Mad scientist, forward thinking genius, and so many more
words could describe Nikola Tesla. Much of what the world knows and thinks
about electricity is due to Tesla. His fans are legion, many making the trip to
Colorado Springs to walk where he walked, see the mountain that played a role
in his work. Although he died in obscurity and poverty, Tesla is now known and
revered by so many. Perhaps the Tesla Coil is one of his best known
'inventions' showing up in films and television. A pioneer well worth knowing
and remembering.
