His breakthrough came in alternating current, the basis of the electric grid and long-distance electrical transmission. This pitted him against Thomas Edison's direct current empire, and bitter patent battles ensued. But Tesla's technology was superior, and eventually he prevailed. Unfortunately, he had no business sense and could not capitalize on this success. His most advanced ideas were unrecognized for decades: forty years in the case of the radio patent; longer still for his ideas on laser beam technology. 600 10 $a Tesla, Nikola, $d 1856-1943. 650 0 $a Electrical engineers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Inventors $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Electrical engineering $x History. 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Constant, Charles, $e narrator. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409031651.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D94F900A9A0811E8AE30EB3197128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
