luckylisa1760, you are correct-Tesla was a genius. His engineering prowess was far ahead of his comtemporaries, many of whoch stole from him (Edison and Marconi come to mind). It is a tragedy that he died penniless.

A genius. Up there with Newton, Boyle, gimme a fourth, if we include Tesla in the Scientific Mt Rushmore.
Player #902588
he had a brilliant mind

He campaigned for free electricity for everyone. That made him a target from others who wanted to make a profit on this utility.

Tesla was robbed.
Justfly_82
unfortunately everyone thought he was crazy. He died broke and alone. "The Current War" is an excellent movie about when electricity was invented. It's about Edison, Westinghouse, and Tesla.
Waldo Lydeker
Tesla vs Edison - A/C vs D/C - Edison's PR won, but time proved Tesla was right all along.

Jwee1125, The reason we know about Edison is that the US are the global masters at marketing! That, and they speak English, the world's first global language.

From the first time I learnt about house electricity, I heard only about Edison. Until I watched 'The Current War' movie that I learnt about Tesla. Edison invented bulb lamp, Tesla made Edison's bulb light up our houses.

Has anybody ever heard of Granville T. Woods? Edison lost to this prolific inventor in a patent case in court. Look him up.

His birthplace Smiljan is located in modern day Croatia. He is the one person that both Croats and Serbs honor equally as the "man who invented 20. (but also 21.) century".

Einstein was one asked how he feels that he is the smartest man in the world. He answered: "I cannot know that, you'll have to ask Nicola Tesla."
