Nikola Tesla

With an astounding 1,393 patents between them, there is no doubt that Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla were proficient inventors. Both became interested in design and engineering at a young age, 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,…

Nikola Tesla was, in my opinion, a great inventor that could have changed the entire world. Tesla was born in a small village called Smiljan in Austria. After his genious 12-year old brother passed away, Nikola, who was 5 years old, was pressured into studying. He studied chemistry, engineering and philosophy. He later emigrated to the United States of America in 1884, where he was offered a job at the company of Thomas Edison. He quit his job a few months later after a disagreement over his…

have driven prior conflicting voices to exceed into the present. In continuing to develop as a controversial subject, contemporary voices 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…

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 future tell the truth and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine”- Nikola Tesla Nikola Tesla was born on July 10th 1856, in what is now Croatia. His father was an Orthodox priest.

He was such a genius that he could do integral calculus in his head and graduated with a four-year term in three years,…

The Legacy of Nikola Tesla Nikola Tesla is easily considered one of the world’s greatest inventors. His inventions in electricity have shaped the way we use technology today. His technological advances were so ahead of his time that Nikola Tesla’s fame and recognition did not come until after his death, which is what makes his legacy so significant. Nikola Tesla was born in 1856 in Smiljan, a town located in what is today Croatia. Tesla’s knack for invention was inspired by his mother, Djuka…

amount of inventors, engineers and futurists emerged. Nikola Tesla was born on July 10, 1856 in Smiljan, Croatia. His passion for electrical engineer was instigated by his mother, Djuka Mandic, who built him numerous gadgets while he was growing up. While Tesla has attending the University of Prague in Graz, Austria, he became acquainted with the Gramme dynamo, which was used as an add-on generator in manufacturing and farming machinery. Tesla took advantage of this generator to convert it into…

let me start off by saying that both Tesla and Edison had many inventions that changed the world in a way. They both to me in my opinion were the utmost ingenious people to put forth ideas that no one else would of thought before. If it weren't for them both we won't be holding some of the stuff that we have today, like our phones and instead of electricity something else like candle power. I would love to be an apprentice on their side for either Edison or Tesla because it would have been so…

Nikola Tesla was a man of wisdom. The war he had with Thomas edison went on for a long time. Nikola tesla invented the ac, a type of current we still use today. The whole war was over eddison and is dc current. Which means direct current. Tesla was born on July 10, 1856 in Smiljan, Croatia. He was not an american citizen at first. He came from the austrian empire to america. From 1856 to 1867 he was apart of the empire. Then he came to america and became a citizen here. His father was a priest…

Nikola Tesla was born on 10 July 1856 in what is now Croatia, although he was a native of the neighbouring country of Serbia. His mother was very interested in machinery and was an amateur inventor herself, so she encouraged his interest in science and electricity. His father was a priest who wanted Tesla to follow in his footsteps. Tesla was interested in the transmission of electricity from a young age. He studied maths and physics at the Technical University of Graz, but he dropped out before…
