1856 In July, Tesla was born in Smiliang, Croatia, Yugoslavia. From 65438 to 0895, he made generator sets for Nicaragua Power Station, which is still one of the world-famous hydropower stations. 1897, he made Marconi's radio communication theory come true.
1898, he built the world's first radio-controlled ship and obtained a patent for radio control technology. 1899, he invented the x-ray photography technology. Other inventions include: radio, radar, fax machine, vacuum tube, neon tube, missile navigation, interstellar defense system and so on. The unit of magnetic density (1 Tesla = 10000 gauss) is named after him, indicating his contribution to magnetism.
Although he devoted his life to continuous research and obtained about 1000 patent inventions, it did not make him rich, and Tesla was therefore financially strapped for years. 1943 65438+1On October 7th, Tesla died of heart failure in new york Hotel at the age of 86. In 2003, in memory of his idol Tesla, elon musk named Tesla Motor Company after him.
Although nikola tesla was not the earliest inventor of alternating current engine, he made outstanding contributions to the improvement of alternating current, just like Watt's improvement of steam engine. 1886, Tesla founded its own company-Tesla electric lamp and electric manufacturing company. But investors don't agree with Tesla's alternator plan.
1887, he assembled the earliest brushless AC induction motor, and made a demonstration for the American Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in 1888. In the same year, he developed the principle of Tesla coil.
And began to work with George Westinghouse in the laboratory of Westinghouse Electric Manufacturing Company in Pittsburgh. Westinghouse listened to his idea of using multiphase system to transmit alternating current over a long distance.
