I watched history channel last week, they featured about Nikola Tesla. Actually, I don’t know this man, his name was unfamiliar. Then, after seeing the entire program, I’ve learned that he did major contributions in the world, it was during year 1856-1943. He is an American electrician and inventor, b. Croatia (then an Austrian province). He emigrated to the United States in 1884, worked for a short period for Edison, and became a naturalized American citizen (1891). A pioneer in the field of high-voltage electricity, he made many discoveries and inventions of great value to the development of radio transmission and to the field of electricity. These include a system of arc lighting, the Tesla induction motor and system of alternating-current transmission, the Tesla coil, generators of high-frequency currents, a transformer to increase oscillating currents to high potentials, a system of wireless communication, and a system of transmitting electric power without wires. He produced the first power system at Niagara Falls, N.Y. There is a museum dedicated to his work in Belgrade, Serbia.
Here’s the Electromechanical devices and principles developed by Nikola Tesla:
*Various devices that use rotating magnetic fields (1882)
*The Induction motor, rotary transformers, and "high" frequency alternators
*The Tesla coil,[30] his magnifying transmitter, and other means for increasing the intensity of electrical oscillations (including condenser discharge transformations and the Tesla oscillators[31][32])
*Alternating current long-distance electrical transmission system[33] (1888) and other methods and devices for power transmission
*Systems for wireless communication (prior art for the invention of radio) and radio frequency oscillators[34]
*Robotics and the "AND" logic gate[35]
*Electrotherapy Tesla currents[36][37][38]
*Wireless transfer of electricity and the Tesla effect[39][40]
*Tesla impedance phenonomena[41]
*Tesla electro-static field
*Tesla principle
*Bifilar coil
*Telegeodynamics
*Tesla insulation
*Tesla impulses[42]
*Tesla frequencies[30]
*Tesla discharge[30]
*Forms of commutators and methods of regulating third brushes
*Tesla turbines (eg., bladeless turbines) for water, steam and gas and the Tesla pumps
*Tesla igniter
*Tesla compressor
*X-rays Tubes using the Bremsstrahlung process
*Devices for ionized gases and "Hot Saint Elmo's Fire".[43]
*Devices for high field emission
*Devices for charged particle beams
*Phantom streaming devices[44]
*Arc light systems
*Methods for providing extremely low level of resistance to the passage of electrical current (predecessor to superconductivity)
*Voltage multiplication circuitry
*Devices for high voltage discharges
*Devices for lightning protection
*VTOL aircraft
*Dynamic theory of gravity
*Concepts for electric vehicles
*Polyphase systems
