Nicola Tesla
Imagine electricity so powerful it can shoot through the air 130 feet, yet safe enough to travel through a person and light a bulb in his hand. It's not fiction with modern electronics. Most of today's modern electronic discoveries have their roots in the writings and patents of one genius who very few people know. Radios, blenders, fans, neon lighting, hair dryers, X-rays, fluorescent bulbs, speedometers, the automobile ignition system, and the basics behind cellular phones, radar, electron microscopes, and the microwave oven all seem to have listed inventors like Marconi, Roentgen, or Edison, but visions of all of these and many more inventions were in the mind of a man named Nicola Tesla long before any of them had otherwise been heard of. Tesla was man deemed as eccentric for the wild claims he made for his time, and public image marred by bad propaganda circulated by individuals who were to say the least jealous of his talents and as a result is not commonly known or accredited for his great accomplishments.His story begins in 1856 when he was born into a Serbian family in a mountainous area of the Balkan Peninsula. Tesla's mother w
Tesla now turned to the dream of his youth, to harness the power of the great Niagara Falls. With the Westinghouse Company, investors and construction crews Tesla designed the first hydro electric plant sending thousands of horsepower in electricity to cities all over the east coast. One investor, J.P. Morgan in hopes of bringing all hydro-electric power under his control manipulated the stock market with the intention buying out Westinghouse and gaining control of the Tesla patents. Tesla would not stand for this, and sacrificing great wealth, tore up his original contract with Westinghouse for the generous royalties he would have received as a result of all the power now being supplied by the hydroelectric system. Tesla went on later to invent the Tesla coil, Radio, Remote controls and other modern technological devices. Tesla was a great inventor who seldom gets credit for his great accomplishments, because he died and old eccentric man, who claimed he received radio waves from the sky, could split the earth in half, and invented a "death ray" that would make wars obsolete. Oddly enough, some believe he may have had the ingenuity to do
