"The man who died alone in the hotel room"

Who was Nikola Tesla? Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and physicist. He is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electrical supply system. Tesla held over 300 patents worldwide and had a profound impact on numerous fields, including electromagnetism, wireless communication, and robotics. Some of his notable inventions and concepts include:

1. Alternating current (AC) electrical power transmission and distribution systems.

2. Tesla coil - a high-voltage transformer invention used to produce high-frequency alternating current.

3. Induction motor - a type of electric motor that uses magnetic fields to generate mechanical power.

4. Tesla turbine - a bladeless rotary engine concept utilizing fluid propulsion.

5. Wireless energy transfer - pioneering work in wireless transmission of electrical power.

6. Wireless telegraphy - contributions to radio and wireless communication technology.

7. Remote control - development of early wireless-controlled devices.

8. X-rays - theoretical and experimental work attributed to the development of X-ray imaging.

9. Electric vehicle technology - work on electric propulsion systems and concepts.

10. Robotics - conceptualization of automated machines and early artificial intelligence ideas.

Here are ten quotes attributed to Nikola Tesla:

1. "The present is theirs; the future, for which I worked, is mine."

2. "The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of existence."

3. "If your hate could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world."

4. "The present is a mere stepping stone to the future."

5. "Of all things, I liked books best."

6. "The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane."

7. "The desire that guides me in all I do is to harness the forces of nature to the service of mankind."

8. "The gift of mental power comes from God, a divine being, and if we concentrate our minds on that truth, we become in tune with this great power."

9. "Let the future tell the truth and evaluate each according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I worked, is mine."

10. "Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more."

A question that comes to my mind after knowing all of his groundbreaking contributions is "Why this man died alone in the hotel room?"

Nikola Tesla passed away on January 7, 1943, in New York City at 86. After a long and prolific career, Tesla spent his final years working on a variety of projects and inventions, some of which were never fully realized. Towards the end of his life, Tesla faced financial difficulties and struggled to gain widespread recognition and support for his ideas. He died alone in his hotel room and his death was initially overlooked by the media. Tesla's contributions to science and technology were eventually acknowledged and he is now widely regarded as one of the greatest inventors and visionaries in history.

Last words of Nikola Tesla: "I wish I could be beside you now mother, to bring you the glass of water. All these years I have spent in the service of mankind brought me nothing but insults and humiliation.”

Most of you may have heard about Thomas Edison but not Nikola Tesla. So What was the connection between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla? Edison and Tesla were brutal competitors and Tesla worked for Edison for a short time, hired to work out the kinks in Edison's direct current electrical system. He decided to quit Edison's project to continue work on his own because Edison's firm belief in the superiority of DC, combined with his fear of AC's safety risks, led him to launch a fierce campaign against Tesla's AC technology. Edison even went to extreme lengths, publicly electrocuting animals in an attempt to discredit the dangers of AC power.
