tesla rocks :rocker
nikola tesla is THE innovator and inventor, the man behind the 20th century. we should think of him and thank him whenever we turn on the lights, start up our car, use our washing machines, press the buttons on our remote controls, refresh our web pages.... because tesla is the man behind all these, he thought of it all and made it possible. :!:
alternating current (AC voltage), electric motor, first hydroeletric powerplant (at niagara), radar technology, microwaves, radio (yes he was there first, not marconi), x-rays (again, he was there before rontgen), wireless communication - etc etc etc - just check it out:

in short, tesla was amazing. :o
and yet he's practically forgotten and hardly ever mentioned in the school books today :x
now here's an opportunity to try to bring him some well-deserved posthumous credit!
i'm in - why not you too? :)
