A lot of Tesla's work is still classified and "top secret" after all this time.
The results of many of his creations are all around us and considered necessities by most of us today. Why the attempt to delete this scientist from our history books after his death? Don't you love mysteries?
He can't have been too bad, Mark Twain was one of his best friends...

He may have been born ahead of our time also. There are some folks who just don't seem to fit well into any time, like Tesla, a couple of others that come to mind would be Ben Franklin and Leonardo DiVinci. Strange humans?

I bet you are right! Even in his own time, he was able to do it against all odds! In spite of poverty and the politics of the time.

Considering his ideas of free wireless energy. Think about it, I don't think it would have been a good idea to live in a microwave oven all our lives. Yes, he would have left his mark alright.

Yes he was, he needed a good manager and protector. And medical doctor, his life was a very strange story, indeed.

You are definitely not alone, and I do not understand why, after his death, was so much about him erased.
In addition to the electricity we use today and the AC motor, the radio, the Tesla Coil, vacuum tubes, X-rays, and hydroelectric generators; Tesla had time to develop: The loudspeaker, Fluorescent lights, Radar, The rotary engine, Microwaves, The basis for diathermy (deep heating tissues through the use of high-frequency electrical current), and an 'automatic mechanism controlled through a simple tuned circuit' - remote radio control.
He also worked on: Missiles; Particle beam weaponry; Satellites; Nuclear fission; Robots.
He died in 1943. But at the time it was kind of like, "Shhh, don't tell anyone about him".

Thanks nostalgia, for those who are unfamilar the Tunguska event happened in Russia, 1908. There is still speculation about asteroid or comet and did it explode before impact?
From wikipedia:
"..At around 7:15 a.m., Tungus natives and Russian settlers in the hills northwest of Lake Baikal observed a column of bluish light, nearly as bright as the Sun, moving across the sky. About 10 minutes later, there was a flash and a loud "knocking" sound similar to artillery fire that went in short bursts spaced increasingly wider apart. Eyewitnesses closer to the explosion reported the sound source moving during each barrage, east to north. The sounds were accompanied by a shock wave that knocked people off their feet and broke windows hundreds of miles away. The majority of eyewitnesses reported only the sounds and the tremors, and not the sighting of the explosion. Eyewitness accounts differ as to the sequence of events and their overall duration..."

That event has always fascinated me, ever since I read of it decades ago. Apparently it was many years before trained scientists could actually reach the site to conduct a full study. One conclusion was that a nuclear explosion of some sort had taken place.
I guess, like so much else about this world, we'll never really know for sure.

I couldn't view the video since my speakers just died but I have read a book about him. He invented AC that powers all countries and gave the patent away to a friend. He has done things with electricity on stage that engineers today are unable to duplicate. He was an amazing genius.
The other side of the coin is he was an obsessive compulsive. That made him a really eccentric person. It is thought that he caused an explosion in Siberia from his laboratory in the US. His documents disappeared into government hands when he died. They have yet to see the light of day.

The video is a good summary of marvelous facts about Tesla. It does not delve into some of the more speculative aspects of Tesla.
One weirder story is about the involvement of Tesla and Einstein in the "Philadelphia Experiment" which dealt with experiments involving electro-magnatism, invisibality, time-travel, alternate diminsions, and a breach of the time/space continuum. Old newspaper articles from the Philadelphia told of how the USS ELDRIDGE and crew members disappeared and then re-appeared sometime later. Too weird!
Just a couple of summarys:

It's "shocking" how "enlightened" this guy was for his time. IF unlimited electricity could have gotten off the ground, rather than what we have now, we could create enough "H" to run our cars, with H2O as "pollution". But, there was no money in free electricity. Being so the case, I wonder how many other Teslas are being ignored in our time because of greed? Well, he is still a man to create things for us. We have sci-fi stories and the fact that OCD can strike even someone brilliant, thanks to him.

He was shocking Mutainia. I think he may have been more "enlightened" that a lot of our best of today, even.
No telling what all that classified material is about. A lot of his notes were also in his head.
IF Westinghouse had proceeded with the energy project NT wanted to do in Colorado Springs instead of nixing because of the money factor, and what if all of our energy today was free. Where WOULD we be today? Interesting to wonder about...

Nikola Tesla has always been one of my heroes. I've written book reports about him when I was a kid in school and read I've read several books about his life as a scientist. As you said he was responsble for many of our modern innovations, some we take for granite and others that have not been fully developed yet. If he had been as good a businessman as he was a scientist there is no telling how different our lives would be. Thanks for the story CactusAnnie

Wow!!! This guy was so far ahead of his time its unreal. Free electricity for the world. Yeah!! Like the dirt bags who controlled the electric company would allow that. Hmmm? Sounds like he might have had some of the answers we are seeking today.
Thanks Cactus Annie great post. Thanks for the heads up as well.

You're welcome Cowboy! I'm really glad you liked it! Yeah, they didn't allow the free electric to go through, but it was a nice dream, while Tesla was dreaming it...

Agreed, cbg. I found it so sad that in the early stages of his incredible career, Tesla was touted as the perfect example of the American dream.
His life certainly did not end that way.

Hi tkyrchncs, that is the way I got hooked on him, a little at a time. It used to be very hard to find out anything beyond a bit here and a bit there. The internet helps a lot! When I found this video, it seemed to pull together a lot of the highlights. I'm glad you liked it!

Enjoyed reading all the posts. Tesla was a genius who was largely misunderstood. He really wanted everyone to benifit from his discoveries but the powers that be saw to it that that did not happen. The all mighty dollar won again. About 25 years ago I was a member of a group who studied weird science. We took almost a year studying Tesla. There are quite a few books out there plus dozens of newspaper articles, the previously mentioned documentary and a movie that I unfortunately can not remeber the name of. This poor man was ridiculed and hounded all his life. I do believe that he was inspired by something (God?) not of this world. Sadly the world was not ready for such genius and who knows if we ever will be with all the greed and secrecy we have in our government today. As has been mentioned before, how many other Teslas are beeing silenced today.

Great questions River! I have probably read some of the same books about him you have, (though none of them from the same library). He is definitely a fascinating biography, with more left secret than told.
One area I would like to learn more about are the flashes of light that he had in his brain. What is that all about?

The synchronicity is amazing... Just two days ago I was watching the PBS presentation on Tesla, which I had taped and brought with me when I moved from the USA to India to pursue the path of Enlightenment. The sun, our source of life and energy, is the source of all electricity or prana, even within our bodies... The outer material world has advanced far ahead of the conscious awareness of most people, as far as the inner invisible world is concerned. It is the same energy which gives we humans life and light within, which Tesla was so obsessed with in the outer. His mystic experiences indicated that he straddled the gates of infinity, choosing to apply his awareness for the good of mankind in the material world.
It is time for us to create a balance of the inner and outer energies. It is time for us to engage in inner experiments on the life force within us, with as much interest and enthusiasm as Tesla exemplified. The Master Nithyananda is forging a path, and leading the way.

Hi Aliveinlight! What a "coincidence" that you would mention that: "...The synchronicity is amazing... " ;D
I have been going down the coincident road for the last few weeks myself. Been going "OK now here's another one, right after the other one." Just like with your opening comment. I'm just watching and sailing along. And there is the poof, light, "Aliveinlight". Interesting and I just shake my head and grin.
Interesting comment, interesting timing, great to hear from you! (BTW, Jesus is my master.)

Interesting post, Aliveinlight. India is assuredly a magnificent country in which to pursue the path you have chosen. The balance of which you speak is indeed at the center of all things (yin and yang, further East); good fortune in your quest.

What a spell-binding video; and a great thread, CA.
The name Telsa was familiar to me, but his astonishing accomplishments came as a huge surprise. Clearly the man had a brain like few others -- his constant psychedelic experiences sound like a serotonin overload -- and immeasurable conceptual thinking power.
The overwhelming question I am left with is why on earth (no pun intended)is he so relatively unknown.
As the narration says: "It's time to bring his story out of the shadows and into the light" Your thread has helped considerably, in this process, CA.
Much appreciated.

Hi blinkers, good to see you again! Thanks for looking!
I have always wondered about the lack of information on this scientist. At least now days some information is more easily found. Still, I wonder why the need to shroud his obvious accomplishments, and what is still hidden?
Love your "unintended" pun, and what is all this light? ;D

Tesla's father was a priest of some sort working at the Vatican.His father passed on to him a lot of documents that are kept there in secrecy.I am talking about documents and books from prior centuries and civilizations.Stuff that you would never read or hear about in the everyday news.Its a given that Tesla was very smart and way ahead of his time.

Good observation Commodore!
I do know of a few groups around today working on similar low cost or free energy solutions. Just one, for example, being the group at Angel's Nest: http://www.angels-nest.org/
Government regulation is always a common obsticle for most "start-ups", along with existing entities trying to protect their own interests.
I also wonder about the "Birth of the Chaordic Age" (as Dee Hock describes)...

Hi Saneman: New sports car video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOl_1S10jTk
From wikapedia:
"..The Tesla electric car anecdote refers to a supposed invention of Nikola Tesla related by a Peter Savo to one Derek Ahers on Sept. 16, 1967. Savo claimed that Tesla took him to Buffalo, New York in 1931 and showed him the automobile, a modified Pierce Arrow. The stock engine had been removed and replaced with a brushless AC electric motor. The motor was said to have been powered by a "power receiver" consisting of a box measuring about 24" long by 10" wide by 6" high containing 12 radio tubes and connected to a 6-foot long antenna.
The car was said to have been driven for about 50 miles at speeds of up to 90 mph during an 8-day period. This story has received some debate for the fact that the car's propulsion system is said to have been invented by Tesla. No physical evidence has been produced confirming that the car ever existed..."

Just as this presentation is grossly exaggerated, many of Tesla's claims were likewise exaggerated. Why wasn't he able to accomplish his best ideas such as wireless transmission of power? Most likely these were only dreams with no basis in science. Had they been a possibility, he would have had no trouble finding backing. Furthermore what would have happened if they would have worked? People are afraid of the milliwatts that cellphones produce. What might be the effects if we had tried to transmit megawatts?
Tesla remains a scientist who had a lot of good ideas and a few bad ones. The fanatics here think that just because he had some good ideas his bad ones must have merit also.
They forget that Isaac Newton also experimented in alchemy and Johannes Kepler did work in astrology in addition to astronomy. Rational people don't assume that alchemy or astrology have merit just because some famous scientists believed in them.

What is with the "fanatics" and "rational people" terminology? You lose your whole point when you assume anyone who differs in opinion from you is irrational. I once had an old medical book from 1865 that used that same terminology to establish authority in presenting its "modern" science. It was promoting scientific facts like if a woman sees a snake when preggers, the baby will look like a snake, and young girls should be exposed to no studies after the age of 12 besides art and music, lest it damage them for life, and so on. Anyone who didn't buy into the argument was blind to the facts, and irrational.
Sorry, but that is what that attitude makes me see and the ones that use it often loose the whole point they are trying to make...

I suppose I should have used the shortened form of fanatic instead - fan. I'm sorry if I offended you by saying that rational people don't assume alchemy and astrology don't have merit. You are entitled to your beliefs.
An education in electrical engineering does give one a different perspective on these stories. At least it gives one the ability to discern the possible from the impossible and why.

Ah, that is fun Dionys! Good point!
"Being strictly geometric in its origin, the inverse square law applies to diverse phenomena. Point sources of gravitational force, electric field, light, sound or radiation obey the inverse square law.
It is a subject of continuing debate with a source such as a skunk on top of a flag pole; will it's smell drop off according to the inverse square law?" ;D
