Nikola Tesla: The Greatest Genius Who Ever Lived

We know Nikola Tesla as an inventor, electrical and mechanical engineer. With over 700 international patents at the time of his death, The Serbian American immigrant catapulted humanity into an entirely new age - a world powered and lit by alternating electrical current. And that’s just the beginning. Hundreds of electrical mediums we use today were sourced in his head: turbine engines, electric railroads, neon and fluorescent lighting, wireless radio communication, X-rays, remote control and speedometers, just to name a few. Much of what he invented did not even take form for decades to come...
