[M]With the help of partners to[/M] fund and [M]commercialize his ideas[/M], [M]Tesla[/M] set up laboratories and companies in New York to develop a variety of electrical and mechanical devices.

Nikola Tesla (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Тесла), born July 10, 1856 in Smiljan in the Austrian Empire (in present-day Croatia), died January 7, 1943 in New York, was a Serbian-American inventor and mechanical and electrical engineer. Tesla was one of the most significant contributors to the emergence of commercial electricity. He is best known for his many revolutionary contributions in electromagnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Large parts of Tesla's patents and theoretical works formed the basis of modern AC technology, including multiphase distribution systems and AC motors, which paved the way for the Second Industrial Revolution. He was an ethnic Serb, born in the Austrian Empire and later became a US citizen. After Tesla's demonstration of wireless communication (radio) in 1893 and after winning the so-called "power war", he was widely known as one of the greatest electrical engineers working in the United States. During this period, few American inventors and scientists could compete with Tesla as the most famous, but due to its eccentric personality and its incredible and sometimes bizarre claims of possible scientific and technological breakthroughs, Tesla was eventually frozen and considered a mad scientist. Tesla was never particularly familiar with its private finances and died destitute at the age of 86. At the General Conference on Weight and Measures in Paris in 1960, it was decided that Tesla would have the SI unit for magnetic flux density or magnetic induction (known as the magnetic field B) named after it.

Nikola Tesla (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Тесла), born July 10, 1856 in Smiljan in the Austrian Empire (in present-day Croatia), died January 7, 1943 in New York, was a Serbian-American inventor and mechanical and electrical engineer. Tesla was one of the most significant contributors to the emergence of commercial electricity. He is best known for his many revolutionary contributions in electromagnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Large parts of Tesla's patents and theoretical works formed the basis of modern AC technology, including multiphase distribution systems and AC motors, which paved the way for the Second Industrial Revolution. He was an ethnic Serb, born in the Austrian Empire and later became a US citizen. After Tesla's demonstration of wireless communication (radio) in 1893 and after winning the so-called "power war", he was widely known as one of the greatest electrical engineers working in the United States. During this period, few American inventors and scientists could compete with Tesla as the most famous, but due to its eccentric personality and its incredible and sometimes bizarre claims of possible scientific and technological breakthroughs, Tesla was eventually frozen and considered a mad scientist. Tesla was never particularly familiar with its private finances and died destitute at the age of 86.

During this period, few American inventors and scientists could compete with Tesla as the most famous, but due to its eccentric personality and its incredible and sometimes bizarre claims of possible scientific and technological breakthroughs, Tesla was eventually frozen and considered a mad scientist. Tesla was never particularly familiar with its private finances and died destitute at the age of 86.

Nikola Tesla (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Тесла), born July 10, 1856 in Smiljan in the Austrian Empire (in present-day Croatia), died January 7, 1943 in New York, was a Serbian-American inventor and mechanical and electrical engineer. Tesla was one of the most significant contributors to the emergence of commercial electricity. He is best known for his many revolutionary contributions in electromagnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Large parts of Tesla's patents and theoretical works formed the basis of modern AC technology, including multiphase distribution systems and AC motors, which paved the way for the Second Industrial Revolution.

Nikola Tesla (Serbian: Никола Тесла; [nǐkola têsla]; Smiljan, Austrian Empire, July 10, 1856—New York, January 7, 1943) was a Serbian inventor, electrical engineer, and mechanical engineer, best known for his contributions the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. Born and raised in the Austrian Empire, Tesla studied engineering and physics in the 1870s without graduating, and gained practical experience in the early 1880s working in telephony and Continental Edison in the new electric power industry. In 1884, he emigrated to the United States and became a naturalized American citizen. He worked for a short period at Edison Machine Works in New York before starting on his own. With the help of partners to fund and commercialize his ideas, Tesla set up laboratories and companies in New York to develop a variety of electrical and mechanical devices. His AC induction motor and patents relating to the polyphase system, licensed by Westinghouse Electric in 1888, earned him a considerable amount of money and became the cornerstone of the polyphase system the company eventually marketed. Trying to develop inventions that he could patent and market, Tesla conducted a series of experiments with mechanical oscillators/generators, electrical discharge tubes, and radiography. He also built a remote-controlled boat, one of the first ever shown. Tesla became known as an inventor and demonstrated his achievements to wealthy celebrities and patrons in his laboratory, and distinguished himself by his talent in public speaking. During the 1890s, Tesla followed his ideas for wireless lighting and worldwide wireless electrical power distribution in his high-voltage and high-frequency experiments in New York and Colorado Springs.

With the help of partners to fund and commercialize his ideas, Tesla set up laboratories and companies in New York to develop a variety of electrical and mechanical devices. His AC induction motor and patents relating to the polyphase system, licensed by Westinghouse Electric in 1888, earned him a considerable amount of money and became the cornerstone of the polyphase system the company eventually marketed. Trying to develop inventions that he could patent and market, Tesla conducted a series of experiments with mechanical oscillators/generators, electrical discharge tubes, and radiography. He also built a remote-controlled boat, one of the first ever shown. Tesla became known as an inventor and demonstrated his achievements to wealthy celebrities and patrons in his laboratory, and distinguished himself by his talent in public speaking. During the 1890s, Tesla followed his ideas for wireless lighting and worldwide wireless electrical power distribution in his high-voltage and high-frequency experiments in New York and Colorado Springs.

Nikola Tesla (Serbian: Никола Тесла; [nǐkola têsla]; Smiljan, Austrian Empire, July 10, 1856—New York, January 7, 1943) was a Serbian inventor, electrical engineer, and mechanical engineer, best known for his contributions the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. Born and raised in the Austrian Empire, Tesla studied engineering and physics in the 1870s without graduating, and gained practical experience in the early 1880s working in telephony and Continental Edison in the new electric power industry. In 1884, he emigrated to the United States and became a naturalized American citizen. He worked for a short period at Edison Machine Works in New York before starting on his own. With the help of partners to fund and commercialize his ideas, Tesla set up laboratories and companies in New York to develop a variety of electrical and mechanical devices. His AC induction motor and patents relating to the polyphase system, licensed by Westinghouse Electric in 1888, earned him a considerable amount of money and became the cornerstone of the polyphase system the company eventually marketed. Trying to develop inventions that he could patent and market, Tesla conducted a series of experiments with mechanical oscillators/generators, electrical discharge tubes, and radiography. He also built a remote-controlled boat, one of the first ever shown. Tesla became known as an inventor and demonstrated his achievements to wealthy celebrities and patrons in his laboratory, and distinguished himself by his talent in public speaking.

[M]Nikola Tesla (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Тесла[/M]), born July 10, 1856 in Smiljan in the Austrian Empire (in present-day Croatia), died January 7, 1943 in New York, was a Serbian-American inventor and mechanical and electrical engineer.

Nikola Tesla (Serbian: Никола Тесла; [nǐkola têsla]; Smiljan, Austrian Empire, July 10, 1856—New York, January 7, 1943) was a Serbian inventor, electrical engineer, and mechanical engineer, best known for his contributions the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. Born and raised in the Austrian Empire, Tesla studied engineering and physics in the 1870s without graduating, and gained practical experience in the early 1880s working in telephony and Continental Edison in the new electric power industry. In 1884, he emigrated to the United States and became a naturalized American citizen. He worked for a short period at Edison Machine Works in New York before starting on his own. With the help of partners to fund and commercialize his ideas, Tesla set up laboratories and companies in New York to develop a variety of electrical and mechanical devices. His AC induction motor and patents relating to the polyphase system, licensed by Westinghouse Electric in 1888, earned him a considerable amount of money and became the cornerstone of the polyphase system the company eventually marketed. Trying to develop inventions that he could patent and market, Tesla conducted a series of experiments with mechanical oscillators/generators, electrical discharge tubes, and radiography. He also built a remote-controlled boat, one of the first ever shown. Tesla became known as an inventor and demonstrated his achievements to wealthy celebrities and patrons in his laboratory, and distinguished himself by his talent in public speaking. During the 1890s, Tesla followed his ideas for wireless lighting and worldwide wireless electrical power distribution in his high-voltage and high-frequency experiments in New York and Colorado Springs.
