"Revolutionizing Electricity: The Genius of Nikola Tesla and Alternating Current" In the world of electrical engineering, few names shine as brightly as Nikola Tesla. Born in 1856 in modern-day Croatia, this Serb-US physicist left an indelible mark on history with his groundbreaking work on alternating current (AC). Standard electrical circuit symbols became the tools through which Tesla unleashed his brilliance. With a keen understanding of electromagnetism, he developed AC power systems that would forever change the way electricity was generated and distributed. A captivating portrait from 1890 showcases Tesla's intense gaze, reflecting the determination that fueled his relentless pursuit of innovation. His vision came to life at Westinghouse generators within hydroelectric power stations like Niagara Falls in the USA – a marvel published in 1898. Captured again in another photograph from 1890, we witness Tesla's unwavering dedication to his craft. This image transports us back to c. 1885 when he first began shaping our electrified future. Yet amidst these triumphs, there were darker moments etched into history. The haunting execution of Kemmler on August 6th, 1890—the first man put to death by electric chair—served as a chilling reminder of both the power and potential dangers associated with electricity. Nevertheless, progress prevailed over fear as illustrated by an image from 1898 showcasing an electric chair—an invention born out technology but repurposed for grim purposes. And then there was the mesmerizing TESLA COIL—a true testament to Nikola Tesla's ingenuity—which took center stage in his New York laboratory circa 1894. A photograph captures this magnificent creation crackling with energy and sparking curiosity among all who witnessed it. Alternating current revolutionized our world; it powered industries and illuminated homes across continents thanks to historical illustrations depicting dynamo generators—a direct result of Tesla's pioneering work.
