Tesla Meets Willy Wonka
Extremely Rare photos (retouched with color for effect)...Rare sound - electromagnetic radio waves were recently captured digitally - It's the historical meeting between Tesla and Willy Wonka - just before the fire at Tesla's Wardenclyffe plant.
Listen to this rare audio of factory sounds from their experiments in the production of electromagnetic sonic candy.

Tesla: "My Friend, Samuel"
Mark Twain in Tesla's laboratory.
"I had hardly completed my course at the Real Gymnasium when I was prostrated with a dangerous illness or rather, a score of them, and my condition became so desperate that I was given up by physicians. During this period I was permitted to read constantly, obtaining books from the Public Library which had been neglected and entrusted to me for classification of the works and preparation of the catalogues. One day I was handed a few volumes of new literature unlike anything I had ever read before and so captivating as to make me utterly forget my hopeless state. They were the earlier works of Mark Twain and to them might have been due the miraculous recovery which followed. Twenty-five years later, when I met Mr. Clemens and we formed a friendship between us, I told him of the experience and was amazed to see that great man of laughter burst into tears.''
Nikola Tesla, "My Inventions: the autobiography of Nikola Tesla", Hart Bros., 1982. Originally appeared in the Electrical experimenter magazine in 1919.

Seashells by the Ear Shore
"Mildred wears two of them; none of that painful reality stuff for her....The little mosquito-delicate dancing hum in the air, the electrical murmur of a hidden wasp snug in its special pink warm nest. The music was almost loud enough so he could follow the tune.

The Age of Power
Welcome to the Age of Power. Telsa transforms our concept of energy! Take a virtual tour of The Niagara Power System. Source: http://www.pbs.org/tesla/ins/niagara.html
Global Transmission On the Horizon
Telsa says "current waves" are the answer to wireless transmission of energy.
"It is just like this: I have invented a knife. The knife can cut with the sharp edge. I tell the man who applies my invention, you must cut with the sharp edge. I know perfectly well you can cut butter with the blunt edge, but my knife is not intended for this. You must not make the antenna give off 90 percent in electromagnetic and 10 percent in current waves, because the electromagnetic waves are lost by the time you are a few arcs around the planet, while the current travels to the uttermost distance of the globe and can be recovered." - courtesy of the Future BBC.
