Speaker. things that we seem to take for granted today. such as electricity and electric lights. were extraordinary discoveries that immensely changed our everyday lives. Almost all Americans automatically think of men like Franklin and Edison as being the great contributors to these changes. but one man who also made significant contributions and is rarely recognized is Nikola Tesla. the man who discovered the practical applications of alternating currents. This year marks the 100th anniversary of Nikola Teslas arrival in the United States as a penniless Serbian immigrant. Once in the United States. he worked at finding different and useful applications of electricity. He patented the equipment that formed the system for generating and using the power from Niagara Falls.
