"Before knocking this, do some research. His theories are all based on scientific fact, and sound research. Probably one of the greatest geniuses in the field of electrical engineering" Which is why it is particularly offensive to see Tesla misused in this way.

BTW, did you see the bios of the people supposedly behind this?

KATHY OLSEN is an unusually brilliant and attractive, yet somewhat tom-boyish coed working on her Master’s degree in electrical engineering, with a computer science minor.

JULIE LOZANO is Kathy’s roommate and best friend. Her major in history and minor in computers make her a self-described “double geek.”

ANGELA BISCOTTI, the Dean of Electrical Engineering at the university Kathy and Julie attend, is beautiful, but very cold and uptight.

OTOH, maybe it's not a ripoff but a parody.

I have several years ago. Believe its a liberal conspiracy theory to think he invented "free" energy.

Its amazing how easily people and their money are soon parted.....thanks to Global Warming, Species Extinction, Frankenfood, Virus-Prolifering Moonbats.

Tesla did some cool high-voltage experiments. Free Energy? Perhaps if you can trap and store lightning.

Indeed. And he would have amassed wealth to rival the oil magnates if he had not let Westinghouse off the hook. Tesla was offered $2.00 for every electric motor sold. Westinghouse was in a financial pinch and Nicolas told him he could skip it.

His papers were confiscated following his death by "immigartion officials,"

A contributor of some note but also a bit of a charlatan. You have to be skeptical when it comes to Tesla who made a lot of claims and refused to demonstrate them.

Not only electrical engineering.......his Tesla turbine showed great potential, is amazingly simple and efficient. It impressed everyone except Westinghouse who felt it was vastly inferior to their big heavy and in-efficient turbine (the ones still in generation plants today.)
