Nikola Tesla: Leader of Lightning

Tesla Coil

Invented in 1891, the Tesla Coil makes high voltage electricity. The machine is composed of a few resonant electric circuits, and is still used today. It works by turning an imput voltage into an extremely high  frequency voltage. A Tesla coil consists of two, or sometimes three, coupled resonant electrical circuits. A Tesla coil is difficult to define, as Nikola Tesla experimented with a large variety of coils and configurations. Tesla used these coils to conduct innovative experiments in electrical lightning, fluorescencee, x-rays, high frequency alternating current phenomena, electrotherapy, and wireless power for electric power transmission.


Radio

Invented in 1891, this is Tesla's most disputed invention, for Jagadish Bose, Thomas Edison, Heinrich Hertz, and David Hughes were also credited with its creation. The original patent was Marconi's, but the Supreme Court later rules Teslas as having superiority over Marconi's patent.


Remote Control

Invented in 1898, Tesla originally called this patent Method of an Apparatus for Controlling Mechanism of Moving Vehicle or Vehicles and wasn't what we know as the remote controll today. Tesla's remote patent was a remote controll for a small boat.


AC Motor

Invented in 1882, the AC induction motor used two main magnets and an initial power source to power stuff.


Particle Beam

Continued being invented until his death, the particle beam uses ultra high energy electrons or atoms to create a beam that corrupts something's molecular structure.
