All devices at that timeoperated on direct current. Even Edison’s first power planton Manhattan,belonging to the powerful industrialist, could not be persuadedto take interestin inventions related topolyphase alternating currents.

In 1887,at the United States Patent Office,Tesla filed patents related toa complete system of generatorsand transformers of electric power. The industrialist George Westinghousepresented these patentsas commercial devicesand a system of polyphase currents, which Tesla demonstratedat the Chicago Expositionin 1893.
The Wardenclyffe Tower,sixty meters high,with a copper sphere — this giant transmitter,as Tesla explained,could turn the entire globeinto a vast dynamo, capable of transmitting energyto every pointon Earth.

We will obtain light directlyfrom the most economical processthat exists in nature. Look —lightning carries energywithout wires,air is the best conductor. Nothing is more fascinatingto study than nature itself. To understand that great mechanism,to discover the forces that work within itand the laws that govern it, is the most exalted taskof humankind. The most exalted

Tesla had eyesthat saw everything. He came into this worldfrom the core of cosmic straw, to bring us light. For only through itcan man come to knowhimself and the cosmos as a single, unified whole. In this way, Tesladefines andhumanizes the universe, showing through his sciencethat we are all fragmentsof the samecosmic whole.
