not related to Tesla but check out this weird flying platform that the Army has (according to the narrator).   I think the narrator said it could go up to 10,000 feet

Looks like someone in Mexico got their hands on one of these things and decided to scare the shit of the locals.   Seems like this would be an easy way to get over that fence we're supposed to be building on the border

Tesla is arguably the greatest modern scientific mind ever. There is some great stuff online about his inventions. Thomas Edison wanted to use DC instead of AC to electrify America.

Yeah, it's the only reason I stuck around watching The Prestige, pretty cool how they showed the rivalry between him and Edison. Tesla would have been the world's first billionare. Amazing how it's been so long and we have yet to see the "leaps and bounds" in technology? Everyone just keeps re-inventing the wheel
