Nikola Tesla, engineer and scientist, greatest of the great
Nikola Tesla is the paradigm of engineer and
scientist, not only because of the immense and significant contributions in
their professional field, the ability to see the future, but for the personal
philosophy that revealed a creative, generous soul, devoid of ambition, which he
sought the benefit of mankind. Someone exemplary in every way, so I said one of
my favorite heroes, alongside Leonardo da Vinci, another creative visionary.
Nikola Tesla (НиколаТесла)
was born in Smiljan, Austria-Hungary, now Croatia, on July 10, 1856, he died in
New York on January 7, 1943. He was an inventor, mechanical engineer,
electrical engineer and physicist with numerous inventions field of
electromagnetism, developed in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth
century. Tesla's patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern
electric power systems for alternating current (AC), including the polyphase
system of electrical distribution and the AC motor, prompting the Second
Industrial Revolution.
Tesla began to study electrical engineering at the
University of Graz, Austria, in 1875. There he studied the uses of alternating
current. In December 1878 he left Graz, broke away from his family and went to
Maribor (Slovenia) where he worked as an assistant engineer for a year.
In the summer of 1880 he attended the Charles
University in Prague; where he received lessons from Ernst Mach.
Tesla spent his time reading many works, memorizing
complete books, and who possessed a photographic memory. In his autobiography
he recounted that sometimes experienced detailed moments of inspiration.
During his childhood he suffered several episodes of a
peculiar disease, which had visions and perceived light beams; these visions
were linked to a word or idea he was about his head; Sometimes he found the
solution to problems that had been raised. Upon hearing the name of an object,
you could visualize very realistic. Synesthesia has similar symptoms. Tesla
would visualize an invention in his brain with extreme precision, with all
dimensions, without drawings or diagrams, before building the object. It is
called visual thinking.
In 1882 he moved to Paris to work as an engineer in
Continental Compaña Edison (Thomas Alva Edison Company), designing improvements
to electric equipment. That year he conceived the induction motor and began
developing various devices that used the rotating magnetic field, for which he
received patents in 1888.
In 1884 he arrived in New York with a letter of
recommendation from Charles Batchelor, a former employer. The letter of
recommendation to Thomas Edison, Batchelor wrote, "I know two great men, you are one of them; the
other is this young man. " Edison hired Tesla to work on his
Edison Machine Works. He started working as an electrical engineer and
progressed quickly, solving company problems. He was responsible for the
redesign of DC generators.
At the Universal Exposition in Chicago in 1893, Tesla
and George Westinghouse introduced the AC system that was used to light
exposure. fluorescent lamps and bulbs Tesla single node is displayed.
In 1894 he demonstrated the wireless communication via
radio waves, built the first radio and then to impose his idea of alternating current, was recognized as one of the greatest electrical
engineers in the United States.
Tesla's fame rivaled that of any other inventor or
scientist in history, but due to his eccentric personality and his statements
about the possible development of scientific and technological innovations,
Tesla was finished relegated and considered a mad scientist. Radio patent was
filed in 1897, but Marconi (which poked Edison patents) filed a plagiarized
copy, which led to a dispute between Marconi and Tesla. Only in 1943, the court
Supreme Court of the United States of America concluded that Tesla was the
inventor. The conspiracy against him, Tesla was ignored and Marconi erroneously
listed as creator of the radio.
Some of his studies could not be deciphered by others,
because of its complexity. Tesla devised the documents in his head, it was
enough to have the image of the object without knowing how it worked. It was
also a visionary, and we can cite the example about the Smartphone. Tesla said:
"When we get to perfection
implement wireless technology, the whole Earth will become a huge brain (...)
We will be able to communicate with each other instantly, regardless of
distance. Not only that: through television and telephony we will be able to
see us and hear each other as perfectly as if it were face to face, although
involving a distance of thousands of kilometers. And the instruments through
which we can do this will be amazingly simple compared with our present
telephone. A man can carry one in his vest pocket "
He had no connection with any woman, but that did not
stop to recognize their value and potential at the time that the woman was
relegated. The name "Queen Bees" (Queen bees) and in 1926 said:
"This struggle of the human female for gender equality will end
with a new sexual order, with the female as superior. It will not be through
physical imitation of men and women get equal then the superiority first, but
with the awakening of intelligence of women "
Tesla wrote books and articles for magazines and
newspapers. Among his books are My Inventions: The Autobiography of Nikola
Tesla, The Fantastic Inventions of Nikola Tesla and The Tesla Papers.
Tesla many jobs are available in the network,
including the article "The Problem of Increasing Human Energy,"
published in The Century Magazine in 1900, and the article "Experiments
With Alternate Currents Of High Potential And High Frequency".
Inventions and discoveries of Tesla
Some of them were attributed to others, pettiness,
conspiracy and aimed at humiliating his great work, being iconoclastic and not
get into the game of corporate interests.
- Alternating current. Tesla Edison hated by the
superiority of these on the direct current.
- Radio (wrongfully and maliciously attributed to
Marconi).
- Wireless transfer of electrical energy by
electromagnetic waves. The project Wardenclyffe tower would allow the creation
of a global system of communications, but failed for lack of funding.
- No filament light bulb or fluorescent lamp.
- Electrotherapy or diagnostic devices (X-ray
generator of a single electrode).
- Bladeless turbine, operated by fluid friction.
- Tesla Coil: delivering output a high voltage power
and high frequency.
Tesla, visionary and creator of science and technology
also contributed to the development of robotics, remote control, radar,
aircraft lift, computer science, ballistics, nuclear physics and theoretical
physics.
Awards
The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Marconi for
inventing the radio in 1909, but did not deserve it, but the press reported
that Edison and Tesla would share the Nobel Prize in 1915. Edison, who had
already played him dirty before, he tried to will minimize the achievements of
Tesla and refused to share the prize. By envy and meanness of Edison, none won
despite his great contributions to science.
Later, Tesla was just awarded the Edison Medal, the
highest distinction of IEEE.
Other notables, but mediocre against the immense
intelligence and moral values Tesla inventors took
advantage of their jobs to earn honors and undeserved fame. We can say that
their discoveries, inventions, contributions and predictions enabled the
development of electrical civilization in which we still live.
It incomprehensible the treatment Tesla, despite the
enormous importance of their work, comparable to that of its rivals Thomas A.
Edison and Guglielmo Marconi, both fans flip through their patents. Tesla, the
epitome of romantic genius, obsessed with his work and away from worldly
affairs, had bad luck in business and lost the historical merit of their
contributions in favor of other more greedy and skillful traders inventors.
Tesla, the brilliant inventor, a man of his time, the
flamboyant seductive, the visionary, the superhero. Beyond the tangible
importance of his legacy, Tesla is a deeply inspiring figure in many respects. Nikola Tesla, as a
man who touched the sky has a place in history. Its vision sought to change the
world, and the world changed the image and likeness of his vision.

Tesla (Edison, envious of his success and intelligence, was one of the
promoters, Marconi received an award unearned)
