Tesla was an eccentric scientist who disagreed with the theory of relativity and went reclusive and senile in his later years inventing Mega Death Rays and was regarded as a mad scientist by the populous.
So basically he's awesome. I've always been a fan.

Yeah tesla was amazing, his ideas where incredible, very few other inventors have created as many practical ideas as him, though divinci is prety up there too. But death rays and wireless electricity kinda trump balsa and canvas wings lol
Btw can I be part of the group too? lol

Nikola Tesla was brilliant, and tremendously unappreciated during his own lifetime.
Jack White thought so too, and references Tesla as an inspiration in his music, as well as referencing him directly in 'Astro', on The White Stripes' self titled album.

Theres a nikola tesla group? he was inspirational. I was particularly interested in his moves for de-centralised power facilities, ac/dc etc. One can only guess what else he was working upon on his untimely demise. Humanity lost a great mind with his passing.
I think they should have worked on mass marketing Tesla technology. Would make for a far more interesting world
We're talking about a man who found the resonant frequency of the earth and could, had the thought crossed his mind, have set off a series of earthquakes that literally would have torn the crust apart. Nuclear weapons kinda pale by comparison.

If you look at Edison you notice something... it was his COMPANY that 'invented' these things and not the man himself. Other people did all the inventing, but they where either in his employ, hence the company owned the patent, or the rights to the invention where bought out and then passed off as one of the companies own inventions. Even in a few cases, when the inventers wouldn't sell the company just ripped off the patent in any case! That led to more then a handful law suits against Edison that often ended with a back stabbing, that is Edison would settle with shares in his company and defacto 'buy' the patent... then slowly edge the original patent holder out of the company and be left holding the patent.
Tesla was one such scientist in the employ of the company right up to the point Edison personally back stabbed him. See Edison promised tens of thousands of dollars, at the time a princely sum, to Tesla if he used his inventions to improve on the devices Edison company was producing. After filling his end of the deal Tesla was told it was all 'American humour' and was NOT paid. Edison kept the improved devices though....
Just shows you what sort of man Edison was, and the Americans worship him as some sort of genius. The only thing he really was good at was ripping other people off! Then again, with the vast majority worshiping the rich it probably explains why he is consider the Americans greatest inventor.
It is like trying to say that Bill Gates is the greatest computer programmer ever even though all, including dos, of his 'inspirations' where written by other people. Marketing genius he is, but he is far from the worlds best computer programmer.
