Tesla - Master of Lightening
He died in poverty while other got rich from his inventions
He built the first generator at Niagara Falls
They say his discoveries are still being kept secret by the CIA
This doc taught me about electricity
as I watched the doc I would pause to look stuff up
IE what the fuck is AC and DC
why do we make AC at Niagara Falls instead of DC (there was a battle over this as Edison wanted to make DC)
WTF happens is the volts are increased by a stepup transformer so this decreases the amps because of the formula watts = volts * amps so there is less loss of energy as it travels down the wires because the amps are less then volts are reduced to 120 at the end of the line so it will not fry your house and AC can step up and down better than DC
Tesla was the archetypical mad genius and they have named a car after him
Although a Ladies man he never married because he was obsessive compulsive IE he could not touch hair or jewelry so he neutered himself
he tried to contact the dead
would make lightening come out of his head
