Physics Paper Rebekah Garris Nikola Tesla was one of the most influential inventors of all time. He is in the same category as Faraday and Edison. I will be talking about Nikola Tesla's life and what makes him important in our everyday lives. Also how thanks to him we now have electricity in our homes today. Also Why I choose to write my paper on him. Hope you enjoy this information about Nikola Tesla. Tesla was born on July 10th, 1856, in a small town called Smiljan in the Austria-Hungary border province of the modern day Republic of Croatia. His father was a priest and his mother was as illiterate housewife but a very talented woman. Nikola always gave his mother the credit for being the source of his inventiveness. …show more content…
The initial Financial investors disagreed with Tesla on his plan for an alternating current (AC) motor and eventually relieved him of his duties. Without any source of income, Nikola worked in New York as a common laborer from 1886-1887 to feed himself and raise capital for his next project. This was Tesla's worst time of his life. During this time by good fortune he came in contact with a patent attorney who helped Tesla start work on his AC motor and financed in setting up his laboratory. In April of 1887, Tesla began investigating what would later be called X-rays using his own single node vacuum tubes. On July 30, 1891, Nikola Became a naturalized citizen of the United States at the age of 35. Nikola Died of heart failure in the New Yorker Hotel (where he was living alone), sometime between the evening for January 5 and the morning of January 8, 1943 at the age of …show more content…
If it wasn't for him we would not have electricity as we know it today and he ushered in the modern idea of having electricity in our homes. While he was alive he invented alternating current, generators and motors to run on it, high voltage Tesla coils, radio, X-rays, highly efficient bladeless steam turbines, radio controlled boats and robots and fluorescent tubes and many other things we have and use today. Also Nikola Tesla contributed greatly in the fields of robotics, ballistics, computer science, nuclear physics and theoretical physics. He was a visionary in nature which is evident due to the fact that most of his major inventions and discoveries were made prior to 1917. I chose to do this paper on Nikola Tesla because he was instrumental in the development of wireless transmissions, induction alternating current (AC) motors and he invented several things which helped us be able to use electricity in our homes today.
In conclusion Nikola Tesla was a brilliant man and he was in the same category as Faraday and Edison when it comes to his work on electricity and what he discovered about its possible uses, which were way ahead of their time in terms of their applications in our lives. Many of the objects we use today are due in part to Tesla's work and we should be thankful that he was such a smart man and a visionary in his own
