Nikola Tesla?

Question

Intriqued by the Prestige, I researched Nikola Tesla, the little known scientist that introduced science that was doubted then but is used now, like wireless communication and alternating currents. I know that he had many fanatical ideas about science, but were some of them? Were they ever carried out or used? Also, was he really rivals with Edison?

Answer 1

Answer 2

The Tesla coil...some huge tower that created electricity so powerful that the electricity could be used to power devices distant from the tower without wires or connections to it
