Saru Posted April 22, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Tesla predicted a great many things about the future and much of it turned out to be spot on. In the 1930s journalists from publications like the New York Times and Time magazine would regularly visit Nikola Tesla at his home on the 20th floor of the Hotel Governor Clinton in Manhattan. There the elderly Tesla would regale them with stories of his early days as an inventor and often opined about what was in store for the future.

Ashotep Posted April 22, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Tesla was an intelligent man but I don't think coffee, tea and tobacco use will go away all together at least not for a very long time. We still spend more on war than education. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beany Posted April 22, 2013 #3 Share Posted April 22, 2013 He managed to light up a room without electricity, but died before telling anyone how he did it, nor did he leave any notes about it. He was a fascinating man. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted April 22, 2013 #4 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Tesla was something special, sadly didn't fit into our nasty system because he was too good for it.

shrooma Posted April 22, 2013 #7 Share Posted April 22, 2013 '' Often regarded as one of the foremost visionaries of his time, Tesla foresaw a future in which scientific advancement would take precedence in society over war and politics, natural food and clean air would be more greatly valued'' . bit of an epic fail there then huh.....? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiteMarcher Posted April 22, 2013 #11 Share Posted April 22, 2013 The powers that be during Tesla's days did not want anything they couldn't put a price on, so when it came to free energy...that flew out the door right away...yes, the world would have benefited from this visionaries inventions. Unfortunately, it is the elite and a few corporate giants that will continue to put stops to some of men's greatest inventions, all due to greed and power. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Unicorn Posted April 23, 2013 #14 Share Posted April 23, 2013 A true genius and visionary, he was the future! His life had a very sad ending. The world was just not ready for free energy because of corporate politics of greed. His projects were not embraced as well as they should have been and the conspiracy people back then accused him of the "death ray" and being an ally to the Germans and destroyed his "treasonous" energy transmission towers. He had many unpublished works that were put into a museums and in his home country under lock and key. Maybe in another hundred years they will come out and he will be appreciated for the visionary he was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think George Westinghouse funded a lot of his research, and the idea of free power didn't go over well with him. He was a business man, and needed to make a profit.

ancient astronaut Posted April 23, 2013 #18 Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Honestly, without his discovery of alternating current, our world might look a little different now.

Capt Amerika Posted April 23, 2013 #20 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Wouldnt it be awesome to get a hold of the notes and papers that the Government stole from him upon his death? Just imagine all of the technology that we still arent using just because of that theft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine all of the technology that we still arent using just because of that theft. Marconi even used Tesla's patented technology,17 patents to be precise when he transmitted that first message across the Atlantic and Marconi took all the glory.Tesla is truly the founder of most of the Technology we use today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Id3al Experience Posted April 23, 2013 #22 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Question? Why has no other person in teslas field created free power? Surely there are others that have the knowlegde in the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Unicorn Posted April 25, 2013 #23 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Question? Why has no other person in teslas field created free power? Surely there are others that have the knowlegde in the public. Tesla thought one method would be to build the energy transmitters on the moon and satelites to beam it back to earth, as well as having an energy fields for transmission surrounding the whole planet and fields from under ground. I think they used part of his theories in the HAAP experiments and other DOD research. I'd imagine anyone getting a hold on workable technology would keep it to themselves for obvious advantages. A good thing could very well be used to destroy the earth instead of being used for the "good energy" as he called it. That's when governments became paranoid and rumors of the death ray came to life. More profits and maintenance for using electric lines too.
