He showed it to the navy. He had in mind to use the remote controled boats to bomb enemy ships.
The whole world uses his ac electrical system. The radio was an Tesla invention and also the remote control was invented by him.
Nikola Tesla invented an early form of remote control known as the teleautomation system in the late 19th century, around the 1890s. His technology laid the foundation for modern remote control devices.
I feel that Nikola Tesla enjoyed his worked inventions and took pride in them. No where in history, Nikola Tesla stated he prefered a specific invention.
At the Electrical Exhibition of 1898, Tesla demostrated something beyond the limits of technology. His remote control, patent No. 613,809 (1898) was shown there. This inventions was made in the US. Tesla was living in New York.
His mayor deed was the invention of the electrical system the whole word uses daily. Then comes the wireless contribution. All wireless devices are based on the Tesla coil. A Tesla coil is an electrical resonant transformer circuit invented by Nikola Tesla around 1891. He was also the pioneer on remote control.
Tesla had patents in various countries.
That was the Tesla coil.
In 1898 he showed his remote control bote which he did so in the US.
Tesla coil. An air -core transformer
what year was the remote control invented?
That Nikola's Patent 613,809. He named it "Method of an Apparatus for Controlling Mechanism of Moving Vehicle or Vehicles" or what we now know today as remote control. A device most people use daily was not only theorized but developed back in 1893 by Nikola Tesla. Tesla called them "Teleautomatons". He demonstrated the system to the Navy by blowing up a target with one of his "Teleautomatons" remotely.
He got the patent in 1998. At first he was going to sell the invention to the navy. He didn't complement the idea to sell as a toy. Today, almost everything is controlled remotely.
