Tesla’s most important invention is widely considered to be the alternating current (AC) power system, which revolutionized electrical power distribution worldwide.

While Guglielmo Marconi is often credited with inventing the radio, Tesla’s work on wireless transmission and patents played a critical role in the development of radio technology, and some courts later recognized Tesla’s contributions.

Tesla focused more on innovation and discovery than business and marketing. Edison was a savvy businessman and self-promoter, which helped him gain more public recognition during his lifetime.

Yes, modern technology such as wireless charging for devices and experimental long-distance power transmission builds on Tesla’s early concepts, though large-scale wireless power distribution remains a challenge.

Almost all modern industries rely on Tesla’s contributions, especially electrical power generation and distribution, radio communications, remote control technologies, and energy-efficient machines.
