I found a great book that taught me about an inventor of little know fame. He is NIKOLA TESLA. Everyone's heard of the TESLA COIL, but did you know he invented the flourescent light bulb, the turbine engine, the particle beam weapon, even radio transmission? He died a very poor man and it's due to the fact that he rarely got patents on his inventions. He once resided out West where he did some experiments with lightning. He could hear a thunderstorm coming 100 miles away. What a great man he was and so many things he gave us to help simplify our lives. What is your take on this man? Are you familiar with his inventions? Should he be recognized for the things that he invented?

Nikola Tesla is my idol!
There is a great deal more to his story than the books convey, like the Pierce Arrow electric car he made that could hit 90mph and had no batteries.
Resonance is the key to the future. Another hero in the field of resonance was Royal R. Rife... he Cured cancers (many types) and was rewarded by being shunned by the AMA and eventually poisoned.
There are over 4,000 supressed patents by the USPO that we may never see, no wonder why Mr. Tesla chose to forego the patent system.
Should be fun when we run out of oil!

Nikola Tesla was a great man ..unfortunatly he was in the way of many beacose of his experiments ...and I belive that he managed to discover something ...Obviosly about energy...that was not liked by people with influence . petrolium tycoons make huge amounts of money ...if an alternate source of energy appeared they would lose big time.
