Nikola Tesla – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MADRID, 10 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) –
This July 10 marks the 167th anniversary of the birth (1856) in Croatia of the engineer and physicist Nikola Tesla, inventor of the alternating current motorwhich contributed to the second industrial revolution.
Tesla’s patents and his theoretical work helped to forge the foundations of modern systems for the use of electrical energy by alternating current. In addition to his work in electromagnetism and electromechanical engineering, Tesla’s work later served to varying degrees in the development of robotics, remote control, radar, computer science, ballistics, nuclear physics, and physics. theoretical. His thoughts can be summed up in these seven quotes.
– “Our virtues and our defects are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man no longer exists.”
– “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”
– “I don’t care that they stole my idea… I care that they don’t have anything of their own.”
– “Today’s scientists think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be completely insane.”
– “I don’t think you can name many great inventions that have been made by married men.”
– “I am constantly invaded by the feeling of having been the first to hear the greeting from one planet to another.”
– “If your hate turned into electricity, the whole world would light up.”
Following his demonstration of wireless communication by means of radio waves in 1894 and after his victory in the ‘war of currents’ against Edison (who advocated the use of direct current), was widely recognized as one of the greatest electrical engineers in the United States, Wikipedia reports.
During this period Tesla’s fame rivaled that of any inventor or scientist in history or popular culture, but due to his eccentric personality and incredible claims about the possible development of scientific and technological innovations, Tesla ended up ostracized and considered a mad scientist He never paid much attention to his finances and is said to have died impoverished at the age of 86.
