Nikola Tesla invented the first alternating current (AC) motor and developed
AC generation and transmission technology. Tesla was described to be a
modest man, with a keen sense of humor. His soft spoken and assuring voice
held the listener's attention. Tesla's biggest dream for the world was to
electrify it. More specifically, he dreamed about wireless electricity
transmission across long distances — a step further from his innovations in
