Surprised the tesla turbine wasn't mentioned in this video, however its not like it had much effect until recently.

Tesla is a tragic figure.

Tesla is the man! Edison gets all the credit but he was really just a scumbag. I especially love Tesla's work with tuning forks, at one point he supposedly made one large enough to cause earthquakes and it was promptly confiscated by the government. He was a true mad scientist

the movie "The Prestige" features tesla, great movie if you've never seen it
tesla is also known for his experiments involving electricity and the mentally handicapped, some say that if he was alive during the thirties and forties that he would have been a perfect nazi

This man is a Hero... And what seemed to be swept under the rug here in this film.
A SERB......

it said that Tesla had many ideas written down. but did not want to share it with human kind because we would use it for bad things. after his death, the government raided his home and confiscated everything. makes you wonder what other invention he had in mind that the government confiscated and that the government uses it nowadays that we dont know of.

You know, Prometheus was tied to a rock to have his liver eaten by a bird every day for all eternity for giving man fire. Anyway, maybe there's a common thread in the myth and the man.
