The Short Answer
What do you mean by "could"? He did plenty things, like inventing AC power and the induction motor, among a [long list of other things](_URL_0_). People generally like him because they view him as an underdog who wasn't given all the recognition he deserved, especially given his battle with Edison, in which Edison acted like a complete dick. Some people also like his more oddball ideas that weren't realized, such as large scale wireless power transmission. This wouldn't have worked anyway, because it's enormously inefficient and would pretty much fry all the electronics around it. Such experiments were a lot more practical back when the main concerns were light bulbs and motors.
