'''Nikola Tesla''' (10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist. He is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.<br />
<br />
== Early Life ==<br />
Tesla was born and raised in the Austrian Empire. He studied engineering and physics in the 1870s without gaining a degree, gaining practical experience in the early 1880s working in telephony and at Continental Edison in the new electric power industry.<br />
<br />
== Career & Innovations ==<br />
Tesla emigrated to the United States in 1884, where he became a naturalized citizen. He worked briefly at the Edison Machine Works in New York City before striking out on his own.<br />
<br />
With partners to finance and market his ideas, Tesla set up laboratories and companies in New York to develop a range of electrical and mechanical devices. His alternating current (AC) induction motor and related polyphase AC patents were licensed by Westinghouse Electric in 1888.<br />
<br />
== Key Inventions ==<br />
* Polyphase Alternating Current System<br />
* Induction Motor<br />
* Tesla Coil<br />
* Wireless Radio Principles<br />
