Wow. The things you can find on the internet

You know, you're right.

And it's just sitting there empty now. Maybe Disney could open a Disney-Russky water park?

Let's hope they cut off the electricity to that 9MA generator first. Or else you might be having a permanent "bad hair day."

Sez you! Art's where you find it.

Agreed.

Art who? Is it the guy who had a brother named Drew?

If I recall correctly, Tesla had figured out a way to transmit power/electricity wirelessly. Someone had purchased the patent and destroyed it to apparently keep people from receiving free electric. I wonder if this facility had anything to do with that?

I know perpual motion has been around for while .

I dont think I would want electicty flying around
but then I dont know enough about it..

there is already to many freq./ micro waves and stuff flowing through the air

Not exactly. As I recall, Tesla proposed that idea and was working on it, maybe even had it working. When he told his main financial backer, J.P. Morgan, that his idea was to distribute free electricity through the air, Morgan pulled his support. How would he make money transmitting free energy?

........When Nikola Tesla invented the AC (alternating current) induction motor, he had great difficulty convincing men of his time to believe in it. Thomas Edison was in favor of direct current (DC) electricity and opposed AC electricity strenuously. Tesla eventually sold his rights to his alternating current patents to George Westinghouse for $1,000,000. After paying off his investors, Tesla spent his remaining funds on his other inventions and culminated his efforts in a major breakthrough in 1899 at Colorado Springs by transmitting 100 million volts of high-frequency electric power wirelessly over a distance of 26 miles at which he lit up a bank of 200 light bulbs and ran one electric motor! With this souped up version of his Tesla coil, Tesla claimed that only 5% of the transmitted energy was lost in the process. But broke of funds again, he looked for investors to back his project of broadcasting electric power in almost unlimited amounts to any point on the globe. The method he would use to produce this wireless power was to employ the earth's own resonance with its specific vibrational frequency to conduct AC electricity via a large electric oscillator. When J.P. Morgan agreed to underwrite Tesla's project, a strange structure was begun and almost completed near Wardenclyffe in Long Island, N.Y. Looking like a huge lattice-like, wooden oil derrick with a mushroom cap, it had a total height of 200 feet. Then suddenly, Morgan withdrew his support to the project in 1906, and eventually the structure was dynamited and brought down in 1917.

This is getting interesting. Due to these tower photos I have been learning all about Tesla's Death Rays and the Chernobyl disaster. Interesting how one thing leads to another. I digress!

While Tesla was a real genius, he went quite insane at the end. And you will never be able to send large quantities of power "wirelessly." Nature will stop you.....

There are proposals for low power transmission (like charging a laptop) but the inverse square law has not been repealed.

Perpetual motion doesn't exist. No way, no how.
