Of note Wardenclyffe, the site of the Tesla-tower, is currently being redeveloped into a Tesla science center and museum. And while the tower is gone, most of the other buildings are there. They actually are doing a groundbreaking ceremony on the site the day this video goes live (April 27, 2023)

Tesla was NOT broke at the end. He practiced an extreme form of vegitarianism at the end and he was malnurished looking probably because his body wasn't getting enough protein. At the end in the start of the 1940's, Tesla maintained three labs that we know nothing about. A "broke" person cant afford to rent space, run, and supply experimental labs.

The 3-phase power system and motors that power the world is Tesla’s most important invention, not the Tesla coil. Also power is not measured in volts but in Watts. The Tesla coil could never send power around the World. The power outages were not due to the high volt outputs of his coil, they were caused by him drawing too much power from the local power plant. Remember, the Tesla coil made no energy of its own.

One of the most interesting theories I have heard about Tesla is that he inadvertently caused the Tunguska event in 1908 with is Wardenclyffe tower. He was allegedly trying to impress Admiral Robert Perry (Tesla was desperate for financiers) who was on an expedition to the north pole and currently camped at Ellesmere Island. By sending an energy "blast" he hoped to cause some atmospheric lights and effects that he had told Perry to look out for. Apparently the "blast" was too strong and overshot its target, destroying the forest in Tunguska. Not a lot of evidence in general since no expeditions were even able to reach Tunguska until 1927. Fun to think about though
