Here ya go Bos... the "eartnquake machine did nothing but produce mechanical resonance... a well known phenomena.  You continue to fall for urban legands...

QuoteEarthquake machine

Tesla's later evolution of his electromechanical oscillator shown at the World's Columbian Exposition.Nikola Tesla established a laboratory at 46 E Houston Street in New York. There, at one point while experimenting with mechanical oscillators, he allegedly generated a resonance of several buildings causing complaints to the police. As the speed grew he hit the resonance frequency of his own building and belatedly realizing the danger he was forced to apply a sledge hammer to terminate the experiment, just as the astonished police arrived.[5] The Discovery Channel's popular MythBusters show examined Tesla's claim that he had created an "Earthquake Machine" in their 60th episode. They tested the physical phenomenon known as mechanical resonance on a traffic bridge, reportedly feeling the bridge vibrating many yards away.


Oh yeah,mythbusters are valid evidence that his work doesn't work.
Are you serious?
Comparing two guys who have show on Discovery to a Nikola Tesla is a joke.If they knew anything they wouldn't be on a Discovery.

Uh, what does a story about problems in the Catholic Church have to do with volcanoes in Iceland (or N. Tesla)?

oh yeah, and wikipedia is such a REPUTABLE source for information.

Wikipedia is one of the great success stories of humanity over the last decade or so.  It may have errors here and there, but studies have shown that overall, it is just as accurate as some of the leading print Encyclopedias of the past. Wikipedia is such an incredible resource, it's a shame to still see people dismissing it as if it's some ratty Geocities site.

Did I say that I was dismissing it? No, but I can only believe so much from that site, and considering all this bs with HAARP and the stupid crazy theories surrounding it, I write it off quickly.

Fair enough... but if you dispute some information from a Wikipedia post... please feel free to refute it with a post which you consider more authoritative.
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

On Wednesday officials reported that the Iceland volcano eruption had opened a new fissure about 980 feet (300 meters) long that's spewing lava. Geologists think the new vent means that volcanic activity will start appearing farther north, endangering a wildlife reserve that's a popular tourist attraction, Reuters reported.
