Today, I will be introducing you to my new invention, as well as giving you a look at myself and my previous inventions so that you will have a good perspective about how profitable your investment will end up being. To start off, i’ll like to take you back to my home village of Smiljan, Siberia. I was born on july tenth 1856. My father, Milutin Tesla, was a Serbian Orthodox priest. My mother’s name was Duka Tesla. I was the fourth of five children, I had an older brother named Dane, and three sisters, Milka, Angelina and Marcia. When I was just five years old, my older brother Dane was killed while riding on horseback, I suffered traumatic flashbacks and hallucinations for years to come after the incident. After I had completed both Lower and Primary school in Smiljan, my family and I moved to Gospic in the Austrian Empire, there I again completed Lower and Primary school, but then moved on to Lower Real Gymnasium. After finishing Lower Real Gymnasium, i moved to Karlovac to complete Higher Real Gymnasium where i was influenced my arithmetic teacher, Martin Sekulic. I was so gifted at math, I could perform quite complex equations in my head, so gifted in fact, that some of my teachers began to believe that I was cheating on exams! They soon realized that i wasn’t, and i completed the four year school session in three years I graduated in 1873. After I was done with my lower schoolings, I came back to my home town, where I almost immediately contracted cholera. Throughout this time, I came close to death many times. My father had promised me that if i recovered, he would send me to engineering school, a field that I had looked into throughout my life up to this point. When i did recover, I enrolled in Austrian Polytechn... ... middle of paper ... ...pany, here, my investors and I set up a laboratory at 89 Liberty Street in Manhattan so that I could work on me plans and prototypes of my inventions. Mostly, i focused my efforts on AC current generators and means to transport that power to the public. After I had worked and produced one of these generators, a friend of mine, asked me to present and show off my generator at the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. A fellow inventor, George Westinghouse, who was also working on an AC motor, decided to buy my polyphase induction motor and transformer designs for $60,000 in cash as well as stock. He also decided to pay me $2.50 per AC horsepower produced by each motor to sweeten the deal. Westinghouse also decided to hire me for 2,000 dollars a month as a electrical advisor and technician and the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company's Pittsburgh labs.
“Money does not represent such a value as men have placed upon it. All my money has been invested into experiments with which I have made new discoveries enabling mankind to have a little easier life.” (Politika, 1927) During his 86 years Nikola Tesla obtained around 300 patents worldwide for his inventions, while many inventions developed by Tesla were not patent protected. Tesla’s inventions ranged from alternating current motors to a World Wireless System which is a proposed telecommunications and electrical power delivery system and Teleforce which is a self-defense weapon system that used pellets or slugs that were accelerated to a high velocity in a vacuum chamber then fired out of nozzles that would aim at the target.

Many years ago there was a small boy who was woken by a loud scream. Terrified, he ran from his room to find his mother unconscious on the floor. His little sister was screaming as he pulled his mom onto her back in desperation. In reality, he didn’t know what to do to save her and his helplessness was due to his lack of knowledge. She passed away that night. That boy was me. Our past defines us no matter how we protest; it can either pull you down into failure or lift you up towards success. From then on, I was drawn to medical sciences and used that helplessness to motivate my education.

As James Levine is famous for saying, “I was lucky that I met the right mentors and teachers at the right moment.” To me, one of the greatest mentors of innovative scientific history was Nikola Tesla. That being said, if given the opportunity to spend the next year of my life in a different time period I would like to live during the year 1942 so I could work beside Tesla. This was the year before Tesla died, a time when he had experienced the full scope of his expertise and could impart that wisdom to me. My questions about his popularity would be answered in full. Questions about Tesla’s integrity could lead to the answer to the legendary disputes about what was rightfully his. Legends about genius inventions that could only be imagined
Nikola Tesla is a man that many individuals associate with brilliance. Moreover, Tesla is a name that ignites impulses within an individual’s brain which illuminate, via bio-circuitry, the thought association of Tesla and brilliance, similar to the force we term as electricity. Brilliance however, shouldn’t be the only descriptive word to come to mind when thinking of one of the greatest engineers and inventors to live. Innovation and determination should be undoubtedly included in the list of descriptive words of Mr. Nikola Tesla. For without the innovative mind of Tesla, midcentury inventions as well as current technological advances would be nonexistent, or worse, credited to Thomas Edison.

The Wizard of Menlo Park, formally known as Thomas Edison, was born into a medium sized family and lost most of his hearing by the time he turned 14. Essentially being a self-taught student, Edison, by the end of his career, held over 1,000 patents in America alone (“Thomas Edison Home.”). He made inventions that reduced the workload of people by a substantial amount. His inventions were many and helped many more by contributing masses of technological advances and providing them at an affordable price to families that needed them.
Nikola Tesla is a world famous inventor and electrician. His contributions to the world have changed it, helped it, and helped it develop into the future. But one loss in the family caused him to gain low self-esteem, and for his accomplishments to pale in comparison to the memories his family held of the one they lost.
There are 4 innovative products that are to be introduced into the market by budding entrepreneurs and small companies.
Thomas (Alva) Edison was one of America’s most important and famous inventors. Edison was born into a time and place where there wasn’t much technological advancements. His inventions helped a lot of things quickly change in the world. His inventions contributed to many inventions today such as the night light, movies, telephones, and records and CDs.
He next formed a company, the Tesla Electric Light & Manufactoring. Unfortunately, his investors disagreed with his plans for developin...
Right from my school days, I have always shown a high degree of competence and interest in subjects like Mathematics and Science. I scored 88 marks in Mathematics & 84 marks in Science in Secondary School (10th standard). It was with this motivation that I took up the Science stream in my senior school. I completed my senior school with first class grade. My fairly good performance at secondary and senior school gave me the confidence to take Engineering as my career.

I have always felt drawn to medicine and working in the medical field. Upon entering college, I oscillated between going into the pre-med program or doing engineering, I had no idea what I was meant to do with my life. In this time of contemplation, I found myself being guided towards engineering, whether this was pressuring from others or God, I’m not sure, but I felt it was the right place for me. Since entering college, my understanding of what it means to be a student has changed. I have found that I needed to make a more conscious effort when studying or doing homework. I have realized that this is the time to learn and absorb knowledge because this is one of the last steps in my education. With this in mind I have been trying to take advantage of the resources the college offers. I have already signed up for a tutor and meet with them once a week. I also visit with my classmates after class or at night if I find I am struggling to complete difficult assignments. By talking to members of my classes, I am expanding my knowledge of the subject, as well as my relationships with those individuals. I have also realized my experiences and performance in
