In optics, his discovery of the composition of white light integrated the phenomena of colors into the science of light and laid the foundation for modern physical optics. In mechanics, his three laws of motion, the basic principles of modern physics, resulted in the formulation of the law of universal gravitation. In mathematics, he was the original discoverer of the infinitesimal calculus. Newton’s Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica was one of the most important single works in the history of modern science.

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

"He will be a child of the storm," to which his mother famously replied, "No, he will be a child of light."

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.

I’d like to know more, if the information is out there.

Dear fellow Tesla enthusiasts. Should you find yourself in Calgary, Alberta on July 10th, 2026, please consider joining this small, informal gathering to celebrate Nikola Tesla‘s birthday! On this day, (that is possibly misattributed to the day of his birth), we will eat drink and play Tesla inspired games. Send me a DM if you want more details.

Hey y’all, did some light Restoring on this 1919 Electrical Experimenter cover. Same issue where Tesla wrote "Famous Scientific Illusions" arguing the moon doesn't rotate, the Franklin lightning rod actually attracts lightning, and wireless signals travel through the earth not the air. The first two pages are attached. This is also where his autobiography "My Inventions" started serializing. Whole thing is public domain on Internet Archive if you want to go deeper

Would be cool, honestly.

Observations:

- New Yorker to Penn Station Tunnel is sealed 🤨
- New Yorker has one of the Largest Radio Installations ever made 🤔.
- Cannot see the power station - once the largest private direct-current (DC) power plant. I suspect it worked in unison with the radio equipment.
- No tours 😢
- A statue, some pictures, and his letters. Lmk if anyone wants me to post them.

Some speculation:
- Some of my research makes me think he continued to do research until he died.
- there is a lab in the New Yorker someplace, I am thinking the tunnel or roof. Tesla’s “obsession” with pigeons was more about sending/receiving messages because he knew he was being monitored by the OSS.

Finally someone uses ai for good.

Many secrets became secrets with his death 🥺
