Nikola Tesla was born and raised in theAustrian Empire, Tesla first studied engineering and physics in the 1870s without receiving a degree. He then gained practical experience in the early 1880s working intelephonyand atContinental Edisonin the newelectric power industry. In 1884 he immigrated to the United States, where he became anaturalized citizen. He worked for a short time at theEdison Machine Worksin New York City before he struck out on his own. With the help of partners to finance and market his ideas, Tesla set up laboratories and companies in New York to develop a range of electrical and mechanical devices. His ACinduction motorand relatedpolyphaseAC patents, licensed byWestinghouse Electricin 1888, earned him a considerable amount of money and became the cornerstone of thepolyphase systemwhich that company eventually marketed. Attempting to develop inventions he could patent and market, Tesla conducted a range of experiments with mechanicaloscillators/generators,electrical dischargetubes, and earlyX-ray imaging. He also built awirelesslycontrolled boat, one of the first ever exhibited. Tesla became well known as an inventor and demonstrated his achievements to celebrities and wealthy patrons at his lab, and was noted for his showmanship at public lectures. Throughout the 1890s, Tesla pursued his ideas for wireless lighting and worldwide wireless electric power distribution in his high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments in New York andColorado Springs. In 1893, he made pronouncements on the possibility ofwireless communicationwith his devices. Tesla tried to put these ideas to practical use in his unfinishedWardenclyffe Towerproject, an intercontinental wireless communication and power transmitter, but ran out of funding before he could complete it. After Wardenclyffe, Tesla experimented with a series of inventions in the 1910s and 1920s with varying degrees of success. Having spent most of his money, Tesla lived in a series of New York hotels, leaving behind unpaid bills. He died in New York City in January 1943.Tesla's work fell into relative obscurity following his death, until 1960, when theGeneral Conference on Weights and Measuresnamed theInternational System of Units(SI) measurement ofmagnetic flux densitytheteslain his honor. There has been a resurgence in popular interest in Tesla since the 1990s. Truly, Tesla was a genius, and an icon! A remarkable and important man! Own this piece of history today.
