Nikola Tesla

Vacuum tube tesla coils operate in a continuous wave mode of operation, continuously providing energy to the tesla coil secondary. As a result, the output is primarily determined by how much power the vacuum tube can process. A vacuum tube Tesla coil does not use a primary spark gap. Before vacuum sealing electronic devices, it is useful to leak check the device. Aside from saving a bit of time finishing off a device that is bound for failure, it lets you know exactly where the problems are, such that they may either be repaired if possible, or otherwise resolved when future devices are made.

Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla had a professional rivalry. Edison favored direct current (DC) electricity while Tesla championed alternating current (AC) technology. This led to conflict between them, especially during the "war of the currents." Despite this, they both respected each other's work and contributions to science and technology.

Since Nikola Tesla was one of the brightest inventors of the late 19th to early 20th century, writers and storytellers have made references to him in works of fiction. This happens either because of his actual devices and historical importance, or to describe his ways of thinking and the ways he pictured a device in his head before starting work on it (as in the biographical drama The Secret of Nikola Tesla [1980], with Orson Welles as J. P. Morgan,) or to introduce fictional inventions with him as the inventor of seemingly impossible things (as in the movie The Prestige [2006] where a magician has Tesla build him an electrical device that can duplicate any object including the magician himself.)

As a fiction element (or an element in fiction,) the sort of fiction element Nikola Tesla would be is a character. More specifically, he would be a historical character. In a work of fiction, a historical character may be either fictionalized, or referenced factually as background information for other characters. A historical character may also be depicted in a history or documentary, which uses only historical photos and documents (such as the documentary film Nikola Tesla: The Genius Who Lit the World.)

A fictional element of Nikola Tesla (as distinct from a fiction element) is Unobtainium, an element which Tesla claims to have discovered in the plot of "Unobtainium 2012" a participatory drama festival in Dale, Texas, November 10th and 11th, 2012. (The fictional element Unobtainium has a long history going back to the 1950s, and is not usually associated with Tesla.)

Edison's direct current was the system used in the late 1800's. This system brought problems like electrocutions and house fires. Tesla was offered 50,000 dollars to get this system working properly and as a matter of fact, it was his first job when he came to the United States. Edison got the work done and refused to pay so tesla quit and started his own company. Tesla beat Edison on lighting the whole world with his alternating current system.

Tesla changed the way the whole world lives. He invented the alternate current system for producing electrify to the whole world. All wireless units have the base in the Tesla coil. Even bulbs we use today were invented by him. The first things we have to know about bulbs lights is that Edison did not invent those, but only improve them by filling them with copper linings of metals. The second thing is that the Edison patent is outlawed in many countries including the United States and the patent used is the Tesla patent 455,069, dated June 30, 1891. In the Tesla bulbs, the union was better and never had a case of one catching fire like the Edison bulbs. He also made them to allow them to turn on wirelessly. Tesla hypothesized that he could transmit unlimited amounts of power to any place on earth with virtually no loss. The first 'Magnifier' was assembled in New York City between 1895 to 1898. In 1899 a larger magnifier was constructed in Colorado Springs, Colorado with the patent "System of Electric Lighting," U.S. Patent 454,622, 23 June 1891. Tesla spent his remaining funds on his other inventions and culminated his efforts in a major breakthrough in 1899 at Colorado Springs by transmitting 100 million volts of high-frequency electric power wirelessly over a distance of 26 miles at which he lit up a bank of 200 light bulbs and ran one electric motor! With this souped up version of his Tesla coil, Tesla claimed that only 5% of the transmitted energy was lost in the process.

Tesla's work on particle beam weapons can be traced all the way back to 1893 with his invention of a button lamp, and again to 1896 when he replicated the work of William Roentgen, discoverer of X-rays. At that time, Tesla was "shooting" X-rays over considerable distances, creating photographs of skeletons sometimes as far away as 40 feet from the source of the gun. Tesla was also involved in experiments with shooting cathode rays at targets. This and similar work from one of Tesla's British colleagues, J.J. Thompson, led to the discovery, by Thompson, of the electron. During that period in the mid-1890's, Tesla conversed often with Thompson, particularly in the electrical journals.

At about the year 1918, Tesla apparently had a laser-like apparatus that he shot at the moon. From studying his great 1893 work THE INVENTIONS, RESEARCHES AND WRITINGS OF NIKOLA TESLA, it is apparent that the button lamp discussed above had all of the components necessary to create a laser beam.

This lamp was so constructed so as to place a piece of matter such as carbon, or a diamond or a ruby, in the center, and bombard this "button" with electrical energy that would bounce off the button onto the inside of the globe and bounce back onto the button. If this were a ruby, and Tesla specifically worked with rubies, then is exactly how a ruby laser is created. Tesla refers in INVENTIONS to a "pencil-thin" line of light that was created with this device. It is my belief that Tesla not only invented the ruby laser in 1893, but he also demonstrated it and published it's results. The problem with the device was that it was set up so as to "vaporize," or destroy, the button, so that the laser effects were probably short-lived.

However, if we jump ahead to the 1918 story, which was told to me by Coleman Czito's grandson's wife, it is very possible that Tesla used the same or similar kind of apparatus to send laser pulses to the moon.

Now, to get to the particle beam weapon, this is an entirely separate invention and evolved from, all things, a pop gun that he used as a boy. The pop gun works by pumping air into the barrel and causing the cork to come barreling out. This gun could be used to shoot targets and small animals, and Tesla discusses this gun in his autobiography.

What Tesla realized was that a "ray" would not have the energy requirement to be destructive. Also, even if he had a laser, or laser-like ray, it would still disperse somewhat, over long distances. So Tesla came to the conclusion that instead of shooting a ray of light, he would shoot microscopic pellets. The stream could not disperse because, theoretically, it would be one pellet thick.

After studying the Van de Graaff electrostatic generator, which used a cardboard belt to generate the high voltages, Tesla came to utilize the same essential set-up to generate tremendous charges, but he replaced the belt with an ionized stream of air and then used this electrified stream to "repel" the small pellets which were made out of tungsten. These pellets were shot out of an open-ended vacuum tube which was shaped in the form of a cannon.

It is my belief that this device, which was presented to the International Tesla Society by the late Dr. Andrija Puharich at the 1984 Tesla Centennial Symposium (and published in that proceedings as, essentially, Tesla's 1937 top secret patent application), was designed to be as large as the tower at Wardenclyffe. The shaft, which could have been as tall as 100 feet, would contain the "belt" of ionized stream of air.

The round bulbous part of the tower would continue to circulate the ionized stream and hold the charge, and out the top of the tower there would be the long barrel of the gun. Such a machine, which Tesla tried to sell during World War II to the United States, England, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, would be able to shoot down incoming planes at distances of about 300 miles.

Proof that this device was given to the Soviets has been established by such individuals as Colonel Tom Bearden, who points out that the May 2, 1977 issue of AVIATION WEEK, displays a picture of a Soviet particle beam weapon, (along with the accompanying 7000 word article) that is almost a carbon copy of the picture in Tesla's 1937 patent application, which, as stated above has been published in the ITS 1984 proceedings.

A question remains as to whether or not Tesla actually constructed a particle beam weapon. I believe that when looks at this question from a historical standpoint, we see that he had been working on this and similar devices for over 30 years. Thus, it is my opinion that Tesla did, indeed, construct a working model. At the age of 81, at a luncheon in his honor, concerning the Death Ray, Tesla stated,

"But it is not an experiment.... I have built, demonstrated and used it. Only a little time will pass before I can give it to the world."-Nikola Tesla-

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.

By 1888 Nikola Tesla built and patented his alternating current motor wich is the one to power homes and builduings today.

Nikola Tesla died in Hotel New Yorker in Manhattan, on January 7, 1943 at the age of 86, in Suite 3327 on the 33rd Floor. The Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, New York City, was the place where Nikola Tesla had funeral services. His ashes were placed in a golden sphere and are displayed in the Tesla Museum, Belgrade. The cause was natural causes.

Nikola Tesla's mentor was Thomas Edison, the renowned American inventor and businessman. Tesla initially worked for Edison but the two had a strained relationship due to differing views on electricity. Tesla later found guidance and support from George Westinghouse, who became a key figure in promoting Tesla's alternating current (AC) technology.

In the related links box below, I posted the video.

Nikola Tesla did not invent fluorescent lighting. The modern fluorescent lamp was actually invented by Peter Cooper Hewitt in the early 20th century. Tesla did, however, make significant contributions to the field of electrical engineering and worked on various technologies including alternating current (AC) electricity and radio communication.

Nikola Tesla was an inventor and electrical engineer known for his contributions to the development of the alternating current (AC) electrical system. He conducted experiments and patented a variety of technologies during his time in the United States, including the Tesla coil and the Tesla turbine. Tesla also worked on wireless communication and wireless transmission of electrical power.

Nikola Tesla's older brother Dane died in a horse-riding accident when Tesla was around 12 years old.

Nikola Tesla did receive credit for his inventions during his lifetime, but he faced challenges in commercializing and monetizing them. He was known for his contributions to the development of alternating current (AC) electricity systems, radio technology, and wireless communication. Tesla's work has been recognized posthumously, and he is now considered one of the most influential inventors in history.

Yes. For any problem or short circuit on LT side there are lot of chances for HT winding to get affected.

Usaually the weakest point gets affected, it may be tap changer or the HV Windings.

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.

Nikola Tesla developed the concept of alternating current (AC) by designing a system that used a rotating magnetic field to generate AC electricity. He developed different types of electrical transformers and induction motors that were crucial for the widespread adoption of AC power systems. Tesla's contributions to AC technology are fundamental to how electricity is generated and distributed today.

When Nikola Tesla died, he died essentially penniless and in debt. His patents and ideas had mostly been forgotten, and he did not have much wealth or valuable assets to his name. Tesla's contributions to science and technology were not fully recognized until after his death.

Nikola Tesla invented the Tesla coil in his workshop in New York City in the late 19th century. He first publicly demonstrated the device in 1891 at the American Institute of Electrical Engineers.

A Tesla meter is used to measure the strength of a magnetic field produced around a magnet or current-carrying conductor. To use it, simply place the Tesla meter near the magnetic source and take a reading of the magnetic field strength displayed on the device's screen. Some Tesla meters may require calibration or adjustment before use.

Nikola Tesla first worked for Thomas Edison in the US, but their working relationship soured due to differing opinions on electric power distribution. Tesla eventually went on to establish his own company and make significant contributions to the field of electrical engineering.

Nikola Tesla dropped out of school during his last year at the Technical University in Graz, Austria, due to financial problems and a disagreement with his professors. He chose to pursue work experience rather than completing his studies.
