	Nikola Tesla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tesla considered his exploration of various questions raised by science as ultimately a means to improve the human condition with the principles of science and industrial progress, and one that was compatible with nature.
		Tesla was born at the stroke of midnight during a lightning storm in Smiljan near Gospić, Lika, (the Military Frontier of the Austria-Hungarian empire, a part of Croatia).
		Tesla, at his lab, proved that the earth was a conductor and produced artificial lightning (with the discharges consisting of millions of volts and were up to 135 feet long).

	IEEE History Center - Legacies: Nikola Tesla
		Nikola Tesla was born at the stroke of midnight in the village of Smilian, Croatia (then part of Austria-Hungary) on 10 July 1856.
		By 1888 Tesla had obtained patents on a whole polyphase system of alternating- current dynamos, transformers, and motors; the rights to these were bought in that year by George Westinghouse, and the "battle of the currents" was begun.
		It was at his Colorado laboratory, too, that Tesla, who had become increasingly withdrawn and eccentric ever since the death of his mother in 1892, announced that he had received signals from foreign planets, a statement that was greeted with some skepticism.

	Nikola Tesla
		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.
		Tesla managed to light 200 lamps, without wires, from 25 miles away, but his proudest achievement was the production of man-made lightning - incredible electrical flashes measuring up to 135 feet.

		Tesla's adherents have always claimed a place in this company for him, claiming he was the true inventor of radio, but in this context it is probably more accurate to speak of the invention of radio rather than the inventor of radio.
		Tesla's attempt to salvage the Wardenclyffe project staggered on for a few more years, until he finally ran out of money in 1911 and the mortgage on the land was foreclosed on.

		Tesla was told (by Edison) that if he could repair all of the faulty and broken down motors and generators in the Edison plant that he would receive $50,000.00 for his effort.
		Tesla made his first million before he was 40, but gave up the royalties on his most profitable invention as a humanitarian gesture.
