I want to give a top 10 Nikola Tesla Inventions and Innovations that revolutionized our world. I did a little research on google and many articles in the internet, so if some errors are present please be kind to write your observation on the comments section.
10) Directed-Energy Weapon
We’ll never know the EXACT details of this Tesla innovation, because he took the specifics to his grave. What we do know is this: the Serbian-American began working on a laser-like or “teleforce” beam projector in the early 1900s with a stream of energy so potent that he expected it to end all wars - hence it being dubbed a ‘death ray’ by the media. Tesla shopped around the idea and actually wrote an essay entitled “The Art of Projecting Concentrated Non-dispersive Energy through the Natural Media” in 1937. In the 1980s, the US tested a particle beam weapon as part of a proposed anti-ballistic missile defense system, so it’s clear that Tesla’s idea was not dismissed.
9) Remote Control via Radio Control
Back in 1898, New Yorkers roamed the streets of Broadway while a strange man played around with some type of apparatus. That apparatus was a teleautomaton, which was a boat that was remotely controlled through radio signals, and Tesla introduced his invention at none other than Madison Square Garden. It would be another 50+ years until the television remote control was developed, however by that time Tesla was long gone and most people didn’t care who came up with the concept - they just wanted life to be easier.
8) Electric Motor via Induction Motor
Well, here’s an idea that caught on! At this very moment, you may be fanning yourself off, but not with your own hands, because it’s not the olden days. What I am saying is this: Tesla is part of your everyday life unless you’re living under a rock in the mountains. Not everybody is lucky enough to enjoy Tesla’s innovation today, so remember this man when you open up the refrigerator for another snack. Because if it wasn’t for the induction motor that ran on an alternating current that he developed in 1887, we wouldn’t have many household appliances, tools, and so on and so forth that we probably take for granted now.
7)Tesla Coil
Perhaps you’re familiar with the movies. And perhaps you’re familiar with crazy movie scientists? Well, then you’re familiar with the Tesla coil, because any legit crazy scientist has MANY. Today, it’s mainly used to entertain kids and moviegoers, and you might have even been lucky enough to personally witness the monster Tesla coil that’s on display every year at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. However, when Tesla first invented this electrical resonant transformer, its production of high-voltage, low-current, high frequency alternating current electricity was incorporated into wireless telegraphy and in medical equipment.
6) Robotics
When Tesla introduced his aforementioned boat to a New York City crowd in 1898, you could say that people were a tiny bit agitated as the concept itself was frightening. But what transpired was the dawn of a new era; a world in which Tesla hoped that actual robots could assist human beings in positive ways. Tesla saw the world through a unique lens, but most of his contemporaries saw something else. That’s why Tesla was Tesla, and that’s why we now have robots. And as such, he’s also been called the Father of Robotics.
