Tesla

PKGhatak, MD

No.24

Perhaps like many others, I learned about Nikola Tesla when I suddenly found myself standing in front of Tesla's statue in Goat Island, Niagara Falls, NY.

The plaque says :

Niagara Falls, NY, the First Major Hydroelectric Power Plant in the World – Tesla's Greatest Achievement.

And in recognition of his work on AC current, it has become possible to transmit electricity to distant places, and the Buffalo community owes him for the growth and development of Buffalo.

Tesla:

Tesla was born in a Serbian family; the place where he was born now belongs to Croatia. He studied science at two universities but did not graduate. He worked in Paris at the Société Électrique Edison. His supervisor was Charles Batchelor of Edison Electric. Later, he came to NJ with Batchelor to work under Edison. Several years later, he formed his company in New York City with two associates.

These are some of Tesla's important discoveries:

AC Electric Power, Electronic communication, Polyphase AC power transmission, Tesla coil, High voltage transformers, Radio inventor (US Supreme Court ruled in favor of Tesla over Marconi), Remote control technology, Bladeless turbine, and Wireless Transmission of Power.

Life-changing event:

At the World Exposition in Chicago in 1893, Westinghouse Electric won the bid to light the Exposition. Westinghouse asked Tesla to do the work using AC power and Polyphase AC power transmission. At the conclusion of the Expo, the public was convinced of the safety of AC power for home use. That brought fortune and that fueled the Tesla company to grow.

Wireless Transmission of Electricity:

The Pentagon is experimenting with wireless transmission of electricity. One successful experiment was recently reported in a science journal that 800 Watts of electricity was beamed 5.3 miles away using a Laser. According to the journal, all major industrial countries are in this pursuit, and Japan, South Korea, and China are making significant progress. Laser, microwave, and other spectra are being utilized in transmission based on various distances and power levels.

Some companies plan to collect solar power in space and beam the power to the battlefield to recharge batteries. Others are planning to do the same for civilian use on a global scale, using satellite

Sustainability Times, a Green Newspaper, reacted to this news and had a headline:  

Tesla laughed at us from the grave: Wireless Electricity Finally Powers Entire Homes after 124 Years of Scientific Struggle. The wireless Power Transmission Market was 14.4 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach 39.54 billion in 2032.

 One day, one may walk into the Tesla Corner at 40^th Street and 6th Avenue and see a commemorative plaque at the New Yorker Hotel where Tesla lived and died.
