This is a late post in honor of the Lord of Tech, Nikola Tesla, who's birthday was only a few weeks ago.
That's him at left behind a very reserved-seeming Samuel Clemens. (More on this gentleman another time.)
I know the usual thing to do in this situation is to make fun of the silly tech pawned of as his "secret discoveries", but I want to make something clear...
Without him we might not have:
And he invented the radio. (Sorry, Marconi.)
So when people go on about his manias, "death rays", ioncraft, or his beliefs in eugenics; it just serves to dilute all the wonders this man brought to us.
But, even I have to wonder what people were thinking about when portable tesla coils were used in the creation of Voilet Rays. More here.
Now aside from this old set I found on Ebay, I bet you're thinking no one still looks to buy these things for anything other than a curiousity, right?
Wrong. (Why do I do this to myself? I know where this is going...)
Of course Cacye had to be involved in this: http://www.cayce.com/vray.htm
Sigh...
It could be worse, they could be selling useless orgone gener...
THAT IS IT! I'm building a rocket to Mars! See you all later!
Goodbye and goodnight,
MiddleMan
