Biogrophy of Nikola Tesla

• Nikola Tesla was a Serbian – American emgineer and inventor who discovered
and patented the rotating magnetic field, the basis of most alternating-current
machinery. He also developed the three-phase system of electric power
transmission. He was borned 10 July in 1856 in the Austrian Empire, Tesla first
studied engineering and physics in the 1870s without receiving a degree. Tesla
was from a family of Serbian origin. His father was an Orthodox priest and his
mother was unschooled but highly intelligent. As he matured, he acquired
remarkable imagination and creativity. Nikola Tesla died in 7 January in 1943.

Tesla was the fourth of five children. He had three sisters, Milka, Angelina, and
Marica, and an elder brother named Dane, who was killed in a horse-riding
accident when Tesla was six or seven. Tesla studied at the Realschule, Karlstadt
in 1873, Polytechnic Institute in Graz, Austria and the University of Prague. He
began his career as an electrical engineer with a telephone company in
Budapest in 1881. Before going to America, Tesla joined Continental Edison
Company in Paris where he designed dynamos. Being in Strassbourg in 1883,
he privately built a prototype of the induction motor and ran it successfully.
Unable to interest anyone in Europe in promoting this radical device, Tesla
accepted an offer to work for Thomas Edison in New York. His childhood dream
was to come to America to harness the power of Niagara Falls.
