within the Walgreen’s network is truly an inspiring story. My second person of inspiration would be Nikola Tesla. When we were coming up with ideas for people who inspire us, I never thought about mentioning him. I have heard a few things about the man, but I never really thought to read up on him. This being college, I figured now would be a good time to brush up on my research skills. Tesla was a man of Serbian-American descent. Despite developing a way to produce free electricity for the world

Nikola Tesla was possibly the greatest inventor the world has known. He was is without a doubt a genius who isn’t only credited with many devices we use today, but is also credited with astonishing, sometimes world transforming that are even amazing by today’s standards.

is and his inventions. The misconception is that Thomas Edison was responsible for all the electrical devices that we know today, when the individuals who deserve the credit is Nikola Telsa. Some of his most fashion works includes the polyp hate motors, wireless energy transmission and the universally employed alternating current, most commonly known as AC Current. Nikola Telsa was born on July 10th 1856, in Smiljan,lIka part of Austro-Hungarian Croatia. He was the fourth of seven children

“If someday they say of me that in my work I have contributed something to the welfare and happiness of my fellow man, I shall be satisfied (George Westinghouse).” Westinghouse surrounded himself with great people such as Nikola Tesla and treated his men with great respect. I feel that Westinghouse has become a model for all who inspire to become a great leader. The reason why I have chosen George Westinghouse is because I saw his name and realized that it was the same name as my television I

Who is Nikola Tesla? NIkola Tesla was a serbian inventor born July 10, 1856. He was born and raised in Croatia. When Tesla was seven years old his brother was killed in a accident. When his brother died he was reported seeing visions. As a boy he was fascinated with the idea of turning Niagara Falls into a power source. Nikola Tesla’s teacher scorned him at the idea of turning Niagra Falls into a power source. Nikola Tesla’s mother Djuka Mandic inspired him as a child. His mom was always inventing

Politics (bullet 1) In college, Tesla observed the engine and after studying it, determined a way to take advantage of alternating current. A few years later, he expanded upon his original ideas regarding alternating current and designed plans for an induction motor, which would use alternating current. When he was 27, he went to work for Continental Edison Company where he realized his creation of an induction motor. The following year, Tesla moved to the United States with little more than

to the basic principles of the electric generator, the electric motor and the transformer. The advent of the modern age is marked by the introduction of electricity to homes, businesses and industry, all of which were made possible by electrical engineers. Some of the most prominent pioneers in electrical engineering include Thomas Edison (electric light bulb), George Westinghouse (alternating current), Nikola Tesla (induction motor), Guglielmo Marconi (radio) and Philo T.

the telephone and related inventions. 4. Charles Steinmetz developed new alternating-current electrical systems at General Electric Company. 5. The Serb Nikola Tesla went to the United States in 1884, where he brilliantly adapted the principle of rotating magnetic field for the construction of alternating current induction motor and the polyphase system for the generation, transmission, distribution and use of electrical power. 6. Albert Einstein developed the general theory of relativity
