiently available in our atmosphere as is.
So why does no one just built such a tower and get all this delicious free power? Why isn't any government doing this to become independent from coal, gas and other fuels?
Oh right, cause the stuff the guy wrote is pseudoscientific drivel (most likely not even related to what Tesla intended with Wardenclyffe Tower in the first place) and the meanderings of a fanboys gushing. I'm ever so impressed.

He's been interviewed as an expert on several TV shows and has a substantial CV.

The same is true for Dr. Axel Stoll and he firmly believed that there's Nazis literally living inside the hollow earth, on the moon and Hitler was the King of Aldebaraan.
Your point? I remain unimpressed.

I'm not an engineer but as I said I have a family member who works on precisely this type of stuff in critical infrastructure and he's always been a fan of Tesla as well.

My uncle at Nintendo wants me to tell you that he's not impressed.

I understand the inverse square law

You clearly don't. I even supplied numbers to put this whole thing into perspective. 60 miles of cable experience a loss of 1%. meanwhile, Tesla's tower would have to waste literally 90% of its output over a very short distance. This is a bad system, even with the magical "We turn the atmosphere into a giant battery" bullshit, since a) that would require far more energy than humanity could produce, b) the assumption that this magically somehow works without losses is ludicrous and c) the idea that his somehow is sustainable is simply retarded. Humanity doesn't have enough energy at its disposal to charge up the atmosphere like this and if we did, it would generate losses left and right as well as fucking with everything and everyone constantly.

Things in nature, especially electricity, want to stay together.

Cause electrons attract each other now, I guess.

A lightning cloud is just a super charged electrical battery in a very wast area

This is the meteorological equivalent of "Piss is stored in the balls". Just sayin'.

Afterall Tesla worked on these things his whole life. I think if anything he understood the inverse square law himself, wouldn't you think?

Dude, Tesla was a smart guy, but not everything he came up with was perfect, thought through or applicable.
You might wanna read up inverse square law and what an experiment is. The short answer: "Do something and see what happens", which is what Telsa was going with that tower.

While any certain point 1 mile away would have very little energy, perhaps barely enough to support a few lightbulbs, the flow of electricity through more conductive materials would sweep charges from distant points in the air and atmosphere, diverting them to say your TV and kitchen appliances.

You know what's really fucking good at doing this?
Cables. Another upside is that you don't have to rely on ridiculous "and then somehow energy finds its way into your home
And this is what I am talking about. Your (and the guys) whole descritpion of this system is
1) Build large tower
2) magic happens
3) Free Energy for everyone that is literally generated out of thin air!

Yeah, sounds quite well founded within physics, doesn't it.

Like you said, there were slaves that were jews. But historical records indicate that slaves were only used for menial housework such as fetching water, carrying food cooking and cleaning. Egyptian construction workers were highly skilled people which worked in different squads with quite funny names like "Ra's Rumblers" or "Anubis Jackals", more fit for a football team than construction workers. As for the slaves, the very first bounty in history was also in ancient Egypt, where there are records of a reward placed on a escaped slave in exchange for a piece of gold.

Also like you said, the Egyptian diet was very rich in proteins and fat which meant that the average worker was very fit and healthy, but unfortunately the nobility was plaged with a lot of fat fucks. Queen Nefertiti, which was always described as heavenly beautiful was in fact a hambeast by ancient standards due to the size of her sarcophagus.

So while I find a credible source who studies Tesla and likes him, you've just kept repeating your inverse square law nonsense without understanding the counter argument. And sure you want to keep wasting more time on this since you're writing walls of text back at me, don't pretend you're not fired up on exhibiting all that high school knowledge you got there. If you on the other hand don't want to waste your own time I suggest you find someone who isn't a fanboy of Tesla and has written expertly on why the local or global systems would not work. Until then I'd rather trust the expert than you. And just because you have trash TV channels that are again the product of capitalism and its need for sensationalism and ratings doesn't mean that TV appearances on credible science shows should be discarded.
Of course you knew nothing about this man before you shat on him for being excited about his hobbies, and now you're just backtracking. Enough with the character assassination already, shit on me if you must but stop insulting people who've worked in a field for their whole life because you refuse to back down.


My post had a very simple example which you seem to understand in your own crude way.Lightning clouds are natures little balls of piss. So there you go buddy, it already exists. There's no reason that we as humanity couldn't engineer us some balls of our own. Based on simple basic rules like the rules of parallel circuits it's then clear that it would be relatively easy to direct that energy into useful sectors by using more conductive materials than air (basically anything else) as antennas.

This is for the local system.

The global one was debunked even during Teslas own time and the last bit of doubt of the theoretical possibilities was cemented when the low-frequency ionospheric waveguide effect was discovered which would have been impossible if everything dissipated as the inverse square suggests.

Lord Kelvin used the same argument as you are doing and became convinced he was wrong later on as the scientific magazine The Electrical experimenter recounted in 1919.

"The Tesla Collection" - "The True Wireless". ELECTRICAL EXPERIMENTER, May 1, 1919

'The Tesla Collection'

Though I doubt you'll be as humble as him. Because to you this isn't about proving or disproving Tesla, but beating your meat to Capitalism. Which incidentally with your reflections on TV-shows in America proved has more faults than just this one in fucking with the mental faculties of your citizens.

edit: You're even liking the post by SkeetNyeet which was total nonsense. The technology will never allow for beams to be directed to individual housholds, let alone appliances, this time precisely because the inverse square law. You'd either need tens of thousands of prohibitively expensive satellites just to service a small country or you'd be losing the effect if you dispersed the beams energy on a wider area. Dude was mostly just shit posting so I let it slide, you're trying to act serious but don't know shit.

None of his articles suggest otherwise either.'


EDIT: If you knew anything about electricity what you would be focusing on the fact that transmitting current through air creates massive losses through dissipation of energy as heat, because of its high resistance. I guess I'm helping you a bit since I feel this discussion is already over. Meh, dunno why we are talking about this on this kind of forum anyway. But again, you have an other agenda than the openly declared one so maybe its that.

[PL 001]

Poet William Butler Yeats and occultist Alistair Crowley absolutely hated one another. One of the main reasons Crowley split off from the Golden Dawn and founded his own secret society, the A.A was because he just couldn't bear being in the same funny hat club as Yeats.

Have they ever explained why they hated each other?

 

[PL 001]

Have they ever explained why they hated each other?

Crowley essentially thought of Yeats as a dabbler who wasn't "elite" enough to be part of the cool kids' club. Yeats being a spiritualist and a member of the Theosophical society before joining the Golden Dawn. Yeats thought of Crowley as a deviant for his drug use and bisexuality.

 

[Francis E. Dec Esc.]

The Ewok language from Return of the Jedi was based on Kalmyk Oriat, a language spoken by native tribesmen in eastern Russia. Lucasfilm brought in an elderly Kalmyk refugee woman to Skywalker Ranch, gave her all the vodka she could drink, and recorded her telling stories and singing songs from her childhood. One of her songs (the one the Ewoks sing while preparing to cook Han Solo) appeared in the movie verbatim.

 

[CivilianOfTheFandomWars]

Discworlds scrumble drink, a horribly potent alcohol that causes madness and hallucinations, is based on real life scrumpy. Scrumpy, traditionally, was just apple cider made with any apples you had laying around, fermented to dryness. Dryness means that all the sugar that can be fermented was. So, basically scrumpy is an apple wine/hard cider, not too bad. However, some old school cider presses used lead to crush the apples, and we all know where that leads.

 

[Malagor the dank omen]

One common misconception popularized by Hollywood is that inverted crosses are a symbol of devil worship, but that's just a horrible misconception. The inverted cross is called in Christian lore St. Peter's cross and it's a symbol of commitment and sacrifice.

It's origin dates from the crucifixion of St. Peter by the romans. Despite being punished by death by crucifixion, Peter was proud of being executed in the same way Jesus was and therefore faced his fate without fear. In order to mock him, the roman soldiers turned his cross upside down once he was curcified in order to mock him.

Also, as a side note, the devil's name is Lucifer. Satan is a title that comes from Jewish worship that roughly translates for "Supreme evil".

In space, no one can hear you cry because its physically impossible to due so without gravity.

There's also a lotta astronaut poop, pee and vomit thats been dumped on the moon because they needed to make room on their ship for moon rocks and space dust.

As for the St. Peter cross, I heard that he himself requested to be crucified in a different manner than Jesus, since he thought he wasn't worthy of being punished the same way... or was that St. Andrew?

Also: Lucifer means Lightbringer and was a name given to (for instance) Venus for being so bright.

It was St. Andrew if i remember correctly. It has been a long time since i heard the story.

Also, no wonder Lucifer means that since he is also known as the "Morning Star", the brightest star in the firmament before dawn that corresponds to Venus.
