Tesla

By 1899 Tesla constructed a new laboratory in Colorado Springs to do research on ways to transmit electrical power and wireless energy over long distances. He made lightning bolts flashed a 100 feet into the air from his 142-foot metal mast supporting a large copper ball within the tower. Tesla wanted to prove that he could send a beam of power across to the other side of the world. Moving back to New York 1900 Tesla began work on the Wardenclyffe Tower facility. By 1902 the Wardenclyffe Tower was located in Shoreham, Long Island, New York. The 187 foot tower was design by architect Stanford White and funded by J.P. Morgan, a wealthy industrialists, along with other venture capitalists.
By 1904 over budgeted, disagreements with Tesla on Morgan's desire to charge people for any electrical energy produce by the tower, J.P. Morgan leaves the project, and encouraged other investors to avoid Tesla's folly. This became a dreadful period for Tesla. Edison held great contempt toward Tesla and denounced his character and judgment, (not to mention AC power). Guglielmo Marconi receives the Nobel Prize for radio in 1909. Tesla kept working on the tower project, but finding no other investors, and his living off patent royalties were ending, he became very depressed.
While others were reaping the financial rewards and prestige with Tesla's work, he was heavily in debt, the Wardenclyffe Tower property was foreclosed twice, broken into, and partially destroyed much of his work. Tesla in 1915 filed a lawsuit against Marconi to obtain a court injunction against the claims of Marconi on the radio patents, but the courts refused him. Tesla in 1916 also filled for bankruptcy owning so much to investors from the past. In 1917 the United States government gave orders to destroyed the Wardenclyffe Tower claiming to prevent its use by foreign agents. The tower was scraped and dismantled. This devastated Tesla, but in 1917 he built Telefunken in Sayville, Long Island. This was a more advance machine than Wardenclyffe and proved some of Tesla's theories, but the facility was seized and torn down by the Marines because it was suspected that it could be used by German spies. This makes very clear the US government was very much aware of Nikola Tesla's viable and dangerous work.
By the 1920's and 1930's were particular hard for Tesla, nearly forgotten, and successfully ridiculed by rivals, and people who didn't understand his ideas. He made few patents at this time and on his 75th birthday in 1931, he made the cover of Time magazine finally acknowledging his contribution to electrical power. But the scientific community regarded Tesla as an eccentric mad-scientist type, with unbelievable ideas and theories.
None of which could be proven true until generations later who understood them.
Tesla even came up with a new Theory of Relativity challenging Albert Einstein's, unheard of at the time. The Dynamic Theory of Gravity by Tesla explains the relation between gravitation and electromagnetic force as a unified field theory (a model over matter, the aether, and energy). It is a unified field theory to unify all the fundamental forces (such as the force between all masses) and particle responses into a single theoretical framework. This theory is under serious consideration by researchers today who now have a better understanding of gravity, matter, and energy.
Tesla died alone in his New York hotel of heart failure, between the evening of January 5 and the morning of January 8, 1943, at the age of 86. Tesla despite his electrical patents had became impoverished and totally in debt. That same year the US Supreme Court upheld Tesla's patent recognizing him as the inventor of radio. Immediately after Tesla's death became known, the Office of Alien Property was ordered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to take possession of his papers and property, even though he was a US citizen. The US military was very much interested in Tesla's work. Just before his death, Tesla was designing his Teleforce weapon or death ray. The FBI and military stated that all his papers, patents, and inventions to be highly classified and top secret.
Tesla's family and the Yugoslav embassy pleaded with the American authorities to gain back his personal effects. Ultimately, his nephew, Sava Kosanovich, got possession of some of his personal items which are now housed in the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade, Serbia. At Niagara Falls on Goat Island is a statue of Nikola Tesla reading a book. Tesla is on the one dollar bill in Serbia/Yugoslavia.
Tesla's inventions changed the world. His applications could be used for good purposes or for great destruction. Here is a recap of some of his best known inventions and patents. In his lifetime Tesla made some 300 patents, unbeknownst to the general public the US government has applied nearly all of them.
1. Alternating Current (AC)
2. Tesla coil
3. Induction motor
4. Wireless technology (including remote control)
5. Tesla electric car
4. Teleforce-Death Ray
5. Robotics
6. Tesla oscillator
7. Rotating magnetic field
8. Particle beam weapon
9. Hydroelectric power system
10. Fluorescent lighting
11. X ray tubes.
During World War II the War Department was looking for anything to give them an edge in leading technology. They knew Tesla had patents for devices that could do incredible things like: A particle beam weapon, a propulsion system based on anti-gravity by means of electricity and magnetism, creating artificial earthquakes from the oscillator, radar invisibility based on Tesla and Einstein's unified field theory (some claim the energy fields of this magnitude in salt water would create a green mist, magnetophosphenes in people, disrupt matter frequencies as described in the rumored "Philadelphia Experiment" during WWII), and lastly, a new power systems that could tap unlimited energy from thin air and a vacuum.
Tesla was a true underrated genius. He was into higher mathematics, analytic geometry, and experimental physics. A man way before his time. He claimed he could transmit energy through space and time. His research in ball lightning and plasma is unsurpassed. Tesla boasted he could gain free energy from voltage difference in the ionosphere that caused lightning. His idea for free energy was a threat. No one on the planet understood more about high frequency technology and high voltage energy than Tesla. He was an expert at understanding vibration and resonance. Tesla knew that everything ever existed has a frequency and possesses a unique vibration that resonates with the heart of the universe. He knew every living thing, matter or energy, was connected. Tesla's mind had discovered so many secrets of how the universe functions and everything was limitless his eyes.
Tesla invented all types of oscillating machines including the Tesla Personal Oscillator which was to promote health and well-being, but just before his death, Tesla was working on Photographing Thought. Tesla was greatly aware that the power of thought, vibration, and resonance energy were connected, and could be enhanced for constructive purposes. Tesla saw a future where people would be talking on wireless phones, sending electronic messages, written or photographs in the airways, and hovering electro-magnetic vehicles.

The forces that be have tried to make the world forget Dr. Nikola Tesla. He is missing from most history books and given only a footnote of recognition. Tesla made life better for everyone on the planet with his innovative technology. But Edison won the popular vote and we are still paying for electrical power in his name.
The US government still holds most of Tesla's patents, blueprints, experimental designs, and have been utilizing them to there own advantage. They would rather you not know about the stuff he created. To fully understand and appreciate this great inventor check your local libraries, local book stores, Amazon.com, "The Tesla Foundation of North America" on the web, and check out links like: http://www.teslasociety.com/
