tesla hadde vel en rekke teorier om hvordan det skulle gå an med trådløs strøm, og med tanke på hvor genial han var og alle de andre oppfinnelsene han fant opp, så skulle det ikke forundre meg om han var inne på noe... men han fikk vel ikke så mye støtte ettersom han var på leting etter fri energitilgang for alle.. i motsetning til andre folk som hovedsakelig tenker på å tjene penger på å selge det til folk. er det ikke slik at patentene og notatene hans ble konfiskert av myndighetene i USA når han døde?

Det har vært en bøling gode forskere innen samme felt etter Tesla, at tesla skulle ha ligget noe foran det vi vet i dag om elektromagnetisme o.l. finner jeg lite sannsynlig.

Pretty much everybody even remotely associated with real-time strategy games has heard the name Tesla before – the Serbian God of Lightning's omnipresent, ever-zapping coils have been ruining the fucking lives of digital Allied soldiers and gibbing U.S. war machines into spare parts since the release of Command & Conquer: Red Alert in 1996 – but surprisingly few people these days are familiar with the life and times of one of humankind's most eccentric, badass, and volumetrically-insane scientific super-geniuses.

 

First off, Nikola Tesla was fucking brilliant. And not just like Ken Jennings brilliant, either - I mean like, "holy shit my head just exploded (from all the awesome)" brilliant. The Croatian-born engineer spoke eight languages, almost single-handedly developed technology that harnessed the power of electricity for household use, and invented things like electrical generators, FM radio, remote control, robots, spark plugs, fluorescent lights, and giant-ass machines that shoot enormous, brain-frying fucking lightning bolts all over the place like crazy. He had an unyielding, steel-trap photographic memory and an insane ability to visualize even the most complex pieces of machinery – the guy did advanced calculus and physics equations in his fucking head, memorized entire books at a time, and successfully pulled off scientific experiments that modern-day technology STILL can't replicate. For instance, in 2007 a group of lesser geniuses at MIT got all pumped up out of their minds because they wirelessly transmitted energy a distance seven feet through the air. Fucking Nikola Tesla once lit 200 lightbulbs from a power source 26 miles away, and he did it in 1899 with a machine he built from spare parts in the middle of the fucking desert. To this day, nobody can really figure out how the fuck he pulled that shit off, because two-thirds of the schematics only existed in the darkest recesses of Tesla's all-powerful brain.

 

Of course, much like many other eccentric giga-geniuses and diabolical masterminds, Tesla was also completely insane. He was prone to nervous breakdowns, claimed to receive weird visions in the middle of the night, spoke to pigeons, and occasionally thought he was receiving electromagnetic signals from extraterrestrials on Mars. He was also obsessive-compulsive and hated round objects, human hair, jewelry, and anything that wasn't divisible by three. He was also asexual and celibate for his entire life. Basically, Nikola Tesla was the ultimate mad scientist, which is seriously fucking awesome.

 

Another sweet thing about Tesla is that he conducted the sort of crazy experiments that generally result in hordes of angry villages breaking down the door to your lab with torches and pitchforks. One time, while he was working on magnetic resonance, he discovered the resonant frequency of the Earth and caused a fucking earthquake so powerful that it almost obliterated the 5th Avenue New York building that housed his Frankenstein Castle of a laboratory. Shit was flying off the walls, the drywall was breaking apart, the cops were coming after him, and Tesla had to smash his device with a sledge hammer to keep it from demolishing an entire city block. Later, he boasted that he could have built a device powerful enough to split the Earth in two. Nobody dared him to prove it.

 

Tesla also ordered the construction of the Wardenclyffe Tesla Tower, a giant building shaped like an erect penis that would have housed the largest Tesla coil ever built. The massive structure, ostensibly designed to wirelessly transmit power, has been cited as a potential cause of the mysterious 1908 Tunguska Event – a ten-megaton blast that detonated in the wastelands above central Russia that completely obliterated and deforested everything unlucky enough to be located within a several hundred mile radius. While nothing has ever successfully proven Tesla's involvement in the ass-destroyingly huge explosion, it's pretty awesome that this guy could potentially have detonated a weapon 1,000 times more powerful than the nuclear bomb that destroyed Hiroshima, and have done it back before they'd even invented the submachine gun.

 

During his adventures blinding half of the world with science, Nikola Tesla harnessed the power of Niagara Falls into the first hydroelectric power plant, constructed a bath designed to cleanse the human body of germs using nothing but electricity, and created a 130-foot long bolt of lightning from one of his massive coils (a feat which to this day remains the world record for man-made lightning), but perhaps his most badass invention was his face-melting, tank-destroying, super-secret Atomic Death Ray. In the 1920s he claimed to be working on a tower that could potentially have spewed forth a gigantic beam of ionized particles capable of disintegrating aircraft from 200 miles away and blinking most men out of existence like something out of a fucking Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers comic. His weapon, known as the "Teleforce Beam" allegedly shot ball lightning at 60 million volts, liquefying its targets with enough power to vaporize steel, and, while it could shoot further than 200 miles, it's effectiveness beyond that range was limited only by the fucking curvature of the Earth. Luckily for all humans, this crazy shit never came to fruition – most of the schematics and plans existed only in Tesla's head, and when he died of heart failure in 1943, little hard data on the project existed. Still, J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI confiscated all his personal shit and locked it away anyways, just to be safe.

 

Despite being incredibly popular during his day, now Tesla remains largely overlooked among lists of the greatest inventors and scientists of the modern era. Thomas Edison gets all the glory for discovering the lightbulb and shit, but it was his one-time assistant and life-long arch-nemesis, Nikola Tesla, who made the breakthroughs in alternating-current technology that allowed for people to cheaply use electricity to power appliances and lighting in their homes. They constantly fought about whether to use alternating or direct-currents (their bitter blood feud resulted in both men being snubbed from the Nobel Prize committee), but ultimately Tesla was the one who delivered the fatal kick-to-the-crotch that ended the battle – at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, his AC generators illuminated the entire experience, marking the first time that an event of that magnitude had ever taken place under the glow of artificial light. Today, all homes and applicances run on Tesla's AC current.

 

Nikola Tesla was one of those super-genius badasses whose intellect placed him dangerously on the precipice between "great scientific mind" and "utter madness". He held 700 patents at the time of his death, made groundbreaking discoveries in the fields of physics, robotics, steam turbine engineering, and magnetism, and once melted one of his assistants' hands by overloading it with X-rays - which isn't really scientific, but is still pretty cool. And honestly, if there were one man on this planet who was ever capable of single-handedly destroying the entire planet through his insane scientific discoveries, it was Tesla. That alone should qualify him as a pretty righteous badass.

Tesla var utvilsomt et geni, i likhet med mange andre av våre mest kjente fysikere (det er også mange av de med ekstreme evner innen andre felter, som språk, også). Han fant på mye bra, men det har av en eller annen grunn blitt en kult rundt Tesla, med påstander om at vi i moderne tid fortsatt ikke får til ting han har fått til. Det er lite sannsynlig, teknologien har utviklet seg enormt fra den gang, og det er liten grunn til å anta at det er tilfellet, vi det er mye flere fysikere, vi kan mye mer, og teknologien er mye mer avansert. Tesla kom også med mange påstander som neppe er riktige. Dette med trådløs strøm er et klassisk eksempel, det virker som folk antar det er bare en måte å løse trådløs strøm, at tesla har gjort det, og at hans måte er prefekt. Vi har kunnet overføre strøm trådløst lenge, det er bare det at de praktiske ulempene er for store. Tesla har heller ikke hatt en praktisk god måte å overføre strøm på, trådløst.

Er det farlig å la en lader (pc/mobil) stå i kontakten uten at den lader noe?

[Kahuna]

Hvis du er ute etter luftige historier så er Tesla-kulten din venn.

 

Hvis du har lyst til å ta tak i noen av hans uutnyttede ideer er tesla-turbinen et av de bedre utgangspunktene. Det er en turbin som kan omgjøre varme-energi til mekanisk energi med (påstått)høy effektivitet. Tesla laget to prototyper som var i drift et års tid med gode resultater, fram til de måtte skrotes på grunn av materialtretthet. På grunn av dårlig oppfølging fra Tesla sin side stoppet prosjektet der men tilsvarende turbiner brukes i biler i dag men da i 'revers', dvs som pumper.

 

Man har selvfølgelig prøvd å gjenskape Teslas turbiner men man oppnår ikke den gode effektiviteten de opprinnelige turbinene skulle ha hatt. Problemet ligger visst i dyse-designen.

 

Noe for neste års prosjekt på metallsløyden?

Er det farlig å la en lader (pc/mobil) stå i kontakten uten at den lader noe?

Farlig er jo et relativt begrep, men det du beskriver (altså kabel som ikke lader noe) er nok noe som de færreste ville kalle farlig.

Skjønner. Jeg har alltid blitt lært at man må ta ut ladere som ikke lader, pga brannfare.

Å holde politiet for narr er neppe noe sjakktrekk, men genialt er det jo allikevel - og ikke minst en morsom historie.

[Slimda]

Er det lov å gjøre som personen her?

Den historien har jeg hørt før, i flere andre varianter. Og alle har nøyaktig samme handling. Det der skjedde ikke i Bærum, og jeg tviler på om det har skjedd i det hele tatt.

[Khaffner]

Var ikke akkurat det jeg spurte om

[Reeve]

Bare så det er sagt (dette burde vært allmenn kunnskap), hvis Frank Aune har skrevet det, er det mest sannsynlig ikke sant. Den mannen har ikke ordet "kildekritikk" i sitt vokabular.

[GeO]

Greit nok å kritisere Frank Aune, men nå var jo den artikkelen tross alt postet under «Fredagshumor», da.

[Habitats]

Vet måneekspedisjonen har vært diskutert utallige ganger, men lurer på en sak.

 

Hvorfor har ingen vært på månen siden Apollo 13 17? Om de virkelig klarte det for 40 år siden, hvorfor ikke ta seg en tur til, hente ned bilen (eller det som er igjen av den), og vips. Enta en teori i vasken.

Endret 6. februar 2009 av Habitats

[Mr. Bojangles]

Skjer ikke så mye på månen da ... Liten vits i å bruke flere milliarder på å sende opp folk dit, bare for å eie noen konspirasjonsteoretikere. De hadde vel ikke trodd det var mulig før de stod på månen selv.

[.Marcus]

Det å tro at konspirasjonsteoretikere kjøper håndfast bevis er nå også lite sannsynlig!

[Mannen med ljåen]

Hvorfor har ingen vært på månen siden Apollo 13?

 

Apollo 13 landet aldri på månen. De fikk trøbbel med en oksygentank underveis.

 

Apollo 17 var sist på månen.

[Habitats]

Hooppsann. Mente selvfølgelig 17.

Vi har kunnet overføre strøm trådløst lenge, det er bare det at de praktiske ulempene er for store. Tesla har heller ikke hatt en praktisk god måte å overføre strøm på, trådløst.

Se på den elektriske tannbørsten neste gang du tar den opp fra laderen. Legg merke til at det ikke er noen metallforbindelse mellom holderen/laderen og selve tannbørsten som strømmen går i .

 

Det er trådløs strøm som vi kjenner i dag via elektromagnetisme. Det sitter ganske enkelt en spole i pinnen som man trer hullet på tannbørsten ned på, og så sitter det en spole inni tannbørsten rundt dette hullet. Så sendes det vekselspenning inn på spolen i laderen, som lager og bryter ned et magnetfelt mange ganger i sekundet. Magnetfeltet beveger seg opp og ned mange ganger i sekundet over spolen i tannbørsten, noe som induserer en tilsvarende mengde strøm (- effekt tapet) i den spolen og lader tannbørsten.

 

 

Problemet er at vi kan ikke overføre strøm trådløst over lengre avstander av praktiske årsaker med elektromagnetisme som vi kjenner det i dag. Da måtte vi isåfall "beamet" strømmen over ved å gjøre det om til lys/varme energi og så brukt solcellepanel på andre siden, eller lignende metoder som krever direkte synlig luftlinje, mye penger og veldig dårlig virkningsgrad .
