Why Nikola Tesla was the greatest geek who ever lived. Additional notes from the author: If you want to learn more about Tesla, I highly recommend reading Tesla: Man Out of Time Also, this Badass of the week by Ben Thompson is what originally inspired me to write a comic about Tesla.

Ben's also got a book out which is packed full of awesome. There's an old movie from the 80s on Netflix Instant Queue right now about Tesla: The Secret of Nikola Tesla. It's corny and full of bad acting, but it paints a fairly accurate depiction of his life. The drunk history of Tesla is quite awesome, too.

Looking almost more like an exploded loaf of bread than the exotic fruit, the bullet's direction and the energy of the impact is caught on camera. Photographer Alan Sailer uses an air rifle and firecrackers to create these images. Based in California, USA, the 57-year-old has rigged up a camera with a special flash in his garage using parts off eBay.

Alan uses a slow shutter speed on his Nikon 40X digital camera and the picture is taken in darkness - apart from the brief moment of the flash. Fired from an air rifle, the pellet or marble travels at 200 metres per second as it hits.

A sensor triggered as the missile passes sets off the flash at the moment of the impact. More pictures to marvel at... Top 10 Most Popular Lists Ever. Today is Listverse’s second birthday!
