Reviews
In 1895 Tesla's New York lab burned, destroying years' worth of notes and equipment. Tesla relocated to Colorado Springs for two years, returning to New York in 1900. He secured backing from financier J.P. Morgan and began building a global communications network centered on a giant tower.
Author Information
Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was a Serbian-American engineer and physicist who made dozens of breakthroughs in the production, transmission and application of electric power. He invented the first alternating current (AC) motor and developed AC generation and transmission technology. Tesla was famous and respected, but he was never able to translate his copious inventions into long-term financial success¯unlike his chief rival and early employer, Thomas Edison.
