Quite possibly THE greatest electrical mind ever, he was responsible for inventing the means to not only supply the power that your computer is using right now from the generator, but also is resposible for the tesla coil that makes a CRT monitor possible. There'd never have been computers without him! It's also responsible for the fact that you can just turn a key and start your car.

He also created the greatest artificial lightning ever - in 1899! He invented the technology for transmitting voice and perhaps more complex data over the air (radio), AC power, the induction motor, and many other great things.
