This guy is pretty cool. Created electricity and shit.

I always made lots of Tesla coils in Red Alert. If only the Russians did this in real life.

And he was quite attractive too.

>>700158
And he was quite insane too.

did he ever get around to exploding the world in half?

Tesla is srsly my hero. It's a pity he died alone.

Aside from what OP mentioned:

-Invented radiography.
-Had (supposedly complete) plans for a projected-energy "death ray" weapon. Is this win? y/y
-Wall of light which could teleport shit, like OP mentioned. Also proposed similar technology for creating energy shields. Also awesome? y/y
-Moar anti-grav tech. The ships he wanted to create were saucer or cigar shaped and would be fast and efficient.

The government stole all his shit when he died. This is known as a fact... Fuckers. ;_;

>>700159
Yes. That's why he was awesome.
Insane and attractive.

In his patents for things like the free energy generator or death ray, he would leave out small but crucial things. Perhaps he knew exactly where his inventions would lead, but was to proud to throw them out in fear.

>>700162
BUT, it's also a theory that he faked his death the same way as his assistant to south america. Who knows, maybe they live in their wall of light, never aging, and flying around his flying saucers!

Fun side note: he was also the template for all mad scientists in the funny papers

I still wonder what would he do if he lived in this modern age.

I've heard of some other crazy inventions he made too. He supposedly made a wireless power factory in the twenties and i've heard a story where he was seen carrying a giant glowing light bulb that had no power source. I've also heard of his cold energy project where he created electricity that was safe to the touch and felt cold.

I'm still pissed every time I hear someone praise edison...... especially the stories about his hundreds of attempts at the light bulb. Yeah he figured it out.... after he STOLE it from tesla....

>>700164
Yeah, the wireless energy was the wardenclyffe tower, explain in op.

>>700172
Edison offered to give him $10,000 once, if he could figure out all the problems with Edison's DC current system, if memory serves.

Two months later, after solving it and expecting the money, Edison replied, "I'm afraid you do not understand the concept of American humor."

.....Prick.

should have made a Tesla Coil and shocked Edison imo.

I think Edison also started a smear campaign against him by showing an electric chair killing, axplaining that Edison's DC current was the 'harmless' electricity, knocking out the prisoner, while Tesla's AC current was 'dangerous' and was what killed him, when it was in fact the other way around.
Prick indeed.

> .....Prick.

Typicaly American!

>>700172
Every single thing Edison gets praise for was someone else's idea.

>>700158
I thought I was the only one.....
Insane and attractive ftw.
I'm reading a biography about him currently.

>>700252
what the fuck kind of dumbass shit is that anyway?

HURRR ELECTRICITY IS DANGEROUS EDISON WAS HERE TESLA IS A LOSER

>>700282
I mean, look at the OP's pic.

How can't you love him?

sage for Tesla

not Tesla again... I still have nightmares from the last time

How would have his inventions affected us I wonder.
To bad he only needed funds to complete his work.

>>700337
yeah bruh let's post some complete bullshit creepypasta we stole from /b/ instead

Pearls, too, were one of Tesla's phobias. If a woman guest at a dinner party to which he was invited wore pearls, he was unable to eat. Smooth round surfaces, in general, were an abomination to him; it had even taken him a long time to learn to tolerate billiard balls.

major bump!

bump.
Tesla shoult have been da man. He was so far ahead of his time that we have not got there yet!

This man is my hero.

>>700144
Nominating Tesla himself as SCP-001

>>702070
brix shat.
YES.

>>700232
i thought it was 50k

What do you guys think of Jesus and all of his magic powers? The man was simply amazing at invoking the power of God to do miraculous things.

His dying on the cross for example used his blood as a giant sin eraser. It sent his blood to God and bounced off the other side and back to the earth. The massive amount of mercy already in God from previous floods, plagues, etc. was picked up along the way. This could go through many cycles and actually succeeded. It created more forgiveness than apologizing and ended up saving the souls of all the people that symbolically drank Jesus' blood.

His powers of resurrection were proposed to use the magic of God to create a space where time and physics could be manipulated to bring people back from the dead with no side effects. Awesome.

His transmutation powers were able to turn nasty desert water into awesome wine which tastes better than modern wines. Conspiracy?

He proposed ways to use faith in God to create a way of walking that ignored gravity and let you move across water. Also conspiracy?

Interesting shit.

>>702259
Protip: Jesus is dead, you can't conspire against a corpse.
Go die.

>>702275

Unlike Tesla and his magic powers.

>>702287
both of which are still at large in the world today

>>702070
>>702070
>>702070

FUCK YES.

anyone ever read his autobiography? I think it was called My Inventions. Pretty short book but it had some really interesting stories from his life.

Tesla's dead too.

>>702311
Prove it!

he once generated a floating electric ball (like ball lightning, I suppose) which passed into him and made him see ghosts for a few hours
don't remember where I read that, but still, all /x/philes should do this so we can see ghosts n' shit

>>702331
Suddenly GHOST BLOWJOB WOO WOO became a reality.

Fuck yeah, Tesla!

Tesla, hero of /x/. Somebody make a macro.

>>702331
that reminds me of the ghosts that appeared as balls of light.Orbs or whatever.

ghosts are the electromagnetic fields we leave behind when we die!!

teslabump

tesla is still alive

"Tesla may have suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder,[97] and had many unusual quirks and phobias. He did things in threes, and was adamant about staying in a hotel room with a number divisible by three. Tesla was also noted to be physically revolted by jewelry, notably pearl earrings. He was fastidious about cleanliness and hygiene, and was by all accounts mysophobic. He greatly disliked touching round objects and human hair other than his own.

Tesla was obsessed with pigeons, ordering special seeds for the pigeons he fed in Central Park and even bringing some into his hotel room with him. Tesla was an animal-lover, often reflecting contentedly about a childhood cat, "The Magnificent Macak". Tesla never married. He was celibate and claimed that his chastity was very helpful to his scientific abilities.[22][98] Nonetheless there have been numerous accounts of women vying for Tesla's affection, even some madly in love with him. Tesla, though polite, behaved rather ambivalently to these women in the romantic sense."

100% of Tesla's inventions are the product of his salesmanship, 70% of them are unbuildable, 30% of them work, and 10% of them work as well as he said they would.

^___^

best people come from the balkans, and they're also the ones that get the most fucked ovar

>>704581
What the fuck is your point? You just described like, every company in existence.

>>704529
So Tesla was gay? I mean, come on, why else would he spurn women while being revolted by "round objects" (i.e., tits)?

I feel an odd connection to him through his inventions for some reason...After building a small scale AC generator, I've had an extremely strong interest in Mr. Tesla/
But about those pigeons, he named one of them his "wife"...So much for celibacy.....

>>704657
Lol if you're not hetero you're gay.

He was probably asexual.

Yo, wanna shit some bricks /x/?

Some guy wrote some theory that Wardenclyffe was his directed energy weapon...and the result of his test was the Tunguska Explosion.

Also interesting: when the government tore down Wardenclyffe tower, they said it was because enemy ships could use it as a landmark to determine their location on Long Island...but what about all the lighthouses?

It is a mystery

Hurf Durf Durf here's the link

Same damn fag.

>>704722

the Tunguska explosion!? LIKE NO WAY MAN! that's totally in Siberia dudeeeeeee

>>702325
>>704495
That would make him about 152 years old.
I dun thenk su

WE LOVE YOU DADDY!

he was a genius everything you hear about him is true and then some.

he was a genius did u know that he invented electircity? also he had a death lazer tha tworked but the government destryed because they were in a period of military buildup andhad no use for superweapons. CONSPIRACY??? alsp i don't know if u guys heard but he had a a earthquake machine and even tho mythbusters built acopy and it didnt work im sure this is just bcause the CONSPIRACY???
Bcause tesla was such a cool guy and made a thosand things that all worked exactly like he said they would every time and he never lied hes probably alive today as a zombie.
OMG we should make heim scp 001!!!

>>704914

failtroll.

But let me feed you. He invented AC, while Edison made DC. AC electricity is better then DC.

He had plans for a deathlaser. Whether it would have worked however is debatable, and that's why the Government stopped it, they saw it as a drain of resources when they were building feasible weapons.

His "Earthquake" machine just used Hertz to play frequncies of stuff, like buildings. The "Earthquake" bit you're getting from is that he worked out there were longitudinal and transverse waves in the Earth, and he worked out that the Earths reseonance ~8 Hertz.

Tesla was a good inventor, though. He invented radio, and the Tesla coil, being his two most famous inventions.

Now get the fuck back to /b/.

>>704983

AC is not inherently "better" than DC. It's less lossy for transmission over long distances, which is why we use it for our power transmission, but it's not that great at powering electronics. This is why you have a power supply in your desktop and an AC adapter for laptops to convert to DC.

I also think your grasp of resonant frequencies is tenuous at best.

>>700144
He was a genius inventor.
Though I think too many people swallow whole too many stories about him and don't apply enough skepticism.

>His wall of light was proposed to use the sun's light to create a space where time and physics could be manipulated. Awesome.
Without more information, this sounds like bafflegab.

>His bladeless turbine was many times more efficient than today's turbine engines. Conspiracy?
Many times sounds like an exaggeration. So what efficiency did his turbine run at compared to an efficient modern turbine?
Conspiracy? If it's so efficient, commercialize it and sell it.

>He proposed ways to use his earth battery to create a vehicle that ignored gravity. Also conspiracy?
Or maybe the idea was never developed or never would have worked. Conspiracy?

>>705000
That's not why. AC isn't less lossy over long distances. AC was used in the beginning because at the time the cheapest way to get high voltages (good for long distance transmission) was with solid-state maintenance-free transformers.

>>705005
I love you

>>705011
I really mean no-moving-parts rather than solid-state, even if it is still solid.

>>705001
Op here,
Who said I believed these would work? The point is, he was actively trying to make these work, and probably could have with funding, and more precise mechining.

About the wall of light, It was a theoretical invention, where electromagnetic waves would be altered in different patterns and frequencies. That's all i know, look it up yourself.

>Many times sounds like an exaggeration. So what efficiency did his turbine run at compared to an efficient modern turbine?

Ok, it was an exaggeration. While today's turbines run at about 80-98% efficiency, tesla's patented turbine could run exceeding 95%. Still amazing for being designed around 1913. And with today's technology, it could certainly reach higher efficiencies.

>Or maybe the idea was never developed or never would have worked. Conspiracy?
Again, missing the point. He proposed these machines to have a certain shape of a saucer. The kind that were reported to have been seen, also coinidentally, after 1880, when he invented it. Why would these machines show up only now, if they were really aliens? These are military machines that were developed up until his death. Remember Roswell? A flying saucer of his design crashed only 4 years after his death. Hmm.

>>705788
sauce?

>>700144
The wardenclyffe tower was never completed. They ran out of funds. How could an incomplete tower generate more electricity from lightning?

Most of Tesla's inventions were written, but never tested. all these "experiments" are pretty much rumors.

>>702259

do you think that the bible interprited the whole turning water into wine thing wrong, maybe he just watered down the wine or that he was really good at brewing wine it's mostly water anyways.

>>705001

>>If it's so efficient, commercialize it and sell it.

Corporations are incredibly resistant to changes in the fundamental designs of their products.
To use someone else's metaphor, a new chip is easy to accept, but attempting to change the actual structure of a computer is much more difficult.

There actually has been a man who for the past decade or so has been trying to get people to buy into his biomimicing rotary devices, which would vastly improve the efficiency of almost every piece of machinery with moving parts. Yet, no one seems to be paying him any attention.

ELECTROBUMP!

>>707174
Do you think everything in the bible is interpreted wrong?

>>707249
source of said man? name, info, website, etc.

hey... so lets talk about how tesla's patents are in use in the HAARP array in alaska. They are using his deathray now. The frequency of major hurricanes, cyclones and earthquakes has risen sharply since george w. bush took office. when myanmar refused american help with their catastrophe, all of a sudden, another cyclone was on its way... when they relented, the cyclone disappeared. also, the quake in sichuan, look on youtube for the weird prismatic lights in the sky before the quake... just saying its some weird wild stuff

>>707468
>look on youtube for the weird prismatic lights in the sky before the quake

first thing that came to mind when i read your sentence. sounds a bit farfetched, but its still unexplained.

>>707468
HAARP is for ionosphere research

>>707571
we have a mole

>>700170
He'd browse 4chan and live in his parent's basement, accomplishing nothing.

tesla is fukken awesome

"Chronicles of the Bizarre and Eccentric"

Is the book, only one chapter on Tesla though.

>>708170again

Ignore that link, it isnt translated :/

Telsa? lol

SAGED.

>>708199
Any chance on getting the translated version? It sparked my interest.

Tesla here,

You are all faggots.

That is all.

??? ??? ??? ????? ??? ???

I can propose things too.

I propose a big rocket capable of carrying 7 males and 16 females each of every species of flora and fauna (and humans) into space. It would act like a Noah's Ark in the event of the Earth's imminent destruction.

There. Proposed.

SCIENCEAWARDSPLEASE

>>708466
Now build the rocket, and gather up all of the mentioned organisms.

That's what he did. He just wasn't able to us his creations to their extent.

I think Tesla is a pretty cool guy. Eh invents electricity and doesn't afraid of anything.

>>709602
There's a large differece between discovering something and inventing something. That's like saying Galileo invented Callisto and Io because he was the first to look at them with his telescope.

I think Tesla is a pretty cool guy, eh invented wall of light and doesn't afraid of anything.
