Nikola Tesla Reveals New Store of Energy

Scientist Announces Discovery of Unlimited Supply

By United Press

New York, July 10. — Nikola Tesla, the renowned physicist and inventor who developed the fundamental principle of radio, marked his seventy-seventh birthday today by indicating the discovery of a hitherto unknown source of unlimited energy, "so practical that the machinery to harness it will last 500 years, and so basic, that it will undo the Einstein theory of relativity.

"They called me crazy in 1896 when I announced the discovery of the cosmic rays," Tesla said. "They jeered when I discovered something new and then years later saw that I was right. Now I suppose it will be the same old story when I say I have discovered a hitherto unknown source of energy — unlimited energy that can be harnessed.

Initial Cost Big

"The initial cost will be relatively big. After that hardly anything and unlimited power for the asking."

Tesla has given the world the arc lighting system, the Tesla coil, the rotating field principle for alternative currents and innumerable other electrical devices.
