Genius, inventor, and futurist, Nikola Tesla lead a fascinating life during which he accomplished more than many inventors could in two life times. He designed and created many ground-breaking inventions that are still in use to this day, the most famous of which are the rotating magnetic field, the tesla coil, the alternating current motor, and the radio, along with many ideas and concepts that he never had the chance to experiment with and perfect before passing away. He believed that invention is the single most important aspect for the progressive development of humanity; he saw beauty in the harnessing of the forces of nature for human needs. While his accomplishments were astounding, it is the efficiency and systematic nature of his mind and lifestyle that is the marvel that helped him achieve his greatness, which needs to be carried foreward.
