I think Tesla is overrated, and the tower has to do with wireless electricity Isaac Send a noteboard - 15/05/2012 11:43:41 PM
I loved this. But does anyone know what the magic electric tower is all about?


There's a modern version that works on a different principle, check out WiTricity... interesting concept, but I doubt it will find a decent market niche until/if electricity is effectively much cheaper to generate.
