WHOIS:@bifilarcoil [STEEMIT NAME CHALLENGE]

in #steemitnamechallenge8 years ago (edited)

As challenged by @amariespeaks, I accept the challenge and will most likely brake the rules as rules are made to be broken.

DISCLAIMER: Corporations break rules all the time, at the account of the people who should be protected BY the rules. Eventhough I do not like to break rules, when I see rules that are backwards, or rules that should not exist then I make sparks.

What a way to start a post...

I'll blatantly plagiarise the rules from @amariespeaks since they explain things just fine and I also like to be as lazy as the cookbook-plagiarising-steemwales for a change..

The rules for this challenge:

  • Tell us in a post how you chose the current Steemit username you have. The story behind it.
  • Tell us your real name!
  • If you could change your current username, which name would you choose and why? If you have a * possible usernames list, mention it!
  • Use the tag #steemitnamechallenge so that the creator of the challenge can track all the posts and check them out
  • Nominate 5 people for this challenge

Now, lets do this:



WHOIS:@bifilarcoil?

A bifilarcoil is many things:
It is a discovery, or some may call it an invention, by one of the most influential people in the tech world, Nikola Tesla. Everything that has electrons running over it, is in one way or another related to at the very least one of Nikola's ideas.

A bifilarcoil is a capacitive inductor that has a natural self resonance. Trigger it and it rings it will release more energy then what you put in to it. Curious? Then dig into Tesla's patent of the pancake coil, this is 'the Tesla coil'
Yet there are many other ways to make bifilar coils , those are the most common.

Another bifilarcoil is the very thing that makes a human our DNA, and as our bodies are made of atoms this now may make you even more curious. :-P

Electronics 101:
An inductor, also called a coil, choke or reactor, is a passive two-terminal electrical component that stores energy in a magnetic field when electric current flows through it. An inductor typically consists of an insulated wire wound into a coil around a core.(blatantly plagiarised from the ever so inaccurate wikipedia)

And these coils generate a something called Back-EMF:
Counter-electromotive force, also known as back electromotive force, is the electromotive force or "voltage" that opposes the change in current which induced it. CEMF is the EMF caused by magnetic induction. (again wikipedia speak)

Do those who know me a little, recognise anything? :-)

My real name is a matter of privacy. I have a Spanish first name, named after a massive block of stone somewhere in Greece. My name is not very common, If I mention my name here then too many people who know me can find me far to easy. And due to search engines these people may hunt me down. (THANKS GOOGLE!)
So I rather not type my full name here. Still the few people who really know me will have recognised me already. And they know that I'm not hiding as such. I just like to keep some distance from a few bad actors known as 'government bureaucrats'.
I don't need those parasites around me. So my name is just not important. I had my fame, I learned about EGO, and frankly, life without a name is far more interesting. As people then experience their own ego, in chasing after my EGO, and are not distracted by a name that would mislead them into false assumptions that tend to go with certain names.
In my case a Spanish name, even though I'm Dutch, and my name actually comes from Greece somehow.
Just because my parents found it to be a cool name. And yes it is a cool name! Just to unique in a world with GOOGELY POOP, and that slightly sucks. The disrespect of the basic human right of privacy is felt FAR stronger by people with unique names, then by people with common names. Pete, Harry, Tom, etc, some names are so common that you can't even find them on farcebook since there are to many with the very same name.

SO Parents to be: When you want you child to have a fighting chance to have SOME privacy in the 21th century then give them a boring name.

I don't feel the need for another name. As my name also made me who I am. A big rock from Greece that refuses to be moved. :-)

Hmmmm, maybe my name should just be bifilarcoil. But on another website I would have picked a different name.

There are many more aspects to the name bifilarcoil, it has an impedance, it resists, but it does more then that, it inducts. It's magnetic field collapses into infinite equilibrium at the speed of light.

And then there is the fact that Tesla tried to share all his knowledge, even though greedy bastards like Westinghouse tried to suppress Tesla's knowledge by buying it. When Westinghouse was on the brink of bankruptcy Tesla even tore up a contract that today would have been worth BILLIONS. And saved the greedy bastard who essentially ripped Tesla off.
However not many people realise that by the destruction of he contract Tesla was able to set his ideas free. And for the rest of his life he chose to live in poverty, was this all to be able to share his ideas with humanity? You tell me?



I would like to nominate:

@palikari123 :
(co-conspirator MEME artist on the exact opposite side of this solar driftwood)

@simon62:
(blackisted mystery-man who caught my attention with a few very interesting articles)

@underground:
(who gave me one hell of a book of 2442 pages to spark an endless e-stream)

@cmw:
(who I happen to agree with on interesting subjects, and then get one layer closer to the essence)

@cureblindnessorg:
(who pointed me to an RT clip that still resonates in my mind)

I could nominate more people who really made my neurons fire.
@celebretypoet, @jan23.com, @deliberator, @bashadow, @pretty.dorky, @penderis, @sirskillful, @backpackingmonk, @whatamidoing

ok ok, I'll stop the name calling.

I hope that this tells enough about me without having to put down my full name here.



And last but not least.

TRUMP, STOP THE WAR , #reconnectjulian and be ashamed of yourself for killing innocent people.

Sort:  

As you called...this page came up and i couldn't resist.
You missed JP Morgan.

really? I tought I fixed that back then... For some reason I mix up Pierpont Morgan with Westinghouse...

Good to know that you know that detail!

It's a shame I can't edit the post to fix it.

O wait that was Westinghouse... hehe now i'm confusing myself

There was a contract that he ripped and i think that was Westinghouse. But the bastard was JP Morgan. What's that structure that he built in New York regarding electricity that Morgan stopped funding? If you are rich, do one like that. But you might get killed.

Yes Tesla Wireless would have been a financial disaster for Morgan.
To the money men making money is key. And people are of no importance,

The people are the lowest in the chain, drained of resources, life and dreams.
Go crypto!!

Crypto also has it's flaws. Privacy being the biggest flaw. And actually a very dangerous flaw.

Crypto have a lot of flaws. Was it created for easier access? Being off-grid and still do cryptos sound good?

Already did the name thingy

BIF! 🤑

As for Tesla tearing up a contract, that was for WESTINGHOUSE, whom TPTB had driven to the brink of bankruptcy. Tesla wanted to see his work go forward regardless of any monies owed, he had a royalty due on each AC Induction Motor that would have made him enormously wealthy.

TESLA was like the ORIGINAL OPEN SOURCE Inventor

Thanks for the heads up @underground!
JP was making noise from another side of my brain LOL

But nobody is telling us that by tearing up that contract Tesla's inventions got set free.
We should have a closer look at this. Was it only about AC induction motors? I'll look it up in Margret's Book... If I can find it...

TPTB, is JP Morgan and Co. right? (Co. as in co conspirators)

I need to rewrite that bit once i get my brain untangled

I will have to think about this one, I am not sure if I feel like doing it or not. To many challenges, so I will most likely pass.

Hi @bashadow, thanks for stopping by.
you are not one of the 5 nominees as such, Yet your name in itself invites you to challenges like this one.
So you still have time to think about this until someone really nominates you.

This challenge was a big one for me. And I hope it tells enough about me without revealing too much.

I knew you'd make one hell of a post for this!! ;-) I already knew your name fit you perfectly but I hope new people will not only see you more clearly but also get a bit of info on tesla coils and all the fantastic magic science behind it! Your sarcastic wit kept me laughing the whole time :) Thanks for taking part !

:D thank you! Now I know how hard and how easy it is to explain who I am.
