There are very few scientists who can claim to be better than the Serbian American, Nikola Tesla. He is the one who is credited with the modern alternating current electricity supply system. He actually worked for Thomas Edison during his earlier years but then resigned after failing to redesign his inefficient generators and motors.

In 1887 Tesla built the AC induction motor, and his high-power, high-voltage experiments laid the groundwork for the invention of the radio. He was a brilliant scientist and his quirky nature managed to earn him the title of “the mad scientist”.
