Nikola Tesla section added to Imaginarium


I’ve just added some clipart pictures of Nikola Tesla, the amazing inventor and scientist, to the imaginarium. Steampunk Icon Tesla was born in Serbia 10 July 1856 – a subject of the Austrian Empire, but later obtained an American citizenship. He became an inventor, a mechanical engineer, and an electrical engineer and he was an important contributor to the birth of commercial electricity. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, he became famous for his many revolutionary developments in the field of electromagnetism. Tesla’s patents and theory helped usher in the Second Industrial Revolution and his patents and theories formed the basis of modern a AC electricity including the polyphase system and the AC motor.
He pioneered modern electrical engineering and many of his discoveries were of groundbreaking importance. After his 1894 demonstration of wireless communication through radio – and as the victor in the “War of Currents” – he became widely respected as one of the greatest electrical engineers working in the USA. During this time – certainly in the USA – Tesla’s fame rivaled that of any other scientist or inventor in either history or popular culture.

Tesla demonstrated using wireless energy transfer to power electronic devices as early as 1893, and in his unfinished Wardenclyffe Tower project aspired to intercontinental wireless transmission of industrial power.

Sadly, because of his eccentric personality and seemingly unbelievable and often bizarre ideas about scientific and technological developments, by late in his life Tesla came to be regarded as a ‘mad scientist’ and was ostracized by many. At the age of 86, and with very little money, Tesla died in a New York hotel suite on 7 January 1943.

In 1960 the Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures in Paris named the International System of Units unit measuring magnetic field B (also referred to as the magnetic flux density and magnetic induction), the tesla in his honor. (info abridged from Wikepedia)

Google Tesla and find out much more about him, but save yourself the trouble of finding pics by visiting the imaginarium
