A lot of what we do can be traced back to him.

Tesla was the man allright.

Those of us in the electrical field know how great he was but I'm surprised that he is not better known to the average person.

I think when they look back ( sometime in the future) that his contributions will be considered even greater than Edison's. Just an opinion.

Tesla was probably the more intelligent of the two, Edison was definitely more motivated by fame & wealth IMHO.

And that's why you hear more about Edison than Tesla.

It is Nikola Tesla's birthday today.

One of the giants of our field.
But an unsung hero.

Yes, Tesla made tremendous contributions to the advancement of electricity. Sadly he got the shaft and died broke.
