Nikola Tesla Research Paper
The Man Who Invented The 20th Century
Mr. Nikola Tesla, a world renowned physicist, is responsible for most of the things that make modern life so modern, He was awarded 111 patents over the course of his lifetime. Nikola Tesla was a man of considerable genius and visionary in science and Technology in the 20th century. Without him our radio and television, auto ignition, telephone, alternating current power would all have been impossible. Mr. Tesla was born in Croatia which was part of Austria-Hungary back then on July 9, 1856. He was the electrical engineer who invented the AC motor. Tesla was an avid reader and was very passionate about mathematics and science. His father Milutin was a Serbian Orthodox priest. His mother descended …show more content…
After working in Paris Tesla decided to go to the USA and work for Thomas Edison. He became determined to meet the man considered the greatest electrical engineer in the world, Thomas Edison. He was hoping to find a partner and supporter in the very respected and well known inventor. At age 28, Tesla set off for New York City, with very little money in his pocket. In 1884 he started working for The Edison Machine Works Corp. Tesla tried to convince Edison of the advantages of using alternating current rather than direct current in many electrical devices.

Tesla invented everything we associate with radio; antennas, tuners and related. (Wilson, Tracy V. How Stuff Works) Tesla built on these discoveries and inventions to create the first wireless remote control boat, fluorescent and neon lights which he actually bend into letters, wireless bulbs that were lit by energy from the earth, and an AC power plant that harnessed the hydroelectric power of Niagara Falls. He even had a hand in the creation of robotics. His system of delivering power to homes and businesses using AC overpowered the DC power promoted by his former employer Thomas Edison. Till this day we still receive AC power in our homes. By the time Tesla died in 1943 his inventions and discoveries had made much of our current technology
