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
