Not Tesla, but Borderlands Sciences. Eric Dollard and crew. Peter Lindeman. Here's an excellent weird video of their's from 1988? Tesla's Longitudinal Electricity, 1 hr http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6461713170757457294 Or if you don't want the 1-hr version, here's a short clip from youtube Tractor Beam, 6min http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N57o13ADadg This "tractor beam" video is stunning for me. I've been trying to figure out how to put a synchronously pulsed x-ray generator on top of a Tesla coil, a quick and dirty test. Having an x-ray source floating at extreme high voltage AC should make it act as a rectifier, pulse-ionizing the air and putting out DC at extreme high voltage. It should produce weird electrostatic forces, perhaps moving the air and solving the problem of how to make an efficient "lifter" aircraft. I've become convinced that this is how Tesla's rumored "antigravity" probably worked, see some illustrations: Tesla's ion ray technology http://amasci.com/tesla/tesray1.html So then I stumbled across their video... and they've already done this! They somehow found a small incandescent bulb which contains hard vacuum. Stick it on a Tesla Coil circuit so the whole bulb sits at high AC voltage, but also the filament lights up. And what do they observe? Weird inexplicable forces! But they wrongly assume that they've discovered something totally outside of physics, when I'm pretty sure that they've just duplicated Tesla's single-electrode x-ray generator (and used it to change their Tesla coil into a VandeGraaff.) AC to DC, plus fierce x-rays too, so if I'm right, the lightbulb experiment above should make a geiger counter go crazy. (((((((((((((((((( ( ( ( ( (O) ) ) ) ) ))))))))))))))))))) William J.
