Sé que no mencione muchos inventos y descubrimientos, algunos que causaron trascendencia mundial, por que no había mucha información sobre Tesla que lo anexe a ese documento por varias razones, como los transformadores, los generadores pollifásicos, fue le primer hombre en tener en cuenta las armas no letales; como usar una pistola que lanzara rayos que aturdan a la persona atacada, o también un arma que emita ondas de alta frecuencia que puedan aturdir, atontar, marear, en otras palabras incapacitar al individuo que es debido, este último ejemplo hoy en día es utilizado, por ejemplo: en la guerra de Estados Unidos contra Irak, las tropas americanas llevaron una máquina parecida a un reflector que emitía ondas que aturdían a los iraquíes.
Nikola Tesla además fue de las pocas personas que se adelantaban a su tiempo, es decir; que Nikola Tesla era de esas personas que aparecían una vez cada cien años, otros ejemplos son Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, Aristóteles, Arquímedes, etc. A varios de estos los consideraron locos, simplemente porque no entendían su visión. Igual fue el caso de Tesla, por esa razón es que no es tan mencionado en la historia ni se escucha su nombre en inventos tan suyos como los rayos X, la lámpara de luz incandescente entre otros.
Y, para concluir me gustaría decir gracias por leer esta monografía y espero que al leerla hayan entendido el porqué elegí el tema de Nikola Tesla y espero que los haya mantenido interesados tanto o más como yo lo estuve al realizarla.

Conclusiones I
Después de haberles expuesta esta pequeña tesis sobre Nikola Tesla quiero concluir diciendo que para mí al menos es y será el genio más grande de todos los tiempos, un científico el cual estaba plagado de misterio, oscuridad y poco renombre, sólo hay unas cuantas estatuas de Tesla en el mundo, que se podrían contar con los dedos de una sola mano, una unidad de medida en su honor.
Tesla, por todo lo que hizo, desarrolló y descubrió; creo que Tesla debería tener más reconocimiento por sus logros, por que hay personas como Edison, que a pesar de ser su ‘Némesis’ era un ladrón de inventos, puesto que Tesla inventó el bombillo, o en ese entonces la lámpara de luz incandescente con fibras de carbono y Edison rápidamente fue a patentarlo a su nombre. Edison creyó que tener a Tesla de asistente le daba el poder de poner los inventos de sus asistentes a su nombre. Por esta razón es que varios de los inventos de Tesla no están a su nombre, quizás si Tesla hubiese patentado todos sus inventos tendría más de dos mil, pero un amigo suyo patentó solamente la mitad de este número al nombre del gran inventor y genio de Nikola Tesla.
Por último quisiera mencionar que Nikola Tesla como personaje histórico debería de tener más peso del que tiene debido a todo lo antes ya mencionado, él debería tener el título que tiene Einstein. Einstein está donde está solamente por haber desarrollado una forma de explicar la materia en el espacio, Tesla desarrolló una fórmula en la cual explicaba la materia en el espacio, los pensamientos en el espacio; en otras palabras Tesla desarrolló una manera de cómo representar por medio de números algo invisible, algo tan variable como un pensamiento, todo por considerar los pensamientos, sensaciones y emociones como energía.
Con el párrafo escrito anteriormente quería demostrar que por más lunático, excéntrico que fue Nikola Tesla fue uno de los genios más humanos de toda la historia

Muerte de Tesla
Tesla died of heart failure alone in room 3327 of the New Yorker Hotel, on 7 January 1943. Despite having sold his AC electricity patents, Tesla was destitute and died with significant debts. Later that year the US Supreme Court upheld Tesla's patent number, in effect recognizing him as the inventor of radio.
Bust of Tesla by Ivan Meštrović, 1952, in Zagreb, CroatiaImmediately after Tesla's death became known, the government's Alien Property Custodian office took possession of his papers and property, despite his US citizenship. His safe at the hotel was also opened. At the time of his death, Tesla had been continuing his work on the teleforce weapon, or death ray, that he had unsuccessfully marketed to the US War Department. It appears that his proposed death ray was related to his research into ball lightning and plasma, and was imagined as a particle beam weapon. The US government did not find a prototype of the device in the safe. After the FBI was contacted by the War Department, his papers were declared to be top secret. The personal effects were seized on the advice of presidential advisers; J. Edgar Hoover declared the case most secret, because of the nature of Tesla's inventions and patents. One document stated that "[he] is reported to have some 80 trunks in different places containing transcripts and plans having to do with his experiments".
Tesla's family and the Yugoslav embassy struggled with the American authorities to gain these items after his death due to the potential significance of some of his research. Eventually, his nephew, Sava Kosanoviċ, won possession of some of his personal effects, which are now housed in the Nikola Tesla Museum.
Tesla's funeral took place on 12 January 1943, at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in Manhattan, New York City. His body was cremated and his ashes taken to Belgrade, Serbia, then-Yugoslavia in 1957. The urn was placed in the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade, where it resides to this day.

Like many of his era, Tesla, a life-long bachelor, became a proponent of a self-imposed selective breeding version of eugenics. In a 1937 interview, he stated:
... man's new sense of pity began to interfere with the ruthless workings of nature. The only method compatible with our notions of civilization and the race is to prevent the breeding of the unfit by sterilization and the deliberate guidance of the mating instinct .... The trend of opinion among eugenists is that we must make marriage more difficult. Certainly no one who is not a desirable parent should be permitted to produce progeny. A century from now it will no more occur to a normal person to mate with a person eugenically unfit than to marry a habitual criminal.
In 1926, Tesla commented on the ills of the social subservience of women and the struggle of women toward gender equality, indicated that humanity's future would be run by "Queen Bees". He believed that women would become the dominant sex in the future.
In his later years Tesla became a vegetarian. In an article for Century Illustrated Magazine he wrote: "It is certainly preferable to raise vegetables, and I think, therefore, that vegetarianism is a commendable departure from the established barbarous habit." Tesla argued that it is wrong to eat uneconomic meat when large numbers of people are starving; he also believed that plant food was "superior to it [meat] in regard to both mechanical and mental performance". He also argued that animal slaughter was "wanton and cruel".
In his final years he suffered from extreme sensitivity to light, sound and other influences

Datos Personales IV
Tesla was good friends with Robert Underwood Johnson. He had amicable relations with Francis Marion Crawford, Stanford White, Fritz Lowenstein, George Scherff, and Kenneth Swezey. He ripped up a Westinghouse contract that would have made him the world's first billionaire, in part because of the implications it would have on his future vision of free power, and in part because it would run Westinghouse out of business, and Tesla had no desire to deal with the creditors.
Tesla lived the last ten years of his life in a two-room suite on the 33rd floor of the Hotel New Yorker, room 3327. There, near the end of his life, Tesla showed signs of encroaching mental illness, claiming to be visited by a specific white pigeon daily. Several biographers note that Tesla viewed the death of the pigeon as a "final blow" to himself and his work.
Tesla believed that war could not be avoided until the cause for its recurrence was removed, but was opposed to wars in general.
He sought to reduce distance, such as in communication for better understanding, transportation, and transmission of energy, as a means to ensure friendly international relations.

Datos Personales III
In middle age, Tesla became very close friends with Mark Twain. They spent a lot of time together in his lab and elsewhere.
Tesla remained bitter in the aftermath of his incident with Edison. The day after Edison died the New York Times contained extensive coverage of Edison's life, with the only negative opinion coming from Tesla, who was quoted as saying:
He had no hobby, cared for no sort of amusement of any kind and lived in utter disregard of the most elementary rules of hygiene ... His method was inefficient in the extreme, for an immense ground had to be covered to get anything at all unless blind chance intervened and, at first, I was almost a sorry witness of his doings, knowing that just a little theory and calculation would have saved him 90 percent of the labor. But he had a veritable contempt for book learning and mathematical knowledge, trusting himself entirely to his inventor's instinct and practical American sense.
Shortly before he died, Edison said that his biggest mistake had been in trying to develop direct current, rather than the vastly superior alternating current system that Tesla had put within his grasp.

Tesla was prone to alienating himself and was generally soft-spoken. However, when he did engage in a social life, many people spoke very positively and admiringly of him. Robert Underwood Johnson described him as attaining a "distinguished sweetness, sincerity, modesty, refinement, generosity, and force." His loyal secretary, Dorothy Skerrit, wrote: "his genial smile and nobility of bearing always denoted the gentlemanly characteristics that were so ingrained in his soul." Tesla's friend Hawthorne wrote that "seldom did one meet a scientist or engineer who was also a poet, a philosopher, an appreciator of fine music, a linguist, and a connoisseur of food and drink."
Nevertheless, Tesla displayed the occasional cruel streak; he openly expressed his disgust for overweight people, once firing a secretary because of her weight.:110 He was quick to criticize others' clothing as well, on several occasions demanding a subordinate to go home and change her dress.
Tesla was widely known for his great showmanship, presenting his innovations and demonstrations to the public as an artform, almost like a magician. This seems to conflict with his observed reclusiveness; Tesla was a complicated figure. He refused to hold conventions without his Tesla coil blasting electricity throughout the room, despite the audience often being terrified, though he assured them everything was perfectly safe.

Tesla hablaba numerosos idiomas, aparte de serbio, hablaba alemán, checo, inglés, italiano, húngaro, francés y latín. Tesla también, sufrió de un problema de desorden 
obsesivo-compulsivo: y tenía varias fobias, como las ya mencionadas en alguna otra entrada.
obsesivo-compulsivo: y tenía varias fobias, como las ya mencionadas en alguna otra entrada.Una manía que tenía Tesla era una obseción con el número 3, tanto así era que el número de su cuarto era divisible entre 3, su cuarto era el 3327, también hacía que le den 3 toallas, le corten el pan en 3 o 9 rodajas, que le dieran 3 cubiertos, ya entienden cuando digo que era una manía obseciva con el número 3.
Tesla fue también un amante de los animales. Tesla nunca se casó y dijo ser célibe hasta su muerte, siendo este último punto algo benéfico para sus logros científicos.

Tesla En Las Series??
En la popular serie estadounidense ‘Dr. House’, en el capítulo de nombre “Elegidos Para la Gloria”, en la escena en la que van a seleccionar los candidatos para formar parte del nuevo staff se lee claramente en la pizarra una frase que dice ‘Tesla Was Robbed’, que significa que robaron a Tesla. Y esa frasecilla se puede ver numerosas veces en el episodio.
Tesla es mencionado en la literatura de Michael Crichton, en la novela ‘El Mundo Perdido’. Donde se mencionan algunos tecnomitos, como el que Tesla mencionaba numerosas veces a lo largo de su vida, el de haber descubierto una gran fuente de energía.
