..He was a brilliant scientist. He had a photographic memory and he won a court battle for the credit of the patent for the radio. Long after his death for the claim on the invention of the radio over Marconi. He died around the time of WW2(not becuase of the war).\nHe invented solutions and saw the invention in his head and never took many notes...The things you mentioned are yet to be confirmed and could very well be true, some of his inventions are mind-boggling.\n\n...you should have a look at the book : \nNikola Tesla - The Man Who Invented The Twentieth Century. \n\n- hope this helps...thanks.
