[TCML] RE: musing on lists ( Wireless Transmission Theory)

[Jeff Behary]

How many people have read through Tesla's lectures, and wondered "What's the point?".  He described so many variations of coils and circuits and electrical discharge effects which are for most people completely meaningless and trivial.  
 
But for him, they were clearly not.  The smallest details fueled only more energy for further experimentation, and this experimenting led to a further understanding of his own inventions and their possibilities...
 
How many hundreds of coils and motors and vacuum discharge tubes did Tesla envision, create, and perfect in the 1890s before he even imagined a Colorado Springs lab or the Wardenclyffe tower??   More than most of us will see in our lifetimes, much less createand fully understand.
