Hi,

Many of us have those notes.  Richard Hull wrote a great little book on 
it.  Hard to find, but try!  Maybe time for a reprint!!

But the fact is, Tesla did not have the physical space available or raw 
power to get more than about 32 feet.  They was a big thread on this about 
2 1/2 years ago so you may want to check the archives.  The big numbers 
come from Tesla's mind wondering a bit while he was writing.  Re-read it 
carefully.  It got blown out of proportion in a few early books.

Wardenclyffe was never complete and not too many details are 
available.  However, he certainly may have been able to do a few limited 
experiments there even if it was not finished.

Cheers,

         Terry

BTW - www.hot-streamer-dot-com is a little blown up right now but should be 
back on-line soon.  Going to RAID hard drives "now" ;-))

Here is the LSS  (Long Sad Story...)

--------------

It was acting real sick and finally conked out.

It had a bad memory stick (caused many odd errors), the spindle the hard 
drive heads turn on was loose (caused odd HD errors), and finally the 
little flexible Kapton tape with the copper traces in it to the drive heads 
cracked and took it all down...

So far I have isolated the bad memory and it seems fine again.  I tore the 
whole mess down and cleaned and vacuumed it.  I put two new 80Gig drives in 
it with a RAID 1 controller.  New processor fan....

I reloaded the software and it is formatting disks right now and I hope to 
get the "stuff" loading back on from the USB backup drive 
tonight.  Probably be back on-line tomorrow and then a few more days to get 
everyone's passwords put back in and all.
