Many books have been written about him, many stories and possible and impossible theories told about him, but there is only one truth.  Nikola Tesla was a great scientist, the man without whose inventions we would hardly be able to live as we do. >>

During the first years of the twentieth century, there was indeed a large number of Serbian scientists, successful and renowned worldwide. >>

In electrical networks used in the production and distribution of electrical energy, the use of alternate current is prevalent.  The greatest credit for that certainly belongs to Nikola Tesla. >>

“I was fascinated by the description of Niagara Falls, which I carefully read – and in my imagination I pictured a large wheel moved by these cascades.  I told my uncle I would go to America and realize my project over there.  Thirty years later, I saw my ideas carried out at Niagara, and I admired the unfathomable mystery of mind.” >>

Although he dedicated a lot of time to work, he also had moments reserved for people who had a special place in his life. >>

Nikola Tesla came down in history as one of the great men who gave a name to one of the units in the system of measurement. >>

Tesla's greatest contribution to electrical engineering is in the field of energetics.  He invented the alternating current. >>

“Progress in this field gives me hope that I would await the realization of my greatest dream; namely, transport of power from station to station without the use of any kind of wire.” >>

The principal mainspring of the Second Technological Revolution is the introduction of alternating electric power, which profusely changed the manner of production.  We owe greatest gratitude for it to Nikola Tesla and his inventions. >>

One would think that someone like Tesla, who has done so much for the human kind, would be reasonable enough to secure his old age.  Whoever would think so does not know what kind of a person Tesla was. >>
