Happy Birthday, Nikola Tesla!

Happy 153rd birthday to one the the greatest scientific minds ever. Without this man's work, we wouldn't have any of the modern electronics we take for granted. Radio, florescent lighting, any kind of electronic device which uses a high frequency coil to operate, AC current, and on and on and on. Computers, satellite and the internet wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the work done by Tesla. Without him our world would be a very different place. For the contributions this man made to technology, he's not given nearly enough credit in our school system. They teach about that thief Marconi who infringed on Tesla's radio patent and tried to pawn it off as his own. (The Supreme Court later upheld Tesla's patent for the radio.) They talk a lot about Edison who wasn't half the scientist Tesla was. Edison was a jealous bastard to boot, who resorted to thuggery on numerous occasions. Here's to you, Nikola!

But Edison invented the automatic hammer.
 
Tesla was also responsible for his little earthquake machine.

He put his little vibrator in his coat-pocket and went out to hunt a half-erected steel building. Down in the Wall Street district, he found one&endash;ten stories of steel framework without a brick or a stone laid around it. He clamped the vibrator to one of the beams, and fussed with the adjustment until he got it.

Tesla said finally the structure began to creak and weave and the steel-workers came to the ground panic-stricken, believing that there had been an earthquake. Police were called out. Tesla put the vibrator in his pocket and went away. Ten minutes more and he could have laid the building in the street. And, with the same vibrator he could have dropped the Brooklyn Bridge into the East River in less than an hour
