Happy Birthday, Nikola Tesla. I've read it was on July 9. What calendar do you use in Mississippi? Check out the new Gregorian version. It helps bring the dates and the seasons back together. mike -- __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ / /\ / /\ / /\ / /\ / /\ / /\ / /\ / / / /\ \ /'Think Tanks Cleaned Cheap'/ /\ \/ / /_/ \/_/ \/_/ \/_/ \/_/ \/_/ \/_/ \/_/ Densa International© For the OTHER two percent.

The sparking would have stopped after an equilibrium was reached. The investors thought that consumption metering would be a problem, so financing was stopped. ====================================== As early as 1892, Nikola Tesla created a basic design for radio. On November 8, 1898 he patented a radio controlled robot-boat. Tesla used this boat which was controlled by radio waves in the Electrical Exhibition in 1898, Madison Square Garden. http://www.teslasociety.com/radio.htm ====================================== I wonder how Tesla's work would have been different if his first great rivalry had been with Marconi rather than Edison. It was. There were really bad irregularities at the patent office. Marconi had connections. Roughly forty years alter, thing were turned around. =============================================== A majority of the Court found, after tracing the lineage of radio through Maxwell, Hertz, Lodge, Tesla, and Crookes, the basic Marconi patent (No. 763,772, filed Nov. 1900) used nothing not already included in Tesla's earlier patent No. 645,576 (filed Sept. 1897), except for the presence in Marconi's design of an inductively tuneable antenna. (And the antenna element under discussion-Lodge's patent, No. 609,104-was bought from Lodge by Marconi.) The Court went on to note that Stone's radio patent (No. 714,756) completely anticipated Marconi's, antenna included. Stone, by the way, had always credited Tesla with the first basic, workable design, saying of his own patent it was "practically the same as that employed by Tesla" –but with the valuable refinements of a tuneable antenna and design adjustments to "swamp" parasitic oscillations in the transmitter. http://www.hbci.com/~wenonah/new/tesla.htm ============================================= ================ Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was the genius who lit the world, whose discoveries in the field of alternating polyphase current electricity advanced the United States and the rest of the world into the modern industrial era. Nikola Tesla had 700 patents in the US and Europe. Tesla's discoveries include the Tesla Coil, fluorescent light, Tesla Statue wireless transmission of electrical energy, radio, remote control, discovery of cosmic radio waves and use of ionosphere for scientific purposes. http://www.teslasociety.com/ ============================== Due to the insane amount of spam and garbage, I block all postings with a Gmail, Google Mail, Google Groups or HOTMAIL address.

He was using the Burger King Calendar while following the Angus Diet - just enjoy life. Do whatever you want. Eat whatever you want as long as it makes you
Have a Happy whomever's day Celebrating whatever day Tesla is the greatest inventor that God ever gave a brain ever! |
