Nikola Tesla, the brilliant Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer, revolutionized technology with his groundbreaking contributions to alternating current (AC) power systems and numerous other inventions that shaped the modern world.
根据Early Life部分"Tesla's interest in electrical invention was spurred by his mother,Djuka Mandic,who invented small household appliances in her spare time while her son was growing up.Tesla对电气发明的兴趣是由他的母亲朱卡•曼迪奇(Djuka Mandic)激发的,她在儿子成长过程中利用业余时间发明了小家电...
Yet it's thanks to Tesla, not Edison, that we have electricity coming out of plugs(插头,插座), and that we even have power stations able to generate serious amounts of energy. He won "the war of the currents" with Edison, who was convinced that direct current (DC) - the sort that ...
As a trained electrical and mechanical engineer, Tesla invented so many modern marvels, that he has shaped the world perhaps more than any other inventor. His discovery of the rotating magnetic field led to him devising a better system for electrical transmission, theAC (alternating current) syst...
Nikola Tesla. Numerous patents were taken out on this phenomenal prime-mover, all of which are under Dr. Tesla’s name, and he was therefore the first person, beyond the shadow of a doubt, to introduce the rotating field principle, in perfecting the induction motor, which is to-day ...
Tesla created the rotating magnetic field by using two circuits in which the currents were out of phase with each other. Others had tried to develop AC motors using only one circuit, but their approach could not produce continuous rotation of the motor. Nikola Tesla’s two-phase system success...
Tesla's final invention was the bladeless turbine, able to produce energy using fluids, gases and centripetal force. His most popular invention was the Alternating Current motor, which did not use a dynamo or a commutator, but the rotating magnetic field. This would prove to be one of Tesla...
In 1892 the first patents concerning the polyphase power system were granted. Tesla continued research of the system and rotating magnetic field principles. Tesla served, from 1892 to 1894, as the vice president of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the forerunner (along with the Insti...
Tesla’s mightiest invention was his alternating current motor. It is difficult to overestimate its value. It was really the invention of a principle — the principle of the rotating electric field. For, once that principle was conceived, the motor and a multitude of other practical applications...
reached, I think, in the latter part of 1883, when I was in Paris, and it was at a time when my mind was being more and more dominated by an invention which I had evolved during the preceding year, and which has since become known under the name of the "rotating magnetic field."...
