Nikola Tesla was a prolific inventor who made numerous technological breakthroughs throughout his lifetime. Some of his most notable inventions include:
- AC Power (alternating current)
- Tesla Coil
- Magnifying Transmitter
- Tesla Turbine
- Shadowgraph
- Radio
- Neon Lamp
- Hydroelectric Power
- Induction Motor
- Radio Controlled Boat
Teslas most famous invention is the Alternating Current (AC) power system, which is still used today as the basis of our electrical system. He also designed the first hydroelectric power plant in Niagara Falls, New York, harnessing the power of the waterfalls he had marveled at since childhood. In addition to these inventions, Tesla also worked on developing a radio intended to transmit a signal fifty miles, but another gentleman received a patent for a similar radio design in England before Tesla could complete his work. Teslas inventions and ideas continue to influence modern technologies today, even though he was an underrated genius in his time.
