Good evening teacher and classmates
This presentation will talk about one of the most famous geniuses
in history, who is Nikola Tesla.
Nikola Tesla was born in Smiljan, present-day Croatia, on July 10,
1856.
When he was three years old, he experienced an episode that
would change the direction of his life: while he was stroking his
cat's back, the touch of his hand produced a shower of sparks and
he wanted to find out why. He asked his father, who explained to a
priest that it was the same phenomenon that occurred in the trees
during a storm: electricity.

4. In 1886, Tesla founded his own company, Tesla Electric Light &
Manufacturing. Early investors disagreed with his plans for the
development of an alternating current motor and eventually
relieved him of his position at the company.
In 1887, he built a brushless induction motor, powered by
alternating current, which he presented to the American Institute of
Electrical Engineers in 1888. That same year he developed his coil
principle, and began working with George Westinghouse at the
Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company's Pittsburgh
laboratories.
