Nikola Tesla was a Serbian American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer and futurist who changed the scientific fields of electricity and magnetism forever. Tesla's major discoveries include the rotating magnetic field, magnifying transmitter and Tesla coil. His research laid much of the groundwork for modern electrical systems, and his "alternating current" powers many of the technological innovations we have today--power supply, industrial production, transportation, heating, lighting, and communication. In his fascinating memoir My Inventions, Tesla recounts his relentless pursuit of the electric motor--an achievement once deemed impossible by leading experts of his time. Delving deep into the recesses of his own mind, Tesla pushed the boundaries of science and imagination, often at great personal cost. His discoveries didn't just challenge convention--they transformed the world.
