Due to the current epidemiological situation, the traditional annual conference dedicated to Nikola Tesla, organized by the Tesla Science Foundation (TSF) from Philadelphia was held online this year, on 16 January 2021.<\/p>\n
Olgica Vla\u010di\u0107, Consul at the Consulate General of the Republic of Serbia in New York delivered keynote address, and Nikola Lon\u010dar, founder and president of the Foundation, said at the beginning of his presentation: \u2018Tesla is an icon of the diaspora \u2013 it is easier to gather our young people, but also foreigners, at Tesla meetings than at any other event, because his \u201cmagic\u201d does not stop even today, almost eight decades after he had left this world.\u2019<\/p>\n
The conference presented the pilot project Establishing Tesla Clubs, which was launched by the Tesla Science Foundation based in Serbia in cooperation with the elementary school Dragomir Markovi\u0107 from Kru\u0161evac and Branislav Petrovi\u0107 from Slatina near \u010ca\u010dak, with monitoring and logistics by TSF from the US.<\/p>\n
As part of the 2021 online conference program, all the interested had a unique opportunity to hear several very renowned and respected people who are making great breakthroughs worldwide, such as Gary Peterson, engineer, scientist and publicist, owner of the Twenty First Century Books, who has published most books dedicated to Nikola Tesla within his publishing house; Marc J. Seifer, a writer and historian who was the first to prepare a doctoral dissertation on the topic of Nikola Tesla; the Corum brothers, who have dedicated their lives to continuing to work on Tesla\u2019s patents, especially on wireless power transmission, and who presented their most important discoveries and achievements at the conference.
\nUntil now, Tesla conferences were held at the New Yorker Hotel in New York, where Tesla had lived for the last ten years of his life and where he died on 7 January 1943.<\/p>\n
TSF from Philadelphia is working hard on a program to introduce a subject on Tesla in American schools. The Foundation pointed out that they had found numerous ways to achieve this goal due to America\u2019s non-centralized education system. In addition to this project, the Tesla Foundation devotes great attention to young, talented people around the world in the desire to show the world the strength and power of Tesla\u2019s people, while uniting compatriots in the diaspora with the motherland.<\/p>\n
\u2018Tesla is an important link both between the motherland and the diaspora, and for connecting with other nations, as well as individuals having a realistic picture and knowing the truth about Serbs and the suffering of our people through the centuries,\u2019 said Nikola Lon\u010dar, TSF founder.<\/p>\n
