Nikola Tesla's Laboratory

Colorado Springs, CO 80903

The Nikola Tesla Experimental Station, established by the renowned inventor in 1899, was located on Knob Hill in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This laboratory, operational for just nine months, was pivotal in Tesla's research on high-frequency electricity and wireless transmission of power, including an ambitious attempt to send a signal from Pikes Peak to Paris, France.

Home to the largest Tesla coil ever built, measuring over 49 feet in diameter, the station replicated the effects of lightning and thunder. Although the laboratory was dismantled years later, Tesla's groundbreaking contributions to technology, including alternating current and wireless mechanisms, continue to influence modern life.
