Nikola Tesla Accomplishments

When Tesla was younger he was always recognized as extremely smart person. He was born with an extraordinary memory and was able to speak 8 languages. After college,” At the age of 28 Tesla decided to leave Europe for America”(“Nikola Tesla” bio.com). When he got there he only had 4 pennies. When he was looking for work Edison hired him, “and the two men were soon working tirelessly alongside each other”(“Nikola Tesla” bio.com). Eventually the two men started to split apart as they had different views on AC currents and DC

Nikola enrolled into the Austrian Polytechnic School with a fellowship from the Military Frontier Authority to pay for school. When he got back for his second year, he found out that the Military Frontier was being abolished. So he had to find other ways to pay for school. Even though Tesla went

Nikola Tesla was born in Smiljan, Croatia on July 9, 1856. He attended the Polytechnic School at Graz for four years and spent a year at the University of Prague (1879-1880). His first employment was in a government telegraph engineering office in Budapest, where he made his first invention, a telephone repeater, and conceived the idea of a rotating magnetic field. He subsequently worked in Paris and Strasbourg. HISTORICAL BACKROUND

Tesla was born in Smiljan, Yugoslavia (modern-day Croatia) on July 10, 1856. He went to primary school, where he learned subjects such as arithmetic, religion, and German. From a very early age, Tesla was able to memorize entire books and solve complex mathematical equations. He completed four years of study in only three years and graduated from secondary school (the European equivalent of high school) in 1873. Just after graduation, Tesla

As he aged he continued to be actively involved in advanced research ideas, but none led to any commercial success. Some scientists began looking upon him as something of an eccentric. He had to file bankruptcy and became penniless. He was fortunate that he was thought so highly of by the Westinghouse Corporation that they payed for him to live in a nice hotel for the last few years of his life. (Carlson 376) While living in that hotel Tesla became depressed and reclusive. He would feed pigeons at nearby Bryant Park, spending more time with them than people. During this time, one of Tesla’s friends decided to throw him a birthday party and asked prominent scientists and engineers to send letters of recognition of his achievements. (Carlson

After arriving in New York, Tesla immediately went to Edison’s workshop to get a job. Edison agreed but only after being in the job a month Edison rejected to pay Tesla for a job and they became arch enemy’s and did everything in their power to discredit each other.

Tesla accepted a job under Tivadar Puskás in a Budapest telegraph company in 1880. He was later promoted to chief electrician and later engineer for the company. He later moved to Paris to work for the Continental Edison Company as

Nikola Tesla was born around July 9-10 in the year 1856. He was raised from humble Serbian parents whom wanted him to become either a priest or a soldier. At the age of 21 in 1877, Tesla had made the decision to immigrate to the United States and follow his dream of attempting to harvest the power of the Niagara Falls. Although his parents did not approve of his actions he took the chance to prove his professors and the others who had humiliated him wrong.

Nikola Tesla was born to Djuka Mandic and Milutin Tesla on July 9th or 10th in 1856 in Smiljan, Croatia (part of the Austrian Empire at the time). Tesla’s father was an Orthodox priest and a writer. As Tesla grew up, his father tried to convince him to follow in his footsteps and join the priesthood. Tesla, however, was uninterested in being like his father and instead found a love in science. This love most likely came from his mother. Though she was illiterate and uneducated, she often made small inventions to help her around the household. In the 1870s, Tesla studied at

Primarily, Tesla was quite an intellectual being. Inez Whitaker Hunt wrote that “…He had a way of intuitively sensing hidden scientific secrets and employing his inventive talent to prove his hypothesis.” (#5, Hunt, unknown) Nikola Tesla acquired his intellectual background from the Technical University of Graz and the University of

Tesla was born on the date of July 10, 1856, in Smiljian, Croatia. Tesla took an interest in electrical inventing from his mother, Djuka Mandic, and she made small household appliances in the free time she had while her son grew up. Teslas father, Milutin Tesla, was a writer and a priest and he wanted Tesla to become a priest when he grew up, But Teslas interests were firmly in the art of science. He studyied for four years at the Realschule, Karlstadt; the Polytechnic Institute in Graz, Austria; and he also studied at the University of Prague in the 1870s. After his studyies in Realschule, Tesla found a new home in Budapest, where he found work at the Central Telephone Exchange. While Tesla was in Budapest,

Nikola Tesla is well known for his rivalry with Thomas Edison, but little do many know is he is a pioneer to research in electricity and robotics. Tesla was born in Serbia, and from there the world learned about his quirks and crazy inventions.

Edison told Tesla that he would pay him a lump sum of cash for an improved design for his DC dynamos. After a couple of months, Tesla created a new design and asked Edison to give him money, but Edison declined and claimed that he never said he would give Nikola money. Immediately afterwards, Nikola Tesla quit and had an unsuccessful attempt at starting his own electric company. However, Tesla found supporters that would help him research into alternating current. During the years of 1887 and 1888, he was given more than thirty patents for his invention and was invited to address the American Institute of Electrical Engineers on his work.

From this video I learned that back then it was a brutal world of people just craving to be the center of attention like Thomas Edison. Thomas Edison was careless of other people around him and only caring about himself, his inventions, and money. I also learned that just because someone wants you to be a certain someone and do something they want you to do just because they say so or teach you to do something, doesn’t mean you should listen to them or do exactly what they are saying and wanting you to do. Just like Morgan not listening to his father even though he was grown up learning how to follow his father’s footsteps and to not take risks. Morgan just passed though keeping some of his father’s teachings but still taking risks that made him even more powerful and wealthier. The last thing I learned about this video was that if you want to be the best you sometimes have to take things in your own hands and find things out yourself. Tesla had to quit his job to find out and figure out how to put his idea together and turn it into an idea to a million dollar brilliant invention.

Nikola Tesla was born in Smiljan, Croatia at midnight between July 9th and 10th 1856. He was intelligent since his early childhood. He soon became interested in engineering and he studied it at the Technical University in Graz, Austria, from 1877 to 1880. Right after that he went to the University of Prague in 1880, but his father had died and he withdrew his studies from the University soon after. Tesla always dreamed of becoming an electrical engineer and to invent a new type of power transmission instead of Direct Current (DC). He mourned for his father for about a year, but he had to return to his work. In 1881 he went to Budapest to work as an engineer for a telephone company, but this isn't what he wanted to in life.
