"universal"? As opposed to....?

universal meaning affordable to many that presently can't afford them [hundreds of dollars rather than thousands] and with interchangeable parts.


I figured that, but it is not what I pictured when I read it initially...

am curious, what did you picture? ;)


You meant "universal" as in "universal health care". She prolly imagined "one size fits all"?

Tesla did it, but his plans might have sterilized the soil. We have wireless chargers for 'phones now, but there's always a loss and leakage of energy, and that usually upsets something that lives at the same frequency.
