Gotta toss Telsa’s name out there, as we wouldn’t be using wireless electronic devices without his work on AC power.
Tesla was a brilliant fellow all right. Very creative, very strange and riddled with OCD.
In his day he was the worlds smartest crackpot... and I don’t mean that as a put-down.
His discovery of the AC motor had the mark of true genius. A simple idea that no one else seemed to be able to think of.
