He is the greatest inventor of all time (mechanical and electrical engineer, physicist and futurist), yet, he receives very little credit for so many of the things we use today. He tried to give the world free energy and of course the power elite, would have none of it. In addition, the the day he died the government ransacked his living quarters and took all his notes and everything else of value scientifically.
Born at the stroke 12:00 am with a clap of lightening (yes, that is literally the story). This brilliant Serbian had a photographic memory and was able to invent things in his mind and go straight to production without tinkering. In addition he spoke 7 languages fluently and had over 300 patents attributed to him.
He doesn't get enough credit. I'll spare you by not listing all his patents. But I suggest you read about this remarkable man.
Guys like this are true heroes...
