Del,

Tesla was a true genius with all the idiosyncrincies.. At one time
in his life , he claimed he could "feel" a fly landing on table if he was in contact with the table like having his elbows on it.

Also, I think he used to get together with Mark Twain and fool around with a low amp, high voltage chair for cheap thrills... Maybe thats why old Mark's hair was pure white and standing on end..

It is too bad he never got the recognition, he deserved.I think he also messed around a lot with wireless transmission of electricity .. Could shoot it for a short distance, I believe, maybe a couple hundred feet.

Coug
