Re: Tesla's Wireless Power Transmission

Hi Dick,

There is definately a lot of loss, altough you are right about the low
freq and subs.  Slow getting data across those links, but they sure
do travel.  I hope you didn't think I thought there was something
unusual about it.  In my loley opinion this is where Tesla might have
gone a little wrong, to much Ozone is my guess.  He got stuck
for a while on this invention and blew a lot of money not to mention
a big generator. ;-) He was on the right track though, for his time
he was amazing, and actually still is.  Today it is mostly about money
he was mostly about invention and tomorrow.  After all he really
did invent/discover radio waves.  We send high power based on
focused microwaves out in space now.

In fact here is a NASA dream, that congress probably won't fund.
Darn It.  Dang money and politics getting in the way of science even
though they help some of the time too.  Orbit large specialized solar
arrays around the sun.  Have them beam there power to another
satelite via microwave.  Then create a multi mega-watt laser with
all the power.  The laser would then drive a 35kilometer wide
solor sail.  This thing is supposed to be able to go 1/3 to 1/2 the
speed of light.  Solar Sails are the same things we do pseduo anti
gravity with out at white sands.  The little unmanned space craft that
float on laser light beams.  When it starts to reach it's top speed it
is theorized that the 35 km craft would expand to 50km.  :-)
Einstein and I have some similar thinking here.  Can you believe
this probably is not going to get funded anytime soon.  Can you
imagine this would be the fastest thing we ever launched.  We
could reach the nearest solor system in 8-10 years or so.

Cheers,
Bill Parn
