Power Your AMD Via Tesla Coils
Propane writes "Here's a fine gentleman that decided to power his AthlonXP via a Tesla Coil right here at arstechnia. Looks like he has some cooling issues, he is currently looking for suggestions on cooling, maybe he can get some tips from
Misson: Submersible."
I use MY Tesla Coil to talk to the ALIENS...
"Can of worms? The can is open... the worms are everywhere."
Me thinks the SETI aliens he's looking for will notice the tesla sparks before he notices the aliens.
I'm sure there's noise limit laws to prevent this kind of thing (:
Ladies, form queue here -->
Any real inventor would make sure it had an infinite supply of power.
After obliterating his computer with a Tesla Coil, will he return the parts as defective or broken?
"Can of worms? The can is open... the worms are everywhere."
From the look of this setup, I have a strange feeling this guy did a tour of duty on that Russian refueling station in Armageddon. Wonder if he quit smoking.
This is just lame. I wish the guy actual would have hooked up a tesla coil to his mobo. It would make for a much more interesting story.
I can't wait for the quantum computers. It'll be funny watching people try to squeeze a few more exa-flops out of thier computers via relativity.
I've done research about this. I've seen all of the movies about lightning and read all of the comic books. They lead to this conclusion:
1) The main effect of lightning is that you black out. When you wake up, something will be different.
2) Usually the different thing is your brain. You may have gained ESP, or perhaps telekinesis.
3) Sometimes the result of a lightning strike is speed. Since lightning moves so fast, it may transfer this speed into you. It is also possible that conditions #2 and #3 both happen, meaning that you think super-fast.
4) Occasionally, the electricity of the lightning will be transferred to you. If this happens, you have most likely become a being of pure energy, capable of jumping into electrical sockets, flying, etc. You'll also have super speed, since as we know, electricity is fast.
5) If its a rare, freak accident, you may not gain any super powers at all. However, this means that something important happened to someone ELSE while you were passed out. Perhaps, for example, your arch-nemesis kidnapped your fiance. This is most likely to happen if you already HAVE super powers, or at least really cool talents.
6) All plasma state electrical discharges have the same capabilities of imbuing super powers as lightening does. Be warned, however, that when you do experiments in a LAB involving lighting, you're likely to get a side effect of criminal insanity due to the electrical strike, especially if you already know a super-hero or are working late into the night. If your an ASSISTANT of someone else who is doing the work, and you're just there because you're trying to make money for a good reason (for instance, to buy your mother a nice birthday present), you're almost guaranteed to get super powers if there is an accident.
Mod me down and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!
Next idea: Apply those Tesla coils to Taco's shock therapy ...
It's pretty amazing that over 90% of the posters think this is real or something. It's a JOKE. It's funny, laugh.
Now, for those of you who still think it's real... If you send me $40, I can tell you how to read women's minds.
