The Nikola Tesla Laboratory in Colorado Springs, CO, was established by the renowned inventor in 1899 on a vacant site on Knob Hill, where it operated until January 1900. This experimental lab was instrumental in Tesla's groundbreaking work with high-frequency electricity and wireless power transmission, including ambitious attempts to send signals across vast distances.

Home to the largest Tesla coil ever built, measuring over 49 feet in diameter, the laboratory was pivotal in advancing technologies that shape modern life, such as alternating current, robotics, and wireless communications. Although the laboratory was dismantled after its brief operation, its legacy continues to influence a myriad of contemporary inventions.
