James P. Rybak (November 1999). "Nikola Tesla: Scientific Savant from the Tesla Universe Article Collection". Popular Electronics: 40–48 & 88. Perhaps the greatest ambition of Tesla was his dream to wirelessly transmit energy across long distances, using only air as a medium. He demonstrated it was possible to wirelessly light up lamps using a method called inductive coupling, but he wasn't successful in building a long-range system to broadcast energy. I’m dying to do super efficient, quiet home HVAC with HEPA & water distillation. It’s weird, but I really want to do it.

In 1893, Edward Dean Adams, who headed the Niagara Falls Cataract Construction Company, sought Tesla's opinion on what system would be best to transmit power generated at the falls. Over several years, there had been a series of proposals and open competitions on how best to do it. Among the systems proposed by several US and European companies were two-phase and three-phase AC, high-voltage DC, and compressed air. Adams asked Tesla for information about the current state of all the competing systems. Tesla advised Adams that a two-phased system would be the most reliable and that there was a Westinghouse system to light incandescent bulbs using two-phase alternating current. The company awarded a contract to Westinghouse Electric for building a two-phase AC generating system at the Niagara Falls, based on Tesla's advice and Westinghouse's demonstration at the Columbian Exposition. At the same time, a further contract was awarded to General Electric to build the AC distribution system. [124] The Nikola Tesla Company By the beginning of 1893, Westinghouse engineer Charles F. Scott and then Benjamin G. Lamme had made progress on an efficient version of Tesla's induction motor. Lamme found a way to make the polyphase system it would need compatible with older single-phase AC and DC systems by developing a rotary converter. [110] Westinghouse Electric now had a way to provide electricity to all potential customers and started branding their polyphase AC system as the "Tesla Polyphase System". They believed that Tesla's patents gave them patent priority over other polyphase AC systems. [111] Tesla was raised an Orthodox Christian. Later in life he did not consider himself to be a "believer in the orthodox sense", said he opposed religious fanaticism, and said "Buddhism and Christianity are the greatest religions both in number of disciples and in importance." [277] He also said "To me, the universe is simply a great machine which never came into being and never will end" and "what we call 'soul' or 'spirit,' is nothing more than the sum of the functionings of the body. When this functioning ceases, the 'soul' or the 'spirit' ceases likewise." [277] Literary works Westinghouse hired Tesla, licensed the patents for his AC motor and gave him his own lab. In 1890 Edison arranged for a convicted New York murderer to be put to death in an AC-powered electric chair—a stunt designed to show how dangerous the Westinghouse standard could be.He enrolled at the Imperial-Royal Technical College in Graz in 1875 on a Military Frontier scholarship. In his autobiography Tesla said he worked hard and earned the highest grades possible, passed nine exams [23] [ bettersourceneeded] (nearly twice as many as required [32]) and received a letter of commendation from the dean of the technical faculty to his father, which stated, "Your son is a star of first rank." [32] At Graz, Tesla noted his fascination with the detailed lectures on electricity presented by Professor Jakob Pöschl and described how he made suggestions on improving the design of an electric motor the professor was demonstrating. [23] [ bettersourceneeded] [33] But by his third year he was failing in school and never graduated, leaving Graz in December 1878. One biographer suggests Tesla wasn't studying and may have been expelled for gambling and womanizing. [31] Tesla aged 23, c. 1879 Bertuca, David J.; Hartman, Donald K. & Neumeister, Susan M. (1996). The World's Columbian Exposition: A Centennial Bibliographic Guide. Bloomsbury Academic. pp.xxi. ISBN 978-0-313-26644-7 . Retrieved 10 September 2012. Tesla claimed never to sleep more than two hours per night. [258] However, he did admit to "dozing" from time to time "to recharge his batteries". [259] During his second year of study at Graz, Tesla developed a passionate proficiency for billiards, chess, and card-playing, sometimes spending more than 48 hours in a stretch at a games table. [260] On one occasion at his laboratory, Tesla worked for a period of 84 hours without rest. [261] Kenneth Swezey, a journalist whom Tesla had befriended, confirmed that Tesla rarely slept. Swezey recalled one morning when Tesla called him at 3 a.m.: "I was sleeping in my room like one dead... Suddenly, the telephone ring awakened me... [Tesla] spoke animatedly, with pauses, [as he]... work[ed] out a problem, comparing one theory to another, commenting; and when he felt he had arrived at the solution, he suddenly closed the telephone." [259] Work and dining habits

In January 1880, two of Tesla's uncles put together enough money to help him leave Gospić for Prague, where he was to study. He arrived too late to enroll at Charles-Ferdinand University; he had never studied Greek, a required subject; and he was illiterate in Czech, another required subject. Tesla did, however, attend lectures in philosophy at the university as an auditor but he did not receive grades for the courses. [37] [38] Working at Budapest Telephone Exchange Crown Prince Alexander continued: “During the official visit to the United States of America, when he was working on getting the support for the righteous fight of heroic men and women, led by General Dragoljub Mihailović, against Nazism in Yugoslavia, my father met with a lot of important people, including the President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt. But it was the meeting with Tesla that left a strong impression on King Peter II, especially when this great man said to him:’…I am sure you will be a great ruler.’ And my father always dearly remembered how true and a great patriot Tesla was. How he said to him that he is ‘proud to be Serb and Yugoslav’.”

Light Show Control

I have been feeding pigeons, thousands of them for years. But there was one, a beautiful bird, pure white with light grey tips on its wings; that one was different. It was a female. I had only to wish and call her and she would come flying to me. I loved that pigeon as a man loves a woman, and she loved me. As long as I had her, there was a purpose to my life. [208] For the five-part HISTORY series The Tesla Files, Seifer joined forces with Dr. Travis Taylor, an astrophysicist, and Jason Stapleton, an investigative reporter, to search for these missing files and seek out the truth of the government’s views on the “Death Ray” particle-beam weapon and Tesla’s other ideas. Tesla lived at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City from 1900 and ran up a large bill. [203] He moved to the St. Regis Hotel in 1922 and followed a pattern from then on of moving to a different hotel every few years and leaving unpaid bills behind. [204] [205] There, he conducted experiments with a large coil operating in the megavolts range, producing artificial lightning (and thunder) consisting of millions of volts and discharges of up to 135 feet (41m) in length, [155] and, at one point, inadvertently burned out the generator in El Paso, causing a power outage. [156] The observations he made of the electronic noise of lightning strikes led him to (incorrectly) conclude [157] [158] that he could use the entire globe of the Earth to conduct electrical energy. From the 1890s through 1906, Tesla spent a great deal of his time and fortune on a series of projects trying to develop the transmission of electrical power without wires. It was an expansion of his idea of using coils to transmit power that he had been demonstrating in wireless lighting. He saw this as not only a way to transmit large amounts of power around the world but also, as he had pointed out in his earlier lectures, a way to transmit worldwide communications.
