Nikola Tesla was a Serbian American inventor who died poor because, although he was a brilliant scientist, he was bad at handling his financial affairs. He spent virtually every cent he had on new experiments and was always in need of more funding. Join us, as we look at 20 secret inventions by Nikola Tesla that shocked the world.

Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla was a Serbian American inventor, best best-known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current electricity supply system he can be seen in our thumbnail shaking hands with a friend of his, or possibly, one of his creations. Never in human history has a man been so both revered and reviled as Nikola Tesla. The brilliant inventor, who is credited with groundbreaking discoveries such as the remote control and alternating current, was also well-known for his bizarre ideas and strange inventions. Failures, disappointments, financial difficulties, emotional breakdowns, and separation from the rest of the scientific world hampered his trip.
Nikola Tesla became an inspiration for many scientists who refused to be boxed in, after his death. His insane ideas continue to ring true in the hearts of many people who, like him, choose to go beyond the stars and are not afraid to show the world the fruits of their imagination. The Serbian American inventor’s reputation is often connected with his contributions to the development of alternating-current electricity, but his work also ventured into the world of robots. While Tesla did not invent robots in the contemporary sense, he was a pioneer in the field of automatons, which are mechanical machines that can perform tasks on their own. Tesla's work paved the way for eventual advances in robotics and remote control. His ideas were ahead of their time, and while he did not create robots as we know them today, his tele-automation was a significant step forward in the evolution of robotic technology.
Tesla's Egg of Columbus
Tesla spent a terrible winter working as a ditch digger from 1886 to 1887 after being driven out of Tesla Electric Light Company with nothing except worthless shares. He persevered and was motivated to improve his concept of generating energy through spinning magnetic fields. However, Tesla recognized that he had to find a means to convince investors and supporters to comprehend the potential of his innovation. Tesla created a gadget to demonstrate the concept: an electromagnetic motor that generated the force required to spin a brass egg and stand it upright. The contraption was dubbed the ""Egg of Columbus"" by Tesla after the historical anecdote in which Christopher Columbus challenged the Spanish court and investors to stand an egg upright.
When they failed, Columbus took an egg and squashed the bottom flat to keep it upright. They accused him of pulling a cheap trick, but Columbus overcame their objections by explaining that an idea can appear impossible until a smart solution is found, at which time it becomes simple. This idea was incorporated into Tesla's Egg of Columbus, which he used to illustrate his concept of alternating current power to investors. It was a stroke of genius that resulted in investment from investors Alfred S. Brown, the director of Western Union, and Charles F. Peck, a New York City attorney
