Who is Nikola Tesla?

Tesla invented just about everything. As you work on your computer, remember Tesla. His Tesla Coil supplies the high voltage for the picture tube you use. The electricity for your computer comes from a Tesla-designed AC generator, is sent through a Tesla transformer, and gets to your house through 3-phase Tesla power.

If you'd like to read more about Nikola Tesla, I have compiled a short list of some of the books about and by him. You can read more about them, and even buy them online if you like!

Here's a short list of some of the stuff he invented:

• The polyphase induction motor
• The hydroelectric generator
• Radio (also here)
• X-Rays
• Vacuum tubes (search for Thermionic Valves)
• Fluorescent lights
• Microwaves (search for microwave)
• Radar (search for Tesla)
• AC power (both 2-phase and 3-phase)
• Broadcast power
• The rotary engine

Oh, yeah - and

• The Tesla Coil

And here's a short list of some of the other stuff he fooled around with:

• Radio wave propagation
• Missile science
• Robots
• Remote control
• Beam weapons
• Ball lightning

And then, of course, there's that mysterious "black box..."

Please check out:

• The Tesla Wardenclyffe Project
• Winghead's Top 100 Dinner Guests (of course, Tesla made the list!)
