    Tesla was soo wronged

     



    The man is a perfect example of how America treats its true talented people ...............He was soo wronged from edison ..to marconi ...................look at what one his 1800s gadgetts will do ..just think ,you could have been listening to radio in the 1800s if tesla was not under the controll of the bottomliners.{do a search on bottomliners ,if not familiar with the term}
    Here is one example of how diverse some his gadgetts were,this design was soo good it can be used for just about anything.......
    YouTube - Nikola Tesla - The Forgotten Wizard
    YouTube - Tesla Coil Music - Featured on Hacked Gadgets
    YouTube - Plasma Speaker - Introduction
    YouTube - James Bond Moonraker - Plasma Speaker
    YouTube - Musical Tesla Coils Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy


    Think about what is being done with this and its almost mind blowing that this was built pre 1800s.....same deign as then and its being used for unbelievable things, this is just one example of what can be done with some of his tech.I could post hundreds of examples of his technology we use daily ,but tesla is never given the credit......another overlooked American Hero ,but we are all up to date on Paris Hlton I bet,wheather we like it or not we get bombarded with trivial usless information,and its suppose to stimulate our imagination .......ooops I broke into a jagger song....

    I hope ..............,but when talking of Tesla thats just what he did on sundays, thats like saying, Superman wears a cape........kind of a understatement...........some of the more outstanding facts are omitted...

    Yeah they did have a few didn't they....I think one of my favorites though, was an acoustic cover of a certain 5 Man Electrical Band song.

    He competed with Edison's ideas. That probably cost him a lot of the recognition he deserved. No doubt about it, he did some amazing research and helped provide us with a direct link to a lot of our modern convieniences.

    I wrote an episode for a Pinky and the Brain cartoon, with Nichola Tesla as a theme.
