Nikola Tesla Nikola revolutionized the world in many ways. Whether through his amazing inventions,creating systems that would rock the world, and many books which inspired (and continue toinspire) many people that came after him, he will always be a true role model and has set thebase for many inventors to come.Nikola was born on the same year that Gregor Mendel started researching genetics. Hewas born in a city near Gospic in Croatia. That small town had a population of 446 in 2001. It isnow most well known for being his birthplace. He was baptized in the same town he was bornin. He was one of five children and he had 1 brother and 3 sisters. His family moved to Gospicin 1862. He went to school in the year 1875 and studied electrical engineering in secondaryschool in Karlovac. In 1881 he went to work in a telegraph company. He then quickly became the chief electrician for the company and then the engineer of Yugoslavia’s first telephone system. He then made a …show more content…
Thomas was all for DCcurrents and Tesla was all for AC currents in this war. When Nikola finished the induction motor the only downside to AC went away. The inability for motors to run AC was gone and Tesla gotthe upper hand. DC still had vast pro blems that put Nikola ahead like it couldn’t travel more than mile without voltage loss and the fact it could not change voltage strength easily. When Teslaset up a system where you could use AC generators it was clear AC was the future. GeorgeWestinghouse the manufacturer for Tesla was hired to come up with an AC system to run fromNiagara Falls after Nikola implemented a three stage system for people to use. A year before he started working on his induction furnace he began look at waves thatwould later be called X-Rays with his single node vacuum tubes. This device differed from others because it didn’t have an electrode to target in it. This in modern terms is called
