Of all the sections on this site, I am sure this is the one that has people that can take action on this topic, that is why I am posting it here.

You must have an open mind and some patience to be constructive on this thread.

Now read this:  http://www.greenjoyment.com/tesla-electricity-e2

If you have read the link above and think that it is fraud, then maybe this might sway your opinion http://reviewbest.net/tesla-cover-review-green-energy-solution-tesla-free-energy

Now, are there people who are willing to try this technology and then commercialise it in Nigeria? We do not need the validation of the western world they have had constant electricity for about a century now. So what do you think?

This is very interesting

My brother, you see me so.

is this the new format? very soon guys will start organizing seminars and workshops. . .

Witty but not constructive, people like you will never try anything new as early adopters, but will wait for businessmen to corner the idea and fleece you of your money.

Here is another one for you to go and search on Google 'Wireless Electricity' Also known as Witricity.

Trust majority of Naija people, instead of seeking to apply the technology to their country and get benefits, they would rather go bragging: "my phone runs on witricity" in about 5 years time.

Regarding people organising seminars on this concept in the near future, you are probably right (shame they won't pay me for sharing the idea here). However, that is not the point. The point is: does the technology work (I think it is practicable) and can it help prevent our people from dying of carbon monoxide poisoning from generators just because they want to enjoy the fan overnight when PHCN took the light (I mean cut the electricity if you are not Nigerian)?

In case you are wondering who is the "crazy" (I mean brilliant) scientist behind these ideas, click here to read the profile of Nikola Tesla on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla,_Nikola

I know this has a feel of a lecture or fiction but for GOD's sake, these ideas can change this country and help us solve about 40% of our problems: Electricity supply, unemployment and the economy. So what is our Ministry of Science and Technology doing?

@Poster, you yourself might want to read up on the technology on your own. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_energy_transfer . Even this requires a SOURCE, which remains the big problem in with Nigeria's supply. The Source still does not produce enough electricity for wired/wireless consumers to consume. Or do you plan to get this one out of thing air?

I do not want to enter a technology argument. Tesla and Edison had their own battle years ago. Now, the point is somebody says he can demonstrate that the technology works. I do not have the means to test his idea. I am putting it in the public domain for anybody who might be interested in this in Nigeria with our peculiar electricity challenges, it is definitely worth a try. Note that Witricity, which is a concept that Tesla pioneered is now a proven technology and there are products available in Europe and America, despite the fact that he was scorned all those years back.

All I am saying is that must we wait for 10 years to be taught by "the developed world" that these concepts work before we adopt them? Also in the first link I posted above the guy does not say that the technology does not use fuel. The fuel is the sun. 

For the sake of clarity this link contains the idea we want to test: http://www.greenjoyment.com/tesla-electricity-e2

Do not bother testing Witricity it is proven by your link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_energy_transfer

a) You asked --- Can we use this to solve Our electricity shortage in Nigeria once and for all . . . . and I answer NO, because our problem has not been about getting electricity to people but actually generating electricity enough to send around.

b) Does Witricity work and is it being used today? I answer YES and YES

c) Must we wait for 10 years to be taught by "the developed world" that these concepts work before we adopt them? I am not sure what miracle you expect this to perform in developing countries. Wireless Electricity cannot be applied as solution to POWER SHORTAGE PROBLEMS --- Again, the problem we have today is not necessarily that of delivery but production. It might be funky cool to invest in wireless delivery, but we complain we don't even have enough money to produce electricity in the first place.

Plenty of natural gas and coal in this country. I'd much rather invest in that as a solution.

I do not think you are reading these posts clearly. The idea is that each house would have their own quietly efficient generator just like virtually every home has its own TV antenna. So what if you test this technology and it works, setup a factory to build the generators and market it to people like me willing to buy. Then you can become a billionaire

Trust me while you are debating, people who have this mentality are probably placing orders for the kit. If it actually works, we will all hear about it very soon. The problem with a lot of us is that if something does not come from Popular media we throw it away.

You really need to read up on what you are selling people ooo!!! lol

You mean like people already do today with their Diesel Generators, Solar Panels, Wind generators etc?

OK, so set up a power generating plant to actually mass produce power (something we have still not been able to do very well in Nigeria and we are still struggling with)?

Dude, do your research to at least get a better understanding of what it is you are actually selling people here.

Let us be frank here, you have not read the links thoroughly and you are just out to ridicule the idea. So are you saying one giant plant meeting demand for alternative power generators that work (if this idea is true) by producing them is the same as millions of Nigerians using diesel and petrol generators. You are very brilliant aren't you?

How would we power the plant? Well it does not matter, ask Dangote how he powers his cement plants. Are you saying that his plants consume the same fuel as Nigerian homes consume on generators? Remember, this idea runs on modified solar energy.

I came upon your thread, opened it and was shocked to find you advocating WIRELESS ELECTRICITY as a possible solution to the Nigerian situation. I think wondered why anyone who even knows what WIRELESS ELECTRICITY is really all about would do such. I clicked on the link and realized there and then you probably had no clue what you were really selling.

  What planet/galaxy are you from? 

Exactly, these ideas are shocking to peogle like you, just ignore them. I mentioned Wireless electricity as an example of an unconventional technology that was ignored a century ago. It is not the crux of this thread. Nairalanders are not so patient, if this ideas are as wack as you seem determined to potray, your crew go don hammer me,know? Let me give you a clue- to invent or discover something new, you have to move away usually from the safe and easy-to-follow logic you have always been fed with.

Sigh! Just don't think you can sell people some scam and expect folks not to call you out on it.

In what language do you want me to tell you that I am not promoting wireless electricity. The very first link I posted requires wires to distribute electricity within the building using it. The Wireless electricity bit in my subsequent post is not what I am trying to get peoples attention for. You are just teasing me, abi? And know that technology does get lost and abandoned, nobody knows for sure how the ancient egyptians really built the pyramids.

@kobojunkie, I am not a marketer for this guy. I am just a technology enthusiast, really. click my profile, you will get an idea of what I do for a living.

I am a technology enthusiast myself and I can tell you that much of what you have on this does not even line up with facts. Wireless electricity is to Wired grid connection what the IPad is to Laptops or desktops. It is not some revolutionary science that will save Africa from blackouts and I don't see what point, if any, you are trying to make here with this.

Yes Ma.

I didn't bother reading the links initially (and still have not); sorta had the suspicion that this was much ado about nothing.

Anyway, here is a relevant wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_energy_transfer

Long story short, it is useful for transmission, but not for generation. And power generation is Nigeria's main problem, not really distribution per se.

Oga, u no read message, u dey reply. The very first link is meant to answer the problem of generation for each household that adopts it. Obviously your mind is closed from what you just posted. By replying my posts without reading the links, you have shown that if you have enough encouragement from the likes of kobojunkie, you can write an examination without reading the questions talkless of instructions.

To summarize, I have presented two concepts on this thread, they are:

1. Tesla Generator (See the first and second links on this thread) and

2. Witricity (Wireless Electricity)

One is not dependent on the other.

So, if you are going to research or critique these concepts/ideas, do so on this basis.
