Tesla coil Anti-Car Theft Device Made of Awesome and Win. And Electricity.

Posted by mistergroonk in Just Freaking Neat, Technology, Tesla on February 28, 2007

If Tesla were alive today, he’d zap our enemies with his hand-held death ray, power America’s iPods remotely with his stabby thoughts, then run into a locked kitchen to have supper away from prying eyes.

He’d do all that and make this sweet ass anti-car theft system out of a coil that bears his name. Like Australian Peter Terren did above.

Canada Knows All of Teslaâ€™s Secrets

Posted by mistergroonk in Google-fied, Just Freaking Neat, Science, Tesla, Video on November 16, 2006

Catching up on my Diggnation podcasts I learned of this documentary “The Missing Secrets of Nikola Tesla” on Google Video.

I’ve learned a a few things about Tesla recently. The man was a freaking insane genius. I think he is the epitome of both words in one freakishly tall man.

That’s the full documentary above. A full 46 minutes of the odds and ends of Tesla. I wonder if it mentions the Five Fists of Science.

REPOST: Tesla’s “Whirligig”

Posted by mistergroonk in Admin, Tesla on February 19, 2006

Or rather:

” Tesla’s 0 Time Reference Generator”

This was constructed by Tesla in the 1920’s, and was said to be a strange device, as it when it is turned on, you can hear it lock into the rotation of the earth.

Matt Fraction Could by My New Hero

Posted by mistergroonk in Books, Comics, Tesla on August 29, 2005

“The Five Fists of Science is the story of Mark Twain and Nikola Tesla teaming up to bring about world peace by compulsion– and how that peace will interfere with the plans of an evil science cabal led by Thomas Edison,” says writer Matt Fraction. “An all-out war between magic and science is fought on the streets of New York City in 1899, and it is an absolutely true story, up to a point.”
