10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943.

So it is true, Tesla is not dead. He is very much alive among us. Among us is a triumph of his life, his achievement which we celebrate here.

Nikola Tesla was an inventor and a mechanical and electrical engineer. Born in Smiljan, Croatian Krajina, Austrian Empire, he was an ethnic Serb subject of the Austrian Empire and later became an American citizen. Tesla is best known for many revolutionary contributions in the field of electricity and magnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Tesla’s patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern alternating current electric power (AC) systems, including the polyphase power distribution systems and the AC motor, with which he helped usher in the Second Industrial Revolution. Contemporary biographers of Tesla have regarded him as “The Father of Physics”, “The man who invented the twentieth century” and “the patron saint of modern electricity.”

After his demonstration of wireless communication (radio) in 1894 and after being the victor in the “War of Currents”, he was widely respected as one of the greatest electrical engineers who worked in America. Much of his early work pioneered modern electrical engineering and many of his discoveries were of groundbreaking importance. During this period, in the United States, Tesla’s fame rivaled that of any other inventor or scientist in history or popular culture, but due to his eccentric personality and his seemingly unbelievable and sometimes bizarre claims about possible scientific and technological developments, Tesla was ultimately and totally wrong, miss credited and regarded as a mad scientist. Tesla died impoverished at the age of 86.

Nikola Tesla was the greatest scientist, and he specialized in the field of electricity and electromagnetic fields, he did invent the electric energy ,as we know it today,but he died in a hotel room, alone and poor. He was of Serb descent and most of his work was conducted in the United States. Tesla’s electricity runs everything electrical on this planet and lights cities, towns, and villages on all continents.But he never became known as the “worlds greatest inventor” like Thomas Edison who he marketed himself relentlessly as such, as opposed to the brilliant but reclusive wacko Tesla. Tesla spend all his money by building more elaborate .He invent also remote control , radio , laser, x-rays, spark transmitter , electric spark system used to run all gasoline engines, and several hundred patents, like possibility to transmit electrical power from one place to another without electrical cables! In 1895, Tesla and Westinghouse built the first large hydro-electric power plant at Niagara Falls, NY, this was the final victory of Alternating Current Electricity Nikola Tesla not only wanted to give the world free energy , he had completed a dynamic theory of gravity, and he had a lot of brilliant ideas and unfortunately we will never know all of them since he kept most of them.



His name was Nikola Tesla.He's a virtually unknown in the United States, despite his accomplishments. I'm not sure why. Some people feel it's a dark plot, the same people who are into conspiracy theories. I feel it's more that Tesla, while a brilliant inventor, was also an awful businessman; he ended up going broke. Businessmen who go broke fade out of the public eye; we see this in the computer industry all the time. Edison, who wasn't near the inventor Tesla was, but who was a better businessman, is well remembered as is his General Electric. Still, let me list a few of Tesla's works just so you'll understand how bright he was. He invented the AC motor and transformer. (Think of every motor in your house.) He invented 3-phase electricity and popularized alternating current, the electrical distribution system used all over the world. He invented the Tesla Coil, which makes the high voltage that drives the picture tube in your computer's CRT. He is now credited with inventing modern radio as well; the Supreme Court overturned Marconi's patent in 1943 in favor of Tesla. Tesla, in short, invented much of the equipment that gets power to your home every day from miles away, and many that use that power inside your home.

He was of Serb descent and most of his work was conducted in the United States.

You've heard of the Strategic Defense Initiative, or "Star Wars". We're searching for a way to stop a nuclear attack. Right now, we've got all sorts of high powered research projects, with the emphasis on "new technology". Excimer laser, kinetic kill techniques, and even more exotic ideas.

As any of you know that have written computer programs, it's darned hard to get something "new" to work. Maybe it's an error to focus on "new" exclusively. Wouldn't it be something if the solution to SDI lies a hundred years ago, in the forgotten brilliance of Nikola Tesla? For right now we can immobilize the electronics of installations half a planet away. The technology to do it was achieved in 1899, and promptly forgotten.Tesla's investors dropped the project when they realized there was no way to meter the power to make money on the end user. We've been trying to catch up for 100 years and are still far behind where he was with his understanding of radiant energy. With reportedly over 700 patents awarded him worldwide, no wonder it has taken us so long to catch up. The man who shaped the twentieth century, with his invention of the radio, radar, x-ray, AC power, and the induction motor, is now shaping the twenty-first century as we finally begin implementing his methods of tapping and distributing free energy.

Dr. Nikola Tesla not only wanted to give the world free energy, Tesla developed components of technology whereby it could be accomplished. Tesla was a physicist, inventor, and electrical engineer of unusual intellectual brilliance and practical achievement,who contributed to later developments in a number of fields, including robotics, ballistics, computer science, nuclear physics and theoretical physics. Remember, we're not talking vague, unproven theories here. We're talking the world's record for lightning, and the inventor whose power system lights up your house at night.

Nikola Tesla was one of the greatest and most gifted men ever to have walked this Earth and a great loss to the world in due to miss credits from certain unwanted persons. He died on January 7, 1943 in a New York hotel room, alone, poor and forgotten . But his life among us is now in triumph and must not be forgotten his life achievements which we celebrate here now forever.
