Yes it seems many paint a picture of Tesla which is simply wrong.
There seems a movement to set him aside.
I blame the relativitists they never talk well of him.
I raised Tesla once on a forum and all they could say was he was a poor business man, he died poor and had some strange ideas...if that is not sour grapes I don't know what is...also they link him to ratbag ideas as I believe an effort to minimise his greatness... It was years before he got credit for the radio...at school we were taught it was Marconi ....why was that?
I was not sure of his qualifications but I was confident he had some...I am glad you presented what I could not.
