Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla earned a bachelor's degree in engineering from the Technical University of Graz and later studied physics and mathematics at the University of Prague without earning a degree. Tesla did not have a formal education up to the doctoral level, but he pursued extensive self-study throughout his career.

Nikola Tesla was known to have spoken multiple languages. He was fluent in Serbo-Croatian, his native language, and also spoke English, Czech, French, German, and Italian.

There is no strong evidence to suggest that Mark Twain financed Nikola Tesla. However, they did have mutual admiration for each other's work, and Twain did visit Tesla's laboratory a few times. They were known to be friends and enjoyed each other's company.

Ucchishtha is basically food remnants. It can also be the remnants of a sacrifice in Tantra. Ucchishtha is a sacred offering to Matangi-Devi, the powerful outcaste goddess whom is high priestess to the Goddess Lalita/Tripura Sundari.

Tesla wrote many autobiographical articles for the prominent journal Electrical Experimenter, collected in the book, My Inventions. Tesla was gifted with intense powers of visualization and exceptional memory from early youth on. He was able to fully construct, develop and perfect his inventions completely in his mind before committing them to paper.

The book Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) - Lectures, Patents, Articles, now out of print, is the first major reference work published by the Nikola Tesla Museum in Beograd about the inventor. The edition appeared in 1956 and the book was subsequently reprinted in 1991. It contains the text of four lectures delivered by Tesla during the period between 1888 and 1893 plus one delivered in absentia in 1898. As for patents, the book contains only those granted to Tesla in the United States; the compilers chose to include only 99 of the 112 patents actually issued to him. Additionally there are 17 scientific and technical articles written between 1891 and 1920, 7 articles of a general nature written between 1897 and 1917, and an autobiographical article from 1915.

He was the John Scott medal for his polyphase power system in 1934.

No, Nikola Tesla was never awarded a Nobel Prize. Although his work laid the groundwork for much of modern electrical engineering, he was never recognized with a Nobel Prize during his lifetime in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

I posted a site that c0uld help help you in the related links below.

Among the many awards and honors to his credit, Nikola Tesla was the recipient of Edison Medal in 1917. The International Unit of Magnetic Flux Density was named after him and is called "Tesla". A commemorative stamp was taken out by US Postal Services in the year 1983. The Order of Danilo was conferred upon him by King Nikola of Montenegro. To recognize his contributions in the field of electrical engineering, the 'Nikola Tesla' award was instituted in 1976 by the Institute of Electrical Engineers. July 10th every year is celebrated as Nikola Tesla Day in the United States.

The Tesla family lived in a three-room flat, in a new building, across the street from the recently-built Junior High school .That was in the 1860s. by that date Tesla was in Grade Two of the primary school.

In 1881 he started working.

Nope. He gets the credit but Maxwell and Faraday did the work. :) Induction heating using Hysterisis will be Steinmetz work. :) Tesla didn't discover that either.

Tesla was brilliant and he discovered a lot of things. But people attribute a lot to his observations of things which were already known - because he was in the papers a lot - as if he discovered them when he didn't. (He also seldom corrected anyone.)

When we talk about the electric generator Nikola Tesla invented we could refer to 2 different inventions. The U.S. Patent 0447921 - Alternating Electric Current Generator - 1891 Is one. Us Patent 428057 - Pyromagneto-Electric Generator is another one.

Nikola Tesla is a non longer living person so we can not ask him this question. To my mind, it just was the thing he beleived he had to do.

Other than iventions, he had a job in a telophone company and when he quit working for Edison, Tesla in need of work, eventually found himself digging ditches for a short period until he formed his own company, Tesla Electric Light & Manufacturing. After that he worked for the Westinghouse company.

In the "War of Currents" era in the late 1880s, George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison became adversaries due to Edison's promotion of direct current (DC) for electric power distribution over alternating current (AC) advocated by Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla.

Edison had major flaws in his DC machine. Tesla made it work right. Edison has the pattent. In few words looking back in time, research shows that Edison had his inventors working for him getting him the patents.

Edison never had ideas like Tesla had.

1884 Nikola Tesla invented the electric alternator, an electric generator that produces alternating current (AC). Until this time electricity had been generated using direct current (DC) from batteries. AC electrical systems are better for sending electricity over long distances as DC can only travel 5 miles at best.

George Westinghouse invented the air brake for electric railway cars around the 1880's. He also purchased the patent rights to generators which used alternating currents, as well as patenting transformers that reduced high-voltage power to lower voltage levels. His new system made long-distance transmission more efficient, over Edison's system of direct current which couldn't transmit electricity very far.

In 1888 Tesla designed the first practical system of generating and transmitting alternating current for electric power. The American rights to this epoch-making invention were bought by the American inventor George Westinghouse, who demonstrated the system for the first time at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Two years later Tesla's alternating-current motors were installed at the Niagara Falls power project. Tesla made his first invention, then called a telephone repeater, or amplifier, but today would be called a loud speaker.

Probly sometime in the 1800's but not really sure...

Nikola Tesla worked for Edison making the Edison Direct currrent machine workable because Edison and his scientists could not make it work properly. Edison was not good to his word and negleted the promise money he offered. Nikola parted his way and now we have his inventions.

Edison is known for the most stolen patents in history. He did work the direct current motor but it caused a lot of problem. People got electrocuted and there were many fires caused by that. Tesla fixed the problem but Edison did not pay sum offered.

Tesla invented the electric generators as the patent shows the date to be 1888. He was from Croatia.
The scientist tesla is from this country he invented electrical generators?

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.

Tesla completed his elementary education in Croatia. He continued his schooling in the Polytechnic School in Graz and finished at University of Prague. He worked as an electrical engineer in Germany, Hungary and France before emigrating to the United States in 1884.
