520 From wireless energy to remote controls to green power
nineteenth-century inventor Nikola Tesla had an
unprecedented impact on the way the modern world works. In
this electrifying program get inside the complex mind of a
man who amassed hundreds of patents in his lifetime--many
of which affect our lives on a daily basis. Travel to
Niagara Falls where in 1893 Tesla installed his new system
of alternating electrical current (AC)--a revolutionary
form of power that is now the global standard. At an
abandoned site on Long Island Sound take a private tour of
the forgotten ruins of Tesla's dream experiment--a huge
tower he hoped would play a role in wirelessly powering
the world. Finally learn how Tesla anticipated the
possibilities of renewable forms of energy including
geothermal and solar power more than a century ago.
Featuring expert interviews and fascinating demonstrations
of some of Tesla's amazing inventions MODERN MARVELS
provides a rare look at this troubled and brilliant
scientist.
