Really Hertz was the shizdizzle for rizzle.

He was also invented a duplicating teleporter and was the original Team Fortress Engineer.

Truly an astonishing career.

I loved this video, but I prefer to get my history lessons from drunk people. http://videosift.com/video/Drunk-History-Nikola-Tesla

He's right, David Bowie is the man!

AC 4 Life Yo.

now.. to be SLIGHTLY fair to Edison:

"On one of the more notable occasions, in 1903, Edison's workers electrocuted Topsy the elephant at Luna Park, near Coney Island, after she had killed several men and her owners wanted her put to death"

so, at the very least he didn't walk into a circus and think "Alright, what can I zap today?"

I totally had to go Google "bladeless turbine". Very interesting idea. It's what makes mechanical speedometers work.

This video has skewed the facts. When Tesla worked for Edison it was not as a "basic electrical engineer", his job was digging ditches for Edison outside his house: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gOR91oentQ

Obviously.

Tesla was THE man. Very underestimated.

wow tesla and edison both had two penises... or are they vaginas? either way, i learnt something today!

For those of you who follow the Assassin's Creed storyline, Thomas Edison wasn't just an asshole, he was a Templar. They had Tesla killed because he was working on a power plant to provide the world with free electricity -- and the Templars didn't want that at all.

They wanted a worldwide commercial empire that everyone was beholden to...
