Using a laser (ionization of air molecules?) to guide the tesla coil discharge is ingenious. Very neat.

- JoeAltmaier 14y agoAnd anecdotally Tesla had devised a laser as well, so it remains contemporary!
- jholman 14y agoI do not think that means what you think it means. Although maybe. Perhaps you meant "allegedly" or "apocryphally"?
- JoeAltmaier 14y agoContemporaneous anecdotes from visitors to his lab reported a beautiful pure red spot of light, redder than any possible in nature, coming from a machine. Since it happened in the past, does that make it alleged? I don't think apocryphal works - its not an urban legend, its from documented letters etc.
