Right now I am watching a documentary about Nikola Tesla on the History
Channel.
Obviously, I am familiar with his work in electricity, notably the Tesla
Coil which led to transformers, but what I never knew was that he was
one strange dude. Many believe either a nut or a visionary, living and
understanding some things way before his time.

Perhaps too much of a visionary. Most of his work was dependent on
financier's money, and they wanted a return. Tesla wanted to produce
"free energy". I think most of his papers are still "classified" by the
military.
