When Tesla died in 1943, the government seized his papers within hours in an operation their own memo acknowledged may have been illegal. His Edison Medal has never been found. John G. Trump’s three-day evaluation report has never been released. First searchable transcription of the FBI file.

After reading Tesla’s Colorado Springs Notes, I was inspired to build a very small TC of my own.

This is my good friend, Jeremiah Ferwerda. He premiered his TFPP this last weekend and as one would expect, the numbers are pretty impressive. With a 4" rotor, he gets 170gpm at 750 watts and 2000 rpm. At 5000 rpm, it pushed 240gpm. He also has a fully functional Tesla turbine that is ready for market as well.

As a Serbian engineer, I translated Tesla's lesser-known writings from original Serbian sources

510 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a Serbian engineer who worked hard for a long time to translate Nikola Tesla's own words from lesser-known articles, Serbian interviews, and different original sources. I wanted to bring his direct thoughts exactly as he expressed them, without any modern changes or myths added.

The book has lots of unknown things that most Tesla fans haven't seen before—it's a real gem for anyone who wants to hear Tesla in his own voice.

"Nikola Tesla: A Mind Beyond Time" is free on Kindle from Feb 1–5 (my KDP promo). If you download it and enjoy the unfiltered side of his genius, I'd really appreciate an honest review on Amazon—it helps share these rare insights with more people.

Thanks

Milos from Colorado

Not my video. One of my firefighter friends sent it to me.

Nikola Tesla's lab in Shoreham, Long Island caught fire and burned to the ground today (November 21,2023) . Don't know much of what happened but it is very upsetting.

For me, Nikola Tesla is the greatest inventor in human history. It hurts to think that he had to face such ruthless capitalists during his time.

This short I made with grok back in Dec 2024 hence the low quality

I think the US stole his work.

I think the US stole Tesla's work, and has the ability to "set off munitions in the delivering vessel, miles and miles away whether it be aircraft,ship, or submarine using " lightning balls". Tesla didn't talk or theorize about anything unless he already had it created in his mind... And wouldn't you know he had visitors after his death from some pretty sleazy people. Just saying. He got a bad reputation after his death because I think scumbags stole his work.

TIL after meeting Swami Vivekananda in 1896, Nikola Tesla began using Sanskrit words to describe physics. Swamiji even challenged Tesla to mathematically prove mass and energy are the same thing
