Eggs over easy.

I'm going to go off about Nikola Tesla for only a little bit more. And rather than dwell on the obvious stuff he did I'd rather look at the fringes of his accomplishments. Lucky for us, he had a wide fringe.

Lets see, there's his Columbus Egg, a gizmo that suspended a copper "egg" in a rotating magnetic field. This was 1893.

Then we have a little bit later in 1898 the Tesla Oscillator. This was a mechanical device that once placed against a significant component of a building, say a support column, and left run would produce high frequency vibrations. The frequency could be tuned and allegedly he was able to discover the resonant frequency of buildings or any other thing for that matter. Designed to run on steam or air pressure, the thing could supposedly bring down a city block. How could he know that?

Leap ahead to 1934 and we find him working on a particle beam weapon, oh so much more sophisticated than an oscillator. In his "The Art of Projecting Concentrated Non-dispersive Energy through the Natural Media" he claims to have all the necessary things to make the damn thing. I like how he refers to doing this as an "art". In actual fact, given his abilities and access to the major components he claims he needs to build one, I'm glad we didn't ever really piss him off.
