Alternating current

Nikola Tesla was a powerful scientific mind of the 19th century, specifically, “one of the most outstanding pioneers in the electric power field and in the development of radio” (“Tesla, Nikola”). Tesla began his life as a young Croatian boy, detached from the world, who dreamt of inventing. He later came to America in pursuit of his own American Dream, and in the process paved the road for modern electricity and radio communication. (“Nikola Tesla”). Tesla’s genius ideas are credited to many…

he worked for Thomas Edison, whose direct current was becoming a popular system…

thrombosis which is a blood clot in the flow of blood to the heart. Nikola Tesla died on January 7, 1943. He died at the age of 86 in New York City. He didn’t have any kids or a wife. Nikola Tesla’s inventions were he discovered the electric alternating current that is still used today. In 1891 Tesla invented the tesla coil. Tesla also invented the first working radio, fluorescent light bulb, invented the remote control, and made the first hydro electric generating plan at Niagara Falls. He…

orthodox priest and his mother was an unschooled but very intelligent women. During school he began experimenting with alternating currents. He was ridiculed in college by his professors for his ideas and dropped out of school. He relocated to Paris to work for the continental Edison company(Bernard 2010). A year late he moved to France where he built the first prototype of alternating current motor. He than approached wealthy businessmen who could afford to fund him but they couldn’t understand…

afraid his parents would find out so he disappeared to distant family members. His father found out and offered him to start fresh at a new university because he never graduated the last semester. Tesla had a interest in Alternating Current (AC) but also had an idea about how Direct Current (DC) worked but thought that…

What would you do if you were one of the smartest humans on earth in the 19th century? Could you invent things that defined modern era as we know it? What if I told you about a man who was one of the smartest and did made a significant change in the world history. Shouldn’t you know about him? Well, I think you should. Nikola Tesla was a Serbian American inventor born in 1856 in a small village in Serbia during the Austrian regime. In 1884 Tesla emigrated into the United States to work for…

who devised the powerful alternating current (AC) model that significantly became the industry electric standard. AC is widely considered one of the many Tesla’s inventions. It is said that Tesla became an engineer with no single training at all, not exposed in the said field, but did it all himself, and realized the greatest- amazing results by virtue of his applications and industry use. He challenged one of his counterparts, Thomas Edison who also invented direct current (DC) power system…

so it is hard not to compare the two. They worked for years creating and perfecting their various inventions. Edison is best known for creating a commercially viable light bulb, and Tesla is remembered for his contributions to the design of alternating current electricity. Though Edison is more well known, both men contributed greatly to the field of electrical science and should forever be remembered. Thomas Edison was born on February 11th, 1847. He grew up in Milan, Ohio, and later moved…

Nikola Tesla, born July 9/10/1856, Smiljan, Austrian Empire (Croatia) Died January 7-1943, New York, U.S. Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American Inventor and engineer who discovered and patented the rotating magnetic field the basis of most alternating-current machinery. Sadly few people recognize his name today, and even among those who do, the words Nikola Tesla are likely to summon up the image of a crackpot rather than an authentic scientist. Nikola Tesla was the greatest inventor the world…

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…
