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
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|

experiment. But I'd like to see some detailed mathematical guidance
|
|
for my plastic as well as explain better what I've made.
