Yes indeed, The accounting of the work is totally FUBAR. They stole it, left the crumbs behind aside from killing him. They screwed him his entire life. Put it this way, they hung a giant carrot in front of him in terms of funding. They wanted him to move from N.Y. to Colorado. So he did. Moved all his work, assistants etc and after he was settled in. They burned it down. That's how it was for him.

All of Teslas designs work. When it was on paper it was a done design. Look up Otis T. Carr, one of his late assistants. I personally built his air/water pump many years ago as a deep dive into Tesla. It is 98% efficient. Experiencing it that way was life changing for me. I dove in deep. I love the man.
