Tesla statue unveiled in Niagara Falls, Canada

Tesla statue in Niagara Falls, Ontario, 150 years ago, atop of AC motor he designed. He had a laboratory off Houston Street in Manhattan, NY and out at Wardenclyffe, on Long Island near Shoreham, NY in the HAZMAT site, "Peerless Photo Products" to become a Science Museum eventually. Nearby is the ill-fated nuclear power plant never opened due to rising fuel costs, huge cracked backup diesel engine crankshaft from California, rumored batches of duplicate x-rays of piping, local objection, minority employment, and other problems, the lack of an adequate archaeological survey the least of the complaints I've heard. Years ago the photo people wanted to know about the weird small brick tunnels running under the place. Tesla is also commemorated in remote-sensing where the minute differences in the magnetism of the ground are measured in "nano-Teslas" one Tesla the sum magnetism of the Earth. Magnetism is also measured in "gauss" and "gammas" (all part of a "Weber") measurement probably used for magnetic studies of "eddy currents" that become "pinned" in superconductivity, causing a magnet to float above some supercooled materials being researched. Tesla Wardenclyffe Project located in the Town of Brookhaven, in the hamlet of Shoreham, New York.
