2. BIRTH & EARLY LIFE
 Nikola Tesla was born on July 10,1856 in Smiljian at
Lika, then part of Croatia
 And his father milutin Tesla and mother Duka mandic
and he has three sisters.
 Tesla studied at several institutions of higher learning
including the Polytechnic institute in Graz, Austria,
and the University of Prague.
 Tesla had originally planned on studying Physics and
Mathematics, but found himself fascinated with
Electricity.

3. EDISON COMPANY & EARLY CAREER
 In the early 1880’s Tesla joined the Continental Edison Company in Paris.
 Thomas Edison offered Nikola Tesla an opportunity to work for Edison himself in New York.
 Tesla came to the united states in 1884.
 Tesla and Edison had two differing views on Electric Current, Edison was in favor of Direct
Current (DC), and Tesla in favor of Alternating Current (AC).
 Direct current flows all in one direction, meanwhile Alternating Current changes direction
several times per second. Tesla believed that AC would be the future as it could transport
much farther along power lines than the very limited DC, which could only go about 2 miles.

4. WORKING WITH WESTINGHOUSE
 Tesla had designed and held 40 patents on generators,
motors, and transformers, all developed for the AC system.
 George Westinghouse purchased the patents from Tesla in
hopes of bringing Alternating Current to America, and
therefore the world.
 In 1882 Tesla created the Induction motor, based off his
recently discovered Rotating Magnetic Field principle.
 The Induction motor is used throughout the world today, in
both industrial and home settings.

5. TESLA’S NOTABLE WORK
 1880 constructs alternating current induction motor and
the Tesla coil
 Begins working with George Westinghouse at
Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company's
Pittsburgh labs
 Experiments with X-rays, mechanical resonance, radio
technology, radio controlling of a boat model

6. WIRELESS ENERGY TRANSMISSION
THE WAR OF CURRENTS
 Tesla demonstrated wireless energy transmission as
early as 1891. This so-called Tesla effect refers to the
movement of energy through space and matter.
 In the late 1880s, Tesla and Thomas Edison became
adversaries in part because of Edison's promotion of
direct current (DC) for electric power distribution over
the more efficient alternating current advocated by
Tesla and Westinghouse.

7. COLORADO SPRINGS
 While in Colorado Springs, Tesla discovered what he would
say was his most important discovery.
 Terrestrial Stationary Waves, this discovery meant that the
Earth could be “Used as a conductor and would be as
responsive as a tuning fork to certain frequencies of
electrical vibrations.”
 Using this technology, Tesla was able to light 200 lamps
without wires from 25 miles away.
 He also created man-made lightning, using this same
technology.

8. WARDENCLYFFE LABORATORY
 Using what he discovered in Colorado Springs, Tesla built the Wardenclyffe
laboratory on Long Island.
 The tower was 187 feet high, and had a 68 foot in diameter copper dome at the
top, housing the magnifying transmitter.
 This tower was supposed to be the first broadcast station, capable of
transmitting power without wires to anywhere on Earth.
 This would essentially turn the whole planet into a Dynamo, allowing unlimited
amounts of electricity to be projected to anywhere on the globe.
 Unfortunately the Tower was never finished, as Tesla’s Financier withdrew his
funding due to a dispute over the use of the tower.

9. STRUCTURE OF WARDENCLYFFE LABORATORY
 Unfortunately the Tower was never finished, as
Tesla’s Financier withdrew his funding due to a
dispute over the use of the tower.
 His famous comment was “If anyone can draw on
the power, where do we put the meter?” Meaning
that if you can get the power anywhere on the
globe, how can you charge someone for the
electricity?

10. END OF HIS LIFE
 Nikola Tesla became the time person of the year when he turned 75 . He got many
medal. Honour including appreciations from Albert Einstein.
 The world lost tesla at the age of 86 on 7th January 1943. But his legacy leaves in
our mind and heart .
 Nikola Tesla was an inventor who obtained around 300 patents worldwide for his
inventions.
 "Nikola Tesla Day" on July 10th.

OF INVENTION; BE ALONE THAT
