Tesla was the man. Edison was a punk.

Both Edison and Westinghouse became rich off this poor mans inventions, which also included patents for radio!  I am not sure what this world would be like today if he had not lived.  Too bad he had little interest in the nuts and bolts of business, sort of the Carver of power generation.

Also at the bottom of the page is a black box that has not been identified yet.  I will bring it to the next meeting for auditioning.

I posted this some where else but i said that at least someone one this board knows who the real inventor of the radio is.
he was a bad man, warning! The po po don't like it when you make one of his coils and lite -light it off in the front yard. It messed up alot of phone and tv's but it sure was cool.

Hi Ron,

How is your subwoofers working out?  Good guess, but not that useful.

Hi Dale ,

They are phenomenal! Better than I had hoped for. I've had several people tell me that I should build and sell them.
