Fun Facts About Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla’s pioneering work in electrical engineering laid the foundation for modern power distribution and wireless communication. In 1888, he patented the polyphase alternating current (AC) motor, a breakthrough that utilized rotating magnetic fields to transmit electricity more efficiently than the direct current (DC) systems of the era. This technology was most famously applied at Niagara Falls, where Tesla and George Westinghouse constructed the world’s first major hydroelectric power plant. By successfully transmitting electricity to Buffalo, New York, in 1896, the project…
