Tesla - A Genius



Here is a documentary on the life of Nikola Tesla




Some Electromechanical devices and principles developed by Tesla:

* various devices that use rotating magnetic fields (1882)
* induction motor and high frequency alternator
* means for increasing the intensity of electrical oscillations
* alternating current long-distance electrical transmission system (1888)
* Tesla coil
* bladeless turbine
* bifilar coil
* Telegeodynamics
* systems for wireless communication (prior art for the invention of radio) and radio frequency oscillators
* robotics and the "AND" logic gate
* X-rays Tubes using the bremsstrahlung process
* devices for ionized gases
* devices for high field emission
* devices for charged particle beams
* methods for providing extremely low level of resistance to the passage of electrical current
* voltage multiplication circuitry
* devices for high voltage discharges
* devices for lightning protection
* Magnifying Transmitter
* VTOL aircraft
* Dynamic theory of gravity
* concepts for electric vehicles

What Hollywood Believes - Halle Berry


Halle Berry is quoted as saying:

"I know that there is a God - the God within me that's always present and will protect me. I'm not afraid to climb a mountain, because I know that I'm protected. Even if I fall and die, I'm still protected. My faith is on that level.

I meditate and pray all the time. The faith and respect that I have in the power of God in my life is what I've used to keep myself grounded, and it has allowed me to move past the storms that were in my life. I'm still a work in progress, but I know as long as I stay close to God I'll be alright."


This was encouraging because at least Halle Berry recognizes a power higher than herself. Is her faith in the God of the Bible or in faith itself? I'm not sure. She does realize however God has brought her through a lot. I'm just glad God is working on her just like He is working on all of us.
