Tesla was a genius. It's rumoured that many of his ideas were suppressed because they were too useful or revolutionary, and could change theway that electricity is used in such a way that it would upset the status quo.

Tesla was way ahead of the curve but was also a poor business man who failed to protect his intellectual property. The book 'The Man Who Invented the Twentieth Century' is a great read for anyone interested
