March 1899
Nikola Tesla was a scientist, inventor, and explorer. He invented the alternating current system and the alternating current motor that we now use, high-frequency generators and transformers. He, long before Marconi and Popov, invented the radio transmitter and the mast antenna.
Soon after, Tesla left Edison and started his own company: Tesla Electric Light & Manufacturing. He had many inventions during his life, including a radio, a radio telescope, and a system for wireless power transmission. He died on January 7 January 1943 in New York City, leaving behind significant contributions to science and technology.
Nikola Tesla was born on July 10, 1856, in Smiljan, Croatia. He studied physics and mathematics in Graz, Austria, and worked for the telephone company in Budapest. In 1882 he moved to Paris to work for the Continental Edison Company. In 1884 the year Tesla moved to New York, where he began working for Thomas Edison.

“Energy, inspiration, and vision.
- That's what makes us great.”
- Nikola Tesla
Tesla was the author of more than eight hundred inventions, although he patented only three hundred. But he considered all of these inventions to be only a prelude to his next great discoveries. He wanted to develop a way to transmit energy over distances on an industrial scale, to obtain energy from world space, and to control geophysical processes with the help of resonance. Unfortunately, he failed to realize all these ideas. But Nikola Tesla's scientific legacy is enormous. Many scientists and researchers have and will continue to refer to him.
Nicola's inventions
One of Tesla's most important inventions, which led to the widespread use of alternating current for electrical transmission. The motor became a key component for industry and transportation and is still relevant today.
AC motor:
One of Tesla's most famous inventions was the Tesla coil, which allowed wireless transmission of energy over long distances. This discovery became the basis for the development of radio and wireless technology.
Tesla transformer (or Tesla coil):
Tesla dreamed of creating a global system of wireless transmission of energy and information. Although his dream was never realized, his ideas and experiments laid the foundation for modern wireless communication.
Wireless power transmission system:
Although Guglielmo Marconi is often called the “father of radio,” Tesla made significant contributions to the development of radio engineering and wireless communication. He developed the radio control system that was used in early radio-controlled devices and became the basis for remote control of many machines.
Radio:

His discoveries and inventions became the basis for the development of many of the technologies and scientific principles that we still use today.
In the field of radio and light, Tesla made significant discoveries. His work in the development of radio technology and radio transmission of signals became the basis for the creation of modern communication systems and radio stations. His research on light also led to the development of an efficient lighting system based on electricity.
One of Tesla's most significant contributions was his work in the field of electricity and magnetism. He invented the alternating current system that has become the standard in the modern electrical industry. Thanks to this system, electricity could be efficiently transmitted over long distances, which laid the foundation for modern power grids.

Technologies based on Nikola Tesla's discoveries play a huge role in our modern technological life. They provide us with electricity, allow us to communicate and transmit information, and illuminate our surroundings. Tesla's legacy continues to inspire scientists, engineers, and inventors around the world, and its impact cannot be overstated.
Tesla's legacy
Ilon Musk is also inspired by Tesla's work in radio technology and light. He uses these principles in developing wireless communication systems and efficient lighting systems for his cars and other projects. Thanks to these innovations, Tesla vehicle owners can enjoy advanced communications technology and comfortable interior lighting.
In addition, the wireless power transfer technology researched by Tesla has found its way into wireless chargers for Tesla's electric cars. This makes charging more convenient and safer for electric car owners.
Tesla vehicles use the principles of the AC system, invented by Tesla, in their electrical systems. This allows Tesla vehicles to be efficient and energy-efficient, as well as maximize performance and range.
Ilon Musk is actively using Nikola Tesla's knowledge and legacy in his technological innovations. Thanks to his efforts, electric cars are becoming increasingly popular and accessible to a wider audience, which contributes to the development of environmentally friendly transportation and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
