Nikola Tesla was an individual of change because he made the Alternating current power generator which we use today, and left an age of new possibilities, power, and energy sources. At this time Tesla was competing with edison, Thomas Alva Edison was an American inventor and businessman, who has been described as America’s greatest inventor.

After the next year Tesla Lecture Before AIEE again. Then the succeeding year tesla goes to london to take one at bother lecture. Then lectures people in paris, then 2 months later his mother dies, after there is more lectures to various people.

Then does more lectures for the rest of the year then after his lecture (the year after) Tesla is voted corresponding member of the Serbian Royal Academy of Belgrade which is a seberin role academy. A year later tesla’s fifth ave. lab burns and the first generator for niagara is tested.

Later that month tesla started working on a tower the tower was known as “The World-Wide Wireless System known as Wardenclyffe Tower. ” (tesla universe. om) Two years later they finished the Tower and they started testing the Wardenclyffe.
A year later the Colorado Springs power company sued tesla for his power usage. Although 2 years later tesla’s new turbine was made public but that same year Wardenclyffe workers laid off because J. B morgan withdrew his support and tesla was not able to pay all the workers.
