Throughout history, many people have had a significant impact on the world. Some of these people impacted the world negatively, while others focused on leaving a positive imprint on society. Nikola Tesla left an irrefutable signature on the world by inventing or working with the X-ray, radio communication, artificial lightning, the Tesla coil, and the polyphase alternating current motor.
As undervalued as Tesla was, without him, life today wouldn’t be as simple. As a child, he believed he could do great things. Always fascinated by Niagara Falls and how great it would be to harness the power of it, no one had the time to take notice of his brilliance. His father was a priest, who was determined on helping Tesla become a priest just like

Along with his belief to control water for power, he had made several prototypes even by the time he was nine. His most successful invention was a water powered egg beater. At this point his teachers believed that he must’ve been cheating when they saw his work. He was considered a child prodigy and in later years, he tested above the 95th percentile in an IQ test, meaning his score was 200 or over. When someone said something wasn’t possible, Tesla proved them …show more content…
In his spare time, he worked hard on it only to be laughed at when he presented it. Edison soon became Tesla’s enemy. Tesla quit his job working for him within the same year. His first life-changing invention was in 1888 with the AC generators. He sold the patents he had gotten to an industrialist named George Westinghouse. Westinghouse helped make Tesla more known.
Westinghouse used Nikola’s AC generator for what Tesla had dreamed of as a boy, his generator was used to harness Niagara Falls’ power. Tesla was never given credit for any of his accomplishments. He was a pioneer in radio communication, but Guglielmo Marconi had taken credit for Tesla’s first inventions. He had an extensive knowledge of law after his first inventions were misappropriated.
Tesla worked for a very long time with Westinghouse. He sold Nikola’s patents and he featured his inventions in various events and places. The most famous invention he had made was the Tesla Coil. It is a high frequency coil that is still used in TVs and radios. In 1898, he invented the first radio-controlled boat, one of the most known inventions stolen from him by Marconi, he started to become more famous for Tesla’s inventions. Tesla still persevered with his
What exactly inspires people to create great things? Because they are doing it for their own benefit. In the novella written by Ayn Rand titled, Anthem, Equality 7-2521 is motivated to experiment and discover, but not because he is intending to assist his brothers and all of the population. Equality, although he had hoped to join the Home of the Scholars, works as a street sweeper trapped in a collectivist society where all of forms of individuality are banned. At the beginning of the story, Equality discovers a secret, underground tunnel where he slowly starts to discover technologies from the unmentionable times.
Anybody can think of an inventor that changed the world. The light bulb is still affecting the world to this day but the light bulb is not the only invention that is still changing the world. A lot of great inventions are only around until the technology around them changes so much that they become obsolete. If those inventions wouldn’t have been invented the world wound not be the same as it is today. There are many different people that change the world daily.
After years of learning he decided to take his knowledge and make a difference in the world. So in two months he had succeed only found a cure for Alzheimer 's. After that he moved on to bigger problems. He worked for almost two
Some people can be smart in math, others in science, and some are just brilliant in entrepreneurship. When Morgan found a need in safe lighting he did not hold back, he found a well-known and trusted scientist. Thomas Edison had already been working on the light bulb and John knew it was it was the next big thing. Nevertheless, he got the word out and pretty soon electricity was helping all of New York. Carnegie also demonstrates intelligence, when he finds something he knows he can’t do alone,
(Rand 5.10) This quote above shows that he will do anything for his invention, electricity. He will go as far as almost die with it. He will do anything, as long as it’s safe. That shows that he is different from the others, the community.
When he discovered this, he thought that, "The secrets if this earth are not for all men to see, but only for those who will seek them" (Rand 52). The things on the earth that man does not know will not just pop out, but rather man has to go look and learn for the unexplained things that roam the earth. Equality worked aimlessly to discover this new power, that was used in the Unmentionable Times called electricity, like the Dark Ages' candles. He thought that if the World Council saw this discovery suddenly they would become engrossed with Equality and move him into the House of Scholars, unfortunately his invention was rejected because nothing good came out of inventions if they were worked on individually and not my a group of
“The Men Who Built America DVD” begins immediately after the American Civil War. The United States was in a rebuilding stage and the future of the country seemed uncertain. During the next 35 years, there would be a group of men who would change the country and the world forever. These men would have power and wealth never before seen in the world and would direct the United States into the 20th century. The first man is Cornelius Vanderbilt who was a successful business man his entire life.
Ben wrote a book about his experiments on electricity, that became extremely popular and even formed the basis of modern day electricity theory (Compton’s, p. 382). Not only did Franklin leave a great legacy as a scientist, but he also changed the course of American
Have you ever wondered where the light bulb came from, or why you are able to have electricity everywhere in your house, or who invented what lets you watch your favorite movies and TV shows? Well, all this and much more was made possible by Thomas Alva Edison. Thomas Edison was a creative inventor that pushed the science world forward 100 years and had a major positive impact on his decade, the world, and even the rest of history. Thomas Edison had a major positive impact on his society. A large portion of jobs and inventions can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
“Henry Ford’s Model T marked the beginning of the car as a mainstay in our society” (WSP Global). Henry Ford also designed his own engine for his own business. In his younger years, Ford fixed watches for his friends and family. Once Ford was older, he served as chief engineer for the Edison Illumination Company for more than five years. Before Ford started his own business, Karl Benz was credited for the invention of automobiles, but Benz’s cars were expensive.
Nikola Tesla is known for his amazing intelligence. Three of his most shocking inventions show this. One of Tesla’s most revolutionary inventions is the AC induction motor. Tesla had to figure out several equations for the invention of the induction motor. This was no problem for Tesla, as he could do calculus in his head.
Despair.com, maker of Demotivators calendars, posters and mugs shares an important lesson about history. Regarding Nikola Tesla, their illboard for “Brilliance; It’s No Match for Cunning”, states “His inventions changed history and put Edison’s to shame. So Edison changed history and erased his name.” Ulysses S Grant, 18th President of the United States has been giving the same treatment.
Despite a life full of naysayers and doubters, Tesla was head strong and determined to prove to his peers, and even mentors, that he was capable. He relentlessly worked and proved all of those who had doubted him wrong. Our world has seen the wonders of his imagination come to life and Tesla’s significance to our world
Even though Thomas Edison had the great invention of the light bulb he had many more. The inventions he had created were the telegraph, the stock ticker, the phonograph, storage batteries and even the first kinetograph. All of these inventions were just the beginning to a new start in this world. Before all of his inventions Thomas Edison had moved to New York to become an inventor which he created "The Universal Stock Printer" with all the money the telegraph company
