1. Nikola Tesla was a genius whose talents didn't include taking good research notes. As a consequence he has become the darling of charlatans like Tom Beardon.It is unfortunate that so much of Tesla's work is lost.
2. I have read Tom Beardons publication on Fer De lance. My conclusion is that he is a nut with a dangerous understanding of basic electromagnetics.

I was at a briefing by Tom Bearden many years ago and we all agreed that he was (is) a very bright but mislead individual.
James Randi once said that scientists are easily fooled because they do not live in a culture of deceit; the foundation of science is truth.

the Red Chinese have been doing "cloud seeding" for nearly 50 years. thus far, they have had no mesurable effect. sometimes it rains, other times it doesn't.

DoD News Briefing
Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen
Monday, April 28, 1997 - 8:45 a.m. EDT
There are some reports, for example, that some countries have been trying to construct something like an Ebola Virus, and that would be a very dangerous phenomenon, to say the least. Alvin Toeffler has written about this in terms of some scientists in their laboratories trying to devise certain types of pathogens that would be ethnic specific so that they could just eliminate certain ethnic groups and races; and others are designing some sort of engineering, some sort of insects that can destroy specific crops. Others are engaging even in an eco- type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves.
So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations. It's real, and that's the reason why we have to intensify our efforts, and that's why this is so important.
sometimes?I think a pinch of salt is required sometimes.

Magnets are also being used on new thrill rides as a launch system. Using a linear induction motor, Cedar Point’s new Wicked Twister will propel riders through the coaster’s station at a maximum speed of 116 km/h in 2.5 seconds (Figure 5). The launch system, which is growing more popular in thrill rides and roller coasters, replaces the traditional lift chain that pulls roller coaster cars up a hill and releases them, allowing gravity to provide the energy necessary for the coaster to complete the track circuit. The Wicked Twister, which opens this month, will send its passengers up a 66 meter tall twisting steel tower.
The ride is propelled as a copper alloy fin passes through coils on the track. “When we get ready to fire, we press a button and an electronic current energizes the coils, projects a magnetic field between them, and the copper alloy fin is in between,” Jasper said. The fin is pushed forward to the next set of coils, and so on, picking up momentum along the way. The system, which also involves magnetic brakes, is energy intensive, Jasper said.
“Let me put it this way: We’re using such a massive jolt of electricity to operate Wicked Twister that it would be enough to power 550 average sized houses,” he said. Other launch systems are achieving similar results, such as linear synchronous motors or compressed air systems, reportedly taking passengers from 0 to 129 km/h in 1.5 seconds.
Without a doubt, materials-driven technologies such as magnetic brakes and high-powered launch systems have taken the roller coaster competition to new heights. Pribonic, who has worked in this business for more than 20 years, believes materials are going to have to improve to keep up with the increasing demands of high-intensity rides. “Materials, by and large, haven’t changed,” he said. Although rides are towering higher and moving faster than ever, old, familiar, and somewhat mild steel, grade A-36 or higher, remains the preferred material for roller coaster structures. Better options would be high-strength steel alloys, titanium, or even advanced fibers, to fill the need for high-strength materials for roller coaster structures.
“They’ve been meeting those challenges with mass rather than material changes. . . . if they want to go any higher and faster, it’s going to have to force a change in engineering approaches,” Pribonic said.
If a Los Angeles-area scientist has his way, car chases may become as antiquated as horse-mounted cavalry.
James Tatoian, chief executive of Eureka Aerospace in Pasadena, California, is developing a system that uses microwave energy to interfere with microchips inside cars. Once the chip is overloaded with excessive current, the car ceases to function, and will gradually decelerate on its own, he said. ...

"Everybody on the globe is interested in a technology like this," he said. "Every law enforcement agency and every military agency in the world will jump on this. I can say that with absolute confidence."
In current situations where police need to disable a car they are pursuing, sometimes the officers must resort to spike strips, which are designed to puncture the vehicle's tires. Heal said that with an electromagnetic interference system, a potentially dangerous outcome (such as loss of control from flat tires) could be avoided.
Just shake the light for about 30 seconds and the EverLife Flashlight will provide about 5 minutes of light. During prolonged use it can be shaken for 10-15 seconds every 2 or 3 minutes giving you an unlimited supply of light.
Quahom1 said:There is a lot of sand to sift in Iraq. It took weeks to find French Entendarde Fighter jets buried in the sand, and they did that in a day or two. Saddam was himself in a hole 9 feet deep, and it took months to find him, and that was by shear luck and a quick eye.
Iraq had years to hide what they denied having. And we do know where half of the stuff went.
I wouldn't be too quick about dispelling what seemed like solid intelligence, only to turn out to be puff smoke...It doesn't work that way in reality. In other words, the media does not know all, and neither do we. Remember Germany?

The Magnetic Cannon uses a coil wound with equal length and equal width. The coil is wound on the flyway tube that now pivots on a trundle assembly to adjust elevation and give the looks of a cannon. The projectile is made with geometry to allow maximum inductive coupling and takes the shape of a heavy ring weighing 1-3 ounces. Initial velocity is over 400 fps, and we have gotten ranges of over 1000 feet, even with less than optimal aero dynamics.
