Exsosus|Cryo| Very fun to hear! I have family in and from Sweden... Sent my son to visit and on my bucket list to go visit. TYVM!

Yes yes yes, Populous!! We have these being built in Sweden now (in real life) a mini-Nuclear reactor , that is being researched by our government to be 100% meltdown safe, and now I may have the same look in my city!

You just made my Skylines gaming week! Tyvm Sir.

Ha! My friend... from Populous.

I see, I see, but can't remember were that quote came from.

Mods change the games programming which can break the code controlling assets. Assets, never change programming, but can be broken by mods. I have a hundred assets broken by game upgrades over the years.

How can a Mod break an asset?

And people ask why I have not been building new assets... Sure my freind, I will look into this.

This is a great asset. I love it and use it always in all my citiies. But the last update of the Mod "Move it" breaks it into pieces somehow. Pls take a look at it and hopefully you can fix this. :)

I know the history well. Due to people like you and I, he lives on and disgusting what they did to him absolutely.

Tesla died a mental giant but poor and penniless in a small NY flat because he wanted to release his finding for the good of the people very cheaply instead of help the govt make profits and also contribute to death rays and other military projects. Edision was basically a yes man for the authorities so all his ideas including some of Teslas which were labelled Edisons got Edison the full recognition and Tesla a forgotten soul.

Hello Dee... so funny you comment on the exact asset I am upgrading right now.... Interesting idea... I will see if it is possible.

Would It Be Possible To Create An Underground Geo Thermal Heating Plant ?

Yeah the band :)

Huge fan of AC/DC! ... the band is who you are talking about right? :)

i like acdc to

I agree on AC and DC, and in that AC swings negative and positive and DC only goes in one direction. Yes, Edison thought he could power the country on DC which would not work due to inductance and impedance. Tesla did design the AC generator which would allow electricity to travel further because it was less susceptible to inductance or impedance. So we are good to this point. The only thing it was the big money of companies like Westinghouse that influenced the government and caused the fall of Tesla. HOWEVER you are correct Edison believed Tesla’s theory on AC was “impractical” and both men publically criticized each others work.

I did not take your posts as challenging or negative in any way jobro_06 and hope you feel the same.

@ Populous: Interesting, well I'm glad to know that you have a degree in Electronic Engineering.
So would you agree with me that AC stands for Alternating Current whilst DC stands for Direct Current? Would you agree with me that AC can go in any direction whilst DC can only go in one?Also, do you agree with me that Edison was pro DC whilst Tesla was all for AC? If you agree with me on both of these then that's great because what I'm sharing on here are my own hypothetical theories on why T.Edison beat Tesla.

Point is, I'm not here to challenge you or your knowledge with regards to Electrical Engineering. So you're mistaken if you think I'm doing so.

Say, jobro_06, having a degree as an Electronic Engineering... this is not quite how I remember the theory or the history, but I will say very interesting read. Thank you.

Also, there are many forms of AC - Alternating Currents that people could theoretically use or harness for electrical needs. Radio and Micro Waves are forms of AC Currents.

The advantage of AC current over DC current you see is that AC current can also reverse, whilst DC current only goes in one direction. I suppose, hypothetically speaking, maybe both Edison and Tesla's observers realised this and for them and the time and were talking late to early 1900s, AC current just seemed too radical and different at the time. I think Edison may have ultimately won in the end because his way was far more conservative than that of Tesla.

@ Populous: Yes, but the thing that let Tesla down was his lack of both financial and social contacts. People thought he was a psycho for crying out loud lol. So Tesla had it hard from the very first time he set foot in America. Its sad to know that a genius like Tesla just wasted away in a lab somewhere out in the country. Sad.

@jobro_06, here is a little known fact for you... Tesla at 14 years old looked at Edison's DC generator diagram.... said no, that wont work and came to America with the AC generator design. Edison was trying to power the country on DC current...

@ Populous: Yes I've hear of Joseph Newman and I've read and watched a lot of the documentaries regarding Tesla. Don't get me wrong, but basically what people said is that if Tesla had beaten T.Edison, that everyone in America would have ended up with free electricity. This is due to Tesla's own machine using or needing very little in terms of finacial resources to operate. I don't know if you've seen the Tesla Coil device he invented, but according to the design, this machine's purpose was to generate electricity through harnessing lightning. That's how much of a genius Tesla was. He was so way ahead of his time.

This is what the Hungarian Tesla wanted, having come from a very poor background. However, T.Edison (who was his only real competitor) had money and he had connections. Not to mention, he was also an inventor of other notable inventions. So T.Edison was already well known at the time, plus he had connections both in the financial, political and industrial sectors. He won the whole AC/DC race and ultimately bankrupted and drove Tesla to insanity. Tesla died a poor man, but had his inventions been taken in or accepted, I think we'd all be living in a slightly better world.

Not at all. Here the customer pays the bill, not the city, however in this case there is a small twist in the story in that it is a Perpetual Motion Laboratory and given I have actually seen an actual replica of the machine as designed by Tesla, the cost and maintenance are little more than the ownership of a bicycle per machine... Or if you prefer Joseph Newman in his Antigravity version… as it is a Perpetual Motion Laboratory.

Interesting. So would you class it as free electricity?

Very good point jobro_06! Where I live, electric companies sell power to the point they have extra to donate to improvements, solar powered homes, etc. and investors still make awesome money... the city does not pay the electric companies because they are privately companies and make good income selling power to the public. They are not publically owned.

Populous: "Why would a power plant require the city to pay?"

Answer: Maybe for its maintenance so it can continue to produce electricity?
