Who is he?
Nikola Telsa was an Serbian American inventor and electrical engineer who used a coil to produce wireless energy in his innovative experiments such as electrical lighting, phosphorescence, or X-ray generation. Inventor Nikola Tesla was born in July of 1856 in in the village of Smiljan, Austrian Empire. He came to the U.S in 1884 to work with Thomas Edison for the Continental Edison Company in France, designing and making improvements to electrical equipment. In 1886, Telsa opened his own company with two others partners, Robert Lane and Benjamin Vail, and named his company, Tesla Electric Light & Manufacturing. In 1891, he invented “Telsa coil” which is an electrical resonant transformer circuit that still be used in radio technology nowadays. He died on January 7, 1943 in New York.
Coil?
Tesla’s coil was created for wireless technologies such as radios. Even nowadays, the same technology is used for radios whether for our vehicles, or regular radios. The way it works is that it produces high voltage, low current, and also high frequency that alternates current electricity. Tesla’s AC hydroelectric power plants used to power cities. This is another one of Tesla’s powers transfer ideas which he thought it worked for the nation, but he not only wanted to transfer power within the nation but also around the world. This project began in the city of Niagra Falls, then he manage to power the city of Buffalo, New York. Thanks to his invention, his invention remains existing in today’s time.
Functionality:
- The transformer boosts the voltage
- The power source is hooked up to the primary coil. The primary coil’s capacitor will soak up to charge to develop the wireless energy.
- The electric current will build up until the energy hit the the tipping point.
- A hug voltage current will flow from the gap to the secondary coil.
- The energy go back and forth between two point. On the secondary coil, there is a top-load which will shoot out the lightning when all the current is concentrated.
Conclusion:
Tesla was definitely a man of innovation with his idea of free accessible energy for everyone. Hopefully his great ideas will be used to solve some issues experienced by some people nowadays in terms of electricity.
