2. Nicolás tesla
He was a Serbian-born American inventor,
electrical engineer, and mechanic, noted for
his contributions to the design of the modern
alternating current electricity supply.
Tesla, who was born and raised in the Austrian Empire, applied
engineering and physics in the 1870s without obtaining a
degree, although he gained practical experience in the early
1880s working on the telephone for Continental Edison in the
new telephone industry. the electric energy.
3. In 1884 he emigrated to the United States, where he
acquired dual citizenship. He worked for a short time at the
Edison Machine Works in New York before striking out on his
own. With the help of partners to finance and commercialize
his ideas, Tesla founded laboratories and companies in New
York to develop electrical and mechanical devices. His
asynchronous alternating current (AC) motor and the patents
related to the polyphase system, licensed by Westinghouse
Electric in 1888, brought him large sums of money and also
became the cornerstone of the polyphase system finally
commercialized by this company.
4. In his attempts to develop inventions that he could patent and
market, Tesla experimented with mechanical
oscillators/generators, electric discharge tubes, and the first X-
ray images. He also built one of the first wireless remote-
controlled boats. He gained fame as an inventor, showcasing his
achievements in his laboratory to numerous personalities and
wealthy patrons, as well as being noted for his showmanship at
public lectures. Throughout the 1890s, Tesla continued to
investigate wireless lighting and the wireless distribution of
electrical power throughout the world through his experiments
with high-voltage, high-frequency power in New York and
Colorado Springs. In 1893 he announced the possibility of
establishing wireless communication with his devices and tried to
implement it in his unfinished project of the Wardenclyffe Tower,
an intercontinental wireless communication and power
transmitter, but ran out of funds before he could complete it.
