Hi Al, Hmmm... They said it's "Early in the project." I bet Cycle 25 beats them to the punch. Joe, K8MP Sent from AOL Mobile Mail That is, if the USAF has its way: <snip> Three teams are competing in
Does anyone remember Project West Ford (or Project Needles) back in 1961-1963? Something like 1/2 billion copper needles placed in medium earth orbit to enhance military communications capability. Oo

Lest we forget In the late 1890s, Nikola Tesla proposed that we ionize the entire rarified upper atmosphere for two purposes. First, it would be a means to carry significant electric current without
I agree. I am also a great fan of Tesla. Without Nikola, instead of a.c., we would probably have d.c. in evey household... and IMO we already have too much D.C. mixing in with our private lives. ;-)

One of our club members (W8CR) is a big Tesla fan. Craig built his own Tesla coil. It's BIG !!! (And of course it's a real crowd-pleaser whenever he brings it to a meeting or event) Joe, K8MP I agree

It remains a complete mystery to me why we do not have 3 phase power in all homes (as suggested by Tesla). With three phase poser, rectified DC power supplies could operate with virtually no filter c
3-phase power is not the universal blessing that you believe it to be. The overwhelming bulk of the power delivered to today's homes is to electronic loads, which draw highly distorted current, resul

3-phase power is not the universal blessing that you believe it to be. Well, I dont really think I said it was the universal blessing. I just said that there is a reason why 3 phase power is used in
I'm not sure what you mean by "intelligent power management system." But think about the fundamentals of how this might be done. You've got to reshape the total load current in each phase to make it
Hi Gary, I've written extensively about this in tutorials written for hams, and also for audio/video installation contractors. They're on my website. IMO, an extensive discussion is WAY off topic of

I agree, this is off topic now and will read your reference . Thanks, Gary _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailma
3 phase is easy if you have a 3 phase motor. make it rotate by hand and connect single phase power. after the motor is up to speed you have the 3 phase power available from the motor windings. ______
