You are correct about no one knowing about him, AND no one knows Nikola Tesla gave us the AC power grid we now take for granted every second of the day. He also invented the radio, despite most history books giving that credit to Marconi. Unfortunately for us Tesla was WAY too far ahead of his time, however in retrospect had he been born just 5 years sooner he would have been ahead of the 'other' guys of his time that have taken credit for his work. The is absolutely no way to know what he could have given us in today's time. Edison was a sorry b*stard who tried to discredit Tesla at every turn. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chad]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 23rd 2008 10:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Goodbye Power Cords: Intel Testing Wireless Power]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/08/22/intel-demos-a-wireless-power-broadcasting-system-villagers-terr/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/08/22/intel-demos-a-wireless-power-broadcasting-system-villagers-terr/</guid><description><![CDATA[DarkLight, you are correct in stating that Nikolai Tesla invented this system about 100 years ago.

Not to mention the dangers that undoubtedly will be found in this technology will make Intel's and Tesla's research completely and utterly useless. On a side note, is it just me or does anyone else find it hilarious that the people who are going on about Tesla and his research are making the most obvious typos of anyone to post a comment? ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sean]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 24th 2008 3:18AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Goodbye Power Cords: Intel Testing Wireless Power]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/08/22/intel-demos-a-wireless-power-broadcasting-system-villagers-terr/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/08/22/intel-demos-a-wireless-power-broadcasting-system-villagers-terr/</guid><description><![CDATA[Darklight is right.<br>This is nothing new, windings in the transmitter and the Magnetic flux travels to the receiving windings.<br><br>Has anyone determined how much more power needs to be generated on the transmitting end to drive the 75 watt bulb? 100,150,200watts?<br><br>I suspect this is very inefficient.<br>Just plug the d** thing in and use this toy as a science experiment.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 23rd 2008 8:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Goodbye Power Cords: Intel Testing Wireless Power]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/08/22/intel-demos-a-wireless-power-broadcasting-system-villagers-terr/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/08/22/intel-demos-a-wireless-power-broadcasting-system-villagers-terr/</guid><description><![CDATA[the effeciency is 75% a 75 watt bulb is powered by 100 watts with the system]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dieter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 24th 2008 1:29AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Goodbye Power Cords: Intel Testing Wireless Power]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/08/22/intel-demos-a-wireless-power-broadcasting-system-villagers-terr/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/08/22/intel-demos-a-wireless-power-broadcasting-system-villagers-terr/</guid><description><![CDATA[While most people have heard of Marconi and Edison, Tesla's fame has waned in and out over the last century.  Part of the reason for it, was his own arrogance, abrasive perosnality, inability to compromise and overall flamboyant claims that failed to come true significantly reduced his credibility.<br><br>You still have conspiracy theorists trying to duplicate his mythical "Tesla Turbine" to this day!  The physics and math on this one, was done sixty years ago.  The fact is, Tesla lied and that is why no one can duplicate his magical turbine but his underdog status has people chasing his ghost over one hundred years later.  <br><br>Yes, he was an amazing genius but his glaring character flaws and repeated lies are why he is left out of most history books.<br><br>  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 23rd 2008 9:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Goodbye Power Cords: Intel Testing Wireless Power]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/08/22/intel-demos-a-wireless-power-broadcasting-system-villagers-terr/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/08/22/intel-demos-a-wireless-power-broadcasting-system-villagers-terr/</guid><description><![CDATA[Tesla was brilliant.

If the government hadn't seized his papers after he died we would have had this a long time ago.  Tesla was far ahead of his time.
