Nikola Tesla T-Shirt

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was a Serbian emigre and a hero of mine. His inventions fell into obscurity until relatively recently, but he is responsible for many discoveries and inventions (300 patents), including the Polyphase Induction Motor, A/C Dynamo Generator, wireless transmission of energy, Tesla Coil, and much more. In the late 1800's he vied with Edison in trying to promote the use of his Alternating Current vs Edison's Direct Current. Tesla won and we use A/C current today. Tesla also figured the resonant frequency of the Earth (later verified), spoke eight languages and had a photographic memory. Super Genius. I created this image using two public domain images which have been colourized, retouched, filtered, and blended in Photoshop.
