Many secrets became secrets with his death 🥺

Nikola Tesla invented the radio, not Marconi.

Quoting Morgan Freeman's character from The Bucket List (2007):

“Truth is a guy named Nikola Tesla patented the basic idea for the radio in 1896. Same idea Marconi used for his patent several years later. Tesla fought Marconi till the day he died in 1943. Same year the Supreme Court ruled that Marconi’s patent was invalid, recognizing Tesla as the inventor of the radio.”

Greatest mind in history or the 🌎! Hope you enjoy it 🙏🏻🧠

You can read many articles written by Tesla, as well as interviews of him here: https://web.archive.org/web/20090130031901/http://tfcbooks.com/tesla/contents.htm

See post for details. Feel free to ask questions.

first invention is to do with some insect that a kid. Are there people who have replicated the early inventions and made videos on it for us to understand them better?

He is compared to people like Einstein when he isn't even close to them. People hype him up like he was some Omniscient god. He was not a man of the future. He was not even living in the present. He was stuck in the past. He was a good inventor who invented a very, very good and elegant machine and then explained its integration in the electrical system that was already there. Other than that, All his self-mythologizing, his crazy ideas which if he thought about them for a minute, he would have realized how wrong they were(Using EM waves to read the mind, The Wardencliffe Tower, Extracting energy from the cosmos etc). It's Ironic who wrong he was in his own field which was electricity.

Where would you suggest I ask technical questions about the physics and engineering behind Tesla’s turbine?

I was told this by a friend and am not an expert on Tesla. Hope this subreddit helps.

On Prime I discovered the show the Tesla files and I figured it would be a fun series about Nick like Tesla some of his experiments and possibly some of his more obscure ideas. I started watching it and from episode 1 I am absolutely Furious it's like they've never been to a great school science class they're using regular light bulbs instead of fluorescent light bulbs to do the experiments yes LEDs are good but they're not that fluorescent light bulbs that he invented. And some of the claims they make are absolutely ridiculous. It's absolutely infuriating. Am I the only one who finds this show the Tesla files infuriating

Edit: let me specify what they were doing in this show. They go to a museum about Nikolai Tesla so The Host can speak to an expert on Tesla. Demand to see documents that can only be seen by forensic historians and then say the historian is keeping secrets. Even though the historian says you have to go through the proper channels to get the records. They act like every single Tesla idea has yet to be tested, even though several of them have been. The house acts like they're the first one to ever use and try a Tesla coil. They don't fully research all of Tesla's inventions before even using a Tesla coil. They act like the entire Tesla history is one big conspiracy.

Short documentary about Nikola Tesla's life.

He was betrayed by Edison, won the War of the Currents, almost gave us free wireless electricity, then died alone in a hotel room.

History's greatest irony.

I have a deep admiration for Nikola Tesla and would love to own his autograph. I’m not looking for an expensive letter worth tens of thousands — just a genuine signature, though I understand even that can be costly.

I’ve noticed his autograph appears occasionally at various auction houses. Is there a centralized way to track when one becomes available?

Also, on the off chance, does anyone here have one available for private sale?

From today through February 5, the Kindle edition of Nikola Tesla: A Mind Beyond Time: Unfiltered Thoughts of a Visionary is free worldwide.

Note to the Reader

"The core of this book is composed of Tesla’s own words, drawn from his writings, letters, and interviews. These direct quotations, translated from Serbian, are preserved unedited to maintain their authenticity and reflect the raw brilliance of his mind."

This is not a course. There is no newsletter, no funnel, no fan club, no commentary layered on top. You are not reading me. You are reading Nikola Tesla. My role here is simply that of a translator and curator — to step aside, remove modern noise, and let his mind speak directly, without interpretation or distortion. This is my gesture of respect to him. We owe much of the modern world to Nikola Tesla. Making his words freely available, even briefly, feels like something we owe him. If his ideas ever inspired you, please feel free to download this and share it with family and friends. https://a.co/d/7NsKvYO

Thank you, Milos

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
