VI. Tesla. The Magician of Electricity
Nikola Tesla was a scientist who, with his important inventions, managed to reserve himself an unparalleled place in the history of mankind. He was born in the mid-nineteenth century and helped modernise the world with his work and the many discoveries based on electricity. It is to him whom we owe the light of our houses! Many of the advances of the last 150 years are based on his inventions – And it is not by chance, for example, that the most modern car brand of electronics today has adopted Tesla’s name for this reason.
