Ni Marconi invent� la radio ni Edison la luz el�ctrica. Se las robaron a Nikola Tesla, el mayor inventor de todos los tiempos. Obra suya son la corriente alterna, los motores el�ctricos, las bombillas, los robots, el control remoto, el radar, el microondas, el microscopio electr�nico, la diatermia, los misiles, el acelerador de part�culas…, as� hasta setecientas patentes. Pero su proyecto m�s ambicioso choc� con la codicia humana. Quiso iluminar la Tierra con electricidad libre, gratuita y sin cables. Aseguraba que sab�a c�mo conseguirlo, pero no encontr� ning�n magnate dispuesto a financiar un sue�o que funcionar�a sin contadores y no reportar�a grandes beneficios econ�micos. Desde ese momento, lo silenciaron. Le tacharon de loco. Y aquel que hab�a enriquecido a tantos acab� solo y pobre. Hab�a nacido en un mundo movido por el vapor y alumbrado por el gas. �l lo cambi� para siempre. Lo encendi� y lo puso en marcha con el �mpetu de los electrones. Pero sigue sin aparecer en la mayor�a de los libros escolares. �Podemos decir que fue un santo? Muri� virgen -no se le conocieron amantes- y m�rtir por culpa de la mezquindad de los poderosos y el olvido de todos. Una historia muy triste. Va siendo hora de que Nikola Tesla ocupe en nuestro imaginario el lugar que merece.
