Tesla, Dr. Nikola (1856-1943)

These air core high-frequency resonate coils were the predecessors of systems from radio to radar and medical magnetic resonance imaging devices." from this nice Tesla page - This information was later used to confirm his patent for radio which he received posthumously in 1946, 3 years after his death - from this Tesla page; Kit Traverse working for, 97; Wikipedia entry; Read this article about Tesla's Death Ray and the Tunguska Event...
