Today’s Day, Nikola Tesla…
January 7th, is day for Christmas in opd calender by Orthodox neloevers, on this day Nikola Tesla (7 January 1943) has died.
Tesla, Serbian-American inventor, electrical, engineer, mechanicalengineer, physicist, and futurist who is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.
Tesla gained experience in telephonyand electrical engineering before emigrating to the United States in 1884 to work for Thomas Edison in New York City. He soon struck out on his own with financial backers, setting up laboratories and companies to develop a range of electrical devices
His patented A Cinduction motor and transformer were licensed by George Westinghouse, who also hired Tesla for a short time as a consultant. His work in the formative years of electric-power development was involved in a corporate alternating current/direct current “War of Currents” as well as various patent battles. He became a naturalized US citizen in 1891.
Tesla went on to pursue his ideas of wireless lighting and electricity distribution in his high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments in New York and Colorado Springs and made early (1893) pronouncements on the possibility of wireless communicationwith his devices. He tried to put these ideas to practical use in an ill-fated attempt at intercontinental wireless transmission, his unfinished Wardenclyffe Tower project. In his lab, he also conducted a range of experiments with mechanical oscillators/generators, electrical discharge tubes, and early X-ray imaging. He also built a wireless controlled boat, one of the first ever exhibited.
He lived most of his life in a series of New York hotels through his retirement. Tesla, a lifelong bachelor, never married, his opinion state that never be worthy enough for a woman, considering women superior in every way.
His work fell into relative obscurity after his death, but in 1960, the General Conference on Weights and Measures named the SI unit of magnetic flux density the tesla in his honor. There has been a resurgence in popular interest in Tesla since the 1990s.
On 7 January 1943, at the age of 86, Tesla died alone in room 3327 of the New Yorker Hotel. His cause of death was blood clot inside the blood vessel ‘coronary thrombosis’, his body was later found by maid Alice Monaghan after she had entered Tesla’s room, ignoring the “do not disturb” sign that Tesla had placed on his door two days earlier.
