The investigations and results of Nikola Tesla in the field of remote control are displayed with the reconstructed working model of a small boat. Such a boat he used in his experiments in 1898 in New York to demonstrate the possibilities of wireless control of moving of mechanical devices (vehicles, boats etc.).

Anticipating with his inventions and experiments in this field the development of remote control Tesla was much ahead of his time. The large-scale photograph of his "World wireless station" at Long Island near New York depicts his intention to construct a transmitting station for particular purposes. According to his conception, that station built in 1900 was planned to transmit not only news but also music and photographs. However, this great plan remained unrealized.

Awards

Numerous decorations, honorary diplomas and awards exhibited in the last part of the exhibition symbolize the significance of his inventions. However, the greatest award was granted to him post-mortem by the International Commission for Electrical Engineering at its session in Philadelphia in 1960. The Commission decided to give the name "tesla" to the unit of magnetic induction. In this way Tesla became equally ranked with such outstanding scientists as Volta, Ampčre, Faraday, Kelvin ...

The death-mask of Nikola Tesla is the last exhibit, and next to it is the quotation of the American inventor E. Armstrong: "The World, I think, will wait a long time for Nikola Tesla's equal in achievement and imagination."
