Nikola Tesla: Scientist. Engineer. Visionary — Part XVII: The Master of (Ball) Lightning
Return to High-Voltage Experiments After the financial collapse of the Wardenclyffe Tower, Nikola Tesla returned to laboratory work. There, in nights filled with ozone and bluish sparks, he encountered a phenomenon that still amazes physicists today — stable ball lightning. Unlike modern experiments, where plasmoids last only fractions of a second, Tesla claimed he could…

Nikola Tesla. Scientist. Engineer. Visionary — Part XV: Tesla and Religion – Between Tradition and Visionary Thought
Nikola Tesla was born into a family deeply rooted in the Orthodox Christian faith. His father, Milutin Tesla, was a priest in the Serbian Orthodox Church, while his mother, Georgina (Đuka), came from a family with a strong religious heritage. Yet, although raised in the spirit of Christian tradition, Tesla did not become a priest—he…

Title: Nikola Tesla: Scientist. Engineer. Visionary — Part XIV: Tesla’s Developmental Journey from Physics to Metaphysics
Introduction: Tesla — More Than a GeniusThe life of Nikola Tesla reflects not only the technical advances of an era, but also a deeper process of inner transformation. His path — from strict rationalism to openness toward the idea of universal consciousness — illuminates a universal question: is the ultimate goal of science to understand…

Nikola Tesla: Scientist. Engineer. Visionary. — Part XI: Teleautomatics – The Precursor to Robots and Drones
Since 1893, Nikola Tesla had been developing technologies based on wireless transmission of energy and signals. These works marked a turning point not only in the evolution of radio technology, but also in the early development of automation and robotics. His pioneering solutions for eliminating noise and interference in radio signal transmission made wireless communication…

Nikola Tesla: Scientist. Engineer. Visionary. — Part X: Resonance Phenomena and the Idea of Weather Control
In his autobiography My Inventions (1919), Nikola Tesla described a mysterious thunderstorm that inspired him to believe that time and atmospheric phenomena could be controlled using electrical impulses. His observations were revolutionary, yet controversial—some see them as the foundation of modern theories on geoengineering and projects like HAARP. Tesla and the “command signal” of thunderTesla…
