This page is dedicated to Nikola Tesla, Serbian born Yugo-American great scientist and genius of electricity who granted us the light and civilised life with over 700 inventions and AC electric power we have been enjoying since 1895. The Sun has been great Tesla's inspiration as the Sun inspires my music. Thank you Tesla, thank you Sun!

Essential reading: "The Man Who Invented The Twentieth Century" by Dr Robert Lomas, Bradford University, Yorkshire.

With a big Thanks to Dr Robert Lomas and with his permission, here is a finale cut from his book:

"I sit here surrounded by Tesla’s legacy: my electric-powered computer at my side in my study, lit by fluorescent electric light, heated by water pumped by an AC induction motor, listening to music broadcast on my mains-powered radio. As my scanner and Internet modem sit on desk, ready to send and receive pictures and messages round the world, I am using Tesla’s legacy.

When you next see a line of electricity pylons carrying the power that grants you a civilised life, put one hand in your pocket and spare a moment to thank Nikola Tesla, the lonely, forgotten, long-winded, obsessive, brilliant man who gave this to you."

Tesla’s inventions include: Radio, The Hydroelectric Generator, AC Power, Polyphase System, Fluorescent Light, The Rotary Engine, The Bladeless Turbine, Radio Imaging - the precursor to radar…

Tesla summed up his own life in these few words:

"I continually experience an inexpressible satisfaction from the knowledge that my polyphase system is used throughout the world to lighten the burdens of mankind and increase comfort and happiness, and that my wireless system, in all its essential features, is employed to render a service to and bring pleasure to people in all parts of the world. "

Only a true genius and a truly beautiful human being could express their God sent mission in this way. Nothing more is taken for granted than the electric power likewise denied, exploited, suppressed and "forgotten" man who granted us the mother and father of all our modern technologies and civilisation.

Turn off all the electric power in your home for the moment, sit down, close your eyes and just imagine your life without it! B.S.
