Nikola Tesla was a genius kook... incredibly interesting person that you may enjoy researching. He was a Croatian immigrant who worked for Tho mas Edison for a bit, and designed the power grid at Niagra Falls in addition to many other electrical engineering inventions. He died in the 1940's.

Nikolai Tesla was a prominent early pioneer in electrical engineering. In some parts of Europe and particularly in some parts of Yahoo Answers he is worshipped as a god.
He was similar in his fields of interest to Edison but Edison had a much-better press agent. Edison was a tireless worker but rarely had real insights into what he was working on. Press coverage trumps engineering skills so poor Nikki doesn't get enough credit.

He was born in Croatia in 1865 and he went to US and started working for Edison. He left this job and was never a friend to Edison.
Edisons light bulbs was constructed for decent current electricity. Tesla invented the amplified current electricity.
Just google on the man....
