NIKOLA TESLA
THE FATHER OF ALTERNATING CURRENT
THE FORGOTTEN SCIENTIST IN HISTORY
SARASIJ MAJUMDER
Nikola Tesla's final photograph, left, shows him thin and haggard, a far cry from the brilliant and confident man he once was. Sadly, Tesla never received the recognition he deserved for his many contributions to science and technology. He died in poverty and obscurity; forgotten by the world he had helped to shape.
Nikola Tesla inventions constitute numerous technological
breakthroughs throughout his lifetime. Born in Smiljan, Croatia, in 1856, the
math and physics genius contributed innovations that continue to impact our
lives of daily today. He held over three hundred patents, but was only recognized
for some.
Tesla was a visionary who dreamed of a self-sustaining world
powered by clean, renewable energy. He believed that electricity should be free
for all, and he worked tirelessly to develop technologies that would make this
possible. However, Tesla's ideas were often ahead of their time, and he was
often met with resistance from the establishment. His most famous rival, Thomas
Edison, was a staunch advocate for the use of direct current (DC) electricity,
while Tesla championed the use of alternating current (AC). Edison's DC system
was more accepted for its simplicity, but Tesla's AC system was more versatile
and could be used for a wider variety of applications. In the end, Tesla's AC
system prevailed, but Edison's smear campaign against him had a lasting impact
on Tesla's reputation, while he was alive.
He applied for many patents for his AC power operated invention, and discoveries
which were later sold to Westinghouse.
He also FORETOLD about WIRELESS system.
Some of Tesla’s inventions included:
- AC
Power (alternating current)
- Tesla
Coil
- Magnifying
Transmitter
- Tesla
Turbine
- Shadowgraph—An
improvement on X-Ray. Image becomes CLEARER.
- Neon
Lamp
- Hydroelectric
Power
- Induction Motor.
