Nikola Tesla 2

One of science's most amazing visionaries of all time, Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla
was considered a mathematical phenomenon since childhood, being able as a high school

This famous engineer and inventor was known for developing  the alternating-current (AC) electrical system widely used today and the discovery of the rotating magnetic field.  Tesla also proved  that the Earth can be used as an electrical conductor.
