RE: Nikola Tesla The Man Who Illuminated The Planet
Firstly in reference to the statement:
As proof, Edison sometimes electrocuted animals at demonstrations, thus demonstrating the power of his invention ... Consequently, Edison gave the world the electric chair, while at the same time slandering Tesla's attempt to offer security at a lower cost.
AC requires a much lower current (around 10 mA to 100 mA) compared to DC (100 mA to 250 mA) to be lethal, depending on length of exposure and the frequency of which it is running (AC 60Hz in NA and 50 Hz in Europe) but generally speaking AC, at similar voltages, is more deadly than DC as DC will cause a single contraction and AC will cause many (equal to the frequency) and due to this most of the electric chairs across the US used AC, not DC. Your implications of AC being perfectly safe are very misleading and incorrect, at low voltages (and thus current due to ohms law V=IR) then both AC and DC are effectively harmless, mostly due to skins resistance being around 1,000 ohms when wet and 500,000 when dry.

Tesla didn't invent the AC motor but instead he invented the first AC induction motor. There are many different types of AC motors just as there are many types of DC motors, lack of clarity here takes away from your post. [1] [2]
Tesla was not the first to create transformers, in fact that credit goes to Otto Blathy.
Tesla wasn't the first to experiment or hypothesize about fluorescent lights. There are so many ways to apply corrections to the entire statements in the light section, such as suppressing tesla coils? Do yo know how much energy it actually takes to run the things? I built a miniature one for a science fair project that ran off batteries (ran through an inverter first) and it would drain a car battery (around 12.6V 45 A*h) in just a few hours (meaning it ran at between 8 and 15 amps roughly) They are super inefficient and extremely dangerous, not suppressed.

X-rays were discovered before people learned that they had the potential to ionize molecules so the entire statement of: "Almost a decade before the invention of x-rays, our protagonist developed several investigations in the field of electromagnetism, accounting, among other things, how important it was to consider the dangers inherent in the use of ionizing radiation in human flesh." completely, and inherently, meaningless. Like there would be a way to reword that and make it correct but how you have it worded it is incorrect.
I am not supplying sources for this one because it is something that I deem more common knowledge in the field.
Looking through these, none of them were anulled in 1943
-from an electrical engineering student whose field of study wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the groundbreaking work of Tesla, there is a lot to accredit him with but this post is not a good representation of what Tesla did bring to the world.
