He found that at a current frequency of more than 700 Hz, an electric current flows over the surface of the body without damaging body tissues. Electrotechnical devices developed by Tesla for medical research have become widespread in the world. Experiments with high-frequency high-voltage currents led the inventor to discover a method of cleaning contaminated surfaces. A similar effect of currents on the skin has shown that in this way it is possible to remove small rashes, clean pores and kill germs. This method is used in modern electrotherapy.

From 1889 Tesla began to study high-frequency and high-voltage currents. He invented the first samples of electromechanical RF generators (including the inductor type) and a high-frequency transformer (Tesla transformer, 1891), thus creating the preconditions for the development of a new branch of electrical engineering - RF technology.
During his research on high-frequency currents, Tesla also paid attention to safety issues. Experimenting on his body, he studied the effects of alternating currents of different frequency and strength on the human body. Many of the rules first developed by Tesla have become part of the modern basics of safety when working with RF currents.

Nikola Tesla is the author of about 800 inventions in the field of electrical and radio engineering. Among the most significant discoveries - alternating current, fluorescent light, wireless power transmission.
Tesla was the first to develop the principles of remote control, the basics of treatment with high frequency currents, built the first electric clock, a solar-powered motor and much more.
Nikola Tesla created an alternating current generator based on the principles of rotation of magnetic fields, and thus gave humanity the opportunity to make extensive use of electricity.

In 1899, Tesla publicly demonstrated gas-discharge lamps and electric motors operating on high-frequency current without wires.
Between 1900 and 1905, an attempt was made to create a World Wireless Power Station on Long Island (the Wardenclyffe project). After John P. Morgan refused to fund the project, work was halted and the tower was blown up by the US government in 1917.
Towards the end of his life, Tesla became more and more a recluse. He died of heart failure between January 6 and 8, 1943, at the New Yorker Hotel. Despite the large number of patents, Tesla was in debt at the time of his death.
You can learn a lot about the life and work of Nikola Tesla from his autobiography "My inventions"

In 1888, Tesla discovered the phenomenon of a rotating magnetic field, on the basis of which he built ultra-high frequency electric generators. In 1891, he designed a device (Tesla transformer) based on a transformer included in oscillating circuits operating in resonant mode, which allowed to obtain high-frequency oscillations of ultrahigh voltage.
In 1895, Westinghouse Electric launched the world's largest Niagara HPP with powerful Tesla generators.
1896 - Tesla manages to transmit a radio signal over a distance of 48 km.
1899 - Establishes a laboratory in Colorado Springs to study the Earth's electrical potential. Relevant observations prompted the researcher to consider the possibility of wireless transmission of electricity over long distances.

1881 - moved to Budapest, where he worked for a telegraph company. 1882-1884 - worked in Paris in the Continental Company of Edison. Then he created a working model of an induction alternator.
From 1884, Tesla moved to New York without significant wealth, where he also worked initially in Edison's company, achieving great success. A year later, he resigned because Edison did not pay the promised money for the achievement. In addition, Edison was a supporter of the use of direct current, and Tesla believed that the future lies in alternating current. Tesla later collaborated with Westinghouse Electric, the famous industrialist George Westinghouse, where he could implement his ideas. Westinghouse bought more than 40 patents from Tesla (an average of 25 thousand dollars each).

According to legend, Nikola Tesla was born exactly at midnight on a very stormy night. It happened in the village of Smilyany near Hospice in Croatia (Austria-Hungary). His father, Rev Milutin Tesla, was a priest in the Orthodox Church. His mother, Juka Tesla (Mandik), was the daughter of an Orthodox priest. She knew many folk songs, but was not written, which was quite common at the time. The family had five children - two boys and three girls, Nicholas was the fourth child.
In 1862 the family moved to Gospych, where Tesla studied at the gymnasium. Later, Tesla graduated from school in Karlovac. He studied electrical engineering at the Technical University of Graz, where he tried to get a bachelor's degree. But the school did not approve him for this degree due to many omissions of lectures. 1880 - studied at Charles University in Prague.

Nikola Tesla (Serbian: Никола Тесла; Nikola Tesla; July 10, 1856, Smilyan, Croatia - January 7, 1943, New York, USA) was a Serbian and American inventor and physicist.
He came from a Serbian family and later became a US citizen. Tesla is best known for his inventions in the fields of electricity, magnetism and electrical engineering. In particular, he owns the inventions of alternating current, polyphase system and electric motor with alternating current. He was a key figure in the construction of the first hydroelectric plant at Niagara Falls. The unit of measurement of magnetic induction in the SI system is named after the researcher.

In 1863, Edison became a night shift telegrapher at the station with a salary of $ 25 a month. Here he manages to automate part of the work and sleep in the workplace, for which he soon receives a severe reprimand. Soon, through his fault, two trains nearly collided. Tom returned to Port Huron to his parents
In 1864, Thomas took a job as a day shift telegrapher in Fort Wayne. Within two months he moved to Indianapolis and found work in the Western Union telegraph company. On February 11, 1865, Tom turned eighteen. By this time he had already moved to Cincinnati, where he also served as a telegraph operator for Western Union. Here he qualified as a first class operator with a salary of $ 125. From Cincinnati, Thomas moved to Nashville, from there to Memphis, and then to Louisville. In Louisville, he continued his many experiments, ruined the acid manager's office and was forced to move again to Cincinnati, and from there home to Port Huron. In the winter of 1868, Thomas takes a job at the Boston branch of Western Union.

Edison took every opportunity to increase the demand for the newspapers he sold. So, when in 1862 the commander-in-chief of the northern army suffered a serious defeat, Thomas asks the telegraph operator to transmit a short message about the battle in Port Huron and to all intermediate stations. As a result, he managed to increase the sales of newspapers at these stations several times. A little later, he became the publisher of the first train newspaper. It was also during this time that Edison developed an interest in electricity.
In August 1862, Edison rescues the son of the chief of one of the stations from a moving carriage. The chief offered to teach him telegraphic business in gratitude. This is how his acquaintance with the telegraph took place. He immediately sets up his first telegraph line between his house and the house of a friend. Soon there was a fire in Thomas's carriage, and the conductor threw Edison and his laboratory

Edison often visited the Port Huron People's Library. Until the age of twelve, he managed to read Gibbon's History of the Rise and Decline of the Roman Empire, Hume's History of Great Britain, Burton's History of the Reformation. However, the future inventor read his first scientific book at the age of nine. It was Richard Green Parker's Natural and Experimental Philosophy, containing almost all the scientific and technical knowledge of the time. Over the course of time, he did almost all the experiments described in the book [.
From childhood, Edison helped his mother sell fruits and vegetables. However, the pocket money earned in this way was not enough for his experiments, especially chemical ones. Therefore, in 1859, Thomas got a job as a newspaperman on the railway line connecting Port Huron and Detroit. Young Edison's earnings reached $ 8-10 per month (about $ 300 [17] in 2017 prices). He continues to be carried away by books and chemical experiments, for which he seeks permission to set up his laboratory in the luggage car of the train.

In childhood, Thomas Alva was called Al, he was small in stature and looked a little frail. However, he was very interested in the life around him: he watched the steamers and barges, the work of carpenters, the launching of boats at the shipyard, or sat quietly for hours in a corner, copying the inscriptions on the signboards of warehouses. At the age of five, Al visited Vienna with his parents and met his grandfather. In 1854, the Edison moved to Port Huron, Michigan, located at the bottom of Lake Huron. Here Alva attended school for three months. The teachers considered him "limited." The parents were asked to pick up the child from school. His mother took him and gave him his first education at home.
