Nikola Tesla died lonely on January 7, 1943 at the age of 86 in his hotel room in New York.

The majority of his life he had lived in the hotel- his financial problems became legendary. His room number 3327 is located on the 33rd floor. Tesla was obsessed with numbers and very eccentric (3 times 3 times 3 equals 27).

At the time of his death, the sign "Please do not disturb" hung on the door, but Alice, the chambermaid, entered and found him dead. The writer Hugo Gerns (known from the circle of science-fiction writers such as Wells or Verne), the great supporter of the artwork of Nikola Tesla, has made the death mask of his friend, which is located in the Museum of Nikola Tesla in New York.

Immediately after this sad event, the FBI showed up in his hotel room and confiscated all property from all his hotel rooms, which was sealed in various warehouses "for later study". So far, the US government is keeping part of this property.

For example, the mayor of New York broadcast him the great honor, many writers and musicians from different countries - that would have been an infinite list of names. What's important, it was Nikola Tesla who gave us the "commercial" electricity. He clearly started a huge revolution, without them, this article would not exist.

A few months after his death, he was recognized as a "father of radio technology" by the US Court due to the earlier lecture in 1893. It was about a long patent dispute with another giant in the industry and inventor Marconi. And in September 1943, the cargo ship named after Tesla was launched, serving Britain in World War II. After Nikola Tesla also a Croatian military group was named, which fought in some front areas in the 2. World war (although Tesla was a pacifist).

When Nikola Tesla was still a small child, electricity was still an unexplored phenomenon or researched by only a few physicists. At the time, no one thought that electricity could have practical application in the future.
