Uh-uh? Sure. Did stimulus funds pay for this?

Tesla had an idea for this and even designed a machine for it. He imagined 1000s of these machines all across the world forming a free energy grid.

Messing with lightening again, how did that wind up for Dr. Frankenstein?

Yes and supposedly JP Morgan killed the project because he was mad that he wouldn’t be able to meter and charge for it.

Wow, missed that paper (I was there Tuesday).
Or perhaps they stick all the kooks at the end of the conference.

Well, perhaps others would like to live in a high energy electrical field all the time, but I’m not likely to buy a home under electrical transmission lines any time soon. In effect, this is something akin to what they are suggesting is a great idea.

As other posters have mentioned, this is nothing new. Tessla came up with this idea a long time ago. It’s gone nowhere for several reasons, but the high energy field is one that’s good enough for me.

No thanks.

First, get a kite. Then a wire, a metal key and a bottle to trap the electricity in.

And it's free!

Tesla was a genious and my kind of scientist. He wasn’t afraid to try crazy and far feteched ideas or explore different theories. Today if you even claim to entertain a view outside of the mainstream you are labeled a crackpot.

If the story is true, good chance he got knocked on his A$$.

We need that poster of the guy who looks like Desi Arnaz saying:

"...Gee not this *hit again..."

Can someone post this?

Prediction: The gummint will spend billions and billions of dollars developing and building this grid. A few years later, they will discover that the electrical energy was there for a reason. They will have effed up the weather patterns and ruined agriculture over a wide area.

They will then tear it down and sell the pieces to China for a penny on the dollar.

Did you hear that the military is not happy with windmills? They block navigational radar and weather radar. Never saw that coming, eh?

Unintended consequences.

An engine that runs on static electricity? Who is John Galt?
