HIGH VOLTAGE                                                 AT HOME
                                                          Here, the Serbian-American scientist Nikola Tesla (see
                                                          pp.60–61) casually sits by one of his inventions, the
                                                          Tesla coil, as it sends powerful bursts of electricity
                                                          through the air. It worked at a very high frequency
                                                          to produce extremely high voltages and transmitted
                                                          electricity wirelessly.
