If we use tubes to amplify watts why can't we use tubes to amplify the wattage of a solar panel? 😕
We use tubes to amplify a signal, and watts come out. If you want more watts from a solar panel, just get more solar panels.😉

If you'd find a way of creating energy out of nothing then you'd become filthy rich overnight. But it's been tried before....
That's like saying if I connect an amplifier to a battery the battery will get bigger..
DUMB.
Bahahahaha, what if you stick a tube in the sun I wonder if power would come out. 😀 Tesla said there is an unlimited amount of free energy from the tube. I wonder what he meant?
This link seems pretty cool.

Tesla was crazy. A genius to whom we are forever indebted, but he was nuts. Now, he was talking about and working on ideas for capturing solar radiation and of transmitting power without cables. (not visible light) If his papers had not disappeared, we might know what he was talking about and move forward.
If you stick a tune in the sun, it will warm up and yes, some of that visible light will be down-converted and radiated back out as heat.

Some things seem to defy the laws of physics. Beagles for instance. I swear that more poop comes out than dog food goes in.
Since your dog's production is mostly dog food mixed with water, mix some water with some dog food and see if it offers larger displacement or mass than the dog food alone. 😉
I really need to take some electronics courses...
Please do. The good news is the WEB has tons of very good classes. Intro all the way to everything MIT has is on-line. Many here can help you. A basic physics class does not hurt either.
Tesla did experiments in power transmission by setting up standing waves in the atmosphere. He burned up the Niagra Falls generator on one occasion when doing this.
He was able to extract energy at a distance of something like 12 miles and power lightbulbs.
Now there are several problems with such a method of transmission, not the least of which is efficiency.
No laws of physics were violated.
The claim he powered a Pierce-Arrow with a dozen tubes and "an 80-horsepower alternating-current (AC) electric motor" I find incredulous. 80HP is about 6KW. It would take a lot more than a dozen tubes he could buy in a "local radio supply shop" to handle that much power.
I'll stick to accepting the laws of physics.

I think there was a lot more politics in Tesla's exploits than folks think. Think about all this "power beaming" technology, no lines to license, etc. People did as you say also downplay issues of efficiency and collateral damage.
Right just like the water powered cars.

Started last night, I'm up to page 16, gotta let it all sink in... most of it is kinda familiar. 🙂
