Summary

Of the 212 patents granted to Tesla, 110 are still in use today. He invented the alternating current motor, the arc light and telephone amplifier. Nikola Tesla was brilliant beyond comprehension, and yet his life was marked with ups and downs as dynamic as a sine wave. He has become a mystic cult figure who has unfortunately become a mere caricature of who he really was. With Electrical Genius, Arthur Beckhard takes a long look at the man and the legend.
