anyone have a what was, is it?

These provide a pulsed peak power of some 200 milliwatts at 77 Fahrenheit (25 Celsius) and about 100 milliwatts at 127 Fahrenheit (50 Celsius).

colour photography, but didn't SUTTON? share in this achievement.

Correct about Maxwell. I don't know if anyone else was involved.

But what LASER? She must have something special in mind.

The stadium at Olympia?

hmmmmmmmm didn't think about that, and to be honest i don't have
a clue so EVOs question is unanswered.

 

[wolram]

The stadium at Olympia?
no, you will have to work religiously hard to find this one,

The new devices, called quantum cascade (QC) lasers, are examples of a fundamentally new type of laser invented here only two years ago. The new versions are about 25 times more powerful than their predecessors.

what was it?

Within the ancient city of Babylon, "the sacred precinct of Jupiter Belus, a square enclosure two furlongs each way, with gates of solid brass".

Wolram, you are phenomenal!

correct *** *** and i thought that was difficult

 

[wolram]

Wolram, you are phenomenal!

is that some new kind of green fuel

 

[wolram]

which made it possible for the system to produce vacuums exceeding one millionth of an atmosphere.
what was it?

 

[zoobyshoe]

The Geissler mercury vacuum pump with improvements by Crookes.

 

[wolram]

The Geissler mercury vacuum pump with improvements by Crookes.
OK you are zooby correct

 

[Ivan Seeking]

A little more that 180 feet high, this was destroyed to prevent its suspected use by the Germans.

 

[Tsu]

Russia's Zaporozhe Dam?

A machine that generates amusing jokes?

 

[Tsu]

Russia's Zaporozhe Dam?

Ivan just came up from the office. He says 'wrong answer'.
Rats.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

It was first constructed at the expense of J. P. Morgan.

 

[Evo]

Ok, you made me snort Fresca up my nose.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Ok, you made me snort Fresca up my nose.

They still make Fresca?

I thought that disappeared with Angel Flight pants and mood rings.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Oh. I bet it was Tesla's magnifying transmitter in N.J. They may have thought German u-boats were using it as a landmark.

 

[Evo]

I thought that disappeared with Angel Flight pants and mood rings.

Yeah, I thought it had disappeared with Tab (remember Tab? ), but it's still around and I've finally taking a liking to it, well at least when mixed with vodka.

 

[wolram]

He was not told to remove the tower. Tesla removed it at his own loss. Because it was thought it would be used against the U.S. by the Germans. (WWI).

 

[Ivan Seeking]

As with so many stories about Tesla, the reported facts about this story seem to vary a bit.

SUSPECTING that German spies were using the big wireless tower erected at Shoreham, L. I., about twenty years ago by Nikola Tesla, the Federal Government ordered the tower destroyed and it was recently demolished with dynamite. During the past month several strangers had been seen lurking about the place.

Tesla erected the tower, which was about 185 feet high, with a well about 100 feet deep, for use in experimenting with the transmission of electrical energy for power and lighting purposes by wireless. The equipment cost nearly $200,000.

The late J. P. Morgan backed Nikola Tesla with the money to build this remarkable steel tower, that he might experiment in wireless even before people knew of Marconi. A complete description, revised by Dr. Tesla himself, of this unique and ultra-powerful radio plant was given in the March, 1916, issue of THE ELECTRICAL EXPERIMENTER. Everyone interested in the study of high frequency currents should not fail to study that discourse as it contains the theory of how this master electrician proposed to charge this lofty antenna with thousands of kilowatts of high frequency electrical energy, then to radiate it thru the Earth and run ships, factories and street cars with "wireless power."

Hey! Remember that mood ring you got for me? When I was in a good mood it was green and when I was in a bad mood it left a BIG freakin' red mark on your forehead?

 

[Ivan Seeking]

OMG I had forgotten. All this time I thought that mark was my third eye.
