An accurate account of the fascinating life of a genius, January 27, 2002
I have read many accounts of Nikola Tesla, his life's story, inventions, and sad demise of an amazing inventor, visionary, and genius. This PBS documentary is excellent and I recommend it highly to schools to teach the TRUTH, and the true inventor of radio. This documentary covers from birth to death of Nikola Tesla, and accurately portrays much of what I have read, and even more obscure facts on the man. The video goes beyond the death of Tesla and explains the everyday appliances around us sprung forth from the inventive mind of this man. His "death ray" is also examined and a good discussion of particle beam weaponry follows. Reagan's Star Wars program is also discussed, along with HAARP, the super secret microwave array in a remote part of Alaska. Tesla was truly a man who knew the secrets of electricity, some of his concepts some are only really beginning to understand. His thoughts on capturing free energy and transmitting it around the world was truly a humanitrian concept and the video explains how he was stopped by greedy capitalists and how he died a penniless man. His work continues to live through us all that are touched by wireless communications, electrical devices Tesla invented, and the fascination with resonance, a key to unlock the very secrets of nature's electric dynamo - the earth itself. I only regret this movie lasted only 90 minutes. I wished it had talked about his electric car, although they showed him in the vehicle, they didn't really talk about it. Get the video, you'll not be disappointed in this fascinating man! MagicBill High-Tech Magic
