Nikola Tesla: engineer and visionary

Hello Friends of stemit, this post is made with the purpose of making known the life of the engineer, physicist, mathematician, electrister and inventor Nikola Tesla, is considered by many scholars as a genius inventor in the shadow of other inventors.

Nikola Tesla was a physicist, mathematician, electrical engineer and North American inventor of Serbian origin who was born in Croatia in 1856 and died in New York in 1943. He is a fundamental figure in the history of progress.

Nikola Tesla is considered by many scholars as a genius inventor in the shadow of other inventors. This is so since their merits were attributed to other more well-known scientists such as Edison and Marconi.

For example Marconi, who used seventeen patents of Nikola for his first retransmission in 1901, attributing the merit without mentioning Tesla. The International Court in 1943 corrected this theft, but even today popular culture recognizes Marconi as the inventor of radio.

With time Nikola Tesla is recovering the place that really deserves in history. But surely we have asked ourselves, why so much interest in wanting to eliminate Tesla? There are two main reasons:

Nikola Tesla never wanted to send articles of information to the academic community, so that the enmity with them was won.
The objective of Tesla was to be able to obtain energy for free for everyone and that could be sent wirelessly. Therefore, this idea clashed directly with the aspirations of economic power.
For many it is the greatest inventor of the last century, because thanks to Tesla, electricity reaches millions of homes today.

Nikola Tesla is known mainly for his numerous inventions in the field of electromagnetism, which he developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Tesla is also considered the father of radio and alternating current.

The theoretical work of Tesla together with its patents would create what are the foundations of modern systems of electrical power by alternating current (AC). Among them the polyphase system of electrical distribution and the AC motor, which contributed significantly to the birth of the Second Industrial Revolution.

The unit of induction of the magnetic field of the International System of Units takes the name of tesla (T) in its honor.

Tesla put all his strength and effort into developing his ideas, but he was very careful not to register them and therefore to defend his intellectual property.

The so-called war of the currents, was one of the most famous cases of his confrontation with Thomas Edison, with which he began work in 1884. Edison based his empirical methods of work through trial and error, while Tesla was much more scientific and thoughtful.

The rivalry that existed between both gave rise to what is popularly known as the war of the currents, a dispute between the two to demonstrate the discovery and patent of electricity. Edison defended the DC system while Tesla defended the AC system.

In spite of a smear campaign by Edison against Tesla, alternating current was imposed and is currently used in all households.

In short, Tesla did not get the recognition that Edison did, much more skilled in the commercial and business field.
