Nikola Tesla



Nikola Tesla, a Serbian American inventor and engineer, was born in Smiljan, Austrian Empire (now in Croatia) on July 9 or 10, 1856, and passed away in New York City on January 7, 1943. Tesla discovered and patented the rotating magnetic field, which is the foundation of the majority of alternating-current machinery. Additionally, he created the three-phase electric power transmission system. He sold George Westinghouse the patent rights to his system of alternating-current dynamos, transformers, and motors before emigrating to the United States in 1884. He created the Tesla coil, an induction coil utilised extensively in radio technology, in 1891.

Tesla came from a Serbian-American family. His mother was clever but unschooled, while his father was an Orthodox priest. As he became older, he showed amazing imagination, originality, and a poetic touch.

He studied at the University of Prague and the Technical University of Graz, Austria, in preparation for a future as an engineer. He first encountered the Gramme dynamo, a generator that could also function as an electric motor, in Graz. As a result, he came up with a clever approach to make use of alternating current. Later, in Budapest, he made ideas for an induction motor that would serve as his first step towards the successful application of alternating current after seeing the concept of the revolving magnetic field. Tesla started working for the Continental Edison Company in Paris in 1882, and in 1883, while on assignment in Strassburg, he built his first induction motor after hours.n 1884, Tesla boarded a ship bound for the United States. He arrived in New York with four cents, a couple of his own poems, and calculations for a flying machine. He initially found work with Thomas Edison, but because of the two innovators' vastly different backgrounds and working styles, their split was unavoidable.

INVENTION



Tesla announced the creation of a teleautomatic boat that could be controlled remotely in 1898. Tesla demonstrated his claims for it in front of a crowd in Madison Square Garden when doubts were raised.

Tesla produced what he considered to be his most significant discovery—terrestrial stationary waves—while he was living in Colorado Springs, Colorado, from May 1899 until the beginning of 1900. By making this discovery, he demonstrated that the Earth could be manipulated to act as a conductor and vibrate at a specific electrical frequency. He also generated artificial lightning that produced bursts that measured 41 metres long and lighted 200 wireless bulbs from a distance of 40 kilometres (25 miles) (135 feet).


AFTER TESLA DEATH


Tesla's trunks, which contained his papers, diplomas, and other honours, as well as his correspondence and laboratory notes, were seized by the custodian of alien property after his death. Sava Kosanovich, Tesla's nephew, eventually came into possession of them, and the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade now houses them. For his burial rites, hundreds of people poured into New York City's Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and a deluge of notes lamented the passing of a great intellect. "One of the outstanding intellects of the world who set the way for many of the technological advances of our times," three Nobel laureates praised in their tribute.
