Never having put much focus on his finances, Tesla died impoverished at the age of 86. During this period, in the United States, Tesla's fame rivaled that of any other inventor or scientist in history or popular culture, but due to his eccentric personality and his seemingly unbelievable and sometimes bizarre claims about possible scientific and technological developments, Tesla was ultimately ostracized and regarded as a mad scientist. Much of his early work pioneered modern electrical engineering and many of his discoveries were of groundbreaking importance.
After his demonstration of wireless communication (radio) in 1894 and after being the victor in the "War of Currents", he was widely respected as one of the greatest electrical engineers who worked in America. Tesla's patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern alternating current (AC) electric power systems, including the polyphase power distribution systems and the AC motor, with which he helped usher in the Second Industrial Revolution.īorn an ethnic Serb in the village of Smiljan, Vojna Krajina, in the territory of today's Croatia, he was a subject of the Austrian Empire by birth and later became an American citizen. He is frequently cited as one of the most important contributors to the birth of commercial electricity, a man who "shed light over the face of Earth," and is best known for his many revolutionary developments in the field of electricity and magnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book allows us to get to know him on a personal level and share his great achievements.Nikola Tesla was a genius polymath, inventor and a mechanical and electrical engineer.
He was so amazingly gifted that his inventions would appear 3-D in his mind so he could examine them from any angle before building them perfectly, from this powerful inner blueprint. Supreme Court ruled that Marconi's radio patents were invalid and awarded them, rightfully, to Tesla. Six months after Nikola Tesla died in 1943 the U.S. His inventions include the AC electrical system, fluorescent lighting, X-rays, remote control, the electric motor (which the modern Tesla car is designed after), robotics, the laser, the famous Tesla coil transformer, the wireless transmission of power, which could have provided us all with limitless free energy, and radio. Although titled My Inventions, it goes beyond his scientific achievements and recounts his childhood in Croatia, his early education in Europe, and his work with Thomas Edison, then followed by his most vital research and inventions. In this book, one of the greatest scientific minds to have ever lived, Nikola Tesla, presents his life story. St Joseph's University (Brooklyn Voices Series).
