The Museum of Nikola Tesla, A Walkthrough - Part 2

in #steemit8 years ago

It is impossible to add all the interesting things and inventions of Nikola Tesla in one post, so here our journey through the museum continues. I hope that i will be able to transfer all the positive energy to all Steemians who can not visit this exhibition in person.

Colorado Springs Laboratory - the Tesla’s Experimental Station


Tesla said, in "On electricity", Electrical Review (Jan. 27, 1897):

"In fact, progress in this field has given me fresh hope that I shall see the fulfilment of one of my fondest dreams; namely, the transmission of power from station to station without the employment of any connecting wires."


Built in 1899, the lab possessed the largest Tesla’s Coil ever built  - 15 meters in diameter. This coil reproduced the effects of lightning and its accompanying thunder for the first time in history. (double exposure image.)  more here

Great danger! Keep out!” sign on the entrance to the lab with Tesla standing behind the open door.

The Nikola Tesla Museum published the “Colorado Springs Notes, 1899–1900”  to mark the 120th anniversary of Tesla's birth. Tesla's notes at the Colorado Springs experimental station were unpublished until the release of this book back in 1978.
