>Astrolabe, Analog Computer Yes, I already knew what you were talking about, hence my response. >Oh yes, I expect to be taken very academically on Poal. If you're making fun of Poal for being notoriously ignorant and anti-academic, then you're correct. Poal is not going to win any awards, any time soon, for anything ground breaking (however, some folks have done some original press-related research into things and found some good stuff but 4chan is better at that (but crawling with a mountain of idiocy to find the research gems)). However, I have learned a lot of good stuff, politically, from Poal/Voat over the years. Stuff no one really talks about when it comes to news and politics. >His vision was to easily power many people's entire homes/lives from one power plant. Dare I say "free" energy? " No, that's not free energy, like I said. We literally cannot violate the laws of physics: second law of thermodynamics applies no matter how much of the occult you believe in when it come to Tesla. Wireless energy transmission is still a thing bit why with all his writings and documentation have we not been able to create a concept like this? It's because he theorized it, but did not produce anything tangible even in written form to support this amazing/great wireless energy. There's zero-point energy ideas but that's for a 100 years down the road. Best we got is fusion. It's the greatest amount of matter annihilation we can come up with at the moment because it is far too energy intensive to create anti-matter from scratch in our particle accelerators. Best "free energy" option we have, at this moment, is drilling into the mantle where it is hot, piping water through it, and making geothermal energy. Solar is not efficient enough. That's where we are with "free" energy.
