There have been many great scientists who have contributed to humanity. The most famous scientists who changed the world are Isaac Newton, Galileo Galilei, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, Louis Pasteur, Michael Faraday, James Clerk Maxwell, Johannes...
Nothing about the life of this brilliant scientist and inventor was ordinary, but how did Nikola Tesla die? All his life he was so busy with his inventions and making the world a better place that he couldn't cope with the capitalist world. Tesla was...
In 1899 Tesla announced his plans, “I propose to send a message from Pike’s Peak to Paris” and hired a local carpenter, Mr. Dozier, to build a laboratory and ordered equipment from New York. In the middle of the year, the workshop was...
"My telautomaton, for instance, opens up a new art which will sooner or later render large guns entirely useless, and will make impossible the building of large battleships, and will... compel the nations to come to an understanding for the...
“I predict that very shortly the old-fashioned incandescent lamp, having a filament heated to brightness by the passage of electric current through it, will entirely disappear.”
Tesla built his first oscillator as a tool for studying high-frequency electrical phenomena. He also constructed high-frequency electrical alternators for the same purpose. When it comes to describing practical applications for this type of electrical...
“I have worked out a dynamic theory of gravity in all details and hope to give this to the world very soon. It explains the causes of this force and the motions of heavenly bodies under its influence so satisfactorily that it will put an end to idle...
"Electric Power is everywhere present in unlimited quantities and can drive the world's machinery without the need of coal, oil, gas, or any other of the common fuels!"
"The plan I have suggested is to disturb by powerful machinery...
In Tesla's patent US514,972 - Electric Railway System - February 20, 1894, high-frequency, high-potential railway picks up its power inductively without the use of the rolling or sliding contacts used in conventional trolley or third-rail systems. A...
The latest inventions patented by Nikola Tesla are probablly the most mysterious because it seems that nobody still ever attempted to build and some of their principles and their purposes are also uknown. In 1928 Tesla patented the invention for the...
A system for the conversion and transmission of electrical energy. In operating various devices with his high-frequency power supply using only one connecting wire he realized the load can placed at some distance from the power supply and still function...
In alternating current (AC), the flow of electric charge periodically reverses direction, whereas in direct current (DC, also dc), the flow of electric charge is only in one direction. The abbreviations AC and DC are often used to mean simply alternating...
