Nikola Tesla (1856 -1943)
                  was a Serbian American physicist, inventor, electrical engineer,
                  mechanical engineer and futurist best known for his contributions
                  to the design of the

                  
modern alternating current
                  (AC) electricity supply system.



                  Tesla gained experience in telephony and electrical engineering
                  before emigrating to the United States in 1884 to work for Thomas
                  Edison in New York City.

                  
He soon struck out onhis
                  own with financial backers, setting up laboratories and companies
                  to develop a range of electrical devices.

                  
His patented AC induction
                  motor and transformer were licensed by

                  
George Westinghouse, who
                  also hired Tesla for a short time as a consultant.

                  
His work in the formative
                  years of electric power development was involved in a corporate
                  alternating

                  
current/direct current "War
                  of Currents" as well as various patent battles.
