	Nikola Tesla
		Nikola Tesla ( July 10, 1856 - January 7, 1943) (Baptism name: Николай; Nikolaj; Name in Cyrillic alphabet: Никола Тесла) was a Serb - American physicist, inventor, and electrical engineer, born in the town Gospić; in Austria-Hungary, on a territory which is today in Croatia.
		Tesla's most famous contribution was the theory of polyphase alternating current electricity, which he used to build the first induction motor in 1882, as well as developing the designs of numerous other electrical machines and related technology.
		Tesla is also noted for inventing the Tesla coil and a bladeless turbine (which functions on the principles of fluid viscosity and the boundary layer effect).

	Science Fair Projects - Nikola Tesla
		Tesla is most famous for conceiving the rotating magnetic field principle ( 1882) and then using it to invent the induction motor together with the accompanying alternating current long-distance electrical transmission system ( 1888) [1].
		Milutin Tesla, was a priest in the Serb Orthodox Metropolitanate of Karlovci.
		Tesla logged in the diary on July 3, 1899 that a separate resonance transformer tuned to the same high frequency as a larger high-voltage resonance transformer would transceive energy from the larger coil, acting as a transmitter of wireless energy, which was used to confirm Tesla's patent for radio during later disputes in the courts.

		Nikola Tesla, the eccentric - and unbelievably underrated - genius known as the ‘wild man of electronics’, was possibly the greatest mind in the long history of the human race.
		Tesla invented the alternating-current generator that provides your light and electricity, the transformer through which it is sent, and even the high voltage coil of your picture-tube.
		Tesla began working with Thomas Edison, but the two men were worlds apart in both their science and cultures (The fact that Tesla's alternating-current concept posed a direct threat to sales of Edison's direct-current devices probably didn't help) and soon went their separate ways.

	Astrocartography of Nikola Tesla's Least-aspected Mercury,Uranus
		The eminent “intellectual / of electricity” (Primary Mercury / Secondary Uranus), Nikola Tesla was born in Smiljan, Croatia and later immigrated to the United States, settling on the East Coast precisely under the setting position of his Primary Mercury line.
		Tesla’s invention “revolutionized” (Uranus) the modern use and distribution of electricity and enabled entire cities to receive a safe, reliable form of electrical current — a feat achieved on a large scale for the first time with his lighting of the 1893 Chicago World Columbian Exposition.
		Tesla’s statement about his wireless apparatus transmitting “unlimited power” was merely groundless “boasting” (Leading Sun) according to Seifer, yet such statements clearly frightened the powers-that-be and eventually led to Tesla’s own economic privations and — ironic as the term may be — his unempowerment.

	"Current Read #4" by Robin Chew
		(Yes Tesla, and not Marconi invented the radio, and holds the original patent for its development.) Tesla fundamentally changed the world, and yet he was portrayed as at most a footnote to the stories of the more renown inventors and industrialists of his day, giants like Thomas Edison and Westinghouse Electric founder George Westinghouse.
		Tesla handed Edison Batchalor's note which said, "I know two great men and you are one of them; the other is this young man." That got Edison's attention and he inquired what Tesla could do.
		Tesla explored and developed many of the fundamental concepts of modern technology, and achieved fame and fortune to match his accomplishments.
