  3. Tesla's Inspiration

  4. Wardenclyffe Tower (1901–1917) also known as the Tesla Tower, was an early wirelesstransmission tower designed by Nikola Teslain Shoreham, New York and intended for commercial trans-Atlantic wireless telephony, broadcasting, and proof-of-concept demonstrations of wireless power transmission It was never fully operational,and the tower was demolished in 1917.

  5. He described how his World Wide Energy System, based on high-frequency electrical energy, would in no way pollute the earth.  A small receiving device in one's home would provide all the power needed and at a fraction of present-day costs. Tesla’s vision of a free, non-polluting, limitless power source continues. 

  6. “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is to always just try one more time” Inspirations Inventions Motivations

  7. Inspiration At the age of 11, Edison enjoyed reading the famous scientist Isaac Newton’s famous book called the Principia. This book was confusing and rambling to all but the highest scientific adult minds, but young Thomas understood it and marveled at Newton’s genius. Reading the Principia inspired young Thomas Edison to be like Newton, a many who delighted in proving things for himself through his own experiments.

  8. Edison's Invention

  9. Motivation Often called an "invention factory," the Menlo Park laboratory was an audacious undertaking. Edison's goal was to create at least one small invention every week and a large, society-changing one every six months. Remarkably, he met that goal with room to spare. Supremely confident and unfailingly optimistic, Thomas Edison was consumed by a need to find solutions. And not just any solutions. They had to be practical, level-headed solutions that had some likelihood of being accepted by consumers. If not, Edison wasn't interested. 

  10. “The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors who looked enviously on the birds soaring freely” Inspirations Inventions Motivations

  11. Inspiration In 1878 their fatherbrought home a toy "helicopter" for his two younger sons. The device was based on an invention of French aeronautical pioneer Alphonse Pénaud. Made of paper, bamboo and cork with a rubber band to twirl its rotor, it was about a foot long. Wilbur and Orville played with it until it broke, and then built their own.In later years, they pointed to their experience with the toy as the initial spark of their interest in flying.

  12. Wright Brothers' Invention

  13. Motivation The Wrights supportive homelife provided Wilbur and Orville with a strong belief in themselves. This self-confidence enabled them to reject the theories of well-known and more experienced aeronautical experimenter when the brothers felt their own ideas were correct. Often it was the emotional anchor provided by their strong family ties that helped Wilbur and Orville persevere when they encountered difficulties in their research.
