> Sorry to break this to you, but Tesla was losing it well before the end of his career. He blew all his money on crazy ideas that would never work. There's nothing to lock up.
Mmm, wiki says this:
Two days later, the FBI ordered the Alien Property Custodian to seize Tesla's belongings,[19] even though Tesla was an American citizen.[63] Tesla's entire estate from the Hotel New Yorker and other New York City hotels was transported to the Manhattan Storage and Warehouse Company under Office of Alien Property (OAP) seal.[19] John G. Trump, a professor at M.I.T. and well-known electrical engineer serving as a technical aide to the National Defense Research Committee, was called in to analyze the Tesla items in OAP custody.[19] After a three-day investigation, Trump's report concluded that there was nothing that would constitute a hazard in unfriendly hands, stating:
[Tesla's] thoughts and efforts during at least the past 15 years were primarily of a speculative, philosophical, and somewhat promotional character often concerned with the production and wireless transmission of power; but did not include new, sound, workable principles or methods for realizing such results.[132]
In a box purported to contain a part of Tesla's "death ray," Trump found a 45-year-old multidecade resistance box.[133]
Estate
In 1952, following pressure from Tesla's nephew, Sava Kosanović, Tesla's entire estate was shipped to Belgrade in 80 trunks marked N.T
Scifi frauds. SF illuminates.
