For Science Fiction Day, inventor Nikola Tesla and his ‘magnifying transmitter’

Science fiction becomes science fact. Tesla, the visionary

We approach today’s observance of Science Fiction Day through a route of science fact. Our photo today shows Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla, seated under his ‘magnifying transmitter’—an experimental power generator that used his Tesla coils to demonstrate the possibility of a safe, wireless electrical grid. While Tesla’s vision for his electrical system never materialized, many of Tesla’s concepts and designs would shape various technologies to come, including radio transmission, and even some fundamentals of the internet and web.
