Tesla was a kewl mo-fo. Paleotech 02: The Man Who Built Tomorrow. He was a bona fide genius and self-avowed benefactor of humanity, who gave away one of the single most important inventions ever patented so it could be developed for our benefit. He was a practical mystic who harbored the oddest imaginable ideas about the energy of thought, life forces, and the propagation of electrical energy. He was an inspired theorist who imagined the most awesome machines, and a skilled mechanic who made them real and tamed them with his own hands. When Nikola Tesla died in 1943 he left behind an enduring legacy, a haunting list of unfulfilled dreams, and a vast enigma. [kuro5hin.org]
