Manhattan Power Plant
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.

Years of Patient Work
After several yearsof patient work,he dedicated himselfto polyphase alternating currents. George Westinghouse,guided by business logic, purchased around fortyof Tesla’s patentsand decided to establisha new electrical systemthroughout America.

Patents of 1887
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
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.

Particles Faster Than Light
All my research pointsto the conclusion that they are small particles,each carrying such a tiny chargethat we may call them neutrons. They move at great speeds,surpassing eventhe speed of light. About neutrons —particles faster thanthe speed of light.

Energy Without Wires
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

The Fundamental Law of the Ether
The fundamental law of the ether —a law that structures the original,infinite, and complete ether. It concerns the individuationof parts within the infinite whole,a unified physical continuum. In today’s scientific terminology,there are several conceptsthat all describe the samephysical phenomenon: continuum, continuity, ether,infinity, wholeness, elastic being,Euclidean point, vacuum, etc. The parts of the continuum — the

One Great Game
Tesla: My discoveries and workswere nothing butone great game. I played — I played all my life, and I enjoyed it.Yes, that’s right. I loved to playwith electricity. We can multiplythe energy of the human race by masteringthe forces of the universe.
