Inventions of Nikola Tesla

Born in the year 1856, in Croatia, Nikola Tesla was an inventor of many devices and machines that are still being used in the modern world but very few people know that they were actually invented by this remarkable scientist. Let's take a quick look at them.

AC Motor:

Tesla invented the AC motor when he was only 21 years old. It consists of three parts: a rotor, a stator, and the coils. It was used to generate and transmit electric energy over large distances and is still used today.

Tesla Coil:

Tesla Coil was invented by Nikola Tesla in 1891. It produces high voltage, low current, and high-frequency AC wirelessly.

Radar:

A radar is a large antenna dish that transmits and receives electromagnetic signals mainly in radio and microwave regions. It is based on the ability of bats to detect the distance of objects without seeing them with their eyes because technically, they are blind. Nikola Tesla invented the radar in the year 1917. Although many people claim that Tesla did not invent radar, Heinrich Hertz was the first man to invent it.

Remote Control:

A remote control is an electronic device used to control another electronic device from a distance. Nikola Tesla, in 1898, invented the first-ever wireless remote control device.

There is also a famous story of how Tesla fooled everyone by making them believe that they could control the boat by shouting at it but in fact, he was controlling the boat himself with a remote.

Violet Ray:

Violet Ray was also invented by Nikola Tesla. Just like a tesla coil, it produces high voltage, high frequency, and low current energy to cure problems in the human body.

Wireless Electricity:

Wireless electricity was a dream of Nikola Tesla but he did not work on it enough to make it come true.

Death Ray:

Death Ray is a very powerful and dangerous device that emits a very high ray that can perish anything, even a giant airplane, on its way in seconds. It is said to be the most powerful weapon and if any nation succeeds at developing it, it can gain world domination. Nikola Tesla, before his death, claimed that he had developed the death ray and had hidden it somewhere nobody knows. Although people searched everywhere, nothing was found as claimed.

Nikola Tesla: An Unsung Hero in the Invention of a Lightbulb

By
If someone asks you who is the inventor of a lightbulb, your answer would probably be "Thomas Edison". But what if I tell you a story of a hidden scientist who made a crucial contribution to the invention of the lightbulb. His name is Nikola Tesla and he was born to be the "lightning". Nikola Tesla Early History of the Lightbulbs: The only source of light, at the very beginning of life on Earth, was Sun. Humans learned to light fire by rubbing stones together. Yet, the only source of lighting or "electricity" was the thunder in the sky. It still is the only "natural" source of electricity.  Since the early 19th century, many scientists invented the prototypes of lightbulbs with carbon filaments, that would glow when an electric current was passed through them. More bulbs were invented over the next years but none was successful to be used commercially.  Joseph Wilson Swan, a physicist, in 1850, created a prototype of a light bulb with carbon fila...

The Unified Theories and Theory of Everything

By
Unification, in simple words, is the method of unifying and simplifying two or more entities. It has been in human nature for thousands of years to simplify things even a little bit, to put them into a single framework so they do not have to look up for them separately. In the field of Science and Physics, unifying is the act of combining two or more separate areas of Physics that were earlier considered different. For decades, scientists have been attempting to unify and merge the four forces of nature. Some scientists have tried to unify the two or even three and have not achieved it yet. So, what really are the forces of nature?  The Four Fundamental Forces of Nature: Since the birth of the universe, the whole of the universal model is comprised of the basic four forces namely, the Electromagnetic force, the Strong Nuclear Force, the Weak Nuclear Force, and the Gravitational force.
