A good introduction (more about cathode ray tubes really, but still worth the read). .99 --------------------------- "Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe.

do you have that patent handy by chance? The photoelectric effect is what takes place in solar panels right? I assume tesla's radiant energy patent is different? Or is this a precursor to solar technology?
