San Francisco heavy metal band named after Nikola Tesla (even their first two albums, Mechanical Resonance and The Great Radio Controversy, got their names from Tesla-related ideas). Probably best known for "Love Song" and their acoustic album Five Man Acoustical Jam with its cover song single "Signs."

I like it!

Convienently named after the same scientist as the aforementioned band, the tesla (T) is the SI unit for magnetic flux density.

1 tesla = 1 weber/meter^2

Reduced to base SI Units, 1 T represents one kilogram, per second squared, per ampere, or 1 kg * s2 * A-1.

Since the tesla is such a large unit, engineers take measurements of flux density in smaller units known as gauss (G). 1 T = 10^4 G.
