What is the truth about 'the lost secrets' of the mysterious Yugoslav-American genius, NikolaTesla? It was Tesla, not Edison, who invented the method of transmitting electricity which makes the 20th century work. And, back in the 1890s, Tesla also demonstrated wireless two years before Marconi, electric lamps without wires, and radio-controlled machinery.
Now a growing number of Tesla enthusiasts claim that his later research was 80 years ahead of its time. Did he find a way to make ball lightning? A secret weapon for use in submarine warfare? A method of remotely controlling human personality? Some of Tesla's most spectacular and hair-raising experiments are recreated by presenter Robert Symes as he explores the world of this forgotten genius
