Bricks and Shirts for Tesla Museum

[FlyingMongoose]

Obviously this could have gone into the interesting stuff thread but I honestly believe it warrants more attention.

Many of you already know this but Nikola Tesla is pretty much the reason I can post this here and the reason you can read it.

Now that the laboratory at Wardynclyffe has been purchased it's time to build the Museum, and you can help!

The bricks may be pricey but buying the shirts supports it too! Also, just sharing the link makes it better. This man needs something in our world to properly educate people on the things he can be considered responsible for!

Tesla invented the internet?

Tesla created the means by which all of these things are possible.

Also, technically... yes

Wouldn't it be fun to be living in a supercharged environment with the electricity passing through all of us on a regular basis? (Because honestly that's what would have happened).

He also died broke.

He was also one of the worlds first modern supervillains (he built an earthquake machine that almost destroyed his apartment building in new york... supposedly), apparently it hit a resonance frequency that matched the structure's resonance frequency and was only a few pounds.
Mythbusters did an episode to see if about a 5 pound alternating piston could potentially shake up a bridge, they built one, and they had to turn it off because it started shaking the bridge and they were scared to let it keep going...

Tesla was awesome, and deserves recognition.
