Nikola Tesla
was an
inventor and a mechanical and electrical engineer. He was one
of the most important contributors to the birth of commercial
electricity and radio communications, and is best known for
his many revolutionary developments in the field of
electromagnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Tesla's patents and theoretical work formed the basis of
modern alternating current (AC) electric power systems,
including the polyphase system of electrical distribution and
the AC motor. Tesla's fame rivaled that of any other inventor
or scientist in history, but because of his eccentric
personality and his seemingly unbelievable and sometimes
bizarre claims about possible scientific and technological
developments, Tesla was ultimately ostracized and regarded as
a mad scientist.
Tesla's
wish was to help all of humanity with technology, but his
financier J.P. Morgan did not see his plans as one that would
bring profit delivering free energy for everyone and therefore
abandoned Tesla, leaving this exceptional genius who we have
to thank for bringing electricity to our homes and all forms
of wireless communication impoverished and unacknowledged.

Tesla's Discovery of Radiant Energy
After
Tesla's work with alternating currents was completed, Tesla
switched over completely to the study of radiant impulse
currents. Seeing that the effect could grant humanity enormous
possibilities. This new electrical force effect of what was a
preeminent discovery of great historical significance. Despite
this fact, few academicians grasped its significance as such
they could not accept Tesla's excited announcements. Academes
argued that Tesla's effect could not exist based on Maxwell's
prior equations written in their text books. They insisted
that Tesla revise his statements. Tesla's mysterious effect
could not have been predicted by Maxwell because Maxwell did
not incorporate it when formulating his equations. How could
he have done so, when the phenomenon was just discovered by
Tesla?
Understanding the importance of the discovery of radiant
energy and it's implications, Tesla continued to study and
implement the radiant electrical action, his patents from this
period to the end of his career were filled with the
terminology equated with radiant electrical impulses alone.
