Nikola Tesla is probably spinning in his Grave

[duncang]

8. Nicola Tesla

Inventor of the radio. Yep, the patent office did eventually say he invented it first. Marconi improved on it and had the funding to implement it. Inventor of remote control. He showed it off at the Madison Square Gardens. He tried selling the idea of using his system to control biplanes remotely. At the time enemy airfields were close together because of the planes limited range. A operator could control by sight. The military turned him down because that wasn’t manly or whatever other macho excuse they had.

First alternating current motor and engineered the first ac power station at Niagara Falls. He accomplished a lot more.

Westinghouse didn’t treat him much better than Edison did. Died penniless.
