I have been reading up about Nicola Tesla why do we know so little about him?.Thomas Edison Marconi we know.But Tesla was well ahead of them he worked for Edison and they had disputes about A C currency.Tesla won the argument and promoted AC instead of directt currency.Tesla was working on free energy radio television. .Read up about him he should have had far more credit for what he achieved.

Tesla had a unit of magnetism named after him to recognise his work, Marconi didn't.

I believe Tesla was working on free energie and JP Morgan blocked his idears because no money could be made ouft of this.Tesla also look ahead regarding wind and sun energie.I wonder how many kids know about Nicola Tesla in history classes.

Nikola Tesla was an amazing man. We physicists give him full respect ;-)

Although... he was working on a death ray towards the end of his life, as he had always been considered a bit crackers.

Nicola Tesla. Mechanical Electrical Engineer. - Dutchie
Arn't all scientist a bit crackers? Close line between madness and genius.;)
Nicola Tesla. Mechanical Electrical Engineer. - Bobbin Threadbare

That might be why I am drawn to building crazy things in my garage and why my hair looks more and more like Einstein's mop every day...!

Nicola Tesla. Mechanical Electrical Engineer. - Dutchie

Einstein's mop.? The neighbours will show a interest in you.;)

Have been following this chap for a bit Jacque fresco.I know I'm sad, interesting caracter do.

Nicola Tesla. Mechanical Electrical Engineer. - Bobbin Threadbare

Yes LOL.

Didn't Jacque Fresco design those crazy pod houses in the US?

Nicola Tesla. Mechanical Electrical Engineer. - Dutchie

He did,Jacque is getting on a bit now over ninety.Still a very bright person with fresh idears.Instead of all the same drivel from boring politicians.

Now, i know nothing about science but i do know scientists are generally mad, mental and entertaining. One only need see Fringe for the magnificent portrayal of Dr Walter Bishop by John Noble, or of course Back to the Future! Marty! You've gotta come back with me!

Nicola Tesla. Mechanical Electrical Engineer. - Bobbin Threadbare

Y'see, we're not all bad.

I've been reading a biography of Stalin. Makes a change from my usual scientists.

Nicola Tesla. Mechanical Electrical Engineer. - jamie745

If all scientists were like Walter Bishop then i could really get into the subject lol.

Nicola Tesla. Mechanical Electrical Engineer. - Bobbin Threadbare

Is Walter Bishop off the telly? You're probably going to hate this too but I don't really watch the telly.

Nicola Tesla. Mechanical Electrical Engineer. - jamie745

Get your a*** onto Amazon and order box sets 1 and 2 of Fringe.

Nicola Tesla. Mechanical Electrical Engineer. - Bobbin Threadbare

Well what's it about? You can email me a description through Flickr to not fill up Dutchie's thread with unrelated stuff.

Nicola Tesla. Mechanical Electrical Engineer. - jamie745

I dont know how to use Flickr. I wont clutter up his thread too much i'll just try and briefly outline its based around Fringe science as you've probably gathered. It follows a three person team in the FBI (headlined Fringe division) who investigate strange, unexplained occurances known as the "pattern." The team is of an FBI Agent, a mad scientist (whos work many years previously for the government etc makes him qualified to know whats happening) who's been in a mental home for 17 years and now released, and the third member is the Scientists son. It explores all the classic fringe science themes as they go from case to case. The recurring theme is that of there being an alternate reality to us, another universe, and the fabric between our two worlds is breaking apart as the two worlds merge, and ultimatley only one world can survive. It was maybe a bit X-Filesy in the early episodes but has moved away and really become its own show now. In my opinion its the finest show currently on TV. If you're vaguely interested by that frankly terribly written description i'll chat to you more about it on Flickr if i can work out how to use the sodding thing.

Nicola Tesla. Mechanical Electrical Engineer. - Bobbin Threadbare

It's easy to use. One's ID for it is attached to any pictures uploaded. You click the person's name and then the envelope to send the person a message.

Nicola Tesla. Mechanical Electrical Engineer. - jamie745

Ok, shall i do a cut and paste jobby? lol. I just added you onto my Yahoo messenger by the way, dont know if you use it or not. If not i'll work out flickr :)

Iam with you not watching telly Bobbin.Stalin interesting caracter not that pleasant was he?One death a tragedy millions a statistic he did say that didn't he.

Nicola Tesla. Mechanical Electrical Engineer. - Bobbin Threadbare

He did. Reading the book, you can kind of see why people followed him though. Utterly ruthless, single minded and very charismatic. But also evil.

Nicola Tesla. Mechanical Electrical Engineer. - Dutchie
Sounds like a good book.I am reading a story about New York at the moment by Edward Rutherford.
