Al BattGUEST
So if I, I know I missed some folks I wanted to talk to, and that, that's probably the reason.
Al BattGUEST

Juan NaulaNARRATOR
More interested in his turbine designs, Jack Morgan allocated Tesla twenty thousand dollars, who instead of using the money in the way it was intended, spent it all trying to persuade Sigmund Bergmann, a German industrialist, to finance his project, which was discontinued after the outbreak of World War I.
Juan NaulaNARRATOR
Over the next ten years, as his personal wealth began to evaporate, Tesla continued to assess his turbine and to work in conjunction with manufacturers such as Pyle National in Chicago, Allis-Chalmers in Milwaukee, and the Budd Company in Philadelphia.
Juan NaulaNARRATOR
But he was unable to fix a recurring problem that ultimately spelled the project's doom, as if operated at over ten thousand RPM, the thin discs of the internal machinery would start to deform, and there were no stronger materials available.
Juan NaulaNARRATOR
Tesla's inability to secure funding for any of his pursuits and his penchant for overspending led to the near emptying of his bank accounts, and from 1916, he was forced to file for bankruptcy.
