The Tesla Society refers to him as the "Genius who lit the world." He studied in Graz, Austria with an intent to specialize in physics and math, but quickly took on an obsession with electricity. He for some time, worked for the Continental Edison Company in Paris, creating Dynamo's. His dream of working for Thomas Edison was realized in the early 1880's. As time went on, a bitter disagreement and a slue of technical wars broke out between he and Edison. He would suggest or rather publicise that Edisons lamps were too week with the direct current route.


 

in 1888, he introduced his ideas of alternating current as it relates to motors and transformers.  And, while there was a clear winner and looser in this war of the minds, the overall result was a win for technology and the harnessing and production of electricity.

So you are now asking (if you have not seen recent documentaries) what/who is Tunguska. In 1908, at roughly 715am (local time) on June 30th, an explosion roughly about 1,000 times as powerful as the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima that registered >5 on the richter scale rocked the what is now the Krasnoyarsk Krai region of Russia.


 

So why is this electical genius in the same article about a catastrophic event whose destruction mimiced that of a nuclear explsion ? It has been theorized that he or one of his inventions may have caused the explosion. You be the judge.
