Nikola Tesla Nikola Tesla An alternating current (AC) is an electrical current where the magnitude and direction of the current varies cyclically, as opposed to direct current, where the direction of the current stays constant. The usual waveform of an AC power circuit is a sine wave, as this results in the most efficient transmission of energy. However in certain applications different waveforms are used, such as triangular or square waves. ...more on Wikipedia about "Alternating current"
A bifilar coil is an electromagnetic coil that contains two closely spaced, parallel windings. In engineering, the word bifilar describes wire which is made of two filaments or strands. It is commonly used to denote special types of winding wire for transformers. Wire can be purchased in bifilar form, usually as different colored enamelled wire bonded together. For three strands, the term trifilar coil is used. ...more on Wikipedia about "Bifilar coil"
Nikola Tesla's dynamic theory of gravity is reported to be Tesla's attempt to formulate a theory relating gravity and electromagnetism, i.e. a unified field theory. No mathematical details of the theory are available, Tesla never published them, and there is no evidence that Tesla ever worked them out besides his own testimony. Because of this, and because of the achievements of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, Tesla's theory is not used by physicists. ...more on Wikipedia about "Dynamic theory of gravity"

An electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical motion. The reverse task, that of converting mechanical motion into electrical energy, is accomplished by a generator or dynamo. In many cases the two devices differ only in their application and minor construction details, and some applications use a single device to fill both roles. For example, traction motors used on locomotives often perform both tasks if the locomotive is equipped with dynamic brakes. ...more on Wikipedia about "Electric motor"

Houston Street is a large thoroughfare running east - west north of the downtown area of the borough of Manhattan in New York City, one block south of 1st Street. It serves as the dividing line between Greenwich Village and SoHo on the West Side and between the East Village and the Lower East Side on the East Side. ...more on Wikipedia about "Houston Street (Manhattan)"
The IEEE Nikola Tesla Award is an annual award given each year to a team or to an individual that has made an outstanding contribution to the generation or utilization of electric power. It is awarded by a Technical Field Awards Council of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The award is named in honor of Nikola Tesla. ...more on Wikipedia about "IEEE Nikola Tesla Award"
The ionosphere is the part of the atmosphere that is ionized by solar radiation. It forms the inner edge of the magnetosphere and has practical importance because it influences high-frequency (HF) (3–30 MHz) radio propagation to distant places on the Earth. ...more on Wikipedia about "Ionosphere"
Knob Hill, Colorado, is most famous for its connection with Nikola Tesla, and it is the name of the place one mile (1.6 km) east of downtown Colorado Springs and the Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind. Here, in 1899, Tesla, several of his assistants, and a local contractor commenced the construction of Tesla's laboratory shortly after arriving in Colorado Springs. The lab's primary purpose was to conduct experiments with high frequency electricity and other phenomena. Its secondary purpose was for research into wireless transmission of electrical power. ...more on Wikipedia about "Knob Hill"
Many deaths, such as the approximate 100 deaths a year in the United States, could be prevented if basic lightning safety precautions were taken when thunderstorms are expected in an area. Lightning ranks second only to floods for storm related casualties in the United States every year. ...more on Wikipedia about "Lightning safety"
Below is a list of Tesla patents. Nikola Tesla was an inventor who, it is said, accumulated 700-plus patents worldwide for his inventions. Some of Tesla's patents are not accounted for, and various sources have discovered some that have lain hidden in patent archives. There are a minimum of 272 patents issued to Tesla in 25 countries that have been accounted for. Many of Tesla's patents were in the United States, Britain, and Canada, but many other patents were approved in countries around the globe. Many inventions developed by Tesla were not put into patent protection (Cheney, 62). ...more on Wikipedia about "List of Tesla patents"
The magnifying transmitter is an advanced harmonic oscillator of the electrical Tesla coil, used for the wireless transmission of electrical energy.[1] Nikola Tesla's apparatus is a high-voltage, air-core, self- regenerative resonant transformer that generates very high voltages at high frequency. ...more on Wikipedia about "Magnifying transmitter"
Nikola Tesla ( July 10, 1856 – c. January 7, 1943; Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Тесла) was a Serbian inventor, physicist, mechanical engineer and electrical engineer of profound genius. He is often regarded as one of the greatest scientists in the history of technology. In addition, Tesla is recognized among the most innovative engineers of the late 19th century and early 20th century. His patents and theoretical work form the basis of modern alternating current electric power (AC) systems, including the polyphase power distribution system and AC motor, with which he helped usher in the Second Industrial Revolution. ...more on Wikipedia about "Nikola Tesla"

Picture thinking, visual thinking or visual/spatial learning is the phenomenon of thinking through visual processing, where most people would think with linguistic or verbal processing. It is nonlinear and often has the nature of a computer simulation, in the sense that a lot of data is put through a process to yield insight into complex systems, which would be impossible through language alone. ...more on Wikipedia about "Picture thinking"
Plasma lamps (also variously plasma globes, plasma balls, plasma domes, or plasma spheres) are novelty items which were most popular in the 1980s. The technology used in the plasma sphere, high frequency currents in an evacuated glass tube, was experimented with by Nikola Tesla for the purpose of studying high voltage phenomena. Tesla called his invention an Inert Gas Discharge Tube. ...more on Wikipedia about "Plasma lamp"
Polyphase coils are electrical coils (phases) connected together in a polyphase system such as a generator or motor. In modern systems the number of phases is usually three, or a multiple of three. Each phase carries a sinusoidal alternating current whose phase is delayed relative to one of its neighbours and advanced relative to its other neighbour. The electrical angles between the phases are usually equal, and always add up to 360 degrees. For example, in a three-phase system, the phases are separated from each other by 120°. The result of such an arrangement is a rotating magnetic field that is used to convert electrical power to rotary mechanical work, or vice versa. ...more on Wikipedia about "Polyphase coil"
A polyphase system is a means of distributing alternating current electrical power. The most common example are three-phase power systems used in industrial applications. ...more on Wikipedia about "Polyphase system"

Telegeodynamics is a mechanical earth-resonance concept for underground seismic exploration proposed by Nikola Tesla. He designed this system for use in prospecting and discerning the location of underground mineral structures through the transmission of mechanical energy through the subsurface. Data from reflected and refracted signals can be analyzed to deduce the location and characteristics of underground formations. Additional non-mechanical responses to the initial acoustic impulses may also be detected. ...more on Wikipedia about "Telegeodynamics"

Terrestrial stationary waves were considered by Nikola Tesla to be his most important discovery. On July 3, 1899, Tesla claimed he had discovered this new geo-electrical phenomenon, which would allow for the transport of electricity around the world. No practical use has been made of this phenomenon. ...more on Wikipedia about "Terrestrial stationary waves"

A Tesla coil is a category of disruptive discharge coils, named after their inventor, Nikola Tesla. Tesla actually experimented with a large variety of coils and configurations, so it is difficult to describe a specific mode of construction that will meet the wants of those who ask about "Tesla" coils. Tesla coils are composed of coupled resonant electric circuits. ...more on Wikipedia about "Tesla coil"
