The Mysterious Mr Tesla

It was Tesla, not Edison, who invented the method of transmitting electricity which makes the 20th century work. In the 1890s Tesla also demonstrated the wireless two years before Marconi. Now a growing number of Tesla enthusiasts claim that his later research was 80 years ahead of its time.
