He was an ambassador of alternative current and the inventor of polyphased generators and motors that spearheaded the distribution of electricity and enabled unimaginable growth of applied technology. Tesla’s wireless devices were many decades ahead of his time and his dreams of wireless transmission of energy continue to intrigue our imagination and still present an unresolved challenge for the scientific community.Just as the world will wait a long time for another genius such as Nikola Tesla, we will forever miss the author of this book, Professor Aleksandar Marinčić (1933 – 2011), a full-time member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts and an extraordinary insider and expert in Tesla‘s work.
