Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 7 January 1943) was an inventor and a mechanical and electrical engineer. He is frequently cited as one of the most important contributors to the birth of commercial electricity and is best known for his many revolutionary developments in the field of electromagnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Tesla's patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern alternating current (AC) electric power systems, including the polyphase system of electrical distribution and the AC motor, with which he helped usher in the Second Industrial Revolution.

Born an ethnic Serb in the village of Smiljan, Croatian Military Frontier, in the territory of today's Croatia, he was a subject of the Austrian Empire by birth and later became an American citizen.[2] After his demonstration of wireless communication through radio in 1894 and after being the victor in the "War of Currents", he was widely respected as one of the greatest electrical engineers who worked in America.[3] Much of his early work pioneered modern electrical engineering and many of his discoveries were of groundbreaking importance. During this period, in the United States, Tesla's fame rivaled that of any other inventor or scientist in history or popular culture,[4] but due to his eccentric personality and his seemingly unbelievable and sometimes bizarre claims about possible scientific and technological developments, Tesla was ultimately ostracized and regarded as a mad scientist.[5][6] Tesla never put much focus on his finances. It is said he died impoverished, at the age of 86.

  • It's all true. It was found on Wikipedia, guys.

  • Just found this while researching Tesla on OPA! National Archives Identifier:72401 Local Identifier:342-USAF-51244 " Covers experiments conducted.... in which a laser beam is directed vertically into heavy clouds to break down atmosphere and cause lightning strikes; includes tests at Wendover, Utah, using a Tesla Coil to create extremely high voltage arcs striking a model advanced development composite aircraft to determine structural integrity of composite materials.

  • Ivan Mestrovic made a bust of Nikola Tesla which can be seen in Belgrade even today...Don't forget this two great men and great friends!
