The Amazing Life of Nikola Tesla (Documentary) 

Cool. Now can you do a video about the historian's vintage boomboxes?

Olá integza, adoro os teus videos e sei que também és português, às vezes quem me dera vê los na nossa lingua por isso fica aí a sugestão, adiciona uma faixa de audio em português nos teus futuros videos, talvez até consigas atingir mais população brazileira e portuguesa dessa forma. Continua o bom trabalho!

Yep, same. I always have loved what Nikola Tesla did. I really admire his efforts

Its so much quality information here! I want to give you a gift man that have all in common with this video, its a coil gun project ( yes, another one ) but different from anything I've found on the internet, because it is super simple and yet super efficient due to this build. How can I show it to you? Thanks!

12:20 doubt this is what you meant by pointing out mistakes, but you say 1986 when you meant 1896. Awesome little documentary though. I’ve seen a lot of stuff about Tesla and still learned new things.

Wholesome comment edit: and agreed

No one prob cares but my first actual circuit I've made was a crappy tesla coil Also love your content @PlasmaChannel

@@Earth-To-Zan That's one hell of a first circuit

You know he's stealing your motor from earlier 🤣🤣🤣

As a student attending the University RU-vid, you two are the best professors x Me and our head design engineer spent 2 hours today at our company Xmas do discussing the advances you have made in this field in terms of getting heads thinking. You got at least two blokes in New Zealand making dumb plans 😂, keep up the amazing work fellas, and love you both

I think some of those tragedies were certainly orchestrated by his rivals. Men of lesser intellect and much greed. Whereas Tesla had boundless ingenuity and no greed to speak of.

@@George.___ yeah, and it makes me sick to think it's the same kind of people still having their grip over most of the world..

Greedy people ook him away from humanity :(

I have been to Niagara Falls but those generators weren't open to visit. I was sad, because I knew it was made by Nikola Tesla.

I have 20 serbian dinar coin that have Tesla on them, they are very rare. Normal 20 dinars have Sava Church

@@Dark_Matter2 oh, I need the coins.

Are these still available publicly anywhere? (articles, lectures, and patents)

I have 200 note of indian currency as i live in india 😂

@@TheZolon guy is selling 20 dinars for 80 dinars lmao (less than a dollar)

Interesting! Old notes

I’d watch that

Great idea!

he made and kept no notes, he boasted that he didn't need them. So we lost it all when he died.

There's a guy who has built a fully functioning tesla turbine engine on youtube. I forget his name but if you search tesla turbine you'll see him eventually. It's a legit build

I'm still waiting to win a printer 🤣

Perhaps he should have clarified that it was the only rocket fighter to enter service. The X series planes were purely research planes after all.

what about the MXY-7 Ohka

@@among_us_is_an_imposter5784 the ohka was a human guided cruise missle

Plus the Ki-200 and the BI

@@GingerTabby7 but it is still a rocket powered airplane operated by a human

That would be awesome

Omg dude, solid state rocket vacuum😂

I would like to see that

@gregw1076 also note that the American military ignored and rejected Hedy Lamarr's secure radio design ...just as they refused to fund Tesla's "secure radio" system, when he presented it to them around ?1902?

ElectroBoom did a video on this and as I recall frequency also plays a huge role. I think it changes how the current flows through different mediums and thus can cause an otherwise lethal current to flow harmlessly over the skin (there are aspects I don't fully understand yet).

@@grn1 yeah, the skin effect does cause current flow to be pushed to the outer area of the conductor at high frequencies, but this effect is also dependent on the conductivity of the medium. Since humans have a poor conductivity, the skin effect does not play a large role in Tesla coil lethality. It does act very strongly on copper though, and you can notice the effect in the primary coil within Tesla coils, as it overheats easily due to less area being used. This is also why people use special wire, called litz wire, made up of many smaller insulated wires to help carry the current. The video by Styropyro goes more in depth on all this if you’re wanting to learn more.

@@Electronic4081Pretty sure I've seen that video but it's been a while so I've forgotten a lot of the details.

Paul pantone did that. He built a suitcase sized air powered plasma Z pinch fuel reformer that not only powered ICE motors, also produced clean air and water from literally any vapor. Plus replicated every electrical feature of the planet (with enough moisture in the air, miniature tornadoes.)

Brilliant idea

Thank you@@kenny0178

Ապրես շատ լաւ գւաղափար է:👍👍

Michael Mendson is the best

Me gusta to comentario y tu idea! 😊

A cooling system is a good idea, but wouldn't it negatively impact aerodynamics by making the build bulkier?

​@@genericbeansmile756 Might, good point, but depends on design. For instance you can use additional tube to create a gap for fluid to flow through, and it would be sacrifice of only several mm. Another idea is to redirect some air after compression for cooling (but lower power). On the other hand Joel most of the time tests his designs in static operation. Well, after all even if it increased drag it would make the engine more durable and usable.

The hydrogren propulsion tech would be interesting; especially with solid-state hydrogen tech slowly coming through (i.e. dramatically reduces the risk of it blowing up) Iirc because the interconversion back is temperature dependent you can somewhat control the rates of release too

*Emeril voice* Now you're cooking with science!

But what is cooking besides edible science?

also true@@208Concepts

he's done a couple.

That idea sounds badass

It's a big-arse Tesla Coil. The back-end theory has a big fault, though, and it was never going to work as he thought it would.

​​​@@thekaxmaxI've read that paper, he talks about pumping all that energy in the field without it spiking like a tesla coil, it's the opposite of a tesla coil. But as any electrical engineer knows: You can't just transmit energy over air without a confined media, the power decreases by the square of the distance. To transmit power over wireless, you have to quadruple the current every meter away, which is probably why we don't use it. If my napkin calculations are right and they aren't. That's enough to transmit information, but very little energy. Unless you can create a monopole magnetic field. Then it will perfectly stretch forever without losses like a superconductor because the entire universe is the other pole. Maybe if I understood the paper correctly, the entire idea was using the antenna/tower as a monopole and the entire magnetic field of the planet as a wire. Then any other antenna/tower in the entire planet would be able to catch it. A massive current would pass in the underground soil, around the planet. Like in an iron core of a transformer. (I wounder about the losses but I didn't dare to calculate it and be disappointed ) It's too bad the mathematics of that requires a magnetic monopole to work (without pumping huge amounts of currents to get a tenth of a percent on the other side) Antennas close a path, they form a dipole. To try to use the entire earth as a monopole antenna ? Maybe he went a bit too far. His idea is more insane than that of the electric universe. Or maybe his was the basis for that insanity. A monopole magnet , what a fun imagination.

@@monad_tcp he thought EMF could resonate the same way sound does, to allow standing waves. We all know it don't go like that.

@@thekaxmax oh, yes, I forgot about that. The entire idea required that there was a standing wave in the fields. Not the mere ressonation of the circuits like it can happen in radio. Another insane requirement .

I just thought I’d mention that pressurizing or storing bulk HHO is never a good idea. It’s a mixture of a fuel and oxidizer that happen to be way more sensitive than normal propellants or H.E. It’s best to never have more than the amount you actually plan on setting off, and never have an amount of HHO exist somewhere where it igniting would be a problem.

My vague understanding of the wireless energy is that the earth itself would become an oscillating capacitor, then yeah the ionosphere would be the "coil" of the "circuit" Now days we use the earth as "ground", meaning if we turn it into a capacitor, most of our electrical devices will burn out if someone tries this same idea now... is more the conspiracy side of it probably

@@gregw1076 my gut feeling, before crunching any numbers, is that the ionosphere and earth’s surface would both be very lossy. Failing that, every tree, person, damp terrain feature etc is also an antenna or at very least act as a capacitor/resistor combination being put across the waveguide/resonator. Resonance can allow you to have very high electric fields, currents, and magnetic fields with very low continuous power input . But that only works as long as every component in the system is able to pass those high voltages, currents, fields, frequencies etc without dissipating very much real power. The more resistance you have in series or parallel, or the more electrical loads, opportunities for “far field” electromagnetic radiation to escape the system etc, the more power has to be fed into the resonance.

@@deltab9768 Well, you aren't wrong, but we're talking about a cannon, and an explosive proppelant. Both of which aren't safe and both should be done only by people with some self-consciousness in their minds. Also not many people know that HHO can explode on it's own just from being pressurised too much, or IIRC even from being depressurised (or was that with just hydrogen, but still a simple jet can cause ignition). If Integza would make it a scaled model, it could be a small charge comparable to a tiny firecracker with maybe a BB as the projectile. Loaded separately, in style of soviet tanks. Then, even in an event of unplanned fireworks going off nothing should have harmful shrapnel. As long as you wear protective gear like glasses. :)

@@gregw1076 How would the earth act as a capacitor?

We would probably be exactly where we are. All the stuff tesla came up with that worked, other people ran with and developed into useful things... but he also had a lot of ideas that don't work, and people tend to fantasize about the second category being the first and thus we would have all sorts of magical tech today. There is also the problem of history and our limited focus. We tend to like the idea of learning about a handful of easy to remember 'great men' for any particular era and forget that they were actually not all that unique and for every person history likes talking about there were countless others just as smart and doing good work but who's stories do not make for engaging narratives.

the idea was effectively to harness the power of lightning. as you have probably noticed tesla coils produce what looks like lightning, just on a much smaller scale. his giant tesla tower was effectively designed to electrify the upper atmosphere, which would then be drawn down towards the earth. if captured using a mechanism similar to a lightning rod, one could transmit power, using the atmosphere as a wire. the problem with this though is that most electricity would be wasted. tesla was supposedly able to light up entire fields of lightbulbs using this passive power, but that also means the electricity was dispersed evenly across the entire field, whether something was there to use it or not. if someone could figure out how to instead send direct bolts of electricity to their intended destinations, then it would actually be usable. it would cost a good few million dollars to design, yet nobody wants to sink the money into it because it isnt profitable (cant really measure who uses power or how much, so cant bill for it). if he had succeeded then we would simply have wireless power technology, which would solve a good few battery issues as you wouldnt need to haul all your needed energy with you. though thanks to the profit issue it would not be for commercial use.

@aidenaune7008 Thanks for all the details! I love the ambitious scope of the project. Many scientists originally have a very "utopian" outlook for their discoveries, but are sadly often hampered by commercial structures... I guess that is one of the main differences between science fiction and "science faction", that in order to realise technology, there must be some economical benefits to justify any investments, not just a cool or utopian vision.

@@Particelomen to be fair, economical translates directly to useful. peopleonly buy what is useful, even if that use is something wasteful like feeding a sweet tooth. sure the towers would be useful to the average person on paper, but it would actually jut destroy the electricity market and thus there would be no power for the average person. being able to tell who uses what and charge them for it turns out to be very useful.
