There's been a lot of interest in Tesla floating about the community, with some of his more popular accomplishments (or claims depending on who you ask). What I'd like to see happen now is for some new ideas to crop up.
In the interest of being thorough, I'll say that the Tesla turbine (and quite a few uses for it) has been done a few times over, and the wireless power is one of the more ...
I will have to think about that..... as well as look for the "Notebook" I purchased a few years back on this subject . Thanks for reminding me of it :-)
earth quake machine in mythbusters was busted, so meh
radio, I believe he did it in a very complex way with custom equipment
ball lightning, are you talking about the "lightning/fire" he held in his hand? I'm working on an instructable on that. But first I have to finish my various tesla coils (stupid NST being all broke)
Currently I'm working on the world's smallest tesla coil.
...
Awesome, I can't wait to see what you come up with (on both fronts)!
Also, as much as I really wish I could go work with those guys, I don't consider the work the Mythbusters do to be the final word on any subject. There's usually some variable (or several) that they missed. They only have so much time and resources to spend on each project after all. I wouldn't let that stop you from trying ...
From what I see in his theories the first half of wireless power is simple, Ionizing a 'beam' of air to conduct along, assumably the circuit is completed ina similar manner with a return, the problem is you'd need to have A few mega volts of potential from what I understand, to get it to work where the air is ionized by the motion of the electrons moving at near light speed, rather than a ...
"...earth quake machine in mythbusters was busted, so meh..."
That's true, but according to Wikipedia, when Tesla was around, buildings weren't built to withstand earthquakes. It could still be worth it to build one. But you would need something small, simple, and inexpensive to test it on - perhaps an old, kid's swing set or playhouse.
And even if it doesn't make something collapse, Tesla ...
Maybe someone could try to recreate a carbon-button lamp. I would try it myself, but I don't have any way to vacuum out the air, or seal off the vacuum. ALSO, BE CAREFUL: THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF X-RAYS.

Sorry, I posted a page for the project and wanted to put it on the Tesla group page, but I messed up. Here's a link to the page:

Very nice indeed!
Feel free to create a new topic with a summary - maybe any Q&A or FAQs or even questions you have (or even just a duplicate, as bad as that sounds). Or, just create a new topic with the express purpose of linking to that one.
Or, let that link suffice, Personally, I fear it'll eventually disappear into the depths of this topic, but it's completely up to you how to handle ...
"... I fear it'll eventually disappear into the depths of this topic..."
Very true, I didn't think of that. I'll make a new topic in the Nikola Tesla group. Thank you.
I think the "timelessness" thing he said was just one of Nikola's quirks. He tended to get so involved in his work that he didn't notice time passing; often, by accident, he would work for days without sleeping. It happened pretty much every time he worked on something, it wasn't the result of a time machine.

acctualy, myth busters didnt bust it. Infact myth busters often "bust" because their bank account for that show is going the same way. Mechanical resonance is very interesting and is similar to electrical resonances. Everything has its own resonant frequency dependant on structure, materials, and other environmental details. Not just one frequency may excite a structure. Tesla was interested in standing waves that...

Just sent out most recent pitch ideas. All ideas were 2... Just sent out most recent pitch ideas. All ideas were 2 statements or less. Very teasable ideas.I do miss writing news topicals sometimes :(
