Induction Motor and AC
The Induction Motor was a motor that ran on an alternating current and did not require a commutator. A main advantage was that it did not need as much maintenance and did not spark as much without a commutator. Today, an induction motor is now used in modern fans and some factories. -
Tesla Coil
Nikola Tesla invents the Tesla Coil. The Tesla Coil made significant advances in theories of how 'waves' work such as radio waves and he did use the Tesla Coil in an experiment to produce wireless electricity. There is not much of an advantage nor disadvantage to the Tesla Coil. Today, it is used in operations including waves such as x-ray or radio waves. -
Wireless Power
In multiple experiments which struck the decline of Nikola Tesla, he tried to create wireless electricity by using x-rays and radio waves to transfer electricity or through the ground; however, it never worked. In the end, construction of the Wardenclyffe Tower ended up bankrupting Nikola Tesla, especially after his defeat to send a transcontinental message. -
