Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This program reveals the discoveries of a forgotten genius, many of which went virtually unnoticed for nearly a century. Nikola Tesla is considered the father of our modern technological age and one of the most mysterious and controversial scientists in history. How did this obscure visionary from what is now Yugoslavia lay the foundation for modern communications and energy research? Nikola Tesla s contributions to science and technology include the invention of radio, television, radio-astronomy, remote control and robotics, radar, medical x-ray and the wireless transmission of electricity. Many of Nikola Tesla's inventions were and in some cases still are considered a little too revolutionary by government agencies and the power brokers of the time and are discussed in detail in this program. Encyclopedia Britannica lists Nikola Tesla as one of the top ten most fascinating people in history. So why is he virtually unknown to the general public? This program is a penetrating study of the life and mind of a scientific superman who, against all odds, dedicated his life to the task of designing and improving technology for the service and advancement of humanity.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for seeing some of Tesla's inventions but poor quality transfer from VHS and a bit boring., December 24, 2005
I just viewed this 50 minute long DVD and found it kind of boring but useful regarding seeing some of Tesla's actual inventions at work and some of the real documents, by and about him, displayed. It also shows the inside of the Tesla museum in Belgrade. The PBS Tesla documentary, Tesla - Master of Lightning, is much more interesting and goes much deeper into Tesla's life (it's much longer in duration). As well, this DVD is a poor quality transfer of the VHS tape; it has video dropouts and missing pieces, similar to what happens when a film has damaged sections chopped out, causing jump cuts where some information is lost. I cover Tesla at the beginning of a course I teach about information technology and, along with the PBS Tesla documentary, will use brief segments of this DVD to further illustrate Tesla's inventions and importance; past, present and future.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very satisfying (though not great) DVD from video tranfer on an amazingly blessed man's life, April 26, 2007

Tesla, who died in 1943 was an amazing amn
that we used to produce here in Western
Civilization, until the big Corporations
started to clamp down on independent inven-
tors who wanted to build a better mouse
trap! There is not too many more sad fights
in the world of inventions than the ones
between Tesla and Edison! This movie tells
a very complete story!
