Description
Nikola Tesla was born at the stroke of midnight during a lightning storm. As a child, he loved playing with the animals on his family's farm in Serbia. This early fascination with the natural world would stay with him throughout his life. Tesla was an inventor since childhood, and his patents encompassed a wide range of technologies, including radar, remote-control systems, and wireless communications. His most famous invention, however, was the AC induction motor, which remains the standard for electric distribution today. This book tells the story of Tesla's life and inventions, exploring the intersection of his groundbreaking work and his private life.
