NIKOLA TESLA: “I don't care that they stole (украли) my idea. I care that
they don’t have any of their own.”
Nikola Tesla was an inventor (изобретатель), physicist (физик), electrical
engineer and futurist (футурист) who died at the age of 86 in 1943.
He is best known for inventing (изобретение) Alternating Current
Electrical Supply (электропитание переменным током) (AC), the
electricity flow system (система подачи электроэнергии) that every
electrically powered object uses to this day. So whenever you use a lamp or
watch TV, you have Nikola Tesla to thank.
Tesla was known for his odd (странное) behavior and phobias. For example,
he felt that he received (получал) electromagnet signals from aliens
(инопланетян) and his biggest phobia was germs (микробы). He was
determined to create a germ-free society with free electricity.
