Thanks for the links and videos. I enjoyed them.
Btw, I was in a Tesla vehicle this past weekend. Hardest seats I've ever sat in.
He was a great man that few people know about, even well educated individuals.....I composed the thread as my tribute to Tesla.

I am quite the "fighter" myself......but I expend most of that energy in the POC Forum......I hate bigotry and prejudice of ANY kind.

You are welcome......I'm glad you enjoyed my thread.

Sorry to hear about the seats.....very "sharp" looking car design though.....perhaps the designers overlooked comfort as they concentrated on battery performance and other high tech parameters.

Nice thread to offer well deserved tribute to a very unique awesome and talented individual.

lol - guess Tesla does have some claim to fame... at least to my knowledge at this moment, there is no top 50 rock band and/or car company named after Edison, Einstein, Westinghouse, etc.

Thankyou....I wanted to spread the world on Tesla and make sure folks realize all his accomplishments.

ROFL....the rock band sure ain't The Rolling Stones....I never heard of them until I composed this thread but I did hear of Tesla Motors; however their sales are in only the thousands......so they aint no General Motors in the public's psyche..

Tesla basically invented the modern world - the power grid, electric motor, broadcasting. There are conspiracy theories about an electric car that got energy from the earth's magnetic field - infinite mpg. It's interesting that the FBI seized his records. Under what pretext would these thugs seize the documents of a private citizen?

I concur completely......probably the greatest scientist and inventor of all time.......responsible for our modern world.

I often wonder why the FBI siezed all his writings etcetera as well.......seems suspicious to say the least. There is a link early in the thread with some of the documents released by the government but I doubt that everything has been made public.
