Do you remember the scene in the famous movie 'The Prestige' directed by Christopher Nolan, where Tesla has been projected as the picture above? Nikola Tesla is one of the most brilliant inventors in the world. Alternating Current, Induction Motor, Tesla Coil, 3 Phase System, Remote Control, Neon Lamp, and what not! Frankly speaking, the credit of the modern & sophisticated electrical system goes to him. He was a prodigy ahead of his time but the world couldn't give him the proper feat.
A Little History:
Tesla (1856-1943) was a Serbian-American engineer & physicist. He studied Maths & Physics at the Technical University of Graz and philosophy at the University of Prague. He started his career with the job of repairing Direct Current (DC) power plants with the Continental Edison Company. Throughout his life, he proved his excellency but unlike others, he didn't possess the trait of "Business Mind ". Consequently, he could never gain the fame and the chance to be a billionaire. He couldn't even patent many of his works!
After witnessing the continuous betrayal and selfishness of cruel people, this genius, at the end of his life, became obsessed with pigeons especially with a white female one! He believed to have communication with the pigeons. He breathed his last in a hotel in New York working on his last inventions even with his energy and mental health faded.
Tesla Vs Tesla:
Nikola Tesla himself was his own competitor. He believed his mind to be without equal! And he had proved that through his inventions. While the whole world was fascinated with DC, Tesla thought of AC and till now it has been the worldwide accepted electrical system. Can you believe that he got the idea of brushless AC motor while walking and had made the sketches of rotating electromagnets in the sand of the road!!!
Tesla's contribution to modern electric development can not be denied. Many futuristic works have been carried out based on Tesla's researches. Follow the link to know about the background of some of the most used machines in our day to day life; Tesla's Vision: Inventions Ahead of Time
