Alternating current

have joined the debate in which greatness still eludes a precise definition. Encyclopaedia Britannica lists Nikola Tesla as one of the ‘top ten most fascinating people in history’, a genius in his field of work; credited as the inventor of the Alternating current, the radio…

These are things you probably use everyday. The inventor of the AC motor and radio was Nikola Tesla. One of his inventions, the Tesla Coil, was used in early radio antennas. He was a brilliant man with a powerful imagination. He won the ‘war of currents’ and made lighting. And this is his story. He was born in July of 1856, in the small town of Gospic. He was named after his father, Nikola Tesla. The last name of the Tesla’s is taken from an ax that has a “broad cutting blade at…

Thomas Edison and Nickola Tesla were both amazing inventors of the late 19th century/early 20th century. In 1884, Tesla, who was born in Croatia, moved to the United States to work for Edison. While both were great inventors, the two were very different people. Tesla was not a good business man. He invented for the love of innovation. While Edison, in contrast, was an inventor for the business of it. Edison did not just invent a product, he invented a full systems. Each item in his system was…

At this moment, Edison’s dream would quickly become a reality as large cities with power stations began adopting Edison’s DC electrical grid. However, it would take the work of Tesla and Westinghouse before the modern AC/DC current would be created. The alternating current could more easily be converted into high voltages, which are easily transported over large distances with fewer losses due to resistance that occurs naturally in any type of wire. This allowed a smaller number of power…

Deadly, wicked, genius, brilliant, and wizard were all used to describe the bright and advanced mind of which belonged to Nikola Tesla. Too advanced for his time, Tesla’s ideas prove to be brilliant in today’s time. Tesla’s inventions and ideas lead to the advancement of society. Tesla believed that electricity could be found all around the world, and that it was easy to access. When Tesla came to America, he met an Indian Guru who taught Tesla about prana. The basis of prana is that energy…

The Tesla Coil is a very enthralling invention created by Nikola Tesla in 1891. The high voltage, high frequency output of the amazing machine can cause strange effects in all sorts of materials. Though not a well known invention, the Tesla Coil plays a gigantic role in television and radio today. How does it work? What materials are used to make it? How can it be used today? And overall who was Nikola Tesla? The Tesla Coil is comprised of the following materials: a chassis, frame, cabinet or…

the battle of the currents. In 1884 Nikola Tesla went to New York to work with Thomas Edison to discuss the Alternating and Direct current. Tesla told Edison that Direct current was not safe, and Edison said the Alternating current was dangerous and impractical. This means that they both had different opinions about the others current. Edison started the war of currents, which was a battle to prove whose current was better. The Alternating current lets strong electrical currents be sent long…

Piscine Patel, a young teen from India, has an unexpected journey with failure and accomplishment involved. Thomas Edison, a young inventor from the late 1800’s, went through many struggles and triumphs in his process of inventing the lightbulb. Piscine and Edison both followed a similar path that soon led to them both being successful. As they were working towards that goal, errors, mistakes, and trouble occurred. Trying hard enough should, in the end, led you to success. Thomas Edison and…

Direct Current (DC) motors Name: University 1.0 Introduction A Direct Current (DC) motor is one of the broader classification of electric motors which operate from a direct current. Nearly all mechanical devices applied in daily life activities are powered by electric motors. Motors transform electrical energy to mechanical energy, hence they are essential for energy conversions in electrical machines. All types of electrical motors are made up of a stationary field referred to a stator and…
