He kept to himself most of the time but had a solid inner circle

of friends. He was described as an introvert and would rather work on his inventions than talk to others.

He never married and never had any children saying that a wife and family would distract him from his work.

Tesla pioneered electrical engineering, and his work kick-started electronic advancements worldwide. His main scientific breakout was discovering transmission and alternating current which allowed electricity to travel at great speeds and greater lengths.

The first piece you would need is a power source such as a battery or generator. Next, you will need a wire or something that can conduct electricity safely. The last piece you will need is a lightbulb(anything that can be powered) once you have completed the circuit by connecting the wires you have power!


Prominent scientist in this field:

Michael Faraday

Edith Clarke

John Bardeen

Examples of this are wall outlets and power lines which wouldn't exist without the work of Tesla.

Despite it never being fully operational its influence is unmatched and is an iconic part of Tesla's work.

These numbers are important because they have special properties that can help us to connect with the universe. Tesla would also base his routine around these numbers using them to mange his time.
