speech by an outstanding scientist or sermons of a priest located at a great distance. In the same way, any picture, sign, drawing or text can be transmitted," Tesla said.

      With the help of his project, he wants not only to transmit energy across the planet without wires, but with the help of this system, he intends to cause rains in the desert, illuminate the sky over sea routes, power cars and airplanes, and even carry out interplanetary communications. Of course, such a project required a much larger scope than Morgan singled out, but this does not bother him, and he creates on the island of Long Island, 60 meters from New York, he creates the first tower by the name of the Wardencliff locality. With the unfinished tower, he begins fantastic experiments. In the summer of 1903, the tower on Long Island almost drives New Yorkers crazy, giant artificial lightning bolts stretch for hundreds of miles in all directions from it. They light up the sky over the Atlantic so that you can read the newspaper headlines that the newspaper "New York San" writes: "Last night we witnessed strange phenomena – giant lightning, personally emitted by Tesla. The layers of the atmosphere ignited at different heights and over a large area so that the night instantly turned into day, the whole air was filled with glow. It centered around the edges of the human body, and everyone present radiated a light blue mystical flame. We felt like ghosts to ourselves." As Tesla himself wrote: "The waves created by my transmitter will be the greatest spontaneous manifestation of energy on the planet."

      The halo surrounding Tesla's personality and discoveries contributed to the spread of all kinds of statements, which are usually semi-mythical in nature. Such statements cannot be verified due to the lack of documents, which does not prevent, however, attributing to Tesla a direct or indirect relation to many mysteries of the XX century.

      According to legend, after Tesla's death, the FBI special department, which was engaged in storing the property of foreign citizens (Eng. Alien Property Custodian), sent employees who seized all the papers they found in the room. The FBI suspected that even a few years before Tesla's death, some papers had been stolen by German intelligence and could be used to create German flying saucers. Wanting to prevent a repeat of this incident, the FBI classified all the papers they found.

      The book by writer Tim Schwartz mentions that in other hotels where Tesla rented rooms, his personal belongings also remained. Some of them are lost, more than 12 boxes of things were sold to pay Tesla's bills. Tim Schwartz also claims that in 1976, four nondescript boxes of papers were auctioned by a certain Michael P. Bornes, a bookseller from Manhattan. Dale Alfrey bought them for $25, not knowing what kind of papers they were. According to the author of the book, it later turned out that these were Nikola Tesla's laboratory journals and papers, which described hostile alien creatures capable of controlling the human brain.

      Many readers have questioned Tim Schwartz's claims, perceiving the book as an attempt to create a sensation. It is hardly possible to talk about Tesla's direct participation in the hypothetical event of the "Philodelfi experiment" due to the discrepancy between the dates of Tesla's life and the time of the alleged experiment, since Tesla himself died before it began – on January 7, 1943, while it is assumed that the experiment was conducted only on October 28, 1943.

      In 1931, Nikola Tesla allegedly demonstrated a working prototype of an electric car moving without any traditional current sources. There is no material evidence of the existence of this electric car.

      The American agency DARPA in 1958 allegedly tried to create Tesla's legendary "death rays" during the Seesaw project, which was conducted at the Livermore National Laboratory. In 1982, the project was interrupted due to a number of failures and budget overruns.

      At the end of the XX – beginning of the XXI century, a hypothesis appeared about the connection of Nikola Tesla with the Tunguska meteorite. According to this hypothesis, on the day of the observation of the Tunguska phenomenon (June 30, 1908), Nikola Tesla conducted an experiment on the transmission of energy «through the air». A few months before the explosion, Tesla claimed that he would be able to light the way to the North Pole of the expedition of the famous traveler Robert Peary. In addition, there are records in the journal of the Library of Congress that he requested maps of «the least populated parts of Siberia.» His experiments on the creation of standing waves, when, as it is claimed, a powerful electric pulse was concentrated tens of thousands of kilometers away in the Indian Ocean, quite fit into this «hypothesis». If Tesla managed to pump an impulse with the energy of the so-called «ether» (a hypothetical medium, to which, according to scientific ideas of the past centuries, the role of a carrier of electromagnetic interactions was attributed) and the resonance effect to «rock» the wave, then, according to this assumption, a discharge with a power comparable to a nuclear explosion should have occurred.

      In total, Tesla has more than 700 inventions and patents, some of which are the most important historical milestones of modern electricity. Tesla probably invented radio before Marconi and Popov, and also worked with X-rays before their official discovery by Wilhelm Roentgen.

      Working for Westinghouse, he patented the use of multiphase alternating current systems. Before the invention of the asynchronous (induction) motor, alternating current was not widely used, since it could not be used in pre-existing electric motors. Since 1889, Nikola Tesla began to study high-frequency currents and high voltages. He invented the first samples of electromechanical HF generators (including inductor type) and a high—frequency transformer (Tesla transformer, 1891), thereby creating prerequisites for the development of a new branch of electrical engineering – HF technology.

      In the course of research on high-frequency currents, Tesla also paid attention to safety issues. Experimenting on his body, he studied the effect of alternating currents of various frequencies and strengths on the human body. Many of the rules first developed by Tesla have become part of the modern fundamentals of safety when working with RF currents. He found that at a current frequency of over 700 Hz, an electric current flows over the surface of the body without harming the tissues of the body. Electrical devices developed by Tesla for medical research have become widespread in the world.

      Experiments with high-frequency high-voltage currents led the inventor to discover a method for cleaning contaminated surfaces. A similar effect of currents on the skin showed that in this way it is possible to remove small rashes, clean pores and kill germs. This method is used in modern electrotherapy.

      On October 12, 1887, Tesla gave a rigorous scientific description of the essence of the phenomenon of a rotating magnetic field. On May 1, 1888, Tesla received his main patents for the invention of multiphase electric machines (including an asynchronous electric motor) and a system for transmitting electricity by means of a multiphase alternating current. Using a two-phase system, which he considered the most economical, a number of industrial electrical installations were put into operation in the USA, including the Niagara Hydroelectric Power Station (1895), the largest in those years.

      Tesla demonstrates the principles of radio communication, 1891

      In 1891, at a public lecture, Tesla described and demonstrated the principles of radio communication. Tesla was one of the first to patent a method for reliably obtaining currents that can be used in radio communications. U.S. Patent 447,920, issued in the United States on March 10, 1891, described the "Method of Operating Arc Lamps" ("Method of Operating Arc-Lamps"), in which an alternating current generator produced high-frequency (by the standards of that time) current fluctuations of the order of 10,000 Hz. A patented innovation was the method of suppressing the sound produced by an arc lamp under the influence of alternating or pulsating current, for which Tesla came up with the idea of using frequencies that are beyond the perception of human hearing. According to the modern classification, the alternator operated in the range of very low radio frequencies.

      In 1893, the scientist took up the issues of wireless communication and invented a mast antenna.
