PRESENTATION OUTLINE

NIKOLA TESLA

THE ELECTRIC SWAGGER MAN OF THE 20TH CENTURY

OVERALL:

I CAME UP WITH IDEAS IN THEORETICAL PHYSICS AND INVENTED THE TESLA COIL AND THE INDUCTION MOTOR

I WAS BORN ON JULY 9/10, 1856

BORN IN CROATIA, I BECAME A SCIENTIST WHEN I NEARLY DIED OF CHOLERA

I HAD NO REAL SCIENTIFIC "BACKGROUND"

I WENT TO SCHOOL FOR THE SCIENCES, HOWEVER I DID NOT DO MUCH UNTIL I CAME TO AMERICA

MY "BIGGEST" INVENTION WAS THE A/C INDUCTION MOTOR

WORKING UNDER EDISON, HE EVENTUALLY BECAME A RIVAL WHEN I SURPASSED HIS MOTOR'S SKILLS

MY A/C INDUCTION MOTOR

USING AN ALTERNATING CURRENT, MY MOTORS REVOLUTIONIZED MOTORS/ENGINES FOR THE NEXT CENTURY

"THE MOTOR OF THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION"

BEFORE MY INVENTION, MOTORIZED WORK WAS VERY SLOW AND UNEFFICIENT; MOST MOTORS WERE RIVER BASED

INDUCTION TECHNOLOGY

MY MOTOR HELPED THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION CATCH IT'S "FULL SWING"; MANY IMPROVEMENTS CAME BECAUSE OF MY INVENTION(S)

MY INDUCTION MOTOR IS STILL USED TODAY

FROM HOUSEHOLD FANS TO INDUSTRIAL MACHINES; MANY THINGS WOULD NOT BE HERE WITHOUT MY INVENTION

FUN FACT:

I WAS BORN DURING AN ELECTRICAL STORM; MY MOTHER CALLING ME A "CHILD OF LIGHT"

ANOTHER FUN FACT:

I CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF A "SMARTPHONE" AND I ALSO CREATED A DEATH RAY!

THE END!
