Nikola Tesla Commemorative Banknote. Serbia 100 Dinara issued by Narodna Banka Srbije in 2003

Nikola Tesla (1856 – 1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist who is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. More than 100 years ago, Tesla anticipated the age of wireless communication and wireless power transmission.

 

"He was the Mozart of scientists. His ideas came out fully formed. That is his genius. . . He had the mind of a scientist, but he had the voice of a prophet." [David Grubin, writer and producer of a 2016 PBS documentary about Nikola Tesla]

 

Here is a link to another documentary titled "Tesla: Master of Lightning" produced in 2000, and also broadcast on PBS:

"This documentary does a wonderful job of conveying the genius that was Nikola Tesla. Watch this documentary and then look around your house. You'll be amazed in the ways in which Tesla impacts our everyday lives. His death ray is also examined and a good discussion of particle beam weaponry follows. Reagan's Star Wars program is also discussed, along with HAARP, the super secret microwave array in a remote part of Alaska.

 

"Tesla was truly a man who knew the secrets of electricity. His thoughts on capturing free energy and transmitting it around the world was truly a humanitarian concept and the video explains how he was stopped by greedy capitalists and how he died as a penniless man.

 

"Like many geniuses, Tesla was not a conventional man. He gave his life to realize his visions, while others made millions with his inventions. Tragically, he died nearly forgotten."

Tesla Motors was named after him and perhaps Tesla's image should be on USA's currency too.

 

(The formula on the banknote is used to derive magnetic field strength T, named after Tesla. One tesla is equal to one weber per square meter, where a weber is the unit of magnetic flux. For example, the magnetic field strength at the Earth's surface ranges from 25 to 65 microteslas.)
