Tesla's electro-mechanical oscillator is a steam-powered electric generator patented by Nikola Tesla in 1893. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Later in life, Tesla claimed one version of the oscillator caused an earthquake in New York City in 1898, gaining it the colloquial title "Tesla's earthquake machine ".
In the early 1890s Nikola Tesla began his research into high-frequency electricity. Tesla was aware of Hertz's experiments with electromagnetic waves from 1889 on [12] [13] but, (like many scientists of that time) thought, even if radio waves existed, they would probably only travel in straight lines making them useless for long range ...

Nikola Tesla was born into an ethnic Serb family in the village of Smiljan, within the Military Frontier, in the Austrian Empire (present-day Croatia), on 10 July 1856. [8] [9] His father, Milutin Tesla (1819–1879), [10] was a priest of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
The Wardenclyffe Power Plant prototype, intended by Nikola Tesla to be a "World Wireless" telecommunications facility.. The World Wireless System was a turn of the 20th century proposed telecommunications and electrical power delivery system designed by inventor Nikola Tesla based on his theories of using Earth and its atmosphere as electrical conductors.
The first person to use resonant circuits in a radio application was Nikola Tesla, who invented the resonant transformer in 1891. [59] At a March 1893 St. Louis lecture [60] he had demonstrated a wireless system that, although it was intended for wireless power transmission, had many of the elements of later radio communication systems.
A Tesla coil is an electrical resonant transformer circuit designed by inventor Nikola Tesla in 1891. [1] It is used to produce high-voltage, low-current, high-frequency alternating-current electricity. [2] [3] Tesla experimented with a number of different configurations consisting of two, or sometimes three, coupled resonant electric circuits.
