Tesla Research Paper

Tesla, born in July 9-10, 1856, in Croatia, was a Serbian-American inventor and engineer, who discovered the basis of most alternating current machinery and the rotating magnetic field. Tesla moved to the United States in 1884 and sold his alternating current patent rights to George Westinghouse. Tesla’s father was an orthodox priest; his mother was unschooled but extremely smart, Tesla showed remarkable imagination and a poetic touch. Tesla had become, almost insane before his death, spending days at a time in a park to be with his favorite creatures, pigeons. He spent many sleepless nights, thinking over mathematical equations, and his previous, flawless in his mind work. He believed his mind had no equal, for example, one time, Thomas Edison

Tesla has ridiculous germ phobia and wasn’t very efficient with financial situations. However, eventually, Tesla died his nephew Sava Kosanovich, who put almost everything he inherited into a museum, where Tesla’s genius can be remembered forever. Tesla has put together his own laboratory, where he would work and invent as he pleases, this sped his founding of most of his inventions, including the tesla coil itself, and allowed him to test the alternating current in solitude, sometimes even allowing the current to flow through himself to light bulbs. The most profound of everything Tesla patented was the AC (Alternating Current) power current, which was very superior to the DC current (Direct Current). Alternating current is advantageous because it allows more efficient energy travel over longer distances. Tesla was able to get this far as an inventor due to his education, which included an engineering career when he attended the Technical University at Graz, Austria. Tesla also attended the University of Prague. Tesla’s largest competition was with Thomas Edison, who is well known for the light bulb. The two always battled about whether alternating or direct current was better for modern society. Though alternating current is used in most devices today, Edison had been challenging competition for Tesla’s superior

One of tesla’s more popular inventions was the tesla coil, but he’d also invented the induction motor, wireless telegraphy, the neon lamp, and much more. Tesla certainly wasn’t the most important scientist in the world, but he sparked genius among the world of his time, and improved the quality of life for many. For example, the remote control is used all the time today, by literally almost everyone every day. Something as simple as the AC current, you’d think would have become the standard regardless of Tesla or not, but it actually probably wouldn’t have, Tesla was the primary combatant against the direct current, being the only one who figured it was worth it. Tesla had been looking towards the future, where power cables would reach longer distances, and become necessary, only until then, would it have been far too hard to switch current systems and power companies would have had to struggle with very low efficiency to almost anywhere. In alternating current, the flow of electrical charge changes direction on a set time while the direct current only flows in a certain direction. Alternating current is primarily used because it is easy to change the voltage of in a device called a transformer. This allows companies to transport the energy initially at a very high voltage, conserving more energy throughout
