REMEMBERING NIKOLA TESLA, ON THE 78TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DAY HE LEFT US

(Excerpt of Tesla’s obituary from the New York Times: January 9, 1943)

“If ever an inventor satisfied the romantic requirements of a Jules Verne novel it was Nikola Tesla. Communicating with Mars, plucking heat units out of the atmosphere to run engines, using the whole earth as an electrical resonator...transmitting power through space–it was to such possibilities that he devoted the last forty years of his long life.

He was… a first-class mathematician and physicist whose blueprints were plausible, even though they were far ahead of the technical resources of his day. He belongs to the passing age of heroic invention –
the age of technical poets who expressed themselves in generators, inductance coils and high-voltages rather than in drama and verse and were the real architects of this culture”
