Inventor Research: Nikola Tesla

1. Myles Coakley 1/3/13 Inventor Research: Nikola Tesla

2. Birth and Death • Nikola Tesla was born in 1856in smiljan Lika Croatia. He died in new York city on January 7, 1943. his life was ended by a heart failure.

3. His early life • He was one of five kids; he had one brother and three sisters. He went to school in Karlovac, then he studied electrical engineering in Austria. He was christened by the Serbian orthodox priest. He later became the chief electrician to the company.

4. What Tesla invented • Nikola Tesla invented the Tesla coil and the transformer to help provide power current to cites. But his most famous invention was the developed the death ray. His inventions was presented to European countries as a border defense but not country ever bothered to buy his design or take it into consideration to use it.

5. From There • Telsa’s, Telsa coil was used fro generators and electro-magnetic pulse weaponry. His transformer designs were used to help disperse the overwhelming voltage from the electrical currents. His Tesla Death Ray design was going to sell his design to the European military and the American military but they never bothered to buy it. In the year 1937 he secretly got a patent made for the death ray.

6. What it could do • The death ray was able to destroy over 10,000 targets at a distance of 200 miles away. This death ray tower could be positioned at the border to in some way stop invasions of countries. It would have been the first time in history that the use of energy based weapon be used to destroy troops and aircraft on sight. The death would toss energy that was almost lightening like and destroy the targets.

7. Its Important • His invention was important because if it was ever made to be what he planned it to be then he would have been the first known engineer to have ever made energy weapons before his time. Where the use of bullets would have been changed so we use Tesla weapons to destroy a target. It would have been the device used to stop infantry and aircraft in there tracks. But his idea wasn’t taken into consideration by militaries of Europe.

8. Has it been improved • His Telsa coil hasn’t really been improved lately it is still the same as it was when he first made the coil and the transformer soon was modified to handle more power thanks to nuclear power. But his Death ray design was not taken to anyone consideration so it was never bought and it never improved.

9. Other inventions Made • Nikola Tesla began working began developing extraterrestrial radio transmitter. His idea of using cosmic rays to emit frequency to communicate to extraterrestrials. His death ray and extraterrestrial radio transmitter both used energy to create extreme changes in technology.

10. Interesting facts of his life • After Nikola Tesla died in January 7th 1943 in New York City of a heart failure his designs were taken by the FBI and deemed top secret. His Tesla Coil is still being used for power reasons only and electrical demonstrations. He attempted to build an extraterrestrial radio transmitter to communicate to alien life.
