Re: [TCML] Good article on Wardenclyffe

[Futuret <futuret@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

My understanding is that Tesla's electricity distribution method could
not have worked, because the losses through the ground would be too large.

Wardenclyffe seemed to be just an ordinary Tesla coil.  There was a large
system of long metal rods embedded into the ground extending radially
outwards from the base.  This was for the purpose of trying to get a good
"grip" on the ground... basically to get a good low impedance connection
to the ground.  There was some talk of possible modulation schemes
for the energy.  A large metal topload was used for the purpose of
preventing the formation of spark streamers.  This way the energy
would be more efficiently transferred to the ground.  Maybe this was
all mentioned in the article.  I didn't read it.

This thread is getting off-topic I think.  

Cheers,
John

Hi,



Good article.  Thanks for linking it.



Someone would have to have all the details of exactly how it was made.  Does 

that information exist?  I'd love to see it though.  It was a very big Tesla 

coil of some sort, was it not?  It must have been a special kind.  Who here 

would know?

It does raise a question in my mind (especially after reading all the 

letters on the subjects of how Tesla coils can play havoc with appliances): 

If there was wireless electricity like what Tesla envisioned, what would it 

do to people's appliances?  What would it do to people?  Would it increace 

lightning strikes?  How would it impact the enviroment?  There could have 

been weird side effects.
