He isn&#039;t even the first man from the Balkans to try. Most agree that Serbian inventor <a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/person/nikola-tesla" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.fastcompany.com/person/nikola-tesla" rel="nofollow">Nikola Tesla</a>, who went on to father many of the inventions that define the modern electronic era, was the first to let electrons off their leash, in 1890.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tesla based his wireless electricity idea on a concept known as electromagnetic induction, which was discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831 and holds that electric current flowing through one wire can induce current to flow in another wire, nearby. To illustrate that principle, Tesla built two huge &quot;World Power&quot; towers that would broadcast current into the American air, to be received remotely by electrical devices around the globe.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/1128055/wireless-electricity-here-seriously" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.fastcompany.com/1128055/wireless-electricity-here-seriously" rel="nofollow">http://www.fastcompany.com/1128055/wireless-electricity-here-seriously</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
