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.
