Nicola Tesla's inventions in 3D

If you don't know who this guy is, then you should. Have you ever heard of AC power? You know, the power of alternating current that keeps our lights on across the world? Yeah, Tesla invented that. He had a dream and an actual invention to supply the world with power when J. P. Morgan, his financial backer, pulled the plug on the Wardenclyffe Tower due partly to the fact that if transmit power through the air then then there is no way of metering it, no way to make money... Was it ever really possible? hmm...

He also invented radio (Marconi got the Nobel Prize for it though), found X-rays, invented radio controlled vehicles, mechanical igniting system for internal combustion cars (spark plugs), founded the Tesla Effect (the movement of energy through space and matter, not just thought the production of voltage through conductor), invented a directed energy weapon or the death ray (it was never produced ), and theorized flying vehicles running off of electro-mechanic energy. Thats a lot of stuff, and really only scratches the surface of how amazing this man was. What would it have been like if he had that Bill Gate's type money?
