Enamon 2004-09-22 06:58:02 ET I just came in my pants. http://ep.espacenet.com has PDFs of patents from a shitload of countries. They have a search database consisting of the patent abstract and applicants going back to the beginning of the last (20th) century. That's further back than the USPTO patent server ( http://www.uspto.gov/patft ) goes with its search database. I've been looking at various Tesla patents written in Serbian I think. A good lot of them are for mechanical things as he was not only an electrical engineer but also a great mechanical engineer.

Mauzer 2004-09-22 09:05:55 ET Now if I coud just read serbian...

antony green 2004-09-22 09:30:41 ET looks like you're prepared for American's 12948y897930249876th terrorist attack.

Enamon 2004-09-22 09:35:53 ET Eh?

Mauzer 2004-09-22 09:42:51 ET Terrorist? Hahahaha. It would just be cool, to have at shows really. Great stage prop. I wonder what the power consumption is like for a mini-tesla coil. I'm sure there are plans and supplies available online.

Mauzer 2004-09-22 10:40:24 ET Hahahahahaha. Too bad that never happened to the band Tesla.
