explanatory Essay
707 words
Nikola Tesla (shown in Figure 1) was born on the 9th July 1856 in Smiljan, Austrian Empire, or known today as Croatia and deceased in New York (USA) on the 7th January 1943. Tesla’s Father, Milutin Tesla, was an orthodox priest, while his mother, Djuka Mandic, spent her free time inventing household items and inspired Nikola; Tesla was one of five siblings, Dane, Angelina, Mike and Marcia (Biography.com Editors 2017)

In 1875, at the age of 19, tesla studied Electrical Engineering at the Polytechnic Institute at Graz in Austria. (Gilbert King 2013) while studying here, tesla got himself into an ongoing debate with one of the professors regarding the faults in the DC motors which were being demonstrated to

Tesla’s most influential creations, set to change the world was produced in 1891 when tesla came up with what was known as the Tesla coil.
Although the Tesla coil has been replaced in many areas by more modern circuitry, the tesla coil at the time is what allowed for the first wireless telegraph communication systems to work (MagLab 2014)
“Everything is light” – (In5D 2014) in 1899 Nikola Tesla took part in an interview with John Smith, this interview came to be particularly famous, and showed Teslas way of thinking when he used the term “Everything is light” this became one of Teslas most famous interviews, the full interview can still be found and read from transcripts online today, In summary Nikola Tesla is one of histories most desired Electrical Engineers, his ideas and creations set many of the foundations on which Electrical Engineers all over the globe use today. Although not all his ideas are still in use today, a lot of the technology we have today, such as wireless communication systems, would not be possible without the innovative work of Nikola Tesla.

The man who invented the modern world died nearly penniless at age 86 on January 7, 1943. More than two thousand people attended his funeral. In his lifetime, Tesla received over 800 different patents. He probably would have exceeded Edison's record number if he wasn't always broke - he could afford very few patent applications during the last thirty years of his life. Unlike Edison, Tesla was an original thinker whose ideas typically had no precedent in science. Unfortunately, the world does not financially reward people of Tesla's originality. We only award those that take these concepts and turn them into a refined, useful product.

Tesla was born in what is now Croatia and moved to the United States at the mere age of twenty-eight and briefly worked with Thomas Edison. After Tesla had parted ways with Edison due to their conflicting personalities, Tesla went on to invent the alternating-current system, the hydroelectric power plant, and his most well-known invention the Tesla Coil. “Throughout his career, Tesla discovered, designed and developed ideas for a number of important inventions — most of which were officially patented by other inventors — including dynamos (electrical generators similar to batteries) and the induction motor. He was also a pioneer in the discovery of radar technology, X-ray technology, remote control and the rotating magnetic field” (BI) Our world we know today would be drastically different without Nikola Tesla.

After moving to New York city; he began work at Edison Electric under the direction of Thomas Edison. It was here that he first presented his revolutionary ideas regarded alternating current. After his concepts and designs were rejected by Edison, he left Edison Electric and found work digging trenches; ironically for the power lines for Edison’s power plants. He secured some investors after a well thought out presentation in which he made a metal egg spin on its long axis, as if magically being held there by an invisible hand (“Edison vs. Tesla” Genius, Season 1, episode 7, National Geographic, 2015, Netflix.com) He possessed a talent for vivid demonstrations that fed the imagination of those who witnessed.
