Teslas lab in Colorado springs
Some of the things he did:
On 6 June 1884, Tesla first arrived in the United States, in New York City with not alot more than a letter of recommendation from Charles Batchelor, a former employer. The letter of recommendation was ment for Thomas Edison, it said,
"I know two great men and you are one of them; the other is this young man"
Tesla started working for Edison and he quickly progressed to solving some of the company's most difficult problems. But he resigned when he was declined a paycheck from Edison.
He formed the basis for alternating current.
in 1887, Tesla starts inventing what we call X-ray today.
in 1895, After a fire wich destroyd all his equipment, models and inventions Tesla invented and patented the tesla generator. A maskin wich was capable of transmitting wireless information. (More or less the first version of the radio)
It has been said that he ones created a smaller earthquake from his apartment.
Later he wanted to create a "world system". Also a wireless system, but this one capable of transmitting wireless energi. This would have ment that we could send electricity through the air and without the use of wires and for example light a lightbuld without the slightest tought. He claimed to have come very close too, but his investor didnt want to fund the project anymore and it got laid down.
After a while a rumor spread that Telsa was creating a sort of "death ray" and was trying to sell it back to Austria were he came from. (He said it was ment for ending war)
So this man basically gave man a push that changed the world for all time. Without him we wouldnt have had illumination in our homes, Radio or TV. And if he was given a chance to extend his ideas furthur our society would have been much more advanced.
(or if the rumors were right and he acctually were trying to build a death ray, we might not even be alive by now)
Nevertheless he is and will continue to be my rolemodel.
