Title Text: slinkies, for when the power goes out and there's nothing else to do
So many hijinks, so little time

Yes... Though you seem to have the reasoning a bit off.. Tesla was working on the idea of wireless power transmission through large scale EM pulse emission. He actually succeeded in his goal and found a way to do it useing High frequency Tesla coils at extreme voltages (Upwards of 1 million Volts) however this put him at odds with the big money of the time because it meant that power would be free for everyone in virtually limitless quantities... and with no wires the businessmen couldn't regulate OR charge for it. It also posed a risk to existing wired infrastructure as Tesla's wireless transmission method was destructive to the wired system do to a feedback loop being created.Argent wrote:Hey, it's not so bad, Nikola Tesla once blacked out the whole of Colorado Springs with one of his experiments.
He was trying to electrify the Earth.
Yes, the whole planet.
For reals.
Karishad has a ways to go.

That would be in direct violation of conservation of energy. Then there's that little matter of all the residual EM fields which don't reach any load, and the extreme voltages required to generate them in the first place. I'd say regulation would be the least concern for anyone willing to fund such an experiment.Adoring Fan wrote:He actually succeeded in his goal and found a way to do it useing High frequency Tesla coils at extreme voltages (Upwards of 1 million Volts) however this put him at odds with the big money of the time because it meant that power would be free for everyone in virtually limitless quantities... and with no wires the businessmen couldn't regulate OR charge for it.
The ground was the *literal* ground in his system, and his goal was to establish a permanent state of electrical potential difference between the whole planet and his distribution towers.Adoring Fan wrote: Yes... Though you seem to have the reasoning a bit off..
Not in any practical way. The efficiency was a fraction of a percent.Tesla was working on the idea of wireless power transmission through large scale EM pulse emission. He actually succeeded in his goal
What hype?NeoWolf wrote:Guys, I just realized something. There's only the rest of Flip That Den! and one more full story arc until...THE 100th ARC!!!!! XD The hype is real!!

He did actually succeed in a way, which failed then, but a few scientists dug up the old, OLD information, and it is now very possible on a high scale of efficacy. I saw it somewhere on TV, and NBS announced it so I know it isn't a hoax or anything like that. I've the data on how to do it somewhere, I just misplaced it.Argent wrote:The ground was the *literal* ground in his system, and his goal was to establish a permanent state of electrical potential difference between the whole planet and his distribution towers.Adoring Fan wrote: Yes...

It's an awesome insane idea, and even on a small scale it caused weird effects in Colorado Springs.

Ben Franklin's fault.Bill in OK wrote:Karishad's almost right. Electrons (not "power" per se) flow into the positive (the "plus" side) and out of the negative (the "minus" side). Current, though, is the reverse of that. Something I have never understood.
What's HNE?tsMKG wrote: I'm sure that will be nowhere near to the HNE's hype (which I missed the hype since I read it recently last year, 2015)
