Tesla: Man Out of Time

Tesla: Man Out of Time presents the biography and remarkable life of Nikola Tesla, one of the most notable inventors and engineers of all time, while also highlighting his bumpy relationship with Thomas Edison and his heavy childhood.

Hard work and passion combined prove that there truly is a timeless formula for success. And Nikola Tesla harnessed this combination to its full extent. He was born and raised in Croatia and his future revolved around becoming part of the clergy or the Austro-Hungarian army. But his destiny took a drastic spin.

His genius and constant desire to study physics, and electricity, and discover the science behind motos took him to America. He went through illness, a poorly paid job in a post office, and disputes with his professors who didn’t believe in his ideas. but He eventually managed to break through these setbacks.

Once in America, he set foot in Thomas Edison’s office, which seemed like a great opportunity at first. Nikola redesigned and improved Edison’s direct current generators (DC) that powered New York, but never got the money benefits out of it.

He then resigned and went on his quest to develop and implement alternative current generators (AC), which brought him fame, more money than he was initially looking for, and many patents. He was a household name in America and all over the world, as magazines were mentioning his name all over and he was getting prizes and nominations.

Even after Nikola Tesla achieved fame, and money, and praised all over the world, he didn’t stop pursuing his passion. In contrast, his lab was working harder than ever to discover yet another groundbreaking technology: radio communication.

Tesla went on a quest to implement wireless technology through radio waves that he believed existed in the stratosphere. He was right. Earth’s outer layer could indeed carry electricity wirelessly. Soon after, he gave the first public demonstration of his success at the National Electric Light Association.

Tesla knew how to impress a crowd, so he proved himself by delivering a wireless message to a person sitting 30 feet away using a spark transmitter. Unfortunately, soon after his groundbreaking presentation, his lab burned out, wiping away years of progress and revolutionary findings.

Following a modest childhood, part of Tesla’s life was all about skyrocketing growth and tremendous success. However, once his lab burned down, it became increasingly difficult for him to secure further investments. All his preceding discoveries fail to materialize.

Tesla was a man ahead of his time, but his further groundbreaking discoveries were not something investors were interested in anymore. They just didn’t share his vision like they used to, which caused plenty of frustration and depressive feelings for the…
