Tesla Museum Fund Raiser up Half a Mil!

[Jeff K1NSS]

Hey all,

Perhaps you've heard, perhaps not, of the amazing fund raiser now in progress to save Tesla's Wardenclyffe Laboratory in Shoreham NY. Over half a million bucks raised in a few days, mostly small contributions it seems. The Tesla Center group is shooting for 850K to get matching funds from NY state to buy the property, a former Agfa film processing plant. It's the same place Paul W1GUH and Hamilton KD0FNR and I "activated" from its busted up guard shack last fall as W3T special ops. Here's the link: http://www.indiegogo.com/teslamuseum. There's perks like mugs and tshirts and more for higher rollers, but I like the idea of lotsa smallbucks and love to think of Nikola Tesla as the first ham.

That really "sparks" my interest. I really hope they make it. Thanks for the post.

By the way, have a link for donations?

Lucky for you we have a high capacitance for puns, otherwise we might force you to shuffle off this mortal coil, Henry.

Let's not get all hysteresisical! Nothing could induce me to take that turn for the worse, short of three in the capacity hat.

Uh oh, this is beginning to sound like one of several variations on a theme, not Haydn but The Sex Life Of An Electron. Things really started happening when Randall and Boot taught him to dance in a Rhumbatron (magnetron) the predecessor of the Orgasmatron.

You broke my heart
'Cause I couldn't dance
You didn't even want me around
And now I'm back, to let you know
I can really shake 'em down

Do you love me? (I can really move)
Do you love me? (I'm in the groove)
Ah do you love me? (Do you love me)
Now that I can dance (dance).....

And those are the Contours that made waveguides possible.

Very cool!

While listening on my cosmic phone
I caught words from the Olympus blown.
A newcomer was shown around;
That much I could guess, aided by sound.


"There's Archimedes with his lever
Still busy on problems as ever.
Says: matter and force are transmutable
And wrong the laws you thought immutable."


"Below, on Earth, they work at full blast
And news are coming in thick and fast.
The latest tells of a cosmic gun.
To be pelted is very poor fun.
We are wary with so much at stake,
Those beggars are a pest—no mistake."


"Too bad, Sir Isaac, they dimmed your renown
And turned your great science upside down.
Now a long haired crank, Einstein by name,
Puts on your high teaching all the blame.
Says: matter and force are transmutable
And wrong the laws you thought immutable."


"I am much too ignorant, my son,
For grasping schemes so finely spun.
My followers are of stronger mind
And I am content to stay behind,
Perhaps I failed, but I did my best,
These masters of mine may do the rest.
Come, Kelvin, I have finished my cup.
When is your friend Tesla coming up."


"Oh, quoth Kelvin, he is always late,
It would be useless to remonstrate."


Then silence—shuffle of soft slippered feet—
I knock and—the bedlam of the street.
