I do. I really really do.
Tesla cured Mark Twain of constipation by electrocuting him
i would love to have friends like that!
Considering Tesla coils have killed several people, this would not be my first thing on my “whaddya wanna do today” list.
My husband has an MSEE,he builds the damn things for fun. I never knew how loud they would be!
Nikola Tesla: greatest electrical engineer who ever lived. Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain): greatest of American authors. This picture is oozing with awesomeness.
But I don’t expect young people to understand how or why.
I love how Tesla looks like he’s keeping his distance, just in case Mark Twain explodes or something.
Yep. Makes you think that the “greatest electrical engineer who ever lived” knows something that the “greatest of American authors” doesn’t . . .
you got to wonder though, if twain had that HAIR, prior to meeting Tesla, OR, if Tesla, besides being the most under rated scientist in the United States, was also ripped off for not getting credit for inventing the PERM!
“But I don’t expect young people to understand how or why.”
I’m fourteen years old, I read Tom Sawyer when I was nine and Huckleberry Finn last summer. Mark Twain is one of my heroes. Last year, when researching Tesla for a school project, I became mildly obsessed with him, and then I found this picture. My friends are wonderful but yes, I do wish they were that cool.
Yeah, I’d put Tesla near the top of my list of historical people I would have liked to have as friends!
Second this
He’s in my top 5.
Tesla was a mad genius.
He kind of looks like Nosferatu.
I’ve done this and it’s lots of fun! You just hold the bulb and it starts to glow.
Tesla coils are not dangerous if you know how to properly insulate yourself from ground.
Actually, Tesla cured Mark Twain’s constipation with a resonating device. MT was standing on a vibrating platform enjoying himself, and Tesla casually remarked that MT might want to get off it fairly soon. He ignored Tesla and remained on the platform because he was still having fun, right up to the point where his face suddenly turned pale. “Where is it ?” he asked Tesla urgently. Tesla said nothing and calmly pointed in the direction of the toilet.
See kiddies, the “Brown Note” does too exist! Mythbusters specifically avoided testing the magic frequency of 8 Hz. Check out the episode if you don’t believe me.
