    Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American engineer and inventor who developed alternating current (AC) electrical systems in the late 1800s. He filed over 300 patents in his lifetime and made extraordinary contributions to electromagnetism, wireless communications, electric motors, and more. Some of Tesla's most important inventions included the rotating magnetic field, Tesla coil, and basic system of radio. Though he dreamed up concepts like a 'death ray' and force field that remained theoretical, Tesla's work paved the way for technologies used in power grids, electronics, and wireless devices today.

    The fascinating life of Nikola Tesla, the genius who electrified the world
    and dreamed up death rays
    Dave Mosher Jul 10, 2017, 2:28 PM

    Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American


    engineer and inventor who is highly
    regarded in energy history for his
    development of alternating current (AC)
    electrical systems. He also made
    extraordinary contributions in the fields
    of electromagnetism and wireless radio
    communications.

    Without Tesla, you might not be able to


    affordably power your home, let alone read this sentence.

    Tesla filed more than 300 patents during his 86 years of life, and his inventions helped pave the
    way for alternating current (AC), electric motors, radios, fluorescent lights, lasers, and remote
    controls, among many other things.

    In college, Tesla was initially interested in studying physics and mathematics, but soon became
    fascinated by electricity. He claimed he never slept for more than two hours at a time.
    However, Tesla did admit to dozing off sometimes to "recharge his batteries." According to one
    report, he once worked for 84 hours without sleeping.

    In 1882, Tesla discovered the rotating magnetic field, a principle of physics that forms the basis
    for nearly all devices that use AC power. Tesla also worked closely with industrialist and
    inventor George Westinghouse, and their partnership helped establish electricity across
    America.

    He also invented the Tesla coil, a device that is widely used today in radios, TV sets, and other
    electronics.

    in 1891, Tesla developed an induction coil that produced high-frequency alternating currents,
    now known as the Tesla coil. He used it in experiments to produce electric lighting, X-rays, and
    wireless power, and it became the basis of radio and TV. Today, the coils are mostly used in
    educational displays and entertainment.

    Tesla patented the basic system of radio in 1896. The invention of radio is often credited to
    Guglielmo Marconi, who made the first transatlantic radio transmission in 1901. But Tesla
    developed patents for the basic elements of a radio transmitter that were later used by Marconi
    — a point that led the two into a court battle.

    Tesla also dreamed up two concepts that remained purely theoretical: the 'death ray' and an
    'impenetrable wall of force' that'd ward off foreign invasions.
