?? There must have been some trick? H2 + O2 give a blue flame that
produces almost no visible light. If there were some salt mixed in,
the sodium line in the yellow would have made it nice and bright, or
if there was a mantle or something a la Coleman lanterns, that would
have worked.


"Evolution of Electric Wind Generators"
"Poul La Cour started experimenting with wind power in 1891 and, until his death in 1908, he supervised tests on wind generators for power production. His tests on windmills at Askov, Denmark, indicated a number of important principals of aerodynamics that have been applied to successive generations of wind power plants. Because of his scientific experiments, local folklore depicted him as one who was able to "turn rain and wind into light and power""

By 1904 in Gothenburgh one could purchase a two, four or six kilowatt wind plant, designed for 15mph wind + ($322 $616 & $885 ?)

Also... isn't zirconium the other side of a lead battery?

My understanding is that he was trying to get an IC engine that could run off the oxyhydrogen he was getting from electrolysis but used lead batteries to store as a kind of stop-gap.

Also

When turned on, it emits an invisible, focused beam of radiation - similar to the microwaves in a domestic cooker - that are tuned to a precise frequency to stimulate human nerve endings.
It can throw a wave of agony nearly half a mile.
The high-frequency microwaves are at 95 GHz (a wavelength of 3.2 mm about 1/64th of an inch or about 3 sheets of notebook paper) and the beam penetrates skin only to a depth of 1/64th of an inch.

600 hexes @ 9g GHz off of a humvee?
70 something percent efficiency off of salt water from a machine that these guys were waving their hands through? I'd say it's at least possible... maybe only for special/silly applications but there it is. =====
