More than 800 U.S. Patents in his name
Nikola Tesla invented the radio, radar, and remote controls, discovered
quarks, was awarded over 800 patents, and developed alternating current
and the technology to use it.
The humble gentleman-pugilist will be enclosed in the boxing ring with his
arch-nemesis, one-time employer, and rival inventor, one Thomas Edison.
While Thomas Edison was testing his electric chair on puppies and ponies,
Nikola Tesla dabbled in the eastern fighting arts, a kind of Oriental
boxing.
About Mr. Edison, Mr. Tesla said, "He had no hobby, cared for no sort of amusement of any kind and lived
in utter disregard of the most elementary rules of hygiene. His
method was inefficient in the extreme, for an immense ground had to be
covered to get anything at all unless blind chance intervened and, at
first, I was almost a sorry witness of his doings, knowing that just a
little theory and calculation would have saved him 90% of the labour.
But he had a veritable contempt for book learning and mathematical
knowledge, trusting himself entirely to his inventor's instinct and
practical American sense."
"This Saturday, 11th of December of the year two thousand and ten, we
will brawl not to establish the superiority of our rival electrical
systems, but instead to put on display for the viewing public, the
megalomania, sadism, and dastardly under-handedness of Thomas Edison, capitalist."
