War of Currents

work allowed him to make numerous contributions to the world of electricity, many of which helped to usher in the high tech era which we are accustomed to today. Most people are aware of at least one of his discoveries, whether it is alternating current, wireless communication, or wireless controlling, but few people are aware that Tesla may have made another discovery which was more fantastic than all of the others combined. Tesla may have picked up a signal from another world. And done so…

Furthermore, he was foreseeing the development of a magnetic field which would be later used as a induction motor, also considering it his first successful performance of an alternating current(AC). Reputedly, Tesla moved to New York in 1884 eagerly buoyant to create modern…

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 the…

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 has…

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…

redesigning the direct current generators that ran Edison’s business. Then Edison offered Tesla $50,000 for the new improvements on the generators. After Tesla’s work was done, Edison claimed that he wasn’t serious about the offer for the new generator. So then Tesla moved on to team up with George Westinghouse to commercialize the new invention of alternating currents. This was a strong competition with Thomas Edison’s direct currents and Westinghouse’s alternating currents.…

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…

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. During…

Responsible for the radio, x-ray machine, and many other innovations, Nikola Tesla receives almost no credit for his master mind. Even though he was not recognized for his works, he still kept pursuing his dream primarily to create a better world for man-kind to inhabit. Nikola Tesla, known only as a footnote in the history of engineering, has shaped our modern day interactions by his dedication to doing the “impossible.” How a man is raised will not only impact him, but those who are prominent…

stored an electric current and allowed the current to be used in a controlled environment. Second, in 1820, the Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted (1777-1851) demonstrated the connection between…
