Abstract

This paper examines the systematic suppression of Nikola Tesla’s inventions—especially wireless energy transmission and the Tesla coil—from historical, social, economic, and political perspectives. It explores why the Wardenclyffe Tower project was not supported by J.P. Morgan and other financial interests, how Tesla’s projects were seized by the government (including FBI involvement), and the role of media marginalization and patent politics.<br>The analysis discusses how the concept of “free energy” was perceived as a threat by energy monopolies, and how Tesla’s innovative scientific approach was historically marginalized. The strategic significance of alternative energy for social development is highlighted.<br>The case study reveals the mechanisms of scientific suppression throughout human history by focusing on Tesla’s life, and draws attention to the ongoing challenges of censorship and suppression in contemporary scientific innovation.<br><br>The author acknowledges the use of OpenAI’s language model for assistance in drafting certain sections of this workl
