Nikola Tesla
Have you ever flipped a switch or open your refrigerator and a light comes on, and questioned ,“ Why or who made the ability to turn that light on?” Well the man you are reffering to is Nikola Tesla. Though you might not know him, Nikola Tesla cretaed the AC electrical system and changed the field of electricity.
Nikola Tesla was born on July 9th or 10th(not sure because of the country he was born in) in 1856 in Smijan, Crotia. He was one of five children from his mother. While Tesla was interested in electricity, his mother made small household appilances. Tesla’s father, Militan Tesla, was a Sebian orthodox preist and writer and pushed Nikola to be in the priesthood. Nikola studied at the Realschule, Karlstedt (later renamed the Johann-Rudolph-Glauber Realschule Karlstedt), the Polytechnic Institute in Graz, Austria and the University of Prague in the 1870’s. He had then moved to Budapest to work for the Central Telephone Exchange. Tesla was trying to get interested in the induction motor, but after several years to gain intrset he moved from Europe to America. …show more content…
Edison then hired Tesla and were on their way to improve Edison’s inventions. However, several months later Edison and Tesla had gone their different ways. Tesla had gotten paid for the Tesla Electric Light Company. He had been asked to improve arc lighting. After finishing it correctly, Tesla was forced to work as a manual laborer in order to survive. But in 1887, he was able to find interest in the AC electrical system and his new Tesla Electric Company. Tesla’s AC electrical system is used to make different type of electricity in the Tesla Coil. Our lights are run on the DC electrical system by Edison. If we had used Tesla’s AC electrical system, we would have wireless lights but Edison got credited with his DC electrical
