Hi Matt,

I'm a little confused with your including items d,e,f as missions of this list. This seems to be counter to your last paragraph.

I think Matt was asking a (semi-rhetorical) question as to options.


For myself, (a) and (c).. to a lesser extent (c)

This list grew in membership and respect because it kept its focus very specific: Solid engineering advice and development. Perhaps the time has come to once again define the mission of this list. Is it: a) to promote the art and science of safe Tesla Coil Building? (As it once was) b) to promote any and all of Tesla's devices? (Thermomagnetic engines, bladeless turbines,etc.) c) to promote any and all high voltage devices? (Lifters, rail guns, lasers, fusion devices, etc.) d) to speculate endlessly on anything that Tesla was claimed to have done, or thought of doing or was interested in? (UFOs, Free Energy, Time travel, Teleportation, Interdimensional Travel, Fuelless cars, etc.) e) to proselytize the gospel of the prophet Tesla, who is not dead but gone to a higher resonance?
f) Something else.

IMO, the further away from (a) we get, the more it becomes like the speculative groups.
 (Yahoo yahoos.)

I believe that when this topic comes up, as it does every year (like crabgrass) it needs to be simply explained that it was one of "the Maestro's" boo-boos, that it never has worked because known, verifiable, scientific principles are against it, and then move on. Those who wish to speculate and believe in the face of all evidence should be gently redirected to the groups that feed on speculation and "tabloid science" .
