-
- A new
documentary about visionary scientist
and inventor
Nikola
Tesla.
-
-
- Nikola
Tesla (1856-1943)
was one of the most
fascinating scientists of the 20th century. He invented,
developed or
imagined the technology that brought us electricity, remote
control,
neon and fluorescent lighting, radio transmission and wireless
communications...all the devices that now connect the world of
information.
-
- Tesla was a brilliant and charismatic immigrant whose
talent
took him to the height of celebrity. He locked horns with Thomas
Edison, J. Pierpont Morgan, Guglielmo Marconi, and George Westinghouse.
Mark Twain and Fiorello LaGuardia praised his genius. They are all
characters
in this program, the very first to tell the full story of
Tesla's life
and work.
-
- Tesla was not a practical man. He gave his life to
realize
his visions, while others made millions with his inventions.
Tragically,
he died penniless and forgotten.
-
- Tesla, Master of Lightning
recognizes a great and misunderstood
man of science. Many new and
unknown details of Tesla's life have been
uncovered for this program.
Much of the story is told in Tesla's own words,
drawn from his
autobiographical and scientific writings.
-
- The life of Nikola Tesla is an
inspiring example of the
power of one man to battle the odds and change
the world with his revolutionary
ideas.
