Editors Note:
Tesla moved to the United
States in 1884, where he worked for Thomas
Edison who quickly became
a rival Edison being an advocate of the
inferior DC power transmission
system. During this time, Tesla was
commissioned with the design
of the AC generators installed at Niagara
Falls. George Westinghouse
purchased the patents to his induction motor,
and made it the basis of
the Westinghouse power system which still
underlies the modern electrical
power industry today.
He also did notable research
on high-voltage electricity and wireless
communication; at one point
creating an earthquake which shook the ground
for several miles around
his New York laboratory. He also devised a system
which anticipated world-wide
wireless communications, fax machines, radar,
radio-guided missiles and
aircraft.
