Were other inventors influenced by Nikola Tesla?
I'm sure others was moved by the example of Tesla. Nikola Tesla is finally beginning to attract real attention and encourage serious debate nearly 70 years after his death. He was attacked by Edison, whom we are taught in school to revere as a genius. He was also attacked by J.P. Morgan and other "captains of industry." Upon Tesla's death on January 7th, 1943, the U.S. government moved into his lab and apartment confiscating all of his scientific research, some of which has been released by the FBI through the Freedom of Information Act. Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point of the universe. Throughout space there is energy. -- Nikola Tesla, 1892
Who found new ways to use electricity?
If you're talking about DC vs AC, the man who found the most ways to use electricity and should be considered one of the founders of modern electricity is Nikola Tesla. Despite what many schools teach, Thomas Edison did not invent the light bulb. Nikola Tesla was the original inventor, Thomas Edison only adjusted it to be "sellable." Thomas Edison was an entrepreneur, not a scientist. He was interested in making money, not creating things. Nikola Tesla is practically the founder of all modern electricity, before Tesla we were using DC, which is direct current. This method was very inefficient, and required lots of power plants. Meanwhile, AC or alternate current, invented by Nikola Tesla, was much more efficient and it did not require a power plant every couple of blocks. Tesla even had a wireless version of the electricity - however Edison could not think of a way to make profit off of this, and therefore it was not implemented. To name a few of Tesla's inventions; radio, x-ray, radar, light bulb, remote control, electric motor, robotics, laser, and wireless. Many of his inventions were not implemented until later dates, and by people other than him over time who just did some tweaking.
When did Nikola Tesla invent the neon lamp?
The concept was thought up in 1675. In 1855 the Geissler Tube was invented, it would lead to neon lighting. The first purposeful neon light was made on December 11, 1910. For more information, look here: http://inventors.about.com/od/qstartinventions/a/neon.htm
When did Nikola Tesla invented alternating current?
Tesla invented the alternating-current generator that provides your light and electricity, the transformer through which it is sent, and even the high voltage coil of your picture tube. The Tesla Coil, in fact, is used in radios, television sets, and a wide range of other electronic equipment - invented in 1891, no-one's ever come up with anything better.
How did Tesla invent ac?
He didn't. He patented some work on AC power generation - and even that - to be honest isn't used by systems today contrary to what is often said on the internet.Hippolyte Pixii would probably be the closest to an 'inventor' of AC power as he created an AC generator in 1832. In many parts of Germany there was working 2 phase AC current in 1870. Mikhail Dolivo-Dobrovsky would build the first real working 3 phase system, generator, motor, etc., in 1888.This is before either Ferrari or Tesla's work, but in March 1888, Galileo Ferraris will publish and present a research in a paper to the Royal Academy of Sciences in Italy which reveals a Polyphase alternator - and two months later Nikola Tesla will get a Patent for a very very similar design, and be given credit.Tesla, will make a lot of advances in the design of polyphase alternators and deserves a lot of credit. But he didn't invent AC. He didn't invent the transformer (Ferrari didn't either) - that would be a guy named William Stanley in 1885.

Did Nikola Tesla try to make a death ray?
There are some people claiming he did so and I'm one of them.
What were some notable contributions by scientist Nikola Tesla?

Why do some say Nikola Tesla was murdered?
I have no idea how that came to be.
Was Nikola Tesla the only scientist in his family?

Why did you not use Nikola Tesla radio?

Some people are claiming he got the patent for his written work and that he didn't build a fuctional radio. This is not accurate. Nikola Tesla did build a radio and showed it's power which to the world.

Einstein in his own words testified that Tesla had some influence on him. Edison had some influence from Tesla even dought he never amited it.
How did george westinghouse become nikola tesla's mentor?
He bought some patents from him.
Did Nikola Tesla do the radio by hims self?
There is the Marconi incident which were when he got the patent. Marconi got that using some 17 patents registered by Nikola Tesla. Anyways, Marconi radio was a short range radio while Tesla's radio was a long wave radio. Nikola Tesla did make the radio by himself. The patent was turned to his name in 1943.
Why is Nikola Tesla not mentioned in the answer to who invented the Radio?
If you look, you will find that Marconi like Tesla stated, used some 17 patents belonging to Tesla. In 1943 the patent was given back to the original inventor Nikola Tesla. If your information doesn't mention this, you got the older information or one that lacks the truth.
