andeducation
Born in Smiljan in what is now known as the country of Croatia on July 10, 1856 to a family of five siblings, Nikola grew up interested in inventing due to his mothers continuous inventing of small house hold appliances. Although his father wanted Nikola to join the Serbian orthodox priesthood as he did, Nikola's mind was much to preoccupied with electrical invention. After his public school education he studied at the Realschule, Karlstadt which was later renamed Johann-Rudolph-Glauber Realschule Karlstadt. Then Polytechnic Institute in Graz, Austria, And the University of Prague in the 1870s. Nikola loved learning. He later moved to Budapest where he first had the idea for the induction motor at age 28 while working at the Central Telephone Exchange.
The inventing years
In 1884 Tesla comes to America and is hired by famous inventor Thomas Edison. The two men work along side each other for less then a year to make improvements to Edison's inventions. It was said that the two split because of differing personalities. The years that followed were difficult, much of which Tesla had to get work as a manual laborer. In 1885 tesla started the tesla Light Company and received funding support from investors who wanted him to develop improved arc lighting (which he did). In 1887 he also received funding for his new Tesla Electric Company and before the end of the year had filed several patents for his AC-based inventions. In 1888 George Westinghouse purchased those patents for stock in the Westinghouse Corporation and $60,000. cash. Working with the Westinghouse Corporation Tesla became rivals with Thomas Edison who wanted to sell his DC system to the nation. This lead to several negative press campaigns waged by Edison in hopes of deflecting interest off Tesla's AC power ideas. During this time Tesla filled several more patents including the Tesla coil which is still used in radio technology today (128 years later). At the World's Colombian Exposition in Chicago in 1893 Tesla demonstrated his AC system, and two years later designed one of the first AC hydroelectric power plants in the United States. It was used to power the city of Buffalo New York. The AC system then became the dominant power system of the time and still is today. During the 1890's tesla met and quickly became friendly with famous American author Mark Twain. Twain liked to visit Tesla in his lab, where in 1894Tesla photographed Twain in one of the first pictures ever lit by phosphorescent light. Although Tesla invented the radar technology, X-ray technology, remote control, and the rotating magnetic field, Some of Tesla's inventions were patented by other inventors such as the dynamos which are electric generators similar to batteries

The fall
At the age of 44 Nikola try's to build a global, wireless communication system which would be transmitted through a large electrical tower. He receives financial support for this project from investors including J.P. Morgan. The site for the project was known as Wardenclyffe on Long Island, New York. However the investors eventually began to doubt the project would work and withdrew their interest. Tesla then was forced to abandon the project all together. The property came into foreclosure and the tower was dismantled and sold as scrap to pay the debts. In 1917 Nikola Tesla declares bankruptcy and suffers a nervous breakdown. He later returns to work as a consultant. As time goes by Tesla becomes more eccentric and his inventions become increasingly outlandish and impractical such as his "death beam" which the Soviet Union showed interest in during WWII. Until his death at age 86 he devoted his time to the care of the wild pigeon population in New York City's parks even claiming communication with them. Nikola develops an obsession with the number three, and becomes an obsessive compulsive to washing his hands excessively. All of these were dismissed as eccentricities of genius.
Nikola Tesla dies on January 7, 1943 alone and destitute. A street sign was later installed on a corner near his old laboratory that identified "Nikola Tesla Corner". A few books have been written about his life and works as well as several films including the documentary Nikola Tesla, The Genius Who Lit the World, and The Secret of Nikola Tesla, and The Prestige in which Tesla was portrayed by David Bowie. Currently work on a restoration project of the Wardenclyffe site has been under way since the property was acquired in 2013 by the Tesla Science Center.

In 1884 Tesla comes to America and is hired by famous inventor Thomas Edison. The two men work along side each other for less then a year to make improvements to Edison's inventions. It was said that the two split because of differing personalities. The years that followed were difficult, much of which Tesla had to get work as a manual laborer. In 1885 tesla started the tesla Light Company and received funding support from investors who wanted him to develop improved arc lighting (which he did). In 1887 he also received funding for his new Tesla Electric Company and before the end of the year had filed several patents for his AC-based inventions. In 1888 George Westinghouse purchased those patents for stock in the Westinghouse Corporation and $60,000. cash. Working with the Westinghouse Corporation Tesla became rivals with Thomas Edison who wanted to sell his DC system to the nation. This lead to several negative press campaigns waged by Edison in hopes of deflecting interest off Tesla's AC power ideas. During this time Tesla filled several more patents including the Tesla coil which is still used in radio technology today (128 years later). At the World's Colombian Exposition in Chicago in 1893 Tesla demonstrated his AC system, and two years later designed one of the first AC hydroelectric power plants in the United States. It was used to power the city of Buffalo New York. The AC system then became the dominant power system of the time and still is today.
During the 1890's tesla met and quickly became friendly with famous American author Mark Twain. Twain liked to visit Tesla in his lab, where in 1894Tesla photographed Twain in one of the first pictures ever lit by phosphorescent light. Although Tesla invented the radar technology, X-ray technology, remote control, and the rotating magnetic field, Some of Tesla's inventions were patented by other inventors such as the dynamos which are electric generators similar to batteries
At the age of 44 Nikola try's to build a global, wireless communication system which would be transmitted through a large electrical tower. He receives financial support for this project from investors including J.P. Morgan. The site for the project was known as Wardenclyffe on Long Island, New York. However the investors eventually began to doubt the project would work and withdrew their interest. Tesla then was forced to abandon the project all together. The property came into foreclosure and the tower was dismantled and sold as scrap to pay the debts. In 1917 Nikola Tesla declares bankruptcy and suffers a nervous breakdown. He later returns to work as a consultant. As time goes by Tesla becomes more eccentric and his inventions become increasingly outlandish and impractical such as his "death beam" which the Soviet Union showed interest in during WWII. Until his death at age 86 he devoted his time to the care of the wild pigeon population in New York City's parks even claiming communication with them. Nikola develops an obsession with the number three, and becomes an obsessive compulsive to washing his hands excessively. All of these were dismissed as eccentricities of genius.
Nikola Tesla dies on January 7, 1943 alone and destitute. A street sign was later installed on a corner near his old laboratory that identified "Nikola Tesla Corner". A few books have been written about his life and works as well as several films including the documentary Nikola Tesla, The Genius Who Lit the World, and The Secret of Nikola Tesla, and The Prestige in which Tesla was portrayed by David Bowie. Currently work on a restoration project of the Wardenclyffe site has been under way since the property was acquired in 2013 by the Tesla Science Center.
