Re: [TCML] TV Heads UP: Tesla, History Channel, 14 May, 8PM, EDT



Hey Jeff,

Great job! I had a blast watching the special! I enjoy Modern Marvels format and I thought they did a great job here as well. Sure, it would be great to have the time to inlay much more detail, but still, the show was interesting and as David pointed out, I was impressed with their attention to giving credit to Tesla for his inventive spirit and how that spirit changed our world. I think they really drove that aspect home to the crowds enjoying the show.

The bicycle analogy was too cool! Got a real kick out of that. Really enjoyed Sam's glass shattering demo as well.

Kudo's to all of you involved!

There are probably some on the TCML that missed it. Will they be running the special again soon?

Take care,
Bart

Hi Jeff, all,


I just watched that special this evening. I thought it was one of
the best Tesla documentaries that I've seen ;^) I got a chance to see a few of the TCML thread contributors such as you, Sam Barros, and Jeff Behary as well as seeing some of those beuatiful coils, too. Lots of nice arcs and sparks footage ;^)) I was also glad that they showed Ed Wingate's maggie in action, too. Loved seeing those umpteen-stacked 1256Ds behind Sam Barros as well as those 3 huge pigs behind you for the Beijing Olympics Tesla coil. Overall, it was well worth watching and it gave Tesla the proper credit that has long been overdue.

   Minor Note:
    History Channel can be a lot less then accurate, in their
    history...

They did their best on this one but constantly asked us to simplify our explanations for "the folks at home".

So what starts out as a brilliant explanation turns into mush... :-)
