Top 10 Amazing Nikola Tesla Inventions and Innovations


he’s the protege of Thomas Edison and
the man behind our modern world
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
amazing Nikola Tesla inventions and
innovations for this list we’re not only
focusing on Nikola Tesla’s inventions
but also on concepts that weren’t
necessarily invented by him such as
limitless free energy but innovated
through his research and experimentation
number 10 directed energy weapon also
known as the peace or death ray we can
make a death ray it’s there’s no death
Ray’s see oh well never know the exact
details this Tesla innovation because he
took the specifics to his grave what we
do know is this
the serbian-american began working on a
laser-like or teleforce beam projector
early in the 1900s with a stream of
energy so potent that he expected it to
end all wars
hence it being dubbed a death ray by the
media Tesla shopped around the idea and
actually wrote an essay titled the art
of projecting concentrated
non-dispersive energy through the
natural media laws is a system under
development that tracks targets and
engages them by combining six high
energy lasers into one powerful beam of
light in the 1980’s the US tested a
particle beam weapon as part of a
proposed anti-ballistic missile defense
system so it’s clear that Tesla’s idea
was not dismissed the test at China Lake
was a complete success locating tracking
and shooting down five UAS
at different ranges number nine remote
control via radio control
back in 1898 New Yorkers roamed the
streets of Broadway while a strange man
played around with some type of
apparatus crazy sure brilliant yes that
apparatus was a tella automaton which
was a boat that was remotely controlled
through radio signals and Tesla
introduced his invention and none other
than Madison Square Gardens it would be
another 50-plus years until the
television remote control was developed
the King channels press this ball
however by that time Tesla was long gone
and most people didn’t care who came up
with the next concept it just wanted
life to be easier Tesla was quite good
at helping us out
number 8 electric motor via induction
motor you skim off a toughest it with
jet speed well here’s an idea that
caught on at this very moment you may be
Fanning yourself off but not with your
own hands because it’s not the olden
days am i right no you use an electric
fan while Dad works away in the garage
with power tools and mom counts the time
on our watch because it’s almost time
for dinner what we’re saying is this
Tesla is part of your everyday life
unless you’re living under a rock in the
mountains although there’s nothing wrong
with that go rocks not everybody is
lucky enough to enjoy Tesla’s innovation
today so remember this man when you open
up the refrigerator for another snack
because if it wasn’t for the induction
motor that ran on an alternating current
that he developed in 1887 we wouldn’t
have many household appliances tools and
so on and so forth that we probably take
for granted now single speed drive unit
takes Model S all the way up to 130
miles an hour in just one gear number 7
Tesla coil the trouble is that the
voltages are so huge
that Tesla coils even small ones like
this can also produce lightning perhaps
you’re familiar with the movies and
perhaps you’re familiar with crazy movie
scientists
well then you’re familiar with the Tesla
coil because any legit crazy scientist
has many okay hold on tight and enjoy
the show
today it’s mainly used to entertain kids
and movie goers and you might have even
been lucky enough to personally witness
the monster Tesla coil that’s on display
every year at the Coachella Valley Music
Festival and the one musician Bjork once
used as an instrument in the song
thunderbolt which needless to say was
not a top 40 hit should I – pray
however when Tesla first invented this
electrical resonant transformer its
production of high voltage low current
high frequency alternating current
electricity was incorporated into
wireless telegraphy and in medical
equipment number six robotics oh boy
we’ve all heard this line before mommy
daddy I want a robot but what it really
means is mommy daddy I want to pay
homage to the great mind of Nikola Tesla
when he introduced his Afra mentioned
boat to a New York City crowd in 1898
you could say that people were a tiny
bit agitated as the concept itself was
frightening but what transpired was the
dawn of a new era a world in which Tesla
hoped that actual robots could assist
human beings in positive ways Tesla saw
the world through a unique lens but most
of his contemporaries saw something else
that’s why Tesla was Tesla and that’s
why we now have robots and as such he’s
also been called the father of robotics
that’s one nail to the Autobots number
five Radio me with all due respect to
the Italian often credited with
inventing radio guglielmo marconi
it was Nikola Tesla who first innovated
the concept unfortunately when he was
preparing to transmit a signal in 1895
his entire lab went up in flames and all
was lost but not the idea of course
even so Marconi was soon all the rage
for his invention that Nikola claimed
was done with numerous Tesla patents but
in 1943 Tesla was redeemed when the US
Supreme Court upheld his original patent
however this came shortly after his
death oh well Tesla fault mark until the
day he died in 1943 same year the
Supreme Court ruled that Mark ona’s
patent was invalid recognizing Tesla as
the invent of the radio Carter really
are sick
number four wireless communications okay
maybe Tesla didn’t invent the idea of
free energy but he did manage to start
building a wireless communication tower
known as the Wardenclyffe tower thanks
to the financial support of JP Morgan by
displaying the relationship between a
transmitter and receiver station Tesla
paved the way for a world of today where
we browse the World Wide Web and send
text messages in 1893 however it was
just another crazy Tesla idea but you
better believe it was an important one
the energy goes to a distant place and
you will see something like the aurora
borealis to conclude we are coming to
great results
number three x-rays the ability to see
inside the human body without cutting it
open was a turning point in the history
of Medicine if you’ve ever broken a bone
you’ve hopefully visited a doctor for a
complete exam this kind of experience
can be traced all the way back to 1894
when Tesla began studying radiant energy
but the Afra mentioned 1895 lab fire
destroyed all of his experiments months
later German vilhelm Rankin discovered
x-rays which led Tesla to build on his
theories by incorporating his Tesla
coils and so radiography was both
thanks to the innovations of one Nikola
Tesla it’s easy toy car all over no
never in your somebody’s rectum you
can’t get it up you don’t know I I’m a
petition would I practice this x-ray
only number two fluorescent bulbs in
this final step they break the mercury
capsules making the lamps ready to start
producing light the original fluorescent
lamp went on the market in the 1930s but
it came after decades of work from a
variety of inventors one of them was
Nikola Tesla who introduced his
electrodeless lamp or induction light at
the world Columbian Exposition in
Chicago in 1893 this occasion marked a
split between Tesla and his former
mentor Thomas Edison who had become
known for developing a long-lasting
electric light bulb I was thrilled to
the marrow meeting Edison this great man
had revolutionized the world with his
incandescent lamp here’s where you’d
normally see the honorable mentions but
we’ve decided that 10 is enough for
today
number one alternating current it was
known as the war of the currents on one
side you have Thomas Edison and General
Electric promoting DC meaning direct
current electricity and on the other you
have Tesla’s AC or alternating current
theory backed by Westinghouse
Edison created a culture of fear by
showing just how dangerous electricity
could be while Tesla shot it through his
entire body about that and it was
Tesla’s AC motor design that was
ultimately adopted in modern times Tesla
invented and innovated many designs of
the course of his 86 years but none of
them more essential than alternating
current do you agree with our list what
is your favorite amazing Nikola Tesla
invention or innovation for more
