Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. He was born on July 10, 1856, in Smiljan, which was then part of the Austrian Empire (modern-day Croatia), and he died on January 7, 1943, in New York City.
Tesla's innovations and discoveries greatly influenced the development of electrical engineering and many other fields. Some of his most notable contributions include the invention of the alternating current induction motor and transformer, which allowed for the widespread distribution of electricity over long distances. He also conducted pioneering work in wireless communication and radio technology, contributing to the development of the radio.
Throughout his life, Tesla obtained numerous patents for his inventions and made significant contributions to science and technology. Despite facing financial difficulties and often being overshadowed by other inventors of his time, Tesla's work laid the groundwork for many modern electrical systems and technologies. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest inventors and visionaries in history.
