In Memory of the great Inventor, Electrical Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, and Futurist #NikolaTesla. He was best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. His patented AC induction motor and transformer were licensed by George Westinghouse, who also hired Tesla for a short time as a consultant. His work in the formative years of electric power development was also involved in the corporate struggle between making alternating current or direct current the power transmission standard, referred to as the War of Currents. Tesla went on to pursue his ideas of wireless lighting and electricity distribution in his high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments in New York and Colorado Springs and made early (1893) pronouncements on the possibility of wireless communication with his devices. He tried to put these ideas to practical use in his ill-fated attempt at intercontinental wireless transmission, which was his unfinished Wardenclyffe Tower project.[6] In his lab he also conducted a range of experiments with mechanical oscillators/generators, electrical discharge tubes, and early X-ray imaging. He even built a wireless controlled boat, one of the first ever exhibited. #Tesla #Inventor #Engineer #engineering #mechanicalengineering #MEchanics #electricity #Scientist #Physicist #OnthisDay #onthisdayinhistory #TodayinHistory #Quote #QuoteoftheDay #Quotes #motivationalQuotes #InspirationalQuote #Life #Sciencequotes #InMemoryof #bornonthisday #bornonthisdate #Science #Technology #alternatingcurrent #Fluorescent #technology #InMemoriam
