Born Nikola Tesla
Tesla was an ethnic Serb born in the village and Smiljan (now in Croatia),in the then Austro-Hungarian Empire -
Tesla moved to Graz, Austria, to study electrical engineering.
At this stage discovered the inherent limitations of DC motors and generators. Tesla This discovery convinced of the need to develop motors and AC generators that do not require collectors. In the following years, Tesla set about this task. He rejected the idea of his teacher, who taught his students that it was impossible to develop AC motors and generators. -
Moved to Budapest
Was offered a job at the station by telephone that they were inaugurarAC. -
Arrival to EE.UU

Stars the electryc distribution system of Thomas Edison, with 110 volts DC and 59 costumers in Manhattan
Tesla, however, believed in model based on alternating current. The struggle between the two made history as the "war of currents" -
Tesla found the solution to the problem of alternating current
He clearly perceived using alternating currents to create a rotating magnetic field. This was the fundamental concept that needed to produce an AC motor. -
Arrival to New York of Nikola Tesla
-
George Westinghouse and small electryc network in Massachusetss based alternating current
George Westinghouse was his great ally in the battle against Edison. Inducction motor Tesla Westinghouse was what i needed. -
I first used the electric chair of Harold P. Brown
Harold P. Bronw was an enginner secretly funded by Edison, the electric chair used alternative energy, serving to discredit Tesla. -
Was decided to implement the system of Tesla to harness the hydroelectric potential of Niagara Falls
Tesla claimed that those falls could provide energy to all U.S. -
International trade fair Chicago. Dedicated to the electricity
The Westinghouse and Tesla team achieved milestones in the International Fair of Chicago -
Edison filmore execution of a circus elephant that had killed three men, with AC power
Edison repeat an action in their campaign to discredit Tesla -
Nobel prize in physics
In this year many news papers announced the delivery of the Nobel prize in physics for Tesla and Edison. Finally this did not happen. -
tesla Edison Media waiver offered by the AIEE (American intituto electronic engineers)
because of his great works and applications related to the development of his theory of alternating current.Tesla and demonstrated their anger over the thirty years that he sued the AIEE recognize the importance of their work. -
Death of Nikola Teasla
His work was used by others to generate wealth, but he lived the last years of his life in extreme poverty and died without any recognition.
