Nikola Tesla: discover how his 10 predictions changed the world.

Nikola Tesla: how his predictions changed the world
Are you also one of those fascinated by the
Tesla Coil and by the eternal fighting between
Tesla and the American Edison? Then you are
in the right place. Enjoy the reading and let
me know your opinion in the comments?
Few characters in science history have around
themselves an aura of a legend like the inventor
Nikola Tesla (1856-1943).
Those who know the story
of Nikola Tesla, know that any term used to
describe his profession might seem reductive.
Scientist, physicist, engineer, inventor, none
of these words describe sufficiency the life
of Nikola Tesla. Maybe genius only can minimally
describe the life of this man.
A main actor of the electricity
revolution, Tesla was the prototype of the mad
genius. He invented the Tesla coil, whose impressive
electrical discharges were the symbol of the
mad scientist's laboratory. He had at the same
time superhuman mental abilities which
allowed him to elaborate in his mind complex electrical
machines and build them without taking any notes.
Nikola Tesla was a visionary
that changed the history of humanity with his
inventions. No wonder then if there is a large
community that consider the brilliant scientist a
kind of divinity. Tesla is according to them
the true father of an impressive amount of fundamental
inventions like the transistor, the radio, the
radar, the X-ray as well as the alternating
current.
Tesla's vision was always
ahead of his contemporaries; he imagined already
two centuries ago, a world where people could
communicate with radio waves, illuminate cities
without using wires. He was not afraid by the
innovation: for this aspect, Tesla will always
be an indisputable example.
Below you will find 10
of the thousands of inventions of Nikola Tesla,
even if many of these are not attributed to
him yet. Write in the comments at the bottom
which one is your favorite.
1. AC alternating current
TOne of Teslaâs greatest inventions was his alternating current (AC) power system. Prior to Tesla, most electricity was generated and transported using direct current (DC), a technology created by Thomas Edison. AC profoundly changed the way electricity could be transmitted over long distances, as it allows for greater efficiencies by reducing power loss and enabling power transmission at higher voltages. This revolutionized the way we use electricity today, propelling us into the modern age of convenience and comfort.
2. Light
Of course, he did not invent
the light, but he discovered how to channel
it and made possible for example the creation
of neon light. Tesla's invention of the
alternating current (AC) system of
electricity, along with his patents for high
voltage transformers, enabled neon light to
become widely available for commercial and
industrial use. This was due to the fact
that AC electricity allowed for a much
higher voltage than the direct current (DC)
system that was used before.
This made it possible
to create a much brighter, more efficient
light than before. Additionally, Tesla's
high voltage transformers made it possible
to power the lights for much longer
distances.
3. X Rays
Tesla described the discovery of X-rays by a German physicist, Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895. Intrigued and excited by this discovery, Tesla began to experiment with Roentgen's work. He soon developed an electrical lamp that gave off an intense "radiant energy." His invention allowed for the production of more powerful X-rays, which made it possible for doctors and scientists to get detailed images of internal organs and anatomy. As a result, physicians could diagnose and treat diseases much better than ever before.
4. Radio
In spite of
Guglielmo Marconiâs popular claim of inventing the radio, it was, in fact, Nikola Tesla who had first demonstrated a functioning version in 1893. Tesla patented this invention in 1897 and presented it to the public during a demonstration at his New York laboratory. This invention revolutionized communication, paving the way for television, mobile phones and todayâs wireless internet. Tesla went on to dedicate himself to developing remote control - a device working on similar principles as his radio inventions. The first two vessels that were guided by signals sent by remote control were launched simultaneously across two bodies of water - one boat at Madison Square Garden using terrestrial rays, and another boat in Uxbridge using invisible rays from wireless technology.
5. Remote control
Although later developed
during the two world wars, this is one of many
revolutionary inventions made by Nikola Tesla.
He demonstrated a radio-controlled boat that
could move in any direction. Even if today it might seem obvious, 100 years
ago the idea to control the movements of any
object by remote control was considered magic.
6. Electric motor
His research and experiments led to the development of the AC motor, which later revolutionized the power industry. His work also laid the foundation for modern electrical engineering and the use of alternating current. Tesla's inventions and research also helped to develop induction motors, polyphase systems, and single-phase alternating current motors. All of these technologies have become integral parts of the modern electrical grid.
7. Robotics
With the idea that all
living things are driven by electrical impulses,
Nikola Tesla put the basis for the creation of
robotics.
8.Laser
Used in thousands of ways,
the laser has revolutionized many fields, including
surgery. Tesla also made significant
contributions to the field of optics,
including introducing the concept of optical
resonance, which is an important concept in
the development of lasers. He also developed
an early form of holography, which was later
used in the development of laser technology.
Finally, Tesla was the first to suggest the
use of lasers for medical applications,
which later became a reality.
9. Wireless
Nikola Tesla is widely credited with
being the first person to discover and
develop the concept of wireless
communication. While building his laboratory
in Colorado Springs in 1899, Tesla conducted
experiments in which he sent wireless
electrical signals over a distance of 25
miles. He also constructed the first radio
transmitter and receiver, which he used to
transmit Morse code messages.
Tesla also built a large tower on Long
Island, New York, that transmitted wireless
energy. This tower, known as the
Wardenclyffe Tower, was designed to provide
free wireless energy to anyone who wanted
it, an idea that was ahead of its time.
Tesla's work laid the groundwork for the
advent of radio, television, cellular
phones, and wireless internet.
10. Free energy
Nikola Tesla suggested
the use of the earth energy to feed human activities,
leading consequently to a world less dependent
on fossil fuels and with fewer wars. A world
where the energy might be free for everyone.
This idea of free energy and freedom was presumably
the cause of the marginalization that Nikola
Tesla suffered.

unfortunately dead in solitude.
