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.

What is it already...

Tested this with an Oscope to 50 khz with square waves.  Input and outputs were identical.  The box is potted so you cannot see how it is made.  It is a Bedini Interface enhancer of some sort.  Basically an input connected directly to an output.

I have no idea how much it cost or how many they sold.

That being said, I hear better defintion, sound stage, lower noise floor and a tube like holographic midrange when inserted into my system, and would part with this vintage gem for just $1000 ::) :D.

Interestingly, Bedini makes a Holography device called B.A.S.E. http://www.bedini.com/base.htm (http://www.bedini.com/base.htm)

Have you tried checking the left output while sending a signal into the right, or sending different waveforms into L+R to see if it does some mixing of the channels?
