While the Tesla Coil is the most popular hobby item of Nicola's inventions
it is farr from his only contribution. The worlds radio transmission, world
power production are large gifts to man kind. Even Marconi used tesla's
pattens to produce wireless transmission ( and stole credit) Today's
pheneumatic EMP proof computers used by the military and the bladeless
turbines used to transport rock dust in cement plants today are invented by
Tesla. It is hard to get a hobby group started  making infra sonic death ray
shields since they dont have any bang pop or light flashes. in fact you can
not even hear them you can only test the results and eulagize the failiers.
