Forum:Tesla?

Ok, so the book 'Nikola tesla and you' raises your energy weapons skill. firstly, who is Nikola Tesla? And secondly, does Nikola have anything to do with the Tesla power armour that the enclave uses?

Yes,It has everything to do with. Nikola Tesla was a great inventor whose ideas in electricity and magnetism changed the world. a small list of his contributions: MisterPuck 11:38, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Terrestrial stationary waves
 * Tesla coil
 * Tesla turbine
 * Teleforce
 * Tesla's oscillator
 * electric car
 * Tesla principle
 * Tesla's Egg of Columbus
 * Alternating current
 * Induction motor
 * Rotating magnetic field
 * Wireless technology
 * Particle beam weapon
 * Bifilar coil
 * Telegeodynamics
 * Electrogravitics

Please read the Wikipedia entry about Nikola Tesla - he was a real-world inventor. The Tesla Armor was constructed posthumously based on his plans. Ausir 12:51, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Every old geek's like ''ohh look Tesla's a forgotten scientist who made all these great contributions to the world etc... and he doesn't get any credit anymore''

That's just crap isn't it because there's a car named after him and he's an important character in Fallout!


 * I honestly would say that the car is not why he's here in the game. He's in the game because of his scientific contributions to the field of electricity. If you had an education that reached beyond 7th grade, you would understand that he was a pioneer in free energy and in various other things. Old geek. Whatever! Next time before you make random comments, read a book on the subject before you open your mouth. Kingclyde 17:17, 21 April 2009 (UTC)kingclyde
 * Yup. Agreed. And while you are at it, give the man the respect he deserves... He practically invented the 20th century! AngryNorwegianDude 18:54, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

There is also a crap band named after him - lets not forget that.... A good book to read is "The Secrets of Cold War Technology" - blew my mind... talks a lot of Tesla, Marconi, etc...Pgoon 17:01, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I have to agree with you on the band. That latest cover song album was bad. Really bad. Kingclyde 17:44, 21 April 2009 (UTC)kingclyde

OMD have a song called Tesla Girls. Cheesey 80s pop. Nothing to do with the great innovator. I know there's a few other obscure references in the game but the inclusion of Nikola Tesla is pretty cool.Binary-Fishing 05:20, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
