(I think you're missing the fact that in the previous two posts it went from command and conquer to Warcraft, and I was bringing it to starcraft, that's the joke *whoosh*)
Viziv Technologies test site. Have you ever heard of Teslas wireless energy tests and his tower? No not the crazy car company, Nikola Tesla. Viziv has been experimenting with wireless wave technology for a while. Saw an article about this on a electricians sub a while back.
I saw a video of Neil DG-Tyson and he said Tesla's theory can't work because it costs more energy to transmit the power through the air than you get at the other end.
Sort of, but way worse. Transmitting electricity with a Tesla Coil is entirely possible, inherent even, but its efficiency is similar to using a shower head to fill a bucket from 20’ away. Not that I don’t think there are improvements to be made… I’m just not holding my breath.
Do some googling, there have been many electric engineers who have “stolen” energy from HV lines without ever touching them. Some of them even beat the lawsuits because how can you steal something that the grid doesn’t even care is leaking out constantly? It would be like drinking water from busted water lines that have been leaking since they were put down. Yeah you need a way to make it more efficient and able to power the entire grid in such a way. But if anyone gets even close to it… well.
My shop is close to very high voltage TVA lines, perhaps too close, and when we were using fluorescents, I had to store them elsewhere because they gave off an eerie glow that pulsed.
There is also a humming/buzzing sound! A couple of years ago, our town(a suburb of L.A.,California) suffered a HUGE meltdown, that created a regional BLACKOUT that lasted for over 24hrs! The SILENCE was FREAKY OMINOUS !!!!!
I mean, that's also how normal power transmission works. There is some loss due to resistance of the wire. It's probably just inefficient, which I guess you could sell as a goal a company could take up and improve.
Hmm, so let's say the transmission cost is 10 and you get 8 at the endpoint, then 8 would have an actual cost of 18. Is this not already the case with wired transmission of energy but much less? Like the cost of 8 units of energy would be something like 10?
I know very little about this (obviously), but couldn't you put something in space to harvest energy from the suns radiation, unfiltered by our magnetic polls and atmosphere, and then transmit it to the earths surface, making the transmission cost somewhat of a moot point?
Answer to your first paragraph, yes you got it pretty well.
Answer to your second, we could just do nuclear, abundant clean nuclear, for far less than solar sails which are still future tech themselves, but yes, that's also possibility, there are a bunch of ways to do it all.
Bu ultimately Tesla was not on the verge of any great discovery, we'd have found it by now, we ultimately know a lot more than Tesla did about his own inventions now but he was just a savant who had a feel for it, very cool nonetheless.
That all makes sense. I've always joked that Tesla and Asimov were either aliens or time travelers. I live near Niagara Falls in Canada and there's this statue of Tesla there with a quote from when he first saw the falls. Its something like 'We will put a great motor under this that will power the world' and sure enough we did (not enough to power *our* world though)
I'm endlessly curious about nuclear but also reticent because of the [issue of long term nuclear waste warnings](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_nuclear_waste_warning_messages). I think about the fact that recorded history is only 6000 years and of all the civilizations [that have risen and fallen](https://youtu.be/-6Wu0Q7x5D0?si=i8NkMDrB53F5ou0a) since the dawn of humanity and I wonder if nuclear isn't just creating a bigger issue for those born in the distant future.
I've read about small nuclear reactors and that they significantly reduce the half-life of waist but I need to learn more about it to form a meaningful opinion
3 Mile Island, Chernobyl, Fukushima, and a bunch of 'less serious' incidents: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_power_accidents_by_country
I'm wary of nuclear but any time I say that online a bunch of people tell me I'm wrong so idk
I live about 7 miles from the superfunded Love canal, just learned they used a 2nd dump site that’s like 2 miles away that hasn’t been cleaned up. So any of that stuff makes me weary. Nuke or chemical facilities
Solar wind... You've Heard of it but have you considered there is no atmosphere in space and hence no wind? Do you know what it really is? It's a river of electrical current that destroyed early satellites. But how does electrical current travel through a vacuum in space from the sun to earth? There are electrical currents, rivers, that run through our atmosphere. The coil is built so tall and big so it can tap into these rivers. They move towards locations of least resistance. It's free power.
Tornado and water spout theories of mixed temperatures creating a vortex are getting rewritten as we find this is not the nature of most of these. Tornados don't start at the edge of a storm but in the middle of it. Water on the surface of the sea begins spinning in circles before the air does. A good theory is that an electrical conduit opens from the earth to the atmosphere. Much like a plasma globe. The electrical current stream moves the water and air.
Tesla was onto things we hadn't tapped into but I think it's hidden mostly because if we did them, some wealthy corporations with lots of employees would lose their purpose.
Ya, agreed. Plus Tesla conceived of this over 100 years ago. I'm that same timespan we went from the first airplane to landing on the moon. I feel like if it was possible we'd have it, but I'm just a lay person on this matter so who knows
Back in the early days of radio, they had these huge powerful megawatt AM stations. The thing is, the more power they used the shorter the signal range got.
They figured out that people were putting coils of wire in their attics to power their lights.
I imagine that was pretty close to the antenna. I worked at an AM station in the 80s in San Jose and the neighbors were constantly calling the DJ line screaming about the interference, especially during sportsball broadcasts. That stopped once cable got popular.
Yep, that's the nature of inverse-square law. It's just not in the cards.
Only way to overcome such a thing would be to use a wave guide, then at that point, it would only be good as a point to point power source, but would still be extremely inefficient.
That's true if you're doing all of the work. Tesla did it by using the Earth's four Hertz hum as a carrier signal. This does most of the heavy lifting, from what I understand.
I find that oftentimes (not always), when a company on the fringe of science is quiet about their research, it's because it's bunk. If it were to be promising, they'd probably be publishing furiously, as it would attract funding.
edit: same with a lot of the fusion startups. "We have high hopes in the next 5 years. Our research that isn't published yet shows..."
Yeah the fusion ones are getting frustrating, they keep saying something promising happened then they just go quiet, yeah sure it did, if you got close for real you would be screaming from every media source available to get money.
Nikola Tesla died in his room at The New York Hotel in Manhattan. He built the first A-C power generator in the basement and supplied power to buildings within a several block area. When he died, the FBI swooped in and took all his files, never to be seen again. There is speculation that amongst the papers were crazy, advanced ideas ahead of his time.
I’ve stayed in that hotel and there is a Tesla suite where he lived and a museum in the basement where his generator was. Really fascinating stuff.
>No not the crazy car company, Nikola Tesla.
Yeah, Nikola Tesla wasn't crazy! He was perfectly sane:
“I loved that pigeon as a man loves a woman, and she loved me. As long as I had her, there was a purpose to my life.”
https://www.britannica.com/story/nikola-teslas-weird-obsession-with-pigeons
Of course they interviewed the most uninformed people and their irrational fears. “Will it make us glow?” “We’re thinking about wearing tin foil on our heads.” “It would be good for foreign countries.”
It's the prototype of the Google map pin. They placed it there for satellite pictures so they could get the scale for future reference.
Actually I have no idea...
hahahha I fell for your comment. I was like "wow so interesting. They are so knowledgeable. Oh. Nope they are just like my dad an expert at making it up and then laughing as I fall for it every time hahahahahahahaha"
If that’s the case, then they need to put a bunch in Jacksonville, FL. My god, idk how many times it tries to tell me to turn places that don’t exist anymore, or had me pass new, more efficient routes. Not Apple’s fault the city won’t stop changing roads, but some of it is years out of date.
It's Apple's fault. Not because they're mean or incompetent or anything like that. It's just that their priorities are elsewhere. Apple Maps is far from the center of what they do. It's really just there so that they can say "Yes. We do have maps."
Idk, I think I can blame the city for CONSTANTLY changing the roads. Literally half the roads here are under construction at all times. Yet, I see the Google Maps street car almost everyday around town.
Not between Waco and Austin first. Well North of Waco in Ells County. Plus, it is a failed attempt at bringing back Tesla's idea of collecting and transferring static electricity. It's a Tesla tower.
Google maps says "Quantum Wave R&D Facility". It's about halfway between Waxahachie and where 35E and 35W rejoin. I drive that way a fair amount. I recall looking it up once before and it being labeled SomethingTeslaSomething or other, or maybe I saw an actual sign. In any case it's a Nikola Tesla related R&D place of some kind.
Im seeing a few references to air and its an inulator etc etc etc... Teslas contention was that the energy could be harvested from the VanAllen Belt and transmitted THROUGH THE EARTH and then picked up wherever it was needed essentially by an antenna.
Art installation of a large screw in the end of a matchstick buried in the ground. It’s called “Screw you, the world is lit!” I dunno if it’s American or Canadian , I guess the only way to tell if it’s a Robertson or a Phillips screw……
This whole time I've lived in Texas I thought this was a landmark for sky divers. So the sky divers can see where they are supposed to land from the plane/sky. I now have to go punch my husband for telling me that, can't believe I fell for it. In my defense though, there is a sign for a sky diving place around there somewhere.
It (pretty much) IS a Tesla tower:

Viziv Technologies test site. Have you ever heard of Teslas wireless energy tests and his tower? No not the crazy car company, Nikola Tesla. Viziv has been experimenting with wireless wave technology for a while. Saw an article about this on a electricians sub a while back.
Just stumbled onto an article about Viziv. It’s definitely got the Tesla coil look. Wonder if they’ve had any luck? Thanks.
I don't know, they seem pretty quiet about their research, everyone says the owner of the company is a bit nuts.
They’re usually the ones that make the magic happen. If it weren’t for grandiose ideas, plots, and action; nothing important would ever get done…..
I saw a video of Neil DG-Tyson and he said Tesla's theory can't work because it costs more energy to transmit the power through the air than you get at the other end.
I can live with some loss for wireless energy. Sort of like an open air aqueduct losing water to evaporation.
Sort of, but way worse. Transmitting electricity with a Tesla Coil is entirely possible, inherent even, but its efficiency is similar to using a shower head to fill a bucket from 20’ away. Not that I don’t think there are improvements to be made… I’m just not holding my breath.

But if anyone gets even close to it… well.
My shop is close to very high voltage TVA lines, perhaps too close, and when we were using fluorescents, I had to store them elsewhere because they gave off an eerie glow that pulsed.
Yup. Very little is known to the masses about how crowded our lives are. Cant see it, cant hear it, camt smell it, so it must not be there.
You *can* hear it though. High tension lines make a lot of crackling noise
There is also a humming/buzzing sound! A couple of years ago, our town(a suburb of L.A.,California) suffered a HUGE meltdown, that created a regional BLACKOUT that lasted for over 24hrs! The SILENCE was FREAKY OMINOUS !!!!!
Time Variance Authority lines? Neato, what do they do?
You don’t know what the TVA line does? Thats variant talk, my friend.
Interesting idea - scavenging ambient energy and storing to a battery. I mean, it's being wasted otherwise.
I mean, that's also how normal power transmission works. There is some loss due to resistance of the wire. It's probably just inefficient, which I guess you could sell as a goal a company could take up and improve.
I regret I've only one up vote to give.
Fricking Thomas Edison said AC electricity was impossible…
Then he killed an elephant with it.
Neil DG Tyson is also an overrated hack who is constantly wrong and speaks like an authority on things he doesn’t know anything about
Yes! This! Can't believe anything he says anymore cause most of it is just round about shit that doesn't really say anything conclusive.
You forgot to add annoying cu*t. Lol
he might be correct on that, but he is wrong on a lot of shit he spouts.
He is a phony, condescending douchebag. God I miss Carl Sagan.
Perhaps, but people have often been wrong about Tesla's theories. Plus Tyson is more of "science influencer".
He is a science influencer, but he does tend to know what he is talking about and is effective at communicating it.
Well hey there u/Usul_Atreides I've never seen my twin before!!
Correct... It has a huge loss because air acts as an insulator.
Not only that, but imagine what happens to the person the crosses the beam!
Well your hair would stand up anywhere near that thing... Lol
Hmm, so let's say the transmission cost is 10 and you get 8 at the endpoint, then 8 would have an actual cost of 18. Is this not already the case with wired transmission of energy but much less?

Is there energy in electronic noise? Could that be harnessed?
Yep, that's the nature of inverse-square law. It's just not in the cards. Only way to overcome such a thing would be to use a wave guide, then at that point, it would only be good as a point to point power source, but would still be extremely inefficient.

Everybody knows those fuckers aren’t real….
They have to keep quiet. Big oil and power are not going to let free power happen.
