Tesla's inventions made AC applicable for widespread use, helping to electrify the world

an AC Electric motor, the first two-phased AC system with 400 watt horsepower

Uses two coils, it can shoot lightning bolts, send electric currents through the body and create electron winds

was a ‘Remote Control Boat’ which is controlled by radio waves; it's one of the earliest robots

INVENTIONS THAT TESLA DIDN'T GET CREDIT FOR

RADIO

Marconi is considered to be the inventor but his work was based on Tesla's invention

Wilhelm Röntgen is considered to be the inventor but Tesla actually discovered it and took the first x-ray photos

X-RAY

Tesla designed the first hydroelectric plant at Niagara Falls, powerfull enough to light the city

HYDRO-ELECTRICITY

This small device Tesla put on a building and it produced a huge woble, so everybody though it was an earthquake

EARTHQUAKE MACHINE

LATE YEARS

A rich man-Westinghouse hired Tesla, licensed the patents for his AC motor and gave him his own lab. In 1895 Tesla’s New York lab burned, destroying years’ worth of notes and equipment.

Nikola Tesla died poor because he sold most of his important patents to Westinghouse .

Nikola Tesla invested his money in new inventions so he ran out of money.He had more than 700 patents when he died.
