What are the most important inventions that Nikola Tesla made?

The real "Father of the Electric Age" was Nikola Tesla, who invented AC electricity (still used to day, by Edison's DC plan, you would need power stations every mile), was the first inventor of radar (Edison convinced the US that radar was not useable, and could have been deployed as early as WW1, saving a heck of a lot of trouble in the long run). Due to Edison screwing Tesla out of other deals, he was well in the works of building a tower to provide nearly unlimited free electricity, an essencial death ray that could essentially make all war useless (but by this point he was seeing laser pigeons. No. Seriously.), and a HUGE number of brilliant experiments that died with him. His notes on the mystery invention were never completed. "The Oatmeal" has a great piece on Tesla: "Why Nikola Tesla was the Greatest Geek who ever lived."


What was the most famous invention that Nikola Tesla invented?

Although N. Tesla invented many things, probably the most important invention was the alternating current (AC) motor. This allowed the world to use AC generating and transmission lines to transmit electricity over great distances with little power loss. Direct current cannot be generated or transmitted over long distances without great losses due to resistance.

How long did Nikola Tesla spend on each invention?

Contrary to the Mystique, Tesla was above all an engineer. Engineering was his education, his consuming passion, his daily practice. Tesla's inventing pushed forward relentlessly, sometimes oblivious to ruling-system interests and that is heroic. Tesla was exploited as the poster-boy for the emerging electric-power utility industry that was exploiting his AC inventions and in 1888 while Jack the ripper was commiting his horrible crimes, Nikola Tesla made a patent on his ac motor. Tesla invented the 60-cycle AC power system that runs civilization today, the dynamos, transformers, motors, regulators and arc lamps. This technology established, along with his own wealth and fame, Tesla went on inventing. A turning point was 1891, when Tesla applied for patent 462,418, a Method and Apparatus for Electrical Conversion and Distribution. This means that from 1888 - 1981, he had pioneer his expertice in ac, the system that stays until today. By 1944 Tesla's patent on the radio came forward. I assume you can calculate by now, how long did nikola tesla spend on each invention.
