Research: Nikola Tesla

By Irbin Torres

Who was Nikola Tesla?

Born 10 1856 Austrian Empire, Croatia


Serbian American inventor,electrical
engineer,mechanical
engineer,physicist
Futuristbest known for his
contributions to design modern
alternating current(AC)electricity
supplysystem.

Earliy Life

Tesla immigrated to the U.S on


1884 broke

Tesla contractedcholera he was


bedridden for nine months and
was near death multiple times.

Tesla was offered the task of


completely redesigning the
Edison Company'sdirect
currentgenerators

Worked for the Continental


Edison Company soon after

Fixed Edisons Electrical System


for $50,000 which was a promise
Edison made jokingly

About his work

Designed the first Hydro-Electric


Powerplant

Induction motor

Wireless Telegraphy

Alternating current

Neon Lamp

Remote Control

Tesla Coil

Was awarded min of 278 patents in 28


countries

Most prominent Inventions was the


Wardenclyffe Tower

Tesla contributed in varying degrees to


the establishment of robotics, remote
control, radar, and computer science, and
to the expansion of ballistics, nuclear
physics, and theoretical physics.

WestingHouse
and Tesla

After being mislead by Edison into digging


ditches for a year with little pay Tesla
was determined to keep on developing his
AC generators

Westinghouse was very intruiged by


Teslas Generators and offerd his to buy
all the patents for AC for 1 million dollars
and also proposed a royalty for every
horsepower a Tesla product produced
Westinghouse would pay $2.50

Battle of the
Currents

Edison began a negative media


campaign to discredit the
alternating current system of
electricity being developed by
Westinghouse and Tesla

Edison: My personal desire is to


prohibit entirely the use of
alternating current

Edison electrocuted Cats, Dogs,


Cows, Horses, and a 6 ton elephant,
who was sentenced to death for
killing 3 zookeepers 1 of which tried
to feed her a cigarette to prove
Tesla AC was dangerous

General Electric
Company

The Edison Company, Thompson Houston


Company merged and in retaliation
refused to sell Westinghouse any Edison
Light bulb.

Westinghouse devised a two stop bulb to


save the day

Tesla along side Westinghouse made


history by providing AC electricity to light
up the worlds fair in Chicago despite
Edisons warnings proving it to be safe and
beneficial

Lord Kelvin attended and a contract was


awarded to Westinghouse Electric to get
power from Niagra falls using AC

Setback

Overreach of resources had pushed


Westinghouse Electric into financial
struggle

Tesla Ripped up contract of $2.50 per


horsepower to save company

Tesla was begging to work on wireless


energy singal

The same year a fire mysteriously broke


out burning down all of his work

A lifetimes work destroyed

In England Guillermo Marconi had


developed a device for wireless
telegraphy

In fear Marconi would exploit his ideas he


began to work again

Created a self controlling boat

Colorado
Springs

Tesla moved to Colorado springs to


worked on secret projects

Tesla Wanted to send electrical power


from Colorado to France from the
Ionosphere

Tesla began construction of a high-voltage


coil facility

A prototype transmitter for a World


Wireless System

Tesla created lighting bots shutting down


local companies generators creating fear

To transmit power worldwide.

The facility was never completed

Wardenclyffe Tower

Marconi Moved to new York to look for investors


and filed a patent similar to Teslas wireless
telegraphy but was denied

Telsas vision was to end wars and global


communication network

Teslas vision became really appealing to J.P


Morgan and agreed to invest in Teslas World
wide radio broadcast center

Teslas real goal was to transmit without wires


industrial levels of electrical power which he
kept secret

December 8, 1901 Marconi was able to transmit


a signal across the atlantic using 17 of Teslas
patents and claimed they were his ideas

Lack of funding and technical problems caused


J.P Morgan to back out leaving Tesla Financially
ruined

One day and aurora borealis activity like


proved Teslas tower worked but limited

J.P Morgan backed out of funding Tesla and


called Teslas innovations problematic because
it was not clear how meters could be imposed
for buying and selling energy

Downfall

U.S patent commission reversded its


decion and gave Marconi transmission
patent and Teslas Patents expired

Tesla couldnt comprehend business and


inventions

Tesla became angry when Marconi was


awarded a Nobel Prize

In money shortages he suid the Marconi


company with patent infringement but
lack the resources to fight a legal battle
and gave up

Tesla was nominated for the Nobel Prize


and share a prize with Edison

Pennyless began helping out hurt pigeons


and feeding them

Created Deathray

Tesla believed Einstein theory was in the


wrong direction without touch of reality

Albert Einstein submitted a letter of


admiration

WARFARE

During the rise of the Nazi


state Tesla unveiled his new
source of power Telaforce
which can shoot an airplane
of the sky

Tried to sell his system to the


allied forces. Britain agreed
to too pay for Teslas
blueprints but fell short on
the final plans Tesla didnt
sent.

Passing

At 81 when outside to feed pigeons and


was hit by a car breaking three of his ribs

Westinghouse executives agreed to pay for


his room and board for the rest of his life

He returned to make deals with the U.S


Gov and was scheduled for a meeting but
it never happened

He died in his room Jan 7, 1943

5 Months later U.S patent office declared


Marconis patents invalid crediting Tesla

Soon the FBI seized all of the Teslas paper


when he died and soon after the U.S
developed new military weapons developed
from Teslas work

Some of his papers were missing

Ronald Reagan called for the strategic


defense initiative because of fear of the
U.S.S.R might have a Death Ray Beam

Suddenly Teslas work was taken seriously

HAARP was created to further research


Teslas work

The End
