Nikola Lonchar, Private Detective
Founder/President of the Tesla Science Foundation.
During my early childhood, I had the privilege of living in the same neighborhood as George Gostovic, who was the strongest Serb in the world. He was also a personal friend of Tesla. I also lived about 5 miles away from the Nikola Tesla Museum and visited many times. I was hoping that Mr. Gostovic would teach me to fight, but instead he taught me about the importance of Tesla's work and philosophy. It is through Tesla and Mr. Gostovic that I began to love America. To me, Tesla's coming to America made his achievements possible.
For me, Tesla is an inspiration and holds the solution for most of the problems our planet faces today. Completing Tesla's work would create a heaven on earth. There wouldn't be as much war or pollution and free energy would increase quality of life for all. Adding unencumbered communications would also help us progress.
I have been involved with inventions since I was a child and have several patents and awards, the most important to me being the Nikola Tesla Gold Medal. I worked to collect as much as I could that is Tesla-related, especially if rare.
My whole family is in someway affected by Tesla. My son did a presentation about Tesla in 8th grade. The crowd was interested in learning more about the "Forgotten Genius" but it was clear how little people actually knew about Tesla. This inspired me to start the Nikola Tesla Inventors Club. We have since held many lectures, meetings, science conferences and inventors conventions.
The depth of my research on Tesla has led me to a lot of doubts regarding the documents that we have about Tesla, specifically those presented by John O'Neill. Spreading the truth about Tesla was the primary mission in starting the group, but I had no idea how big of a project that would be. Before we can spread the truth, we have to find out the truth. I have doubts surrounding Tesla's cremation as well; it was not documented and impermissible by Orthodox Christian values.
In 2004 a group of Tesla Enthusiasts helped me start the Nikola Tesla Inventors Club, which led to both the Nikola Tesla Club and the Tesla Science Foundation. Today, I believe we are the most active Tesla group worldwide and we work together with other organizations and have a lab in Zemun.
It has always troubled me that someone so important to American history has been left out of its teaching altogether. The Smithsonian barely mentions Tesla in its electricity exhibits.
When Tesla closed the Wardenclyffe tower, he said that it would work when the time came. Is now the time? Has our human consciousness come to the level necessary to fully realize Tesla's visions?
I believe that it is time for the 4th industrial revolution. I invite you to work with us. Contact me anytime at
