Nikola Tesla Inventions (Just a few)
Without Tesla we would not have electrical energy systems we have today.
- Fluorescent and Neon Lighting and Wireless Lighting
tesla also bent lighting into letter shapes.
- Remote Control (Robotics, Wireless Control)
tesla invented a wireless (radio signal controlled) boat.
- Tesla coil
quite spectacular. here is a link (mythbusters) to such a device used to make music

- Alternating current
this is the power grid. without it power plants would need to be very close to you. with it the plants can be almost anywhere.
- 3-phase electricity
this is the optimum offsetting of power to keep the generation reasonably even. 2-phase is too jerky. 4-phase means extra wiring for minimal benefit. tesla's three phase solution has been the optimum solution since he invented it.
- Modern Radio
not Marconi who lost his patent to Tesla's earlier one.
- Wireless Electricity (Mystery Invention)
Nikola Tesla claimed the invention of an electrical generator that would not consume any fuel. This invention has been lost to the public, as he destroyed his research. Tesla stated about his invention that he had harnessed the cosmic rays and caused them to operate a motive device. Tesla seems to have believed mankind was not ready for this.
