Re: [TCML] Wardenclyffe property up for sale

I forwarded this link to the New York Times story to my brother who lives in Colorado Springs and he replied with this article from the Colorado Springs Independent Newspaper. I think the article originally ran Aug. 10th. 2000.

Sad story about the largest Tesla magnifying transmitter in history.
In his authorized biography "My Inventions" Tesla mentioned the transmitter could be operated up to 100 MV.I'm afraid voltage like that wouldn't be feasible.Numerous measurements and experiments show the normal atmosphere breakdown field is aprox. 900 kV/ft.Applying this to a perfect 69 feet diameter sphere gives about 31 MV of breakdown potential.Clearly,Tesla overestimated the figure.More importantly he underestimated some other things (like dissipation),and money issues (J.P.Morgan).If nothing else,I hope good people will manage to save his old lab building.
