Nikola Tesla, although technically "wrong" in many of his observations, was a visionary who, with the help of George Westinghouse, won the AC/DC battle with Edison which allowed power to be generated by Niagara Falls and feed the new incandescent lamps in New York City, which replaced Edison's dangerous arc-lamps.

His contributions to electrical engineering at such an early time in the history of same, continues to amaze many.

Cheers,
