Serbian inventor NIKOLA TESLA (1857-1943) was a revolutionary scientist who forever changed the scientific fields of electricity and magnetism. Tesla's greatest invention, A/C current, powers almost all of the technological wonders in the world today, from home heating to computers to high-tech robotics. His discoveries gave mankind the television. And his dream of wireless communication came to pass in both the radio and eventually the cell phone. Yet his story remains widely unknown. History buffs, science enthusiasts, backyard inventors, and anyone who has ever dared to dream big will find the life of Nikola Tesla, written in his own words, engaging, informative, and humorous in its eccentricity.
Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor and engineer renowned for his work in developing the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. He studied engineering in the Austrian Empire and worked in telephony and for Edison before immigrating to the U.S. in 1884. Tesla's innovations included the AC induction motor, wireless lighting, and early X-ray imaging. Despite his successes, he died impoverished. Tesla's legacy was revived in 1960 when the SI unit of magnetic flux density was named the tesla.
