minermark Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 A short rant about the cables. So back to the early days, coffee and no cables. The transmission could have been N. Tesla wireless transmisson or T. Edison wired up for big energy demands the way we are at present. Plus we have the wireless devices, radios, phones, wi-fi, etc, even this USB wireless mouse I am using. What a different World we would have if all the energy we use was being transmitted thru the air waves. Wireless speakers, appliances vehicles would not need gas/batteries, homes get heat/air cond with out the service connection. We would have no wired grids, but perhaps all this energy in the air/ozone would cause other unknown conditions? You need some Duggans...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 You need some Duggans...... Question remains: Was Tesla's concept buried by the big interests or was it a dope dream? We know Tesla was a genius. Samuel Clemens SWEARS (yes, he was a humorist but his comments on this don't sound like a joke) that he walked into Nicolai's lab and saw him levitated between a couple of weird electrical devices. Anyway, he'd apparently demonstrated lighting bulbs and such from several hundred years via air-transmitted power and convinced investors to let him build a full scale model. Not going into the details, as they are readily available, but will quote Tesla: "As soon as [the Wardenclyffe facility is] completed, it will be possible for a business man in New York to dictate instructions, and have them instantly appear in type at his office in London or elsewhere. He will be able to call up, from his desk, and talk to any telephone subscriber on the globe, without any change whatever in the existing equipment. An inexpensive instrument, not bigger than a watch, will enable its bearer to hear anywhere, on sea or land, music or song, the speech of a political leader, the address of an eminent man of science, or the sermon of an eloquent clergyman, delivered in some other place, however distant. In the same manner any picture, character, drawing, or print can be transferred from one to another place ..." – "The Future of the Wireless Art," Wireless Telegraphy and Telephony, 1908, pg. 67–71. "It is not a dream, it is a simple feat of scientific electrical engineering, only expensive – blind, faint-hearted, doubting world! [...] Humanity is not yet sufficiently advanced to be willingly led by the discoverer's keen searching sense. But who knows? Perhaps it is better in this present world of ours that a revolutionary idea or invention instead of being helped and patted, be hampered and ill-treated in its adolescence – by want of means, by selfish interest, pedantry, stupidity and ignorance; that it be attacked and stifled; that it pass through bitter trials and tribulations, through the strife of commercial existence. So do we get our light. So all that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combatted, suppressed – only to emerge all the more powerfully, all the more triumphantly from the struggle." – "The Transmission of Electrical Energy Without Wires as a Means for Furthering Peace," Electrical World and Engineer, January 7, 1905. Seems he was politically naïve and had bad timing. He seems to have figured that most investors would be able to comprehend the value of world wide radio communications and the technology compared to his real goal - wireless electrical transmission. He was right...but Marconi beat him to the punch and when he revealed his real plans most thought him nutszoid. The Wardenclyffe tower was never completed. The more germane point is that no one has ever attempted to complete the experiment. So we still don't know... Back to coffee, cold brew in particular. I'd mentioned a few pages back I still had my cold brew rig acquired and used to good effect in the 80s. Now a fiendishly clever and simple concept has revealed itself to me: The cold brew lovers say many of the subtleties of fine coffee are lost in heat brewing, and the hot brew crowd says that cold brew doesn't reveal things that heat does. Think I'll try both. Make cold brew. Put it in the pot, then brew hot coffee to provide a 50/50 mix of hot and cold brew. BTW, seems I recall that the cold brew I made was MUCH more concentrated than those mentioned here at perhaps (if memory serves) more like a 5 to 1 mix to make a cup.

Tarheel Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 How about doing a taste test between hot and cold before you mix the two and let us know your impressions. I don't know what I would do with 5 gallons but I can try a smaller batch if the cold brew is better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Don't think you'd ever get through 5 gallons before it went south. Refrigerated, it lasts quite a while...but hardly indefinitely. Pretty sure I recall the taste of cold brew...very different but compelling. Dave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Gents Dirty old man.................Ok I'll join you, our neighbor cuts her grass in her tiny bikini and suns a lot, but she's not 19, probably around 45+, tall thin and looks to be injected with silicone. Overall not bad at all from a couple hundred feet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Cold brew sounds tasty....maybe a little time consuming but tasty. Especially in hot weather. 83 here now and heavy pollen! Well I'm considering doing a 5 gallon batch. Then putting it on tap in a kegerator 8-) And I thought I liked coffee ! It keeps fresh for up to 8 weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
