That's a Billion Watts of peak power!! - Awesome!!But was this an educated guess or did Tesla measure this current? and what with? I guess he could have used a compass that was nearby and then extrapolated maybe?
gigawatt peak powers are actually fairly easy to come by. Consider the usual run of the mill quarter shrinker. Discharge a kiloJoules in a few microseconds, and that's gigawatts.
Even easier to come by gigawatts with explosives _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla
