Tesla: the man and the myth
9 August 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I own this movie and recommend it to the Teslafile. This is a strange film with the dialog in both English and Croation without subtitles. It does a good job of illustrating much of the enigmatic Tesla's life and career as a scientist and inventor. The portrayal of his battle Edison and the "War of the Currents" very well done. As a previous reviewer has stated many of Tesla's inventions are all around us including the afore mentioned as motor and the high voltage supply in television sets. His work on energy delivery without wires or other conductors is still poorly understood but NASA has demonstrated a system very similar to Tesla's concept for powering spacecraft and the proposed space elevator. One of his most remarkable predictions is that power that is universally available in the cosmos will eventually drive all of our machines. This may be a forecast of energy from quantum fluctuations and vacuum energy as predicted by quantum physics.
