The 1984 International Tesla Symposium Proceedings is the Rarest of the serveral in the series of Tesla Symposium books.

The 1984 International Tesla Symposium was held in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

It is only fitting that these biennial events be hosted in the city where Tesla reached his zenith as he dared to confront the unknown.

Unlike many of his "peers", Tesla would constantly challenge the conventional wisdom of his day in a number of different fields. Now, a nearly a half century after his death, the conventional wisdom is still standing and is once again being challenged.

At the University of Graz, Tesla raised the issue utilizing AC power.

Chastised and rebuked by his peers and his professor as being out in left field somewhere. Tesla went on to develop the Alternating Current motor which would bring the 20th Century home to millions!

Later, Tesla felt that if mankind wouldn't stop fighting one another, they should turn to robots to do the fighting and at least save themselves from bloodshed. The result was the world's first automaton (complete with logic circuits and remote control).

Tesla brought us some incredible technologies: Most were brushed aside by naval commanders as too advanced, such as radio, superior lightning protection, advanced lighting techniques, and the world's most efficient motor--the blade less turbine--are just a few of the elements comprising Tesla's legacy to the world.
