Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. He invented the AC motor and developed AC power transmission systems. Some of his other inventions include the Tesla coil, fluorescent lighting, and wireless radio. He pioneered research into robotics and what is now known as remote control. However, his ideas were often not fully recognized during his lifetime.

INVENTOR, ELECTRICAL ENGINEER AND MECHANICAL ENGINEER
NIKOLA TESLA Nikola Tesla was born in the village of Smiljan during the Austro- Hungarian Empire, in present-day Croatia, on July 10, 1856. The son of an Orthodox priest, he was trained by his father from an early age to develop his memory and reasoning skills. His mother came from a family of inventors.
In 1873, Tesla began studying Electrical Engineering at the
Polytechnic Institute in Graz, Austria, focusing primarily on physics and mathematics. He graduated from the University of Prague in 1880. In 1881, he joined the Budapest Telephone Exchange, where he began his career as an electrical engineer. ALTERNATING CURRENT
Alternating current is one of the forms of electric current. The
development of alternating current power systems was initiated by Nikola Tesla, who recognized the advantages of alternating current over direct current. It can be generated more easily and efficiently using alternating current generators, and its voltage can be easily changed with the use of transformers. This allowed for the establishment of large-scale power grids that provide electricity to homes, businesses, and industries. NIKOLA TESLA AND THOMAS EDISON In 1882, Tesla worked at the Continental Edison Company in Paris. Two years later, he was invited to work for Thomas Edison's (1847-1931) firm in New York, where he moved.
Differences of opinion between Tesla and Thomas Edison regarding
direct current were the reasons behind their disagreement. Tesla had created tools to make the use of alternating current viable, an efficient way to transmit energy over long distances, although potentially dangerous in case of accidents. Edison, whose technologies were based on direct current, opposed Tesla's "lethal current." The alternating current pioneered by Tesla is the one that now flows through the high-voltage wires across the planet. INVENTIONS In total, Nikola Tesla registered approximately 40 patents in the United States and over 700 worldwide. His inventions focused on the utilization of electricity and magnetism, including: fluorescent lamp, induction motor (used in industries and various household appliances), remote control, Tesla Coil, radio transmission, ignition system used in car starting, alternating current, and more. CONCLUSION Nikola Tesla: the pioneer of electrical energy, his contributions have had an impact on our daily lives, making it much easier. Electric lighting, for example, became a reality thanks to the adoption of his innovations. His vision and inventiveness paved the way for a modern society highly dependent on electricity. "I SEE TESLA NOT ONLY AS THE FATHER OF ELECTRICITY OR GLOBAL COMMUNICATION," SAYS HISTORIAN AND FILMMAKER MICHAEL KRAUSE TO THE BBC.
"HE HAD IDEAS THAT WERE AHEAD OF HIS TIME - HE WAS
A VISIONARY WHO MADE HIS CONTRIBUTION TO THE EVOLUTION OF HUMANITY."
