Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla, the man credited as the inspiration for radio, robots, and even radar, has been dubbed the patron saint of contemporary electricity. Tesla's inventions included alternating current channeling, fluorescent and neon lighting, wireless telegraphy, and the massive turbines that harnessed the power of Niagara Falls. The phrase 'ahead of his time' is used too loosely and too often nowadays, but in the case of Nikola Tesla, this expression barely describes this man's intellect. This series aims to shed light on not just his life but also his inventions, his beliefs, the people who influenced him, and his legacy. Listen to the astonishing awe-inspiring yet tragic life story of the brilliant inventor, engineer, and futurist known as the Wizard.
