About Nikola Tesla
Serbian American engineer and physicist Nikola Tesla is known for his incredible breakthroughs in the production, transmission and application of electric power. He is credited for inventing the first alternating current (AC) motor and developed AC generation and transmission technology.
Tesla arrived in the United States in 1884, after he was hired as an electrical engineer at the New York office of Thomas Edison’s company. He arrived in the country with nothing more than four cents and a notebook of his favourite poems. Tesla left Edison’s company after six months to pursue his own work on alternating current machinery.
In 1888, Tesla partnered with American engineer and entrepreneur George Westinghouse to design the first high-frequency alternator. Their work introduced the concept of alternating current that changed the world.
