Interesting thing I just saw on the science channel’s What On Earth. There was a semi abandoned giant Tesla coil on a military site in Russia.

Couple years before he died he was hit by a taxi which greatly affected his health and probably caused demise.
Couple days after he died the government went in and took all his work.
