High-Frequency Currents and Wireless Lighting Tesla Coil and Gas TubesIn 1891, Tesla invented the Tesla coil (US Patent 454,622), a device capable of generating high-frequency alternating currents. He demonstrated wireless power transmission by lighting gas-filled tubes without direct electrical contact. These demonstrations culminated in his famous lecture “Experiments with Alternate Currents of Very High Frequency…

A New Step: Larger Laboratory and Higher Voltages After the encouraging results achieved in his new laboratory in New York, Tesla was ready for the next step. This required a larger facility to accommodate bigger transformers capable of generating voltages around 10 million volts.With donations from investors and friends who believed Tesla was on the…

Triumph at Niagara and a Glimpse Into the FutureFollowing the great success of launching the first hydroelectric power plant at Niagara Falls, all eyes and ears of the world were on a man from a small village in Lika – Nikola Tesla. At the very moment when his polyphase systems became the symbol of a…

From Budapest to Paris: Searching for a Path After his “Eureka” moment in the City Park and the mental clarity with which he envisioned the rotating magnetic field, Tesla still had a long way to go to bring this revolutionary idea to life. Like today, every technical innovation required significant material resources—something a recent graduate…

✨ A mystery that challenges science and inspires faith Each year, on Orthodox Easter in Jerusalem, something strange, mysterious, and sacred takes place. In the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, before the eyes of thousands of believers and under strict surveillance by religious authorities and representatives of other faiths, a flame spontaneously appears—without any apparent…

The Rotating Magnetic Field – A Moment That Changed the World 🧠 “If you let me study engineering, perhaps I will recover” — young Nikola Tesla Early Days and the Discovery of Passion From a young age, Nikola Tesla showed an extraordinary curiosity and a talent for observing nature and technical devices. His love for…

Few individuals in the history of science and technology have remained as prominent and inspiring — not only within scientific and engineering communities but also among the general public — as Nikola Tesla. His inventions reshaped the world, laying the foundations for the Second, Third, and even the Fourth Industrial Revolution, as we will explore…

How Batteries, Chargers, and Trade Wars Are Shaping the EV Revolution The electric vehicle (EV) revolution isn’t coming—it’s already here. But like any revolution, it’s messy, exciting, and full of surprises. In 2024, EVs broke records, strained power grids, and even sparked a few trade wars. Some carmakers soared (looking at you, BYD), while others…

Introduction: The Global Energy Dilemma The world faces a dual challenge: skyrocketing energy demand and the urgent need to curb environmental destruction. Global energy consumption is projected to rise by 50% by 2050, driven by population growth, industrialization, and technological advancements. Meanwhile, climate change accelerates, fueled by centuries of fossil fuel dependence. While renewable energy sources…
