Tesla’s mind was matched only by his ego and his mouth. It is too bad he had millions of mediocre minds and some bright ones too, lined up to fight his every effort. The man literally oozed technology out of every orifice. Nobody has come close to repeating the level of technological advancement he spit out. He thought the box up! Kudos to him for telling the Nobel prize committee they weren’t qualified to honor the likes of himself. Shame on him for turning down the prize money and leaving so many of his Ideas untested due to lack of funds.

Actually, Kurzweil may very well surpass Tesla in the end for ‘outside the box’ ideas, certainly surpass him in credibility! George Westinghouse knew that, like harnessing some of his ideas, harnessing Tesla would prove profitable.

Many inventors are eccentric....look at Bill Gates!
