GREAT MUSEUM! Why no U.S. TESLA MUSEUM? MAYBE SHOREHAM,LONG ISLAND,(WARDENCYLLFE, L.I. WHERE TESLA HAD HIS EXPERAIMENTAL WIRELESS TRANSMISSION TOWER!EdsonAndreisme (talk) 17:04, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's a Tesla Museum in Coloraod Springs, I know. I'll look into an article. 204.69.139.16 (talk) 20:36, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Tesla Historians - I have twice added certain important facts to the history section of this article ; someone completely censored my writing. For sure, the facts might be hard to hear for ultra-nationalists, but they are true, and submitted in good faith.

It is hoped that in the interest of preserving and spreading the true history of Nikola Tesla that wikipedians be aware that there is a faction that is dedicated to propagating old Yugoslavian myths about Tesla, politics, etc - and to talk very little about the real facts, location of his papers, and above all that Tesla was a scientist and American first and foremost - and that religious orthodoxy, and socialistic politics were repulsive to him. It is to be remembered that he chose NOT to be a priest and chose NOT to serve in the Serbian army(he dodged the draft and spent a few months wandering in the woods near Plitvice in Croatia)... Later in his life, approx 1890's, a political Serbian delegation wrote to congratulate him on his discoveries - he replied by saying, paraphrased "I am happy to accept congratulations, but not as a soldier or a religious agent, which are destructive forces, but as a scientist". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.1.31.39 (talk) 16:51, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to wikify (link) and clean up this article. I also tried to tone down the praise of Tesla and his inventions without taking anything away from his accomplishments, see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. This article needs citations, lots of citations.

In addition, I know that there are some people and some websites that claim Tesla's dream of wireless power using the Earth as a conductor is a viable means of transporting large amounts of electricity over large distances, and that there is a conspiracy keeping it from being employed, or that his papers detailing how to do it were lost or stolen. It might be possible to transmit a moderate amount of power over small to medium distances with microwaves or lasers, but Tesla's method of using the Earth itself to transmit power is not viable. Please do not add material making such claims to this article or any other article on Tesla, until such time that they gain consensus among the scientific community.
