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 Tesla he would pay $50,000 for an improved design for DC dynamo. After months of experimentation, Tesla presented a solution and asked money to which Edison said "Tesla you don't understand our American humor'. Tesla quit soon after.
After an unsuccessful attempt to start his own Tesla Electric Light Company and a stint digging ditches for $2 a day, Tesla found backers to support his research into alternating current. Westinghouse hired Tesla, licensed the patents for his AC and gave him his own lab.

In the 1890"s Tesla invented electric oscillators, meters, improved lights and high-voltage transformer known as Tesla coil. He also experimented X-rays, gave a short-range demonstrations of radio communication two years before Guglielmo Marconi and piloted a radio-controlled boat around a pool in Madison Square Garden. Together, Tesla and Westinghouse lit the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago and partnered with General Electric to install AC generators at Niagara Falls, creating the first modern power station. In 1895 Tesla's New York lab burned, destroying year's worth notes and equipment.

Before the turn of the 20th century, Tesla had invented a powerful coil that was capable of generating high voltages and frequencies, leading to new forms of light, such as neon and fluorescent, as well as x-rays. Tesla also discovered that these coils, soon to be called "Tesla Coils", made it possible to send and receive radio signals. It is estimated that Tesla held a total over 300 patents across five continents. However many of these patents were for the same inventions. 

In December 1901, Marconi successfully sent a signal from England to Newfoundland. Tesla grumbled that the Italian was using 17 of his patents, but litigation eventually favored Marconi and commercial damage was done. Thus the Italian inventor was credited as the inventor of radio and become rich.

A patent war ensured, that went on till 1943 and the US Supreme Court finally ruled in Tesla's favour and restored Tesla's patent (US 645576 A). Unfortunately, Tesla was not around to see his patents win the day. Tesla died approximately 9 months prior to the final judgement day.

Tesla lived his last decades in a New York hotel, working on new inventions even as his energy and mental health faded. He spent his final years feeding and he claimed, communicating with the city's pigeons. Tesla died in his room on January 7,1943. The AC system he championed and improved remains the global standard for power transmission.

SOME QUOTE OF NIKOLA TESLA 
1. "Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born".
2."The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all previous centuries of its existence'.
3.'I don't care that they stole my idea... I care that they don't have any of their own".
4."I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work".
