Nikola Tesla Laboratory Historical Marker
The Nikola Tesla Laboratory Historical Marker in Colorado Springs, Colorado, commemorates the Tesla Experimental Station, a laboratory established by Nikola Tesla in 1899. This site, operational for just nine months, was pivotal in Tesla's research on high-frequency electricity and wireless transmission, showcasing innovations that laid the groundwork for modern electrical systems.
Notably, the station housed the largest Tesla coil ever built, measuring over 49 feet in diameter, which replicated the effects of lightning and thunder. Although the laboratory was dismantled years later, its legacy endures, highlighting Tesla's significant contributions to technology and science, including alternating current, remote control, and robotics.
