Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, physicist, mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer.He was born in 1856, in Smiljan, in what was then the Austrian Empire, now in the Republic of Croatia. He studied in Graz and Prague to become an electrical engineer. After his emigration to the United States in 1884 Tesla patented the Alternating Current (AC) system we still use today. Around 1900, his vision was to transmit energy without wires so that everybody could have energy for free. Without enough funds and support, Tesla’s vision failed.

Here are some amazing images of a Tesla High Voltage Generatorand a few pics of people looking like they have a death wish xD ::

Future Transportation Plans

The city of London is considering BRT (bus rapid transit), GLR (ground light rail), and/or HOV (high-occupancy vehicle) lanes to help it achieve its long-term transportation plan. Additional cycleways are planned for integration in road-widening projects, where there is need and sufficient space along routes. An expressway/freeway network is possible along the eastern and western ends of the city, from Highway 401 (and Highway 402 for the western route) past Oxford Street, potentially with another highway, joining the two in the city’s north end. A parclo interchange between Highway 401 and Wonderland Road is also planned for completion by 2009, to move traffic more efficiently through the city’s southwest end. Also in the works is revival of service on the London and Port Stanley Railway.
