Re: Teslas Ball Lightning

In any case, my point is, if Pikes Peak was so far from the power
station, then surely the transmission line would have prohibited the
high frequency oscillations from melting down the generator due to
damping and attenuation in going from Pikes Peak to the generating
plant.  Therefore the 1MW generator must have died from over current,
i.e Tesla was pulling the full 1MW.  - Just an idea, comments would be
appreciated, and so would confirmation about what power plant Tesla
was 'using' for his experiments.

Also another fact I discovered about CS Pikes Peak.

"At an elevation of 6,035 feet, Colorado Springs has two-thirds the
oxygen found at sea level and Pikes Peak (14,110 feet) has only
one-half."

I am confused here and am wondering if I missed a message in this thread. Who said Tesla was set up on Pikes Peak? Everything I have read states that his lab was just outside (now inside) Colorado Springs, not on Pikes Peak. (???)

Zap!
