Thanks for sharing. I've read a lot about Tesla. He was quite a remarkable inventor.

I remember this story too of how Tesla got JP Morgan to invest in this venture. Morgan thought it had something to do with radio communication. However, Tesla decided to extend it to do wireless power transmission and JP Morgan refused to fund it further.
