Tesla studied engineering and physics but ultimately never received a degree, gaining experience by working in telephony and electric power. His inventions and contributions to the modern world, while long under appreciated, are truly staggering and inspired. In fact many inventors jumped off from the foundations he laid down and went on to take the credit.<\/p>\n

A man that can really only be covered in long form,\u00a0Mental Floss<\/u><\/a>\u00a0succinctly covers the basics: \u201cTesla [omitted] conducted pioneering work in electric light, electric motors, radio, x-ray, remote control, radar, wireless communications, and robotics, and created his famous transformer, the\u00a0Tesla coil<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tesla ultimately strived to utilize the earth to transmit power wirelessly to all. While he endeavoured to make this possible he was in a race to be the first to transmit messages across the Atlantic. Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi got their first when he successfully transmitted the letter\u00a0\u2018s<\/em>\u2019 in 1901. Soon after Tesla\u2019s funding from J.P. Morgan ran dry. Tesla\u2019s intention was not only to transmit messages wirelessly, but also\u00a0telephony<\/a>,\u00a0facsimile images<\/a>, and eventually power, however the continuance of his\u00a0Wardenclyffe Tower\u00a0<\/u><\/a>fell asunder in 1906 when no further funding could be garnered.<\/p>\n

While Tesla didn\u2019t get the chance to complete every futuristic idea that flashed before him, his curiosity, dedication and tireless efforts to develop and discover is unsurpassed. He had countless concepts that were never built including a thought camera! Wild!<\/p>\n

Tesla was noted as saying of himself: \u201cIt seems that I have always been ahead of my time.\u201d The modern world would certainly be a very different place were it not for Tesla\u2019s brilliant mind.<\/p>\n
