Nikola Tesla (/ ˈ n ɪ k ə l ə ˈ t ɛ s l ə /; [1] Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Тесла, [nǐkola têsla]; 10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was a Serbian-American [2] [3] engineer, futurist, and inventor. He is known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. [4]
The war of the currents was a series of events surrounding the introduction of competing electric power transmission systems in the late 1880s and early 1890s. It grew out of two lighting systems developed in the late 1870s and early 1880s; arc lamp street lighting running on high-voltage alternating current (AC), and large-scale low-voltage direct current (DC) indoor incandescent lighting ...
Some notable people who have been claimed to be suppressed, harassed, or killed for their research are Stanley Meyer, [17] Eugene Mallove, [18] and Nikola Tesla. [19] Free energy proponents claim that Tesla developed a system (the Wardenclyffe Tower) that could generate unlimited energy for free.
