Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. He invented the rotating magnetic field, the basis of most alternating-current machinery. Tesla founded Tesla Electric Light & Manufacturing in Rahway, New Jersey to commercialize his AC patents. Some of his other inventions included the Tesla coil, wireless energy transmission, and an alternating current induction motor. He died alone in New York City in 1943.

NIKOLA TESLA
Nikola Tesla was born
on 10 July 1856 in Smiljan. He was an inventor, mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer. Died on 7 January 1943 in New York.
ABOUT HIS WORK
In addition to his work on electromagnetism and electromechanical engineering Tesla contributed in varying degrees to the establishment of robotics, remote control, radar, and computer science, and to the expansion of ballistics, nuclear physics, and theoretical physics.
INVENTIONS He invented a rotating magnetic field and poly phase system of alternating currents. He had a theoretical invention of ionpropellerd aircraft.
TESLAS EGG OF COLUMBUS
It was used to demonstrate and explain the principles of the rotating magnetic field model and the induction motor. The egg spins on its major axis, standing on end due to gyroscopic action.
TESLAS BIGGEST INVENTION
Wardenclyffe Tower (19011917) also known as the Tesla Tower, was an early wireless telecommunications tower designed by Nikola Tesla and intended for commercial transAtlantic wireless telephony, broadcasting, and to demonstrate the transmission of power without interconnecting wires. The core facility was not completed due to financial problems and was never fully operational.
TESLAS PARENTS Teslas father Milutin was an Orthodox priest, and his mother Georgina Mandi ( called uka ) was uneducated but very intelligent. His familys first last name was Dragani. One of the assumptions was that Teslas family carries a name after a Roman settlement Tesleum locadet near the place called Radu.
TESLAS SIBLINGS One older brother (Dane, who was killed in a horse-riding accident when Nikola was five) and three sisters (Milka, Angelina and Marica).
TESLAS EDUCATION He attended a german Primary school in Smiljan, and ended it in Gospi. Then he attended school at Higher Real Gymnasium in Karlovac. He finished a four-year term in the span of three years. Tesla then studied electrical engineering at the Austrian Polytechnic in Graz (1875).While there, he studied the uses of alternating current. Some sources say he received Baccalaureate degrees from the university at Graz.
However, the university says that he
did not receive a degree and did not continue beyond the first semester of his third year, during which he stopped attending lectures. Tesla was later persuaded by his father to attend the Charles-Ferdinand University in Prague, which he attended for the summer term of 1880. Here, he was influenced by Ernst Mach. However, after his father died, he left the university, having completed only one term.
TESLAS FRIEND
In middle age, Tesla became close friends
with Mark Twain. They spent a lot of time together in his lab and elsewhere.
He did not like
posing for portraits, he did it only once for princess Vilma Lwoff-Parlghy. His wish was to have a sculpture made by his friend, Croatian sculptor Ivan Mestrovic, who was at that time in United States, but he died before getting a chance to see it.
TESLAS LIFE IN FRANCE
In 1882 he moved to Paris, to work as an engineer for the Continental Edison Company, designing improvements to electric equipment brought overseas from Edison's ideas. According to his autobiography, in the same year he conceived the induction motor and began developing various devices that use rotating magnetic fields for which he received patents in 1888.
TESLAS LIFE IN THE US
On 6 June 1884, Tesla first arrived in the United States, in New York City with little besides a letter of recommendation from Charles Batchelor, a former employer. In the letter of recommendation to Thomas Edison, Batchelor wrote, "I know two great men and you are one of them; the other is this young man." Edison hired Tesla to work for his Edison Machine Works. Tesla's work for Edison began with simple electrical engineering and quickly progressed to solving some of the company's most difficult problems. Tesla was even offered the task of completely redesigning the Edison
TESLAS COMPANY The Tesla Electric Light & Manufacturing was a company formed by Nikola Tesla in 1886. Located in Rahway, New Jersey, the company was formed after Tesla left Thomas Edison's employment, after a contractual disagreement. Tesla planned to sell and license his patent and innovations. Tesla invented an arc lamp of high efficiency; the carbon electrodes were controlled by electromagnets or solenoids and a clutch mechanism and had an automatic fail switch. The company earned money, but most of the capital gained went to the investors.
TESLAS DEATH Tesla died of heart failure alone in room 3327 of the New Yorker Hotel, on 7th January 1943. Despite having sold his AC electricity patents, Tesla died with significant debts. Later that year the US Supreme Court upheld Tesla's patent number 645576 in a ruling that served as the basis for patented radio technology in the United States. ***The urn with Tesla's ashes in Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade ***
