“It seems that I have always been ahead of my time,” Serbian-American engineer and physicist Nikola Tesla once mused. While the eccentric inventor pioneered advances in radio, television, motors, robotics and electricity—including the alternating-current technology that’s widely used today—he also proposed more outlandish ideas. The following six futuristic visions of his have yet to come to fruition, either because of limitations of technology or market viability. 1. Earthquake Machine In 1893, Tesla patented a steam-powered mechanical oscillator that would vibrate up and down at high speeds to generate electricity. Years after patenting his invention he told reporters that one day while attempting to tune his mechanical oscillator to the vibration of the building housing his New York City laboratory, he caused the ground to shake. During the test, Tesla continuously turned up the power and heard cracking sounds. “Suddenly,” he recalled, “all the heavy machinery in the place was flyin...

Science and technology enthusiasts remember Nikola Tesla as one of the quintessential American inventors, blending brilliance and dedication with just a touch of crazy. Born in modern-day Croatia in 1856, he would later become a naturalized American citizen, and it was in America where he invented an induction motor based on alternating current and spearheaded the use of alternative current to electrify the world. While Nikola Tesla is a fond memory now, in 1899 he was an ambitious 43-year-old with a grandiose idea. To develop that idea, he left his bustling New York City home and headed west to Colorado. There, with $30,000 in cash from the prominent millionaire businessman John Jacob Astor (who would later famously perish on the Titanic), he set about creating "cold light" light bulbs – essentially forerunners of fluorescent bulbs -- to replace incandescents. Or that's what he told Aster, at least... In reality, Tesla thought he could transmit wireless electricity over ...

In 1899, Nikola Tesla did an interview with a journalist named John Smith, and the ideas expressed by Tesla in that interview were so revolutionary, that the contents of it were covered up and hidden away for over 100 years. During the interview, the scientist and inventor explained how “everything is light” and that the sun’s rays can unravel his visions for the future of humanity. Tesla was widely believed to have invented ways to provide the whole world with a free and unlimited energy source, but his inventions were covered up by corporations due to greed and profit made from burning fossil fuels for power. UTGL reports: Part of this interview is dedicated to Tesla’s critics on Einstein’s theory of relativity that discards the ether as energy. I have proved in the new Theory of the Universal Law why Einstein’s theory of relativity is entirely wrong and why there is no vacuum (void), and that everything is energy. Thus I confirm Tesla’s ideas as expressed in this interview: Journali...
