> http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/technology/technology.html?in_ Your link was broken as received, but it looks like you're talking about http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/technology/technology.html?in_article_id=460602&in_page_id=1965 (we'll see if that one comes through) This has to do with Tesla only to the degree that he had a rather befuddled notion of sending power via broadcast. Unfortunately his failure to grasp the math of Maxwell's equations, even after Hertz elaborated them to show how they described the transmission of electromagnetic energy, meant that his proposals were all inherently unworkable. Meanwhile, those who do understand how electromagnetism works have been making use of this idea for decades. There are many stories of people living near large HV transmission lines, who, rather than simply suffering from lowered property values, have wrapped their homes in a liner coil which coupled with the EM field of the power lines, and transformed that field into useable power for their home, while simultaneously shielding the home from any detrimental effects which might be due to the field. In fact, I'm surprised you're not horrified by the health implications of saturating your living space with high intensity EM fields. [EDIT: Just noticed there is a link to a reader comments page at the bottom, and besides someone repeating my comment above, I see the members of the church of Tesla, Martyr, have come out of the woodwork to repeat their nonsense in endless repetition there.] ...I hadn't thought about this til right now, but this would be an excellent response by the folks in Tsawassen who are currently bent out of shape by the province's intent to drive the main power line for Vancouver Island through their backyards. As I recall, the courts have ruled in the past that utilities can't charge for energy which residents have pulled out of the air on their own property. The main problem is the amount of wire required is probably currently prohibitively expensive. -Pete _______________________________________________ Futurework mailing list Futurework@fes.uwaterloo.ca http://fes.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework
