Biography

This is a documentary on one of history’s greatest men, Nikola Tesla, a scientist and inventor. On July 10, 1856, Nikola Tesla was born in Smiljan, Lika, in what would eventually become Yugoslavia. His mother Djuka Mandic was an independent household appliance entrepreneur, while his father Milutin Tesla was a Serbian Orthodox priest.

Tesla attended the University of Prague and the Polytechnic Institute in Graz, Austria. In Budapest in 1881, he started working as an electrical engineer for a telephone company.

Tesla joined the Continental Edison Company in Paris before moving to America, where he created dynamos. In 1883, while living in Strasbourg, he constructed and successfully tested an induction motor prototype on his own. Tesla accepted an opportunity to work for Thomas Edison in New York after failing to persuade anyone in Europe to support this revolutionary gadget.

In 1884, a young Nikola Tesla immigrated to America. Tesla will reside in New York for the remaining 59 years of his productive life. While working in Edison’s lab in New Jersey, Tesla started working on improving line dynamos. His disagreement with Edison about direct current versus alternating electricity started at this point. The Battle of Currents, where Edison battled valiantly but unsuccessfully to defend his investment in direct current machinery and facilities, marked the culmination of this dispute.

Whereas alternating current can be ramped up to extremely high voltage levels and can change direction 50 to 60 times per second, direct current flows constantly in one direction. This reduces power loss over long distances. The alternating current is the master of the future. George Westinghouse purchased the 40 fundamental U.S. patents that Nikola Tesla had developed and held for his polyphase alternating current system of transformers, motors, and generators in order to provide America with Tesla technology. Tesla made the fundamental scientific discovery of the rotating magnetic field in February 1882, which serves as the foundation for almost all alternating current devices today.

Appliances and businesses throughout the world use Tesla’s AC induction motor extensively. At the turn of the century, this motor ignited the industrial revolution. Through the use of his inventions, electricity is now generated, transmitted, and converted to mechanical power. Tesla’s polyphase alternating current system, which today lights the entire world, is his greatest accomplishment.
