10 July is the birthday of Nikola Tesla, American electrician and inventor. Born in Smilijan, now in Croatia but then part of the Austrian Empire, Tesla was the inventor of wireless, the induction motor and championed the use of alternating current electricity (over the more dangerous direct current).
