Thnaks Mike. Tesla is one of the people I admire the most. What a mind. A shame he didn't have a good business sense and a bit of skepticism regarding his fellow mean.

I love what he calls Edison :)

When I first started working as an electronics technician back in '88, the company engineers decided to make a tesla coil and guess who was the goose that they got to hold the "remote" fluorescent tube when the thing was running... muggins here of course :)

Electronics Australia magazine had a series of articles about Tesla many years ago written by Tom Moffat, that were a very interesting read. Might have to dig those issue's out and re-read.
The Oatmeal is great too :thumbsup:

Sadly most people have no clue about Nikola Tesla. One of the greatest minds ever!

Cheers Mike, a very interesting read.

I'll have to find some books on him, a very fascinating man and well ahead of his time.

Cheers

Amazing that greed could have had him murdered.
