Editorial Reviews

Nikola Tesla is considered the father of our modern technological age. This program reveals the discoveries of a forgotten genius, many of which went unnoticed for nearly a century.

How did this obscure visionary from what is now Yugoslavia lay the foundation for modern communication – and which of his inventions were considered a little too revolutionary by government agencies and the power brokers of the time.

Among his discoveries are: fluorescent light, the laser beam, wireless communications, wireless transmission of electrical energy, remote control, robotics, Tesla’s turbines and vertical take off aircraft.

Tesla is the father of the radio and the modern electrical transmission system. Tesla registered over 700 patents worldwide. His vision included power from the sea, exploration of solar energy, the discovery of cosmic radio waves, and the use of the ionosphere for scientific purposes.

He foresaw interplanetary communications and satellites.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to the world's greatest inventor., March 30, 1999

This review is from: Nikola Tesla - Genius Who Lit the World [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Nikola Tesla has not been given his place in the history books. However, with the video "The Genius Who Lit The World" he is getting the credit which he deserves. Tesla is the inventor of alternating current, which is in use today (not Edison's direct current which reached only the few rich). The video is a true documentary covering his many contributions to the world, such as his 2 phase poly motor as well as his inventions of flurescence and robotics. As a neighbor of his Shoreham, Long Island 1901 laboratory, I have a deep respect for him. I have had the pleasure of interviewing several people who have met Mr. Tesla and have written articles for a local newspaper. I am a Board Trustee of the Friends of Long Island Wireless History. It is our aim to establish a museum about Long Island's wonderful wireless history. This video will whet your appetitie to learn more about this genius.
