Nicola Tesla Born in 1856 in Smiljan, Croatia, which was part of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. His father was an Eastern Orthodox priest, his mother had a talent for making home craft tools and mechanical appliances and the ability to memorize Serbian epic poems. Tesla was the fourth of five children. He had three sisters and one older brother.
He become interested in demonstrations of electricity in the high school by his physics professor. Tesla was able to perform integral calculus in his head, he had a photographic memory, this is why he was able to memorize books, experiments, images, visions and facts that helped him in his work.
In 1881, Tesla moved to Budapest, Hungary, to work under Tivadar Puskás at a telegraph company, the Budapest Telephone Exchange. and he was allocated the chief electrician position. During his employment, Tesla made many improvements to the Central Station equipment and claimed to have perfected a telephone repeater or amplifier, which was never patented nor publicly described.
In 1882, Tivadar Puskás got Tesla another job in Paris with the Continental Edison Company. There he gained a great deal of practical experience in electrical engineering. Management took notice of his advanced knowledge in engineering and physics and soon had him designing and building improved versions of generating dynamos and motors
In 1884, Edison manager Charles Batchelor, was brought back to the US to manage the Edison Machine Works, a manufacturing division situated in New York City, and asked that Tesla be brought to the US as well. Tesla emigrated to the United States.
After 6 months he was leaving the Edison company. Tesla was working on patenting an arc lighting system, possibly the same one he had developed at Edison.
1885, he met with patent attorney Lemuel W. Serrell, the same attorney used by Edison, to obtain help with submitting the patents. Serrell introduced Tesla to two businessmen, Robert Lane and Benjamin Vail, who agreed to finance an arc lighting manufacturing and utility company in Tesla's name, the Tesla Electric Light & Manufacturing. The investors showed little interest in Tesla's ideas for new types of alternating current motors and electrical transmission equipment. They formed a new utility company, abandoning Tesla's company and leaving the inventor penniless
In late 1886, Tesla met Alfred S. Brown, a Western Union superintendent, and New York attorney Charles F. Peck. Based on Tesla's new idea's for electrical equipment, including a thermo-magnetic motor idea, they agreed to back the inventor financially and handle his patents. Together they formed the Tesla Electric Company in April 1887, with an agreement that profits from generated patents would go 1/3 to Tesla, 1/3 to Peck and Brown, and 1/3 to fund development. They set up a laboratory for Tesla at 89 Liberty Street in Manhattan, where he worked on improving and developing new types of electric motors, generators, and other devices.
In 1887, Tesla developed an induction motor that ran on alternating current, a power system format that was rapidly expanding in Europe and the United States because of its advantages in long-distance, high-voltage transmission. The motor used polyphase current, which generated a rotating magnetic field to turn the motor. This innovative electric motor, patented in May 1888, was a simple self-starting design that did not need a commutator, thus avoiding sparking and the high maintenance of constantly servicing and replacing mechanical brushes. The money Tesla made from licensing his AC patents made him independently wealthy and gave him the time and funds to pursue his own interest.
Tesla came up with his Tesla coil with an air gap instead of insulating material between the primary and secondary windings and an iron core that could be moved to different positions in or out of the coil in 1889.
In the 1890s Tesla invented electric oscillators, meters, improved lights and the high-voltage transformer known as the Tesla coil. He also experimented with X-rays, gave 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 1891 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 years’ worth of notes and equipment. Tesla relocated to Colorado Springs for two years, returning to New York in 1900. He secured backing from financier J.P. Morgan and began building a global communications network centered on a giant tower at Wardenclyffe, on Long Island.
In Century Illustrated Magazine in June 1900, Tesla discusses the “energy situation” like never before. After discussing every known method of gathering energy from the Natural World, Tesla departs into the unknown. His first discussion is about a machine that can gather heat from the ambient air. He calls it a “Self-acting Engine” since it could run indefinitely from the solar energy stored in the air. He called it “the ideal way of obtaining motive power”.
Tesla worked for years trying to solve all of the technical issues presented by the idea. His work with liquified air, his discovery of super-conductivity at ultra-low temperatures, his bladeless turbine and mechanical oscillator were all spin-offs from his work on the ambient air engine. He was convinced the system could work and that it was absolutely the best way to harness solar energy.

But Nikola Tesla’s most famous attempt to provide everyone in the world with free energy was his World Power System, a method of broadcasting electrical energy without wires, through the ground. His Wardenclyffe Tower, pictured above, was never finished, but his dream of providing energy to all points on the globe is still alive today.
Smartphones were actually invented by Tesla, at least the idea of smartphones where Tesla described in 1901. to J.P. Morgan his vision of smart communication that we have today.
He firmly believed in alien species and that we are not alone in universe. Also he started to work on experiments with a flying machine in 1910, more correctly a anti-gravity flying machine. The Pleiadians inspired the NYMZA secret society (Sonora Aero Club) to build airships. Tesla had a connection with NYMZA and he attempted to build a spaceship to travel to Mars. His attempt failed and after that JP Morgan stopped financing Tesla.
Tesla loved nature and was a environmentalist. He cared about Earths resources being depleted by humans so much this is one of the reasons he tried to make our civilization fueled by electricity.
He was monitored by American intelligence agencies due to his experiments of controversial inventions called “the death beam” that was able to bring down numerous planes from huge distances.
Albert Einstein worked with Nikola Tesla before his death. They tried to create invisibility cloak for the USS Eldrige, American warship. According to witnesses, the Philadelphia Experiment went terribly wrong. The ship didn’t just disappear from radar, according to reports the USS Eldridge disappeared completely and reappeared with some of the crew “embedded” into the metal of the ship.
Marconi was a student of Tesla and after he saw how the Cabal mistreated Tesla, he and a few other people (including the famous alchemist Fulcanelli) relocated to South America where they built a secret underground city in the Andes in 1937: Tesla, Marconi and Fulcanelli are all members of the Brotherhood of the Star.
Tesla lived his last decades in a New York hotel, working on new inventions even as his energy and mental health faded. His obsession with the number three and fastidious washing were dismissed as the eccentricities of genius. He spent his final years feeding—and communicating with the city’s pigeons.
Tesla died in his room on January 7, 1943. Later that year the U.S. Supreme Court voided four of Marconi’s key patents, belatedly acknowledging Tesla’s innovations in radio. The AC system he championed and improved remains the global standard for power transmission.
Nikola Tesla never received a Nobel Prize for modernizing whole of human kind.
He invented more beyond electricity, in facts over 700 inventions like wireless connection & communication, turbine engines, helicopters, neon lights, torpedoes, X-rays etc.
Many of his originally belongings are today in Tesla Museum in Belgrade, Serbia that was opened in 1950’s. However some of his work and papers are still classified in the U.S. government.
