I miss those old magazines, what a medium for transmitting ideas. I love Tesla but he really had some cra-cra ideas, particularly about Earth and oceans as conductors.

  Interesting you say that about his ideas on earth science... because that's what I find most intriguing. I admit I don't completely understand him yet but I plan to further research it. In addition, there seem to be striking similarities with his Wardenclyffe Tower and the Great Pyramids of Giza (i.e. aquaphors) which all the more is curious for me.

I read that last one, on "Telautomatics". He mentions his attempt to interest auto manufacturers in a self-driving car. But he also describes some kind of odd flying machine that doesn't use wings or propellers etc, relying purely on "reactions". What could he have been talking about? Inertial propulsion? Some kind of reaction against electromagnetic fields? There is a great illustration of this thing. Weird. (Incidentally, you could draw a straight line from all those magazine ads to today's YouTube versions)
