onoway Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Would there be any earthly use for this talent? A human generating station? This from the Discovery Channel.Austin Richards, from Santa Barbara, California, is known as Dr. Megavolt. He is a physicist with a love of lightning. At eight years old he was fascinated for the first time by a Tessler Coil, which throws out miniature bolts of lightning. Austin was so intrigued he built his own Tessler Coil, which gives out 150,000-volt bursts of lightning that he channels across his body by wearing a Faraday suit. Austin’s aim is to construct a mega-coil that will shoot 35ft bolts from his hands and head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshoe Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Hey, if it makes "Dr. Megavolt" happy, and doesn't hurt anyone else, more power to him. As for practical use, well, I sure don't see any. And it's "Tesla", not "Tessler", after Nikola Tesla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al_U_Card Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 When he took on J.P. Morgan, he was really revolting...except for his electric personality in high society. He then made camp outside of Denver but met a lot of resistance to his work. After he got tired of swatting flies, he went to work on a death-ray... A real American (Serbian) hero... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

han Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Shocked? I am perplexed! (ok couldn't quite do it but maybe someone will appreciate the effort) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matmat Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I could condense my thoughts on the the current thread into a profane statement, but that may induce others to resist anything i may potentially try to convey in the future. I am a well grounded person and I do not find this sort of pun-filled discussion electrifying. I am not a follower of such language and I do find it rather base. I charge that the people who try to imply that they have successfully created a pun by integrating two words have their circuits crossed.
