THE FORGOTTEN SCIENTIST

NIKOLA TESLA Nikola Tesla was the famous scientist of 19th century. Nikola Tesla was born on 10th July 1856 in Smiljan, Austria (modern-day Croatia Southeast Europe). His father Milutin was a priest of the Serbian Orthodox Church. From early age, he could memorize entire books and store logarithms table in his brain. At the age of 19, he was studying electrical engineering at Polytechnic Institute at Gray in Austria. Tesla's general IQ was in a range from 160 to 200. Average Nikola Tesla IQ was 180. He made dozens of breakthrough in the production, transmission and application of electric power. He invented the first alternating current (AC) motor and developed AC generation and transmission technology. Though he was famous and respected, he was never able to translate his copious inventions into long-term financial success. In 1884, Tesla arrived in New York and was hired as an engineer at Thomas Alva Edison's Manhattan headquarters. After seeing his ingenuity, Edison told T...

AMAZING ALBATROSS

AMAZING ALBATROSS Mystery of how the wandering Albatross travels 10,000 miles in a single journey without flapping its wings is solved. The mighty Albatross can use its huge 3.5 meter long wings to circumnavigate the globe in just 46 days. But its ability to travel 10,000 miles in single journey, without expending almost any energy, has long confounded scientists. The wandering Albatross has the record for the bird with the largest wingspan at 3.5 meters. Distances is hard to measure, but one banded bird was recorded travelling 6000 km in twelve days. Albatross are very long living bird with an average age of between 40 and 50 years. Now a team of researchers believe they have worked out how these majestic creatures are able to stay aloft in skies without flapping their enormous wings. The wandering Albatross flies using a technique known as 'dynamic soaring.' The technique involves flying from the relatively windless layer close to the ocean waves into a region of much fas...
