Aaaaand they're over halfway there in less than a day.

Crowdsourced funding is some scary-ass black magic shit.  :o

The best part is that the New York State have said they will match whatever he manages to raise. I can see the headlines now; "Oatmeal Bankrupts Entire City" :P
Supposedly, Elon Musk is contributing as well. Idiosyncratic mad scientists have to stick together...

Funnily enough, I actually went to Scienceworks in Melbourne on Monday and they had a working tesla coil demonstration. Definitely the highlight of the day, everything else was rather lame in comparison.

So yeah, the world definitely needs more magic lightning death machines Tesla coils. The more the merrier.

They're matching everything up to 850,000

This museum needs a gigantic tesla coil display on the roof that flips the bird in the direction of the nearest Edison museum.

QFT. Everyone with interest in different projects are always the ones without income. :'(

In Sweden, digital electronics is considered unteachable. That is why you are not being taught about it.
Most attempts of sesquipedalian loquaciousness on the internet will most likely end up in egregious delusions of eloquence. Finagle's law commands it!

A part of my next paycheck is going towards this for sure!
Tesla was probably the greatest engineering geek ever.

Certainly you could argue that DF is a lot like The Sims, only... you know... with more vomit and decapitation.

Jesus. Two people donated $33333, with one slot left. One of them directed a film about Tesla, too.

Hopefully this museum will help raise awareness of Tesla being the greatest goddamn scientist ever.
