Google’s home page image for today, July 10th, is a Tesla Coil in celebration of the inventor Nikola Tesla, whose birthday is today and for whom our client Tesla Motors is named after. From Wikipedia, “…Tesla contributed in varying degrees to the establishment of robotics, remote control, radar and computer science, and to the expansion of ballistics, nuclear physics, and theoretical physics. In 1943, the Supreme Court of the United States credited him as being the inventor of the radio…” He also apparently developed devices that led to modern-day X-rays, AC electricity, systems for wireless communications and concepts for electrical vehicles.
