story about Nikola Tesla is the story of a genius who was largely disrespected and abused by other scientists and inventors. Through my research I have managed to find out about the forgotten genius‚ his creation‚ the competition against direct current‚ and his true predictions. Furthermore‚ I talk about why this unfortunate futurist did not receive the prestige for his work; yet‚ considered the best scientist of all times. WORKS OF NIKOLA TESLA The astonishing inventor‚ Nikola Tesla

Most students of electricity begin their study with what is known as direct current (DC)‚ which is electricity flowing in a constant direction‚ and/or possessing a voltage with constant polarity. DC is the kind of electricity made by a battery (with definite positive and negative terminals)‚ or the kind of charge generated by rubbing

War of Currents Two of the greatest inventors in American history are Thomas Edison and Nikolas Tesla. However‚ they had not achieved their success on their own. Many argue that the rivalry between them had pushed them to create technology which we still use today. Without the extraordinary relationship between the two‚ Tesla and Edison would not have accomplished the level of success both of them had. In the beginning‚ the men had great respect for each other. Tesla had left Serbia for New

Nikola Tesla is not very well known for most of his inventions‚ even though most modern people use them everyday without even knowing. The world would be different without Nikola Tesla‚ because had Tesla not invented the Alternating Current motor‚ Thomas Edison would have successfully developed and sold his Direct Current motor. In order for direct current to be used‚ a power source must be

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

Verify your expression by using the experimental results obtained. If your results do not show the expected relationship‚ explain why. In order to derive an expression for the magnetic field B at a point of distance r‚ from an infinitely long wire that carries a current I‚ we can refer to fig. 10. From symmetry‚ B must be

Language supervisor: PaedDr. Dagmar Rusková‚ PhD. Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was a Serbian American inventor‚ electrical engineer‚ mechanical engineer‚ and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system Tesla gained experience in telephony and electrical engineering before immigrating to the United States in 1884 to work for Thomas Edison in New York City. He soon struck out on his own with financial backers‚

Nikola Tesla was born in Smiljan‚ a village in Croatia. This was also where he had attended middle school. Tesla continued his education at the Polytechnic Institute (a college that offered general education courses) in Graz‚ Austria. Tesla later completed his education at The University of Prague

Over the course of history‚ many figures have been compared as the best in their field. Both typically share the star light‚ however‚ a few do not. Nikola Tesla and Thomas Alva Edison were both champions of the power of electricity and hold over a thousand patents combined. Both men were responsible for designing the future of technology‚ although Tesla never reaped the rewards of doing so. Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla both discovered‚ invented‚ and patented many new things‚ but both had very different
