Modern Marvels. Mad Electricity
Description
Nikola Tesla electrified the world, but his bizarre vision of the future branded him as a mad scientist. A century ago, Tesla created energy-efficient light bulbs, foresaw today's oil consumption issues, and the need for alternative energies like geothermal and solar power. Can the keys to a brighter future be found in the long neglected writings of this discredited genius?
