The people Zagreb had the opportunity to enjoy the phenomenal display, as they say, of a "national" genius whose character appeared in the interplay of water and light on city fountains. 

A manifestation is being held each year in Zagreb called "Tesla & Friends" on the occasion of Tesla's birthday, and the award "Nikola Tesla - Genious for the future" is gifted during the manifestation.

The anniversary of birth certainly gives us a great opportunity to remind ourselves of the life of a man without whose inventions much of the things wouldn't exist today.

The first hydroelectric power plant was designed by Tesla, he developed the concept of "smartphone" technology in 1901, and we also owe the foundations of radar to his brilliance, also laser x-ray beams, robotics, and a great number of inventions in the field of electrical engineering and radio technology.

Tesla claimed that he had developed a "super weapon" that would end all wars, which was why he was under the supervision of US intelligence agencies, and his experiments were allegedly involving controversial inventions such as the "death ray" that could bring down planes from a long distance.

He was called "a crazy scientist with a photographic memory", who also said several times that he communicated with aliens. 

Little is known that Tesla was born during the storm and that he cooperated with Einstein, with whom he tried to create an invisibility cloak for the warship "USS Eldridge".

Nikola Tesla was born on June 28, 1856, according to the old, that is, on July 10, according to the new calendar in Smiljan in Lika, as the fourth of five children of Orthodox priest Milutin and mother Georgina.

Tesla's remains are kept in Belgrade, where the birthday of the scientist was also marked with a series of manifestations.
