The future museum in the United States on the life and work of Nikola Tesla, scientist and inventor of alternating current, it seems more possible than ever. And that, thanks to the more than 19,000 donors, in less than a week in exchange for various rewards, have contributed more than $ 800,000 (about 641,000 euros) through the crowdfunding site Indiegogo.com (highest platform global collective cooperation conducted by people who promote an initiative to get money or other resources to fund efforts and initiatives of other individuals or organizations). This crowdfunding initiative, promoted under the slogan Let's build a fucking museum to Tesla, was marked on 15 August a final goal of $ 850,000, although it appears that by the time the deadline, September 29 will have completed more than that amount. Yesterday, this campaign was the number one in terms of fundraising in this website, beating held on last June to help a bus monitors harassed by several students, who got $ 703,833, one of the most successful in the U.S. until Tesla and its museum have come into play.
"We are trying to get enough money to buy the old laboratory of this inventor, known as Wardenclyffe Tower, located in the State of New York, so we can open a museum with his research and studies," says the architect of the successful campaign, NGO Tesla Science Center, a team of eight people, including physicists, a teacher, an expert geologist, geographer and librarian Matthew Inman, creator of the comic The Oatmeal. The space is currently for sale and about to be acquired for $ 1.6 million for the construction of commercial premises. This led to the platform to defend this building as a historic monument. "Tesla Science Center is a nonprofit organization that has more than a decade fighting to protect this property. The most important thing is that the place is in good hands, "says Inman on his blog.
The lab closed in 1917 when the researcher was ruined
Tesla, physicist born in Croatia in 1856 in a family of Serbian and U.S. citizen in 1891, dominated disciplines such as physics, mathematics and electrical engineering. It is one of the founders of the electrical industry. He was also the inventor of the radio in the seventies the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the patent on this invention was legitimately owned by Tesla, not Marconi, Speaker, neon light, remote control or alternator, among others. Some of his inventions came to touch the nonsense, as his theory of death-ray of a gun of 60 million volts, death and destruction to 400 miles away, or the idea of wireless power transmission. Your financial mismanagement led to die bankrupt in 1943.
Proceeds will so the old lab where he worked Tesla, founded in 1901 and where the famed inventor wanted to develop a tower to provide wireless power to everyone, be reborn from its ashes.
The owners requested 1.3 million euros for the land
The lack of funds caused the Tesla project was stopped in 1917, and settled the property where his laboratory was sold to a film maker. Although the 60-meter tower was demolished, and the laboratory facilities beneath remain intact until today, said Inman.
"There is no museum about this scientist and inventor in the U.S., and this goal will ensure that their research would remain protected in what would be called Nikola Tesla Science Center," says Inman. The total space acquisition, valued at about $ 1.6 million, more like the hand thanks to the $ 850,000 they hope to raise more than, perhaps, with this campaign and the contribution of the same amount from the state New York.
In addition to the collection over the Internet, Inman has appealed to large companies to become part of the project. He turns to Google, Tesla Motors and J. P. Morgan, among others. Because if finally succeeds in acquiring the property, then they need more money to turn the place into a museum. "The only give us 1.6 million for the land," says Inman. One of those who have stepped forward was Elon Musk, founder of PayPal and founder of Tesla Motors, but has not yet made public the amount you donate.
