“Nikola Tesla” by Adam Parker, 2-11-15, 4th Period Famous engineer Nikola Tesla was born on July 10, 1856 in modern-day Croatia. He was the inventor of the ‘Tesla Coil,’ which is still used today. He came to the U.S. in 1884 and worked with Thomas Edison. His mother sparked his interest in engineering, because she made simple household items. His father was a priest, but Nikola didn’t want to become a priest, and instead became an engineer. Nikola Tesla arrived in the United States and began to
Nikola Tesla was born on January 7, 1856 in Smiljan, Croatia. When he was seven, his older brother, Dane (dah-nay), died during a riding accident, which traumatized the young tesla and made him start having “visions”. When he got older and went to college, Tesla studied math and physics at the Technical University of Graz, Austria. After that, he went to the University of Prague to study philosophy. When on a walk in 1882, he got the idea for a brushless AC motor, drawing the first blue prints in
Without Nikola Tesla there would be no working light bulbs, poorly working electricity, no robotics, and the worse of them all is without Tesla the power of one inventor it would be nearly impossible to charge your iPhone. But it may come to you as quite a shock, but you were lucky to have this inventor alive to invent and change the world with his compassionate, determined, and inventive behavior. Few people recognized his name until after Elon Musk created and funded Tesla, the car company
Nikola Tesla was the main scientist known for making the alternating-current electric system. He created the Tesla coil and many other inventions. A Tesla coil is an electrical resonant transformer circuit designed by inventor Nikola Tesla in 1891. It is used to produce high-voltage, low-current, high-frequency alternating-current electricity. Nikola Tesla was born in the year 1856 in Smiljan, Croatia, part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the time. His father was a priest in the Serbian Orthodox

He had accomplished many things, patented numerous inventions, wrote many publications and received many medals and honors in his time. Unfortunately, he does not receive the attention that he deserves for the things that he has done
UNRAVELING NIKOLA TESLAS GREATEST SECRET: RADIANT ENERGY If all the great inventions and discoveries of Nikola Tesla, nothing stood out with greater potential benefit to the whole of humanity than his discovery of Radiant Energy in 1889. The series of observations that led to the discovery of Radiant energy initially grew out of experiments that Tesla had conducted in an attempt to duplicate the results that Heinrich Hertz had claimed to achieve in affirming the existence of electromagnetic waves

Pietro Russolo Science Y10 John Charters 6/11/15 Alessandro Volta Alessandro Volta, born on February 18th, 1875 in Como, Lombardia, Italy, was a physicist and chemist. He was known for creating the first electric battery, which in the 1800s was referred to as the “voltaic pile”, though now known as a “cell” in scientific terms. Alessandro Volta did not initially set out to create a battery, but carried out experiments in order to prove that another Italian scientist, Luigi Galvani’s theory of
PREPARATION My biology hero, Joseph Priestley, really impacted the world. He impacted the world by discovering oxygen, inventing sparkling water, and helping his colleagues contribute to electricity. Many people do not appreciate and recognize him as much as Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin, etc. Joseph Priestley showed his intelligence as an child by studying math, logic, metaphysics, and philosophy. He also fluently spoke six languages. Back then, that was a lot of knowledge
Throught the decades, people have had many discussions about which one was a better inventor, Tesla or Edison. Well, let’s start talking about a little background on both inventors so we have a can have a better vision of their achievements. Thomas Edison was an American inventor who created numerous gadgets that enormously impacted life around the globe, including the phonograph, the movie camera, and the enduring, useful electric light.

paths to shape the way we live today. Nicola Tesla and Thomas Edison are two of these forward-thinking minds responsible numerous for technological leaps. Tesla suffering from mental illness, the struggles of financial difficulty, and the competition of other inventors never let his passion for inventing dwindle. Edison was a business mogul, with very little education and a legacy of life changing technological contributions. These factors make Nicola tesla and Thomas Edison the models in which all
Before the 1600’s, electricity was not a huge concept. The idea of electricity or the need for it was very foreign to several people. Until one day, in the 1700’s, when a man of the name Benjamin Franklin introduced this idea and made it into a reality with his invention of the Electrostatic Machine. The Electrostatic Machine laid the groundwork for understanding electricity and magnetism in depth. In the 1600’s, philosophers, scientists, and instrument makers created many devices to generate
