I've seen a documentary several times about Tesla. Amazing mind, and generous heart.
Seems he never received full recognition for his achievements.
Tesla is to electricity what Glenn Curtis was to aviation.

Very true RC, very true. I think Tesla understood electricity more than all of the rest of them combined. Not saying any of their contributions were not great. Simple minds like mine need all the help they can get and they all contributed to helping. Well, maybe not Edison. He just had the bankers behind him and had enough entitlement mentality to take the work of others and claim as his own. But in the end Tesla won (as he should have) AC Vs. DC. I just hate he did not get the recognition he deserved while still living. I can't think of anyone that contributed more to modern society than Tesla. Maybe the inventor of the silicon chip but would they have gotten there without Tesla's previous work?
Two greats, Tesla and Hood.
