January 8, 1992 I&V.ASC -------------------------------------------------------------------- This file shared with KeelyNet courtesy of : The TESLA BBS...300,1200,2400...(8,N,1) (719) 486-2775 Data (303) 824-6834 Voice (303) 443-8478 Voice TESLA, Inc. 820 Bridger Circle Craig, CO 81625 -------------------------------------------------------------------- The following is a tongue-in-cheek letter posted to the Tesla BBS in regard to turbines and how they would affect society. -------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm a bit surprised that the only info in this BBS (TESLA BBS) of TESLA's disk turbine that I've found was the TURBINE.ZIP intro blip. Yea, only a bit surprised while considering the vast volumes on turbines in university and public libraries in my area with any mention of Tesla totally and efficiently raked out. I can't believe that just the enemies of innovation in 1910-- inertia and vested interest, excuses the ignorance of this technology having EVER existed. No, such inertia has to be maintained and is taking work to mow over grass root garage setups that occasionally dare to replace a V-8 with say a "derby hat" turbine. How un-American this, dirt, that would threaten the secureness of our industrial complex by stealing its jobs. It's bad enough that we didn't successfully squeeze out Tesla's push for AC. Thanks to this cult hero we've lost countless jobs of making up for energy saved being on a national DC grid. Heck, we'd have power plants in every county. We'd have more cars on more roads to maintain more power plants and we'd all work for power, oil, and auto companies. We'd hire the homeless, hire Canadians and Mexicans stuck with AC and we'd be like Kuwaities! -- only working for a living like Americans, with job security and a robust energy burning economy. Burn baby burn! Now that would be growth. At least we've been left the same basic engine design for the past century. As we cave in and inch out just a teeny bit more bang per same old fuel to satisfy this environmental cult every year we can make it evermore complicated and capital intensive. That way, though the Japanese are better at making things complicated, we can Page 1 evermore entrench our job security with patriotism and a little tariff. Jobs run the economy which run the dollar whence all values flow from. So the ends of keeping national security through jobs justify any means because nothing is more valuable than the ends which are the essence of value itself. Our job security is just a microcosm of American national security as a whole. "National security" was also a favorite sound byte of cold war Russia. They're their own worst enemy. It allows Stalinists' to say things like, "3/4 of the population are enemies of the state", and then secretly kill off more people than Hitler did without getting the heat. But in America, only occasionally do ends have to justify the means. The deed is to create need. The rest of the time we merely maintain this need. If there is none then we'll make you some that we need. Need is our business. Business IS filling need. But a filled need is no business. It was a sale of it's own elimination-- can't have that. To let the simple technology of this bladeless turbine become common would vastly retool us down to a new level playing field approachable by small business. Our waste-energy=make-business infrastructure would crumble. The turbine design is too simple. They last too long and worse yet are too efficient. Our partnership with George Bush's oil conglomerates in Texas would go down crick and they'd get on us. The bottom line is that we'd have massive job loss. And we'd have to hire them into a military state to keep unrest in check and defend... uh, our way of life -- like the KGB's been doing over there for theirs. This going the way of freer energy is in the direction of communist ideals. The unemployed, the homeless; that's how communistic we are already. How's it go? "The masses would give according to ability and take according to need"? Now where have I heard that before? Was it comie-gook Marx?! How could they give anything if they didn't earn money by selling energy to waste and how could they take only what they need if we're living proof that we excessively grab things to waste? No--it was Tesla! It went; Designs so simple that others might seize the idea, patent it, and control a blessing "which he intends shall be a free gift to the world."* Profitless freedom?! --pie-in-the-sky, you can't trust anybody but us. If anyone should seize these designs it's us since we've got government finance to pay the highest buy-out and we've got OUR engines and can crowd out knowledge of it with our technology and sustain the most employment since we buddy with oil companies that need our cars to milk out all the resources they can find while they can. The thing is, actually I don't even have a garage. And I'm far from any horse power designs. I build my turbines in my apartment out of plexiglass. The duds make OK sci-fi-art sculptures. I'm sort of stuck being an empiricist and have to hack on prototypes and Page 2 experiment. But I'd like to see some detailed mathematical guidance for my plastic as well as explain better what I've made.
