=**Nikola Tesla** = ====“Science is but a perversion of itself unless it has as its ultimate goal the betterment of humanity.” ====

Nikola Tesla was born on July 9/10, in 1856. His family lived inSmiljan, Croatia. Tesla was supposedly born at the stroke of midnight. ======

Born in Smiljan, Croatia but in 1884 he sailed to New York. And spent the rest of his life there. He worked with Thomas Eddison ,but the 2 in﻿ventors seperated. In 1885, George Westinghouse, head of the Westinghouse Electric Company in Pittsburgh, bought the patent rights to Tesla's polyphase. That help his life. ======

﻿Nikola Tesla had few hobbies he was a man dedicated to science. he did in collage gamble and play billiards. He said "I know I am completely worn out, and yet I cannot stop my work. These experiments of mine are so important, so beautiful, so fascinating, that I can hardly tear myself away from them to eat, and when I try to sleep I think about them constantly. I expect I shall go on until I break down altogether." ======

**Death :(**
Nikola Tesla died on January 7th, 1943 in Hotel New Yorker, in Manhattan, in room 3327 on the 33rd floor of the hotel. He was murdered (shot) by the Edison/Morgan Cabal and his research both destroyed and buried from public knowledge by them and their stooges. J.P. Morgap and Thomas Eddison ruined his life and he died a lonely penniless man. :( Immediately after Tesla’s death, Tesla scientific papers vanished from his hotel room in Hotel New Yorker. Tesla papers were never found. Tesla papers contained scientific data and information about “Death Rays”, which could be used for military purposes. J.P. Morgap and Thomas Eddison ruined his life and he died a lonely penniless man. :(

Invention:
Nikola Telsa invented the radio 1896. It took him about 3 years to create it. He first interested in the radio because of an inventor named Guglielmo Marconi. Marconi go a noble prize in 1901 for establishing wireless communication between Britian and Newfoundland, Canada. Most of Marconi's work was not his own, and in 1943 the Sumpreme Court said Marconi's was invalid and recognizing Telsa's work better.

John Scott Medal (1934)
**Some interesting Facts about him:** Many United States Congressmen gave speeches in the House of Representatives on July 10, 1990 celebrating the 134th anniversary of scientist-inventor Nikola Tesla. Senator Levine from Michigan spoke in the US Senate on the same occasion. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The street sign “Nikola Tesla Corner” was recently placed on the corner of the 40th Street and 6th Avenue in Manhattan. There is a large photo of Tesla in the Statue of Liberty Museum. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Books were written about Tesla : Prodigal Genius: The Life of Nikola Tesla by John J. O’Neill and Margaret Cheney’s book Tesla: Man out of Time has contributed significantly to his fame. A documentary film Nikola Tesla, The Genius Who Lit the World, produced by the Tesla Memorial Society and the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade, The Secret of Nikola Tesla (Orson Welles), BBC Film Masters of the Ionosphere <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">In New York and many other cities in the U.S. proclaimed July 10, Tesla's Birthday-Nikola Tesla Day.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">He has about 700 patents with some of them still being used today, they still use the "Tesla Coil" in modern radios today. He invented AC power, so the wall socket is his. He invented radio transmission, so radio and TV are his. He proposed charged particle weapons, so Star Wars-type weapons, and the incandescent light bulb. ====== <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Here is a video on the "Tesla Coil" media type="youtube" key="ZeqpbZWUsPU?fs=1" height="353" width="425"

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Other Inventions and Discoveries:
<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Nikola Telsa invented may things besides the radio. Before he left to go to America he designed dynamos. In 1883 he privately built a prototype of the induction motor. Tesla developed the poloyphase alternating the current system of generators, motors, and transformers. His new system held 40 U.S. patents. In February of 1882 he discovered the rotating magnetic field, a fundamental principle in physics, and he also discovered the basis of nearly all of the devices that use alternating current. In 1891 he invented the Tesla coils. He also invented the fluorescent light, the laser beam, wireless communications, wireless transmission of eletrical energy, the remote control, robotics, and modern electrical tranmission systems.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Before Tesla would put his idea .on sketch paper, he would make improvements and change it in his mind. He would also operate it to. Then he would write down his idea. Every time he did this his inventions would work, it never failed him. Telsa would let himself have a couple of close friends. One of his friends was Mark Twain. In school he learned many languages quickly, he learned French, English, Getman, and Italian. He also did very good in math. When ever he would eat he would caculate the volume of the bowls and cups. He would also count things compulsively, he had phobias and fetishes, and he had visual sensations which were bright and geometric and they would sometimes blot out his vision. ======

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Tesla wanted to be an engineer, but was "constantly oppressed" by his father's insistence to go into the priesthood. When he was seventeen, Tesla got sick with cholera and while he was sick he got his father to promise him that if he got better he would be allowed to attend the Austrian Polytechnic School in Graz to study engineering. When he got to go to the Austrian Polytechnic School he only got to go for a year and a half because he was low in funds. In 1895 Tesla was ready to transmit a signal 50 miles to West Point, New York. But during that year a building fire destroyed his lab and his work. Because of the fire he didn't get to put his work out until 1897, but Guglielmo Marconi got his own work out in 1896. ======
