A brilliant scientist and mysterious inventor, who showed an interest in engineering and physics from childhood. Nikola Tesla - a man who laid the foundation for a century of discoveries and paved the way to light for many interesting and sometimes crazy ideas. Despite worldwide fame, his name is still shrouded in mystery and surrounded by conspiracy theories. Yet, all this has not tarnished his reputation, supported by over 300 patents for inventions. The famous Tesla coil, capable of creating lightning, the world's first remote-controlled robotic boat, the electric motor with rotating magnetic fields that spawned many modern devices, as well as various electrical therapy apparatus - these and many of his other creations are based on the idea of using alternating current. The experience of working on these inventions inspired Tesla to build the Wardenclyffe Tower, which, according to the scientist's plan, was to enable wireless transmission of electricity. In his autobiography, Nikola Tesla discusses a life completely dedicated to the natural sciences. His thoughts and unique way of thinking reveal not only the personality of the scientist but also the essence of his inventions, some of which have received well-deserved recognition and application in the modern world over the years.
