Nikola Tesla: The Man Who Harnessed Niagara Falls

3.8/5 ( ratings)

Nikola Tesla was one of the truly brilliant inventive minds of the last 150 years. After receiving his education and beginning his career in Europe, Tesla emigrated to the U.S. in 1884 and began working for his hero Thomas Edison, then for George Westinghouse. Tesla, the electrical sorcerer, was best known for harnessing alternating current electricity -- which he demonstrated spectacularly at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair -- and for inventing the means to harness the awesome power of Niagara Falls to create and use electrical power. But he also experimented for almost fifty years on a project called the World Telegraphy System, which he believed would broadcast light, information, pictures and power around the globe -- the precursor to the wireless revolution we are experiencing today; he also was the real inventor of the radio, the lift-off helicopter-airplane, and laser and weaponry technology that would much later be associated with death rays and Star Wars technologies.
