Abstract

Last year the scientific community celebrated Nikola Tesla’s 150th birthday. As part of this celebration, PEO declared 2006 the “Year of Nikola Tesla.” He is recognized as one of the world’s greatest inventors and engineers of all time.

Life Magazine has named him among the 100 most famous people of the last 1000 years.  The electrification of Ontario, North America and the entire world started after Tesla invented AC polyphase generators and motors. You can learn more about this remarkable electrical savant at the Tesla Memorial website http://www.teslasociety.com/

The presenter will be Marc Seifer (http://www.marcseifer.com/) who is the author of the book “Wizard: The life and times of Nikola Tesla”.  This leading authority on the life and work of Nikola Tesla explains how this late 19th to early 20th century innovator continues to be a source of inspiration for today’s engineers.
