He discovered alternating current, fluorescent light, wireless power transmission; first developed

the principles of remote control, the basics of treatment with high frequency currents; built the first electric clock, a solar-powered engine and much more, having received more than 300 patents in different countries for his inventions. He invented the radio before Marconi and Popov, received a three-phase current before Dolivo-Dobrovolsky. All modern electric power industry would be impossible without its discoveries.
