For today dear “TL” friends is same serial,
but something Special again, Nikola Tesla...
Shot was taken at N. Falls side of USA... -16C. Speed: 1250, F: 6,3...

Nikola Tesla July 10, 1856 – c. January 7, 1943 was a Serbo - American scientist, who developed the idea of Tesla Generators, thus creating one of the very significant scientific differences of the few between “here and there”. Tesla's scientific innovation is often credited with the second industrial revolution. It was through his work that many of the principles of alternating current electricity was developed, culminating in his Tesla Generators on Niagara.

Tesla was fluent or conversant in many languages including Serbian-Croatian, English, Czech, Hungarian, French, German, Latin, and Italian.

Nikola was the son and grandson of Serbian - Eastern Orthodox Priests, growing up in Austro-Hungarian, latest Yugoslavia. Tesla in 1875 at the age of 21 he went to the Austria Politechnic to study electricity, and was enamoured. In 1881 he was involved in the first spread of telephones through Austro-Dalmatia, and helped to run the central telephone exchange.
In 1882, he moved to Paris, France, where he worked for the Continental Edison Company developing improvements to electrical devices. Here he worked under the tutelage of Charles Batchelor, who encouraged the growth of Tesla's genius and whose recommendation placed him with Thomas Alva Edison.

Tesla invented not just one but many things which revolutionized the world, not the least of his inventions is the ac electric motor which has changed the world. He also invented radio and radar. His Tesla Coil is used in every TV set. He instituted lead shielding to keep people safe around x-ray machines. He gave us the knowledge needed to produce the Electron-Microscope.

There are things he invented which we, today, do not know how he did it. Including a wireless source of alternating current, electricity, from space, enough to power a car, a large ship, a train, it was limitless. This, and other things he did and spoke of, have given others the incentive to experiment and discover/invent things that no one would have thought of otherwise.
