"Belgrade -.. The Museum of Nikola Tesla Tesla's thoughts on communism Max Planck, Niels Bohr, Lee de Forest, V. X-ray and others about the importance of work N. Tesla." Tesla's name should not be forgotten. "

In Belgrade, in the street Proletarian brigades, 51, is placed in a family house the National Museum of Nikola Tesla. The entire first floor is occupied by his great exposition made working models of instruments and apparatus, invented by Nikola Tesla, the materials telling about his life and work, various documents describing the work of the scientist.

The top floor contains the manuscripts of Nikola Tesla, his notebooks, letters to him, books from his personal library and other materials carefully studied a small team of scientists.

How much more of an unknown, new, extraordinary fraught with these precious for mankind sheets written by hand amazing man! Only with time, studying a huge legacy that we can fully appreciate the remarkable work of one of the most outstanding and original scientists of our time.

But without waiting for the results of this study, we will try to assess the value of creativity Nikola Tesla on the materials with which we met in the previous chapters, and, more importantly, to understand what prevented him to fully implement his plans, ideas and intentions. What is the cause of his constant "agony of failure", only occasionally replaced by "the bliss of success"? Were it only the fault of external causes, lack of funds, lack of understanding of the financial community its outstanding designs and engineering projects, or in his work was something that made it impossible to implement the wildest dreams?

Tesla was the amazing scientist who not only solved the fundamental problem of the use of alternating current for the needs of the power industry, but immediately realized the great importance in the development of human society will have their broad and comprehensive application. Almost instantly, he gripped his mind's eye all the variety of possible applications of high frequency currents, which is now exhausted. Tesla wanted to immediately transfer all practical side of life on the basis of their findings. In his later years, Tesla often said that he, apparently, is really too early to require people understand its projects and imagining their importance for the development of science and technology, did not represent the conditions under which they could get full development. Taking stock of the results of its work in the field of power transmission without wires, he said: - I think I really went too far in advance. Without it, you can still do as long as my polyphase system meets the needs of the world. But in the case when the need arises, the electricity transmission system without wires is ready.

Undoubtedly, the social system, with its contradictions, its corrupting influence on the representatives of intellectual labor has not given the possibility to properly use mastermind of Nikola Tesla, send it to the solution of actual problems of his time. Most of his life he conducted in their laboratories filled with complex and almost always constructed his own instruments. But despite the vast area of ​​his research, extraordinary ideas, he always had very few assistants. A small staff of assistants has been selected with great care, since Tesla filed for its employees unusually high demands. A brilliant designer and engineer clearly imagines mind all the details of the designed device and all of the physical picture of the experiment, he claimed, and other such shrewdness and speed considerations, which had a few.

Giving the job, Tesla called artist and charted in the middle of a sheet of paper a little sketch, in any case, not more than a few centimeters in each dimension. All dimensions he called verbally and then destroyed the drawing and demanded precise assignment. With a colossal memory, he believed that other are endowed with the same abilities. Reporting only the minimum amount of initial data, Tesla claimed that everything else was measured assistants themselves.

Tesla's alienation from his employees was his characteristic feature. Being a very sociable and lively conversationalist, Tesla had many friends and had almost no enemies. But at the same time, having lots of good ideas, he never found it necessary to share them with your colleagues.

Tesla did not leave behind a scientific school, as he had no pupils. His staff though and became under his leadership wonderful experimenters, but did not take any of his ideas, nor his ability to witty solving tasks. Entirely relying on his excellent memory, Tesla did not write many of his highly original ideas, proof of which can be expected in the subsequent development of science. These thoughts were only hints made them his friends - Sweezy, O'Neill and others, but in the form of incomplete and uncertain. Name Nikola Tesla attracted the incorruptible honesty, unbending will, noble aspirations.

Brilliant, light lectures Tesla awakened in many the dream of daring research. Renowned physicist Lee De Forest, inventor of the three-electrode radio tubes, in a letter to Tesla admitted to the enormous influence that the it had: "You, more than anyone else worried about my youthful imagination, buoyed my feelings inventor and generally served as an outstanding example of brilliant achievements in the field of science in which I wanted to go. "

But not only is the impact on the many scientists, inspiring example, but most of Tesla's scientific achievements are universally recognized. They were noted both by its life and death. We already know about the award of such scientific awards, like the Nobel Prize medal and Edison. Many universities have awarded him the degree of Doctor of Science. Surviving letters to him such outstanding figures of physics and electrical engineering, as W. Crookes, Lord Kelvin, Planck, W. Roentgen, Rutherford, JJ Thomson, B. Bersnd, Lee de Forest, and many others, show more scientific credibility of Nikola Tesla.

Lord. Calvin wrote of him: "Tesla has invested in the development of electrical engineering more than anyone else." William Crookes, whose name is pronounced with trepidation a young man Nikola Tesla, wrote to him: "You - a true prophet." Rutherford highly appreciated achievements of Tesla and often thought about them: "I am well aware that Tesla made in various fields of technology in their research, I often used the Tesla transformer as a means to obtain high voltage.".

Already mentioned our outstanding American radio technician winner of the Nobel Prize Armstrong wrote: "... I think the world will have a long wait for the genius who could become a rival of Nikola Tesla in his accomplishments and his inspiration."

Characterized as a review of the significance of the work of Nikola Tesla is one of the largest French electricians - Professor Blondel, referring to 1936:

"In spite of the evolution, which were subjected to the energy transfer of the means of multiphase currents and high-frequency currents, posterity will never forget that the creation of these two remarkable varieties of practical electrical belongs, without reservations, Nikola Tesla".

Chairman of the International Electrotechnical Commission, Professor Danshig read out the decision of the Commission adopted on 27 July 1956 at a meeting in Munich on assignment unit of magnetic induction in the system ICA name "tesla", "International Electrotechnical Commission is happy to be a deep sense of respect and admiration for the works of Nikola Tesla, from major works which heavily depends on the work of the commission itself, Noting the general agreement on the assignment of the international unit of magnetic induction of the name "tesla".

- Naming of Nikola Tesla important and frequently used in the electrical unit is the greatest expression of international recognition of the works of Tesla, just as in the past, this recognition was reflected in relation to such giants of electrical engineering as Ampere, Volta, Faraday, Ohm, Maxwell Watts Hertz and others - said on behalf of the Commission, professor Danshig.

Such is the life of one of those great men, whose names are not made by mankind in oblivion, who appreciate all who serve their genius bright and joyful purposes of labor and creativity.
