Nikola Tesla (July 10, 1856 – January 7, 1943)

1200+ patents, but for 272 he got patent rights out of USA

Money does not represent such a value as men have placed upon it. All my money has been invested into experiments with which I have made new discoveries enabling mankind to have a little easier life.

Let the future tell the truth and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine. "A Visit to Nikola Tesla" by Dragislav L. Petković in Politika (April 1927); also in Tesla, Master of Lightning (1999) by Margaret Cheney, Robert Uth, and Jim Glenn, p. 82

Single-wire transmission line - 1897

At 1897- Nikola Tesla demonstrated that by using an electrical network tuned to resonance and using, what at the time would be called, "high frequency AC" and today would be low frequency AC, only a single wire was necessary for power systems, with no need for a metal or Earth return conductor. Tesla called it the "transmission of electrical energy through one wire without return". Tesla stated in 1901:

"Some ten years ago, I recognized the fact that to convey electric currents to a distance it was not at all necessary to employ a return wire, but that any amount of energy might be transmitted by using a single wire. I illustrated this principle by numerous experiments, which, at that time, excited considerable attention among scientific men."

In the spring of 1891, Tesla gave demonstrations with various machines before the AIEE at Columbia College. His lecture exhibited this feature, the chief import exhibited that all kinds of devices could be operated through a single wire without a return conductor. The one-wire transmission system was protected in 1897 by U.S. Patent 0,593,138, "Electrical Transformer".

Tesla-Astor-Relations•In 1900, Tesla returned to New York City and formed a partnership with J. Pierpont Morgan. - Wardenclyffe•Morgan gave Tesla $150,000. In return, Tesla gave Morgan control over wireless patents but also he was forced to include his patents in lighting as well. •This event apparently angered Astor, as Tesla never really exploited his inventions in lighting, but rather used the money to undertake wireless experiments in Colorado Springs. •Astor wanted Tesla to sell fluorescent lights. •We know that fluorescent lights are much more efficient than Edison-based incandescent lamps. They are cold to the touch, use much less power and last for years, whereas Edison light bulbs give off a great amount of heat and break in a matter of months. •Fluorescent lights for homes and buildings would not

come to the market until the 1940’s. Most likely, this invention was suppressed for economic reasons.

He was unable to make any payments at all, and was forced to sign the deed over to Waldorf-Astoria, Inc., through a silent intermediary.

1916 – 935$

Even though Tesla had some minor successes, he continued to fall deeper and deeper into debt primarily due to his high overhead. He was called into the state supreme court for $935.00 in unpaid taxes on the Wardenclyffe property. Under oath before Justice Finch, Tesla revealed that he was essentially penniless and owned no real assets.

Tesla had many pigeons he fed and cared for, but one, he was particularly fond of. He described it as being a beautiful female bird, pure white with light gray tips on its wings. One night the bird flew into Tesla's room at Hotel St. Regis, and he perceived that she was attempting to tell him she was dying. Tesla said a light came from her eyes more intense than he had ever produced by the most powerful lamps in his laboratory. The bird then died and Tesla said that at that same

moment, something went out of his life and he knew his life's work was finished.

Katharine McMahon Johnson was, according to some accounts, the only woman Tesla ever loved. She was the wife of Tesla's lifelong friend, Robert Underwood Johnson. Though the two often exchanged flirtatious letters, their relationship was totally platonic. Not forgetting Tesla even at death, she charged Robert to keep in close touch with him always.

Morgan refused Tesla's request; however, the Western Illuminati did not secretly pursue Tesla's concepts because their scientists considered Tesla's research in this area as "junk science".•But, Tesla then took action which allowed the Russians to gain access to this unbelievable sphere of science.

1943 -Supreme Court granted full Rights to Tesla for the Invention of Radio,

nullifying the Claims of Guilermo Marconi

June 21, 1943 - the Supreme Court granted full rights to Tesla for the invention of radio, nullifying the claims of Marchese Guilermo Marconi who had patented a two-tuned-circuit design and a more practical four-tuned-circuit modeled after Tesla's. Marconi's patent on the invention of radio was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court because Tesla's work predated it (Case #369, 6/21/43). Marconi did succeed in beating Tesla as the first person to send a wireless telegraph across the Atlantic, which prompted Tesla to remark, "Let him continue. He is using 17 of my patents." In addition, Tesla's 1903 patents 723,188 and 725,605 contain the basic principles of the logical AND circuit element basic to all computers.

1945 – Project “Nick”• Copies of Tesla's papers on particle

beam weaponry were sent to

Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. An operation code-

named "Project Nick" was heavily funded and placed under the command of Brigadier General L. C. Craigie to test the feasibility of Tesla's concept. Details of the experiments were never published, and the project was apparently discontinued. But something peculiar happened. The copies of Tesla's papers disappeared, and no one knows what happened to them.
