Tesla could imaging things in his mind and put them to work.
The Electrical Review in 1896 published X-rays of a man, made by Tesla, with X-ray tubes of his own design. They appeared at the same time as when Roentgen announced his discovery of X-rays. Tesla never attempted to proclaim priority. Roentgen congratulated Tesla on his sophisticated X-ray pictures, and Tesla even wrote Roentgen's name on one of his films. He experimented with shadowgraphs similar to those that later were to be used by Wilhelm Rontgen when he discovered X-rays in 1895. Tesla's countless experiments included work on a carbon button lamp, on the power of electrical resonance, and on various types of lightning. Tesla invented the special vacuum tube which emitted light to be used in photography.
He didn't. Tesla did not invent the X-Ray. Wilhelm Röntgen did.Tesla is often reported as the inventor or discoverer. He did neither.X-rays even by electronic means were well known to fog film by the time Tesla reported his discoveries. He made some observations - which have been widely touted by the press but his work with them was actually pretty limited.X-rays, were observed by both Johann Hittorf and William Crookes in the 1870s with Crookes tubes. The effects of them wouldn't be understood to the uses we have for them today until Rontgen's work in 1889.
Tesla reported that, driven by his observation of mysterious damage to photographic plates in his laboratory, he began his investigation of x-rays at that time still unknown and unnamed in 1894.
Nikola Tesla's inventions are important because they laid the groundwork for much of modern electrical technology. His work on alternating current (AC) power systems revolutionized the way electricity is generated and distributed. Additionally, Tesla made significant contributions to wireless communication, X-ray technology, and radio transmission.
William Crookes first discovered the x-ray effect, but he didn't investigate it. Tesla investigated the effect, but it was Röntgen who named them X and realized what was really happening.
He created AC, alternating current. The source of electricity that the world uses today. He also invented neon, fluorescent lights, radio, X-ray, radar and so much more. The Star Wars project from the Reagan era was that of Nikola Tesla as well. HAARP in Alaska is also a product of Tesla.
William Crookes first discovered the x-ray effect, but he didn't investigate it. Tesla investigated the effect, but it was Röntgen who named them X and realized what was really happening, and thus Röntgen got the credit and the Nobel prize.

W. Roentgen invented the x-ray in 1895. Ok I know it's a matter of semantics, but Dr. Roentgen was in fact the "discoverer" of Roentgen-Rays on November 8th, 1895. "Roentgen" was too difficult a word for pre-industrial people to wrap their minds around so they shortened it to "X-Rays." To say that he "invented" them is a bit of a stretch considering that distant stars were emitting X-Rays billions of years before his birth. It's a bit like saying that Isaac Newton "invented" gravity. duh... I know, minutiae, idiot savant, yada yada, yada. Whatever. A Who is a Who, no matter how small. actually they were called x-rays because they were determined as a unknown ray at the time.

The Tesla Coil was invented in the year 1891 by Nikola Tesla.According to Wikipedia - 1891.While Nikola Tesla developed the principals that led to the Tesla Coil (in 1887), the exact date is unknown when the first one was produced.1891 is most likely because Tesla found out in 1892 (from William Roentgen) that the skin damage he suffered was from X-rays produced by his first Tesla Coil experiments.Tesla'a most famously durable contribution to the world is A/C electricity, still the world wide standard!All this is from Wikipedia.Truth is he did not invent the "Tesla coil". The "Tesla Coil" was actually invented by Elihu Thomson(Annual Report of the Smithsonian Institution, states that Tesla scaled up Thomson's transformer in order to attempt to transmit power without wires through the upper regions of the atmosphere.)Following this, the idea of wireless transmission of power was also did not belong to tesla, it belonged to Mahlon Loomis.Their is a large number of myths and false credit attributed to tesla the vast majority of his devices are not originally his.
