The Issue

World should know the truth of Nikola Tesla and his inventions.

Induction motor - this is a superior type of motor because it relies on electromagnetic induction as a supplementary source of power to the rotor. In layman’s terms, in means that this motor is remarkably more efficient, more powerful and consumes less power when compared to standard combustion motors. It’s no wonder this technology is widely used by car manufacturers worldwide.

The tesla coil - At the time regarded as a mere eccentricity by an “esoteric” inventor, the Tesla coil is now widely used in many devices produced on industrial scale, including most television and radio sets. The Tesla coil remains a symbol of misunderstood scientific genius, and it’s a proper testament of Tesla as a man who was well ahead of his time.

Alternating Current (AC) - In a time where most people would swear that Direct Current was the way of the future, Tesla dared to say otherwise, and he came up with Alternating current. At the time he was regarded as a mercenary at best, a crazy man at worse… but truth of the matter is that nowadays the majority of public electricity networks relies on using alternating current.

modern radio - many people assume the radio transmitter was invented by Marconi, but this isn’t completely accurate. While it’s true that Marconi may have been the first to put together a functional radio, Nikola Tesla has much credit here… after all, Marconi apparently used no less than 17 patents which at the time had been filed by Tesla, in order to put together the first radio. As such, many people nowadays think of Tesla as the father of modern radio.

fluorescent lightning – even today, an invention such as fluorescent lighting may not seem like more than a curiosity, but truth of the matter is that it was the basis for other important discoveries, even in the medicinal and pharmaceutical fields.
