What's with the ego fixation on Edison there?

Makes the creator look like a fruitcake...


Edison's true success, like that of his friend Henry Ford (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Ford), was in his ability to maximize profits through establishment of mass-production systems and intellectual property rights. George Westinghouse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Westinghouse) and Edison became adversaries because of Edison's promotion of direct current (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_current) (DC) for electric power distribution instead of the more easily transmitted alternating current (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_current) (AC) system invented by Nikola Tesla (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla) and promoted by Westinghouse. Unlike DC, AC could be stepped up to very high voltages with transformers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer), sent over thinner and cheaper wires, and stepped down again at the destination for distribution to users.

AC is what you pay for.

our world is actualy run by a marriage of AC and DC. I think its something neither man ever imagined happening. AC is whats sent to your house, its whats running through the power lines, it was runs the world. But almost everything electronic actualy uses DC power by stepping down and regulating that AC. Otherwise your computer would be turning itself on and off about 60 times a second.


Nik wasnt made for the world he lived in. I suspect he suffered from Aspergers syndrome early in his life as an inventor and eventualy just went bat shit crazy. Sad as it is, if he had learned the art of bullshit, lying, politicing and and profit, we'd probably be beaming ourselves to distant planets right now. Ok, thats a big exageration, but such is the fate of great men, it seems :(

Not so much "ego fixation" - Edison truly WAS a douche. When Tesla started working for Edison, Edison told Tesla that he would pay him $5,000 if he could solve a problem dealing (if I remember correctly) with motors or electrical power distribution. Tesla arrived at the solution, got it working, and went to Edison for his reward. Edison told him "You just don't understand our American sense of humor" and didn't give Tesla a penny.

Fuck Edison... cheap prick dishonest opportunist douche!

A jew?

Looks like he tried to put the jews on a leash, No?



Inventing a motion picture camera that worked properly was the easy part for Edison. Keeping the Jews from using the camera without paying him royalties for his invention was the hard part.

As soon as the German born Jew, Carl Laemmle found out about motion pictures, he started figuring ways to exploit the new invention. Efforts by Laemmle and other Jews to deprive Edison of his fees for using his cameras forced Edison and other movie makers like Dickson, Casler, Koopman, Long, Smith, Klein and Marion to form a protective association called the TRUST.
As fast as the Jews could get their hands on Edison's equipment and started using it, the Trust would file lawsuits against them to stop their illegally using his patented equipment.

The man who financed the construction of the tower shut it down when he learned that there would be no way to regulate the energy and therefore it wouldn't make money.

I call BS on this. Of course there would be ways to regulate the energy. Of course there would be ways to make money with this technology. Just off the top of my head, meters on the receiving end could be built to track energy use, and a bill would be sent by the owner of the tower each month. Competition between tower owners would certainly reduce energy cost, but energy is also a very high-demand commodity, and people are certainly willing to pay for it.

i had a chance to work with a few comparably gifted engineers in Silicon Valley, and a few i watched "from afar" - never worked directly worked with them.

it is a privilege to work with people like that, or even to have known them. i learned a lot from them.

fortunately one - Bill O. - was 'normal' (laid back, not obnoxious), he simply ran rings around everybody in the field of microwave instrumentation. that engineering team basically designed the instrument set that facilitated the development of current day wireless.


one other example - Carl Rosendahl, started Pacific Data Images in the early 1980's, which was later sold to Spielberg and is now Dreamworks Animation. Carl developed the television & animation hardware (like a Radius Video Vision) and the software (like 3D Studio Max) in the 1980's. To do just one of those things is extraordinary; to do both is near God-like.

I would have to compare Bill O's skill level and Carl Rosendahl's skill level to that of Edison & Tesla.

Thomas Edison was an inventor who accumulated 2,332[1] patents worldwide for his inventions. 1,093 of Edison's patents were in the United States, but other patents were approved in countries around the globe

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Edison_patents


from what i understand
Edison hired the best brains he could find
and when THEY invented or discovered something

Edison would run down to the patent office and put his name on it


fuck you Edison

Here's a mind twister for you, what does a hologram sound like?
An advanced quantum mechanics physicist named "Thunder" discovered you can make it sound like anything you want. Including a subtle frequency that can literally change organic and non-organic material within its radius, even via text message!

What's the sound of your car not producing pollution?

A cell phone and smart meter not giving off EMF?

What is the sound of a healthy body free of disease?

What would you offer the man who invented this technology?
Mitsubishi Japan, offered 80 million and got turned down.
Why cancel the pollution of only 10% of the worlds cars when you can do all of them?
There is no patent, it has not been weaponized and now that the people are in need,
the planet is ready.
The long held belief that somehow a genius dude would miraculously just pop up and have the skills to solve the worst crises man has ever faced, turned out to be spot on.
This may just be the best broadcast in Vinny Eastwood Show history, maybe the most important broadcast in the history of talk radio itself, according to one listener.

I mainly noticed that VE follows the AJ track in not naming djoo. He doesn't bang on Hitler or the holohoax or "4th Reich" from what I've heard though, which'd be a departure from AJ's style. He seems luke warm at best about AJ though-- at first AJ was his inspiration, then I guess he heard some stories about AJ's backstabbing other radio hosts or prominent patriots. VE hasn't gone all commercial like AJ with a product line etc. I gather VE purely shakes the cup for voluntary donations.

Practically speaking, naming djoo all the time can get U abruptly kicked off YT. I guess one solution would be cross posting to vimeo, dailymotion, trutube. Most of his work, aside from the show, is editing the video after... then he could perhaps just run some sort of script which uploads it to multiple video sites, while he takes a nap...

Nikola Tesla - "Mr. Tesla Explains Why He Will Never Marry" (http://anengineersaspect.blogspot.com.au/2011/07/nikola-tesla-mr-tesla-explains-why-he.html)

I've been researching Nikola Tesla quite a lot lately. I decided to go ahead and post this article I found in the Newspaper Archives. I think that it is part of a complete portrait of the man who was Nikola Tesla--BUT I think that it is important to remember that the year was 1924. And further, remember that Nikola Tesla always attributed his intellect and gift for invention to his mother, who was an inventor herself.

Galveston Daily News, Galveston, Texas, page 23. August 10, 1924.



http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2GYzUKT_GUw/TiTU8ZmC4_I/AAAAAAAAGw8/lNel7BDFCh0/s400/Headline.jpg (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2GYzUKT_GUw/TiTU8ZmC4_I/AAAAAAAAGw8/lNel7BDFCh0/s1600/Headline.jpg)

Mr. Tesla Explains Why He Will Never Marry

Famous Scientist Felt Un-
worthy of Woman as She
Used To Be, and Now He
Can't Endure Her
Trying to Outdo
the Men


WHEN a man who has made a name for himself deliberately chooses to remain a bachelor the world is naturally curious to know what the reasons were that impelled him to this choice.

Marriage has come to be considered the natural thing for every normal man, and when some pre-eminent man shows a firm determination to sidestep it everybody wonders whether his superior intelligence has revealed to him some fatal defects in the institution of matrimony which are not apparent to the average person.

But the public's curiosity in this respect is seldom gratified. Most of the distinguished bachelors try to pass off their bachelorhood as a joke, saying that it is not a matter of choice, but because they have never been able to find a woman who would marry them. As a rule, they are singularly averse to giving any serious reasons for their failure to become husbands.

Nikola Tesla, the great scientist and inventor, is a striking exception to this rule. In a recent interview with a representative of this newspaper he frankly explains why he has never married and why he probably never will marry.

And in connection with his explanation he presents some ideas about woman's freedom and what he thinks it is sure to lead to that will be read with interest by those who agree with him as well as by the many who will not.

Caption: "In place of the soft voiced, gentle woman of my reverent worship," says Mr. Tesla, "has come the woman who thinks that her chief success in life lies in making herself as much as possible like man--in dress, voice and actions, in sports and achievements of every kind"

In the past the reason why Mr. Tesla never married was because his estimation of woman placed her on such a lofty pedestal that he could never bring himself to feel worthy of her. Now that she has, as he feels, stepped down from her pedestal and bartered all her noblest qualities for what is called her "freedom," he is even more disinclined to matrimony than he was before.

Although of course Mr. Tesla is too gallant a gentleman to say it in so many words, his comments let it be inferred that he thinks the new woman almost as far beneath him as the one of other days was above him. According to his views, the sex has rushed from one extreme to another of quite a different kind, and in the plunge it has left for Mr. Tesla and other bachelors who think as he does no "happy medium" such as Josiah Allen's wife used to declare one of the essentials to happiness.

Caption: Ida Schnall, the all-around woman athlete, in a boxing bout with Willie Bradley--a sure indication, according to Mr. Tesla's rather gloomy views, that our civilization is deteriorating

"I had always thought of woman," says Mr. Tesla, "as possessing those delicate qualities of mind and soul that made her in these respects far superior to man. I had put her on a lofty pedestal, figuratively speaking, and ranked her in certain important attributes considerably higher than man. I worshiped at the feet of the creature I had raised to this height, and, like every true worshiper, I felt myself unworthy of the object of my worship.

"But all this was in the past. Now the soft-voiced gentle woman of my reverent worship has all but vanished. In her place has come the woman who thinks that her chief success in life lies in making herself as much as possible like man--in dress, voice and actions, in sports and achievements of every kind."

In those words the great electrical genius sums up the reasons for his bachelorhood.

Some who read them will urge that his view of womankind is distorted by the years he has spent in the laboratory, dealing with inanimate things and developing perhaps an abnormal shyness which acts as an insuperable barrier to marriage. Others will say that the very fact of his detachment from the ordinary routine of life makes him all the better qualified to point out its defects and to criticize the change for the worse which he believes new conditions have brought to womankind.

Caption: Nikola Tesla, the electrical wizard whose discoveries paved the way for this radio age

"Women," says Mr. Tesla, "are becoming stronger than men, both physically and mentally.

"The world has experienced many tragedies, but to my mind the greatest tragedy of all is the present economic condition wherein women strive against men, and in many cases actually succeed in usurping their places in the professions and in industry. This growing tendency of women to overshadow the masculine is a sign of a deteriorating civilization.

"Woman's determined competition with man in the business world is breaking down some of the best traditions--things which have proved the moving factors in the world's slow but substantial progress.

"Practically all the great achievements of man until now have been inspired by his love and devotion to woman. Man has aspired to great things because some woman believed in him, because he wished to command her admiration and respect. For these reasons he has fought for her and risked his life and his all for her time and time again.

"Perhaps the male in human society is useless. I am frank to admit that I don't know. If women are beginning to feel this way about it--and there is striking evidence at hand that they do--then we are entering upon the cruelest period of the world's history.

"Our civilization will sink to a state like that which is found among the bees, ants and other insects--a state wherein the male is ruthlessly killed off. In this matriarchal empire which will be established the female rules. As the female predominates, the males are at her mercy. The male is considered important only as a factor in the general scheme of the continuity of life.

"The tendency of women to push aside man, supplanting the old spirit of cooperation with him in all the affairs of life, is very disappointing to me.

"Woman's independence and her cleverness in obtaining what she wants in the business world is breaking down man's spirit of independence. The old fire he once experienced at being able to achieve something that would compel and hold a woman's devotion is turning to ashes.

"Women don't seem to want that sort of thing to-day. They appear to want to control and govern. They want man to look up to them, instead of their looking up to him."

Mr. Tesla is not given to making statements that he cannot prove. His life's work has been based on logic, not on guesses.

Caption: Mrs. Davenport Engberg, the director of a symphony orchestra and a good example of the way women are entering fields that used to be exclusively men's

In voicing his gloomy views of modern life Mr. Tesla says his observations are not confined to the women of this country. Conditions abroad, he says, suggest that the same tendency is world-wide. Having always regarded woman as a super-being, he expresses great sadness over the change he thinks the last few years have brought in her.

"I am considering this question not merely from the standpoint of a man," he points out. "I am thinking of the woman's side of it.

"As we contemplate any change, we naturally take into consideration the results that may follow such an innovation. One of the results to my mind is quite a pathetic one. Woman, herself, is really the victim instead of, as she thinks, the victor. Contentment is absent from her life. She is ambitious, often far beyond her natural equipment, to attain the thing she wants. She too frequently forgets that all women cannot be prima donnas and motion picture stars.

"Woman's discontent makes the life of the present day still more overstressed. The high pitch given to existence by people who are restless and dissatisfied because they fail to achieve things wholly out of proportion to the health and talent with which Nature has endowed them is a bad thing for the world.

"It seems to me that women are not particularly happy in this newly found freedom, in this new competition which they are waging so persistently against men in business and the professions and even in sport. The question that naturally arises is, whether the women themselves are the gainers or the losers.

"Discontent makes for cranks and unnatural people. There seems to be an uncommon number of them about to-day. This is one of the reasons I remain apart from the crowds. The public, or semi-public, character is the target for all sorts of attacks and unpleasant communications.

Caption: A woman worker in a Michigan railroad machine shop

"For example, I used to receive all sorts of strange notes, many of them letters from cranks threatening my life, because they had read about my experiments in manufacturing lightning bolts. They wrote that they believed I was using these lightning flashes to kill them!

"It seems to me that anything which adds to the great discontent which we observe on every side to-day must be a bad influence on our life. Women who keep themselves agitated by their tremendous ambition to beat man at his game are losing at the same time something that counts for more in the end, it seems to me, than the empty honors that success in business or one of the professions can ever give.

"The power of the true woman is so great that I believe if a beautiful woman--that is to say, one beautiful in spirit, in manner and in thought, in fact, beautiful in every respect, a sort of goddess--were to appear suddenly on earth, she could command the whole world. Her leadership, I believe, would be universally recognized.

"History has given us many examples of the wonderful influence exerted by unusual women. Among these have been the mothers of great men. But their influence lay not in their determination to outdo man, or even to compete with him.

"Perhaps because woman is a finer and more highly sensitized instrument she knows by instinct her power and understands that the extent of it lies in the high position she takes for herself. But the superior never descends to the level of the commonplace."

These views of Nikola Tesla will be received with great interest, whether one agrees or not with his idea that woman in her new role is a sinister force that is going to pull down to ruin our whole social structure. He is generally recognized as one of the greatest mentalities of the present day.

Twenty years ago Tesla astonished the world by flashing a wireless message clear around the globe. His experimental work paved the way for the radio age in which we are now living. Many scientists think it quite possible that one of his highly sensitized machines actually caught signals from Mars.

For several years past he has been living in comparative seclusion in the Colorado Rockies, devoting himself to the perfection of two or three inventions which he expects will revolutionize methods of transportation and communication. He is almost ready to explain to the world a way of transmitting electrical energy without the use of wires.

This will enable the energy from some great source of power like Niagara Falls to be quickly and economically transmitted to any desired part of the earth--and, perhaps, some day to Mars and other planets.

Some philosopher has said that it is as perilous for a man to say he will never marry as for a physician to try to predict the exact hour of a person's death. Mr. Tesla is not an old man. Perhaps he will live long enough to find some woman who will be able to convince him that she has attained her new freedom without sacrificing any of the womanly qualities which he so greatly admires.
