Isn't wireless electricity like 100+ years old?

Wireless Electricity - Tesla - Alternative Energy

No one here knows anything about Tesla?



*edit*

I forgot to quote this part of the article

"The trick with wireless power is not can you do it; it's can you do it safely and efficiently," Intel researcher Josh Smith said in an online video explaining the breakthrough.

"It turns out the human body is not affected by magnetic fields; it is affected by elective fields. So what we are doing is transmitting energy using the magnetic field not the electric field."


Electromagnetic fields are actually known to cause paranoia/nausea/headaches/hallucinations, and some believe cancer

Just thought I would add that in there also...

Medicines have more side affects than that and generally more dangerous.

But I was wondering where I remembered the name Tesla from. David Bowie played the character Nikola Tesla in the movie The Prestige

Yes, they actually touch a bit on Tesla and his funding problems, plus they show the light bulbs lighting up

Uh, the only Telsa that EVER mattered was Official Home of Tesla the Band

It was a proven scientific fact that Nikola Tesla was lighting Light Bulbs from over 1 mile away back in 1900 with no adverse effect to anyone in the area in between.

Too bad the FBI seized all his works from the hotel he was living in when he died, and to this day haven't released it. Supposedly he was working on a "Death Ray" or a Teleforce Weapon that he tried to sell to several governments.. they wouldn't even give 80% of his works back to his own family after he died.

Thanks J. Edgar Hoover!

No immediate adverse effect , wonder who died later of cancer, etc...

99% of the people prolly didn't even know who Tesla was... Or that he maybe could have fried them...

Eh, I learned about Tesla in high school I think, but it was more of just a passing mention.

This is actually pretty old stuff, it was Nikola Tesla's idea in the first place and called Alternating Current. We don't use it because it couldn't power a motor when it was first tested and discovered in the early 1900's. Nothing new here.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Around 1865-1870 when he ran Tesla Light and Electric he was trying to make an alternating current motor, but his backers and coworkers didn't believe he could make it work and fired him. He later did make a working alternating current engine, and it was before 1900.

Alternating Current was Nikola Tesla's idea for transmitting Electricity over wires, and he sold it to Westinghouse in the late 1800's for a million dollars.

He patented several of the ideas that were used for the radio while working on this "wireless power" that were stolen by Marconi and the patent for the radio wasn't given back to Tesla until after he had already died.

Tesla invented most of the ideas for, and owned most of the original works on Radar systems as well.

He was a man way before his time, probably even still ahead of where a lot of people are today.

I've read about 5 books and writeups on Nikola Tesla, I'm a nerd that way.
