Mysterious Inventions of the Great Tesla

Nikola Tesla was one of the most famous Serbian and international inventors and scientists in the fields of physics, electrical engineering and radio waves. He eventually built his way to the United States, where he became famous for his achievements, winning image as "mad scientist" in popular culture.

Here's a look back at some of the most amazing and the most important discoveries that Tesla created.

The great inventor Nikola Tesla was obsessed with creating death rays as the ultimate weapon that would be so powerful that people would no longer have the desire for war. Tesla is in fact the only scientist in this field who did not use the sun and mirrors to create the rays of death but only electricity. Tesla was explaining that even the all electricity of New York City concentrated in the ray, could not hurt a man at a greater distance. But ,so focused beam of penetrating particles can be a lethal weapon.

The small size, high speed and high charge ejected missiles were supposed to ensure the penetration over long distances. Such missiles would be thrown out in a series and they would create high-energy jet.

Although only a few people considered him seriously, after his death, the US government confiscated all his papers in the field of death rays, fearing that Tesla was right and that someone really could make it.

Another invention that Tesla showed the world in 1893 in Chicago was the wireless transmission of electricity, launching a series of phosphorous balls in a process called electrodynamics induction. Tesla theorized that such technology would allow "shooting" over long distances in the atmosphere, and supply remote destinations electricity.

In 1893, Tesla patented electric steam-powered generator called oscillator. Later in life, Tesla claimed that one version of the oscillator is strong enough to cause earthquakes, which he did in New York in 1898, under the code name of Tesla's earthquake machine. The inventor has also claimed that the machine was destroyed, and made all the assistants in the laboratory not to talk about it.

Nikola Tesla constructed his famous electric motor in 1887. The greatest use had an asynchronous electric motor that can be operated using a single-phase or three-phase current. It works on the principle of rotating electromagnetic field.

The engine has two main parts: the stator and rotor. On the inside of the stator, it has three separate spools. The rotor is located inside the shaft, takes the form of a small cylinder jacket of parallel copper rods. At the end of these rods are copper rings that connects them.
