Hey all I really appreciate the concern demonstrated
by this and other
posters. I really do see that there are cranks out
there. It struck a
blow to my sense of the basic goodness in human beings
when I saw a
photo of a destroyed tank tread in the desert with the
caption under it:
Sand Serpent. The person made claims that it was
moving and all. I guess
some people get a sick thrill from violating the
trust/gullibility of
others.

Maybe Dr. Tesla was a nut? A drooling psychopath. But
he went on from
the point of making claims about aetheric energy, to
invent many more
things, which could hardly have been the product of a
deranged mind. The
disk turbine, for example, that is just now starting
to get a little
recognition and use (though mostly as a pump).

Basically, this boils down to: I believe there is more
to the physical
universe than what stops moving at Zero Kelvin. It's
an intuitive thing.
I don't have a lot of math to back it up, but I am
going to experiment
and see if any of the claims of tapping it have been
real. One by one,
empirically, I am going down the line until I either
find something that
works, or prove to myself that my intuition was wrong.
Tesla, Bedini,
Bearden, "Joe", Pantone, Newman, Meyer. I'm starting
with the simplest
device first: The Tesla coil.

So thanks for all the warnings, but I am going into
this eyes-open.

Regards,
Jim
