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…

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,…

Tesla was born on July 10,1846 and died January 7,1943. Tesla died from a disease called Coronary Thrombosis The disease causes clots in the blood vessels in the heart it is classified as a type of ischemic heart disease aka heart attack. Tesla grew up in a family of five children which included himself and his siblings Dane, Angelina, Milka and Marica. Tesla's interest in electrical invention was caused by his mother inventing small household appliances in her spare time while her son was…

Introduction “What one man calls God, another calls the laws of physics.” [1]. Nikola Tesla was born in the industrial age under the Austrian empire on 10th July 1856. Being raised with advance knowledge of engineering and science, Tesla started his career with the emerging electric power industry in the early 1880’s for whom he worked for until the late 1880’s. His first significant achievement happens with AC or Alternating Current. He has owned the patents for the Alternating Current…

Nikola Tesla was a great inventor from Smiljan, Croatia.He made many great inventions during his time here in the United states.Tesla studied math and physics at the Technical University of Graz and philosophy at the University of Prague. From there on he made many inventions that has given him a reputation that would later catch Tomas Edisons eye in many years to come. At one point Edison told Tesla he would pay $50,000 for an improved design for his DC dynamos. Tesla never got paid that money…

misleading. Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-born immigrant, holds over 40 U.S. patents for advancements in alternating current technology, the type of electricity most used today. The U.S. patent office and U.S. Supreme Court also credit him for advancements in radio. Tesla also invented vacuum tubes that paved the way for television and held experiments that helped engineers create the cell phone. Modern electricity makes use of polyphase alternating current (AC).…

Tesla and Edison During the late 1890s the inventions of two great minds, Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison, helped turn electricity from a scientific concept into a household amenity. In this paper, I will review both of these men’s lives, give an overview of their accomplishments, and go over how these accomplishments still have an impact today. Nikola Tesla was born July 10, 1856 in Smiljan, Croatia. A bright child with an almost photographic memory and an aptitude for problem-solving, Tesla…

Nikola Tesla "The spread of civilization may be likened to a fire; first a feeble spark, next a flickering flame, then a mighty blaze, ever-increasing in speed and power." Nikola Tesla is considered the father of the electric age. From the alternating current to neon signs, his inventions revolutionized the world. He had over 250 patents throughout the world. Nikola Tesla was born in Smiljan, Croatia on July 10th , 1856. He was born to Milutin Tesla and Đuka Mandic. His father was a Serbian…

Andy "Sphinx' Baker 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…

Nikola Tesla was an innovative intellectual of the Gilded Age whose ideas were far ahead of his time. The modern world would be nothing like it is today without Tesla’s insights. He revolutionized the scientific community and the world’s knowledge of electric current, but there were plenty of other interesting facets of his life and career. He was much more than an engineer, and unfortunately, many of his peers underestimated him on account of his quirkiness and battle with mental illness.…
