Tesla

Nikola Tesla (Serbian scientist) the greatest genius since Leonardo daVinci. Few people even know that man who invented the 20 th century even existed. His ideas and inventions were credited by others. His inventions include X-rays (credited to Roentgen), radio (credited to Marconi), the microwave oven, speedometer, automobile ignition system, basics behind radar, fluorescent bulb, electron microscope, neon lights and on top of all Tesla designed the first hydro-electric power plant in Niagara Falls (invented alternating currents).On his credit we have the unit tesla .


Tesla had biggest competitor Thomas Edison, who did everything to prove Tesla wrong and to erase him from history books. Tesla's ideas were so extreme that scientist community thought he was lunatic. He believed that both voice and image could be transmitted through the air (in the late 1800's), which of course was true since we have wireless Internet today. But he was not recognised as Edison.
