...and according to him, there are VERY
high-field MRIs with up to 9 Teslas. There is one that strong in New York
City. He often works with one that's 7 Teslas,. and he confirmed all the wacky
stories we've been trading about the extreme magnetic properties of these
machines. IV stands rolling across the floor and slamming into the units,
tattoos becoming hot, etc. etc. The most intriguing thing was that workers are
only allowed to be near the 7 Tesla machine for 1/2 hour at a time because
they get dizzy, apparently from trace elements in the body becoming
magnetized.
By the way, let's give it up for ol' Nikola
Tesla, who did some of his wacky electricity-through-the-air experiments just
a few miles from my home here on Lawn Guyland. Didja know Tesla invented radio
(but didn't patent it because he wanted to transmit stronger energy),
fluorescent lights, AC current, the alternating phase motor, and of course the
Tesla coil (found in virtually all radios and TVs)? Tesla got a bum rap,
however, because he never got the electricity-through-the-air thing happening,
and later on he started fantasizing publicly about "death rays" (lasers) and
the possibility of life on Mars, and probably because of his Eastern European
origins, as opposed to Thomas Edison who was Mister All-American and more of a
public relations manipulator than Nikki.
