NIKOLA TESLA
NIKOLA TESLA
NIKOLA TESLA , nowadays you heard this name but i remember when i'm in 10th standard, and i said to one of my friend that "Nikola Tesla is one of the greatest inventor of all time" then he asked me with his most creepy face like "Who is Nikola Tesla ?" and "I never heard his name before" and "Why he is the greatest of all time ?" ... So this post is for Nikola Tesla.
ABOUT NIKOLA TESLA
Nikola Tesla was a visionary physicist and inventor of the twentieth century. Born in an Orthodox Christian household in 1856 in Serbia, Tesla studied inAustria and Prague and later migrated to the USA where he stayed till his death in 1943. He is often referred to as the “ultimate mad scientist” and perhaps for good reason. With hundreds of patents and countless unpatented inventions, Nikola Tesla’s contributions to modern science are unparalleled to date. His most widely accredited contribution is the alternating current model of electricity distribution. Before this, electricity distribution was based on Thomas Edison’s direct current model which was more costly and covered considerably shorter distances. Tesla and Edison were professional arch rivals, even though Tesla initially worked for Edison at the “Continental Edison Company” in France. Tesla’s model made the process much more efficient and affordable, enabled widespread electricity distribution over thousands of miles with minimal loss, and is still the globally used standard today.
One astounding fact about Tesla was that his interests were not just limited to his profession. He also enjoyed fine dining, music and poetry and was fluent in eight languages including Hungarian, Italian and Latin. He was well spoken and polite when he was in company, although he was mostly a recluse with meticulously precise habits and lifestyle. Nikola Tesla was never married and is rumored to have been celibate his whole life. He was prone to nervous breakdowns and probably suffered from OCD. He slept very little and worked long hours, sometimes going days without sleep. He was a humanitarian and a spiritual man, and admired Buddhist and Christian teachings while being severely opposed to religious fanaticism. He cared for the environment and professed his concern at the rapid depletion of available resources on the planet. This genius, however, was not given the fame and recognition he deserved during his lifetime and in spite of the hundreds of patents under his name, Tesla died practically penniless at the age of 86. Since then he has gained monumental fame and recognition, including several societies, plaques, statues and even the name of a small planet!

NIKOLA TESLA PATENTS
Nikola Tesla was an inventor who obtained around 300 patentsworldwide for his inventions. Some of Tesla's patents are not accounted for, and various sources have discovered some that have lain hidden in patent archives. There are a minimum of 278 patents issued to Tesla in 26 countries that have been accounted for. Many of Tesla's patents were in the United States, Britain, and Canada, but many other patents were approved in countries around the globe. Many inventions developed by Tesla were not put into patent protection.

"Though we may never be able to comprehend human life, we know certainly that it is a movement, of whatever nature it be. The existence of movement unavoidably implies a body which is being moved and a force which is moving it. Hence, wherever there is life, there is a mass moved by a force. All mass possesses inertia; all force tends to persist." -Nikola Tesla
